Ana Bar and Eatery — Restaurant in New York

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ana Bar and Eatery in the vibrant Hudson Yards, and overall, my experience was delightful, leaving me eager to return. This trendy spot combines a cool atmosphere with a diverse menu that caters beautifully to plant-based eaters, making it a standout in the area.

Ambiance: Great inviting atmosphere, seating everywhere depending on the time of day.

Plant-Based Options: As a plant-based eater, I was thrilled to discover Ana's extensive selection of tasty options. The menu features a variety of dishes that celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients. I opted for the roasted vegetable salad, which was bursting with flavor and texture, thanks to the perfect blend of grains, greens, and a zesty vinaigrette. The creativity in their plant-based offerings sets Ana apart from many other eateries in the area, ensuring that everyone can find something to enjoy.

Desserts: One of the highlights of my visit was undoubtedly the dessert selection. I indulged in the chocolate babka, and let me tell you, it was heavenly! The rich chocolate swirls meld perfectly with the soft, doughy texture, creating a decadent treat that I can’t stop thinking about. This dessert is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth or just looking to indulge after a satisfying meal.

Beverages: Ana also excels in its beverage offerings. I enjoyed a couple of their fresh, natural juices, which were both refreshing and packed with flavor. The juice bar here is a fantastic touch, allowing diners to pair their meals with healthful, delicious drinks that enhance the overall dining experience.

Service: The customer service at Ana was commendable. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, providing recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It’s clear that the staff is well-trained and genuinely invested in creating a positive dining experience.

Value: The only downside to my visit was the pricing. While I understand that Hudson Yards is a premium location with high overhead costs, I found the prices to be on the higher side, especially for the portion sizes. However, the quality of the food and the overall experience somewhat justified the expense.

In conclusion, Ana Bar and Eatery is a fantastic choice for those seeking delicious plant-based options and delightful desserts in a cool atmosphere. From the vibrant ambiance to the friendly service, it’s a spot worth visiting, even if it comes at a premium. I look forward to returning and trying more from their...

Edit: the management team is excellent and a sole person should not be held representative of the entire business. Management went above and beyond to rectify the situation.

What a joke. The guy in the front was extremely rude on 01-08-2023 at 12:15pm. He needs to get some type of coaching. My parents, wife, and I went to the establishment after my sister had recommended it. We had a look at the buffet and decided to go with the single items. We chose our items and I was paying for them at the cash register. As we were new to the place my parents were further looking at the display case and menu and the man behind the coffee machine wasn’t even giving my parents a chance to look at the menu and display case. He wouldn’t even let them stand at the counter. He kept harassing them to leave or move as if they were behind the counter. Mind you, the display case and menu is front facing so you have to stand there to see the items and menus! Then I paid with the kind lady at the cash register. The man continued to harass my parents, I don’t know what his problem was. He was being extremely nice to another lady who he’s probably seen before acting like myself and my parents were a burden. So I spoke up and confronted his disrespect, and he spoke back to me, a customer! I’ve owned a business and have NEVER spoken to a customer like that. Don’t talk to my parents like that and learn respect, I was astonished at his disrespect — he stared at me from afar and then charged up on me, coming at me, as if he was going to punch me. Then he verbally abused me in front of the whole restaurant. I wanted to walk out of there without anything but I had already paid, and the lady was trying to make the situation better. He did not even apologize for his disgusting behavior. He made my mother and father very uncomfortable and upset and he didn’t even bother to apologize to them. The lady was very nice hire more people like her. It seemed like she was familiar with the situation so obviously she knew he’s really rude. If it was just me, whatever but never again, learn some respect and manners and how to treat elders, I am in...

I made conversation with a few employees at Ana’s Bar & Eatery while sitting at the bar. I was shocked to find out their ages as they were consuming shots of tequila, rum and coke etc. Ana’s Bar & Eatery was serving underaged employees (all below 20) alcoholic beverages at the bar. I’ve been there 3 times & It’s been made a routine for them to sit & fraternize with guests. One late evening, an employee threw up at the bar in a garbage can and they proceeded to serve her more alcohol afterwards. I overheard one employee state that they had covid and their manager told them to come in to work anyway. There are fruit flies all over the sweets in the coffee bar area where fresh juices are prepared. When I asked for my tab to leave the bar area because I was disgusted, a bartender named Alex was extremely rude about the fact that I wanted to close my tab and did not tip her. She went as far as saying “if you can’t afford to tip, maybe you should not dine out”. Truly disgusting experience. I will not be returning and if I were any of those kids parents, I’d be suing for negligence. Underage drinking is UNACCEPTABLE. The owner and management should...
