First, I forgot I had come here until I stepped in and it felt familiar. Secondly, same rating, but for different reasons. My first trip was marred by chilly hostesses, crowded bar vibes, and mediocre food. It was saved and upgraded to a 4 by an amazing and attentive bartender. This time, the hostess happily seated me at a comfortable table. Service was good. Drinks were fine. I did make the mistake of ordering the steak again (failed to check Yelp! Until after I had ordered. Do NOT order the steak. Just plain and still fatty with so-so truffle fries. I did have the pigs in a blankey for an appetizer, with Kobe beef wrapped in puff pastry, accompanied by mustard, and sauerkraut. This was quite tasty! So I didn't have an amazing over the top bartender this time, but decent service and a much more welcoming atmosphere. Again, pub type food, burgers, a few mains like steak (pass), chicken Milanese, salmon. Some small pizzas. And some ok cocktails. Main draw to this place is that it's close to the theater district. Otherwise I would never go to midtown.

Nice pub in Manhattan where I got to enjoy an excellent nightcap. Even though they were pretty busy, the waiter did a great job at taking care of us. My brother had a mocktail, a coffee like drink which was really light and flavorful. I had the "Black Manhattan", a really finely made drink. They specialize in cocktails, and also have a gastro pub like menu. I didn't try it that night but it's a really relaxing place. I'd stop by again for another nightcap. Great service and drinks, thanks!

I confess I skip out usually when coworkers plan after work drinks here, but I did finally stop in for lunch. The food is good! Got the kale and avocado salad, fish and chips, and the southern fry chicken sandwich. Really impressed, would go back to eat!

Visited the Elgin after seeing a Broadway show. I really enjoyed the experience, and it didn't seem like a tourist trap the way many restaurants in the Times Sqaure area tend to be. The service was prompt, all the food was hot and tasty, and I loved the bi-level aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return if I'm ever in the area again.

We came here for a pre-show dinner and really enjoyed it! We arrived with a reservation and were sat promptly - and then our server was fantastic! We all tried different cocktails and they were both delicious and beautifully presented! We also shared the mezze platter and was glad our vegan friend could join in with some of the dips and the veggies provided. Finally, my sister and I split the gnocchi and the fish and chips - honestly, probably some of the best fried fish I've ever had in my life, and with a delicious curry sauce. I will definitely be back.

Love the vibe of this place. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. French Onion Soup - Good, but I would recommend sharing this. Fried Cauliflower - Flavorful and light. Wings (House Buffalo) - I can't stop thinking about these. Sirloin Sliders - So juicy and tender. Fish & Chips - Lightly battered and crispy. Churros - I thought chocolate filling and chocolate dipping sauce would be too overwhelming, but they were subtle and not too sweet. I would love to return and try more of their dishes!

I've been here twice this year, January and November. Both times, service was top notch. Food and drinks were GREAT. I had the caesar salad with salmon one time and the other I have the impossible burger. Both delicious! My husband had the turkey sandwich and loved it. The side of broccolini was amazing! The sprinkling of cheese and bread crumbs was amazing. Yum! The place is large, clean, efficient, and well priced. Location is great. I like trying new places when in NYC but we will end up at the Elgin each time because it's delicious and a solid choice!
