Bar Valentina — Restaurant in New York

Would not recommend. They do not care for their customers.

We sat in the corner of the bar starting around 7 PM. Before that, the bar was nice. We had great service and At 9 PM, with no notice (and right after we received a new round of drinks) they kicked us out of the corner saying that a DJ was going to take our spot. When we took more than a minute to leave, they rushed us to leave the area. While we were leaving the area, they brought a table in and barely allowed us to leave.

In the process, they threw us in the back by the bathroom and told us we couldn't sit down because all tables were reserved. They tried to accommodate us by telling us that we could get a bar where other people were "leaving soon". Those people had no intention of leaving and we were crammed into a corner by the bathroom while waiting for them to leave. In the end we found out there was no DJ, there were just two people of a more "preferred group" who ended up taking our spot. We left because we were poorly treated.

Long story short, do not recommend, they will prefer their own clientele to you. Especially if you do not fit their expected clientele, race...

Came here on a Sunday evening looking to enjoy the patio seating and have a few glasses of wine in a party of four. It was very empty at this time and there were few people coming by dimes square so we thought the environment was very lax.

Unfortunately was immediately talked down by a pretty rude waitress while I was waiting inside on the phone who asked me about the paper plate I was holding that I was looking to throw out and basically kicked me out to throw it away before being seated. We were told to seat ourselves and so when we combined two tables for our party of four the same waitress came to tell us that they usually don’t allow that and why did we do that, but “whatever”. Clearly having a rough day and thought to take it out by power tripping some customers. The atmosphere was nice but the lack of hospitality will deter me from ever coming back. The other waitresses were quite sweet, but they do not make up for...

My friends and I came to NYC from North Carolina for a weekend trip and decided to stop by for some drinks. Unfortunately, one of the bouncers/servers refused to believe our IDs were real. Even after we offered to have them scanned or to call the police to verify, they said they didn’t have a scanner. When we tried to explain ourselves, the staff member smugly replied, “If you say so,” and still refused to serve us.

As we were leaving, she said “bye” in a condescending, sarcastic tone, which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. We were respectful the entire time, and it was disappointing to be treated so poorly when we were just trying to enjoy our night out.

Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone visiting the city who expects basic courtesy and...
