BAR GOTO — Restaurant in New York

This place is super underwhelming… also the servers / employees have a lot of attitude for no reason…? E.g. we were deciding whether to sit inside or outside and the waitress kept repeating “YOU CANNOT MOVE BACK IN ONCE YOU DECIDE TO SIT OUT HERE.” I mean… okay, I’m not deaf. Also… please…chill.

Their whole attitude and treatment was that of an establishment that thinks they’re the talk of the town. For the record, I’ve been to lots (almost all) of the so called hip speakeasies/bars in town ranging from death & co, attaboy, katana kitten, La Knoxe, patent pending, angel’s share, little branch, thyme bar, 29b—list goes on and you get the point—, but this one had the most underwhelming drinks by far made worse by their condescending attitude…

We had the Sakura Martini and cucumber apple fizz. Drinks were pretty standard and a bit boring imo… so much that we moved to Double Chicken Please after the second drink. Maybe my disappointment was greater because I had high...

This bar got on my list because it was listed to have one of the better martinis in town however, their martinis are made with sake which I’m not a huge fan of sake - I understand this is a personal choice.

Everything was good. It wasn’t amazing. It was good the wings however we must stand out with the flavor. I just don’t really like to eat wet wings. They allowed us to enter for standup space which the standup space here was quite enjoyable. We came in for a quick drink as we were kind of barhopping in the area.

The staff was excellent. The space is adorable. It’s a really cute space. I can see for a great date night. The staff was very helpful kind funny and engaging personally, not my favorite place but I do recommend if you want a cute date night spot too small...

I went to Bar Goto last night, everyone was super nice and the drinks were great! 👍🏻

I saw they offer gluten free okonomi-Yaki and was super excited because I am gluten intolerant. I asked the waitress if all options are gluten free and she told me yes except the fish option. We decided on the herbivore and when it came to the table double checked that it was indeed the gluten free option. It was and I ate it. It was delicious!

Fast forward to this morning though and clearly there was something in the dish that was not gluten free. Perhaps in the sauce? In the oyster sauce or the Worcestershire?

I should have been more specific as many people don’t know many sauces can contain gluten. I just wanted to warn anyone else...
