Bar212 — Restaurant in New York

Do not eat here.

It looked like a nice place. My fiance and I wanted something a bit more than a sandwich from a side shop so we decided to try this place while waiting for our flight.

We made the wrong decision.

First, the scan to order tags apparently didn't work. Meaning they wouldn't put in your order but they would take your money. We weren't told this by the server until after we were getting prepared to order and the woman sitting beside us warned us that she made an order and they didn't have what she ordered at all - and still took her money.

A lot of people eat at these places, so we assumed it was just a fluke, and put in our order with the waiter.

We waited about 20 minutes for our food. What came out was LESS than the quality of something you would buy at a corner shop from the airport. We ordered a hot italian panini - what came out was inedible with one slice of meat and cheese.

The bread wasn't toasted fully and yet it was hard as a rock. The cheese barely covered one half of the bread and was melted over one slice of pizza pepperoni. There were no condiments. The chips were burnt with no flavor.

We tried to get the waiters attention. We could not. He was also ignoring others who were trying to order. My fiance waited by the bar, made eye contact with the server while holding our untouched plates and he walked away. We waited another 15 minutes before preparing to pack up our stuff. This is when he finally approached us and we told him the situation. He seemed angry and yelled "You pay for your drinks" as if we hadn't already tried and waited.

We don't normally write bad reviews. We're honestly really relaxed when we go out to eat and there have been plenty of times that we've just sucked it up when we got a bad order. But we could not ignore it this time.

We paid 10 dollars for two sodas and left. We would have spent almost 35 per person for food worse than a dollar hotdog at sheetz.

All I have to say is: don't make the same mistake we did by trying this place.

Go to NY Creperie and get way better service, smiles, and a much better sandwich for less than...

It’s both telling and appalling that I rated the atmosphere of this airport bar as the best aspect of this establishment (two stars compared to the one star for both food and service). I sat down at a table, scanned the QR code as instructed, ordered two drinks, and paid. And then, I waited. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes. Only at this point, when I received a text that said if I didn’t close out my tab, a 20% gratuity would be automatically added, did I wave down the server. She was the only one staffed in the entire large seating area, which is a sign of poor management. She was very kind and apologized for the lack of service, and promptly returned with our drinks. However, I did not receive the Bloody Mary I had paid for; I received the standard one while I had paid extra for one with additional garnishes. I rarely, if ever, leave restaurant/bar reviews. However, I made an exception for this establishment as to warn others of the peril you are putting yourself in by being here. A $60 tab for 2 drinks (wine and a Bloody Mary) with tax and tip is appalling for both the quality of the food and service here. I understand this may seem to be a harsh review for a bar at LaGuardia airport, but I’d rather be sober at the OLD LaGuardia airport than experience another...

CFA can make a better sandwich for a small fraction of the cost.

Seemed like an elevated airport restaurant/ bar. Saw the picture of the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and decided I wanted it.

The whole process of ordering was honestly kinda clunky. Service with the actual people was fine today.

I was in a rush so I didn’t open my food container until I sat down on the plane. The meat looked like it was the size of a McChicken and had a similar breading texture on the it.

There was a mere dribble of the hot chicken sauce on the top center of the chicken and over all paled in comparison to what must have been a generic chicken sandwich photo.

It came with chips that were pretty good but $25 before the tip is robbery. Wish I had taken a...
