Misto Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in New York

I wish I could get a refund. Not pleased at all with this simple meal. I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and zucchini. The salmon was dry (overcooked and hard), potatoes flavorless and lukewarm and zucchini was the same. I was looking forward to coming here because of the reviews and well, needless to say I was totally disappointed and unimpressed. And I wish there was an excuse like, it was really busy this night, or I had a large party, but no. It was a party of two and it was not busy at all. While the waiter was nice, I realized that they did not check on my table at all to see how our meal was or if there was anything more that we needed. I also asked for warm bread and butter with olive oil thinking this is a normal thing at an Italian restaurant, but the bread and butter were cold. Couldn’t even spread the butter. I didn’t order any appetizers ( thank goodness) because I definitely thought bread was soon coming out to the table. (It didn’t, I had to ask.) I even asked nicely if I could have “warm bread please” and it came back burnt. (I didn’t get the picture of that because I had them take it away.) It was hard but the server said they had toasted it. I just wanted warm soft bread and butter. With the price I paid for my meal, I would have never expected the quality I received. I worked my way through as much as I could because I didn’t want to be “that guest”, but I was truly let down. Night ruined.

Kitchen: There is no way that the same crew that cooked for other reviewers was the crew working during my visit. The evening crew did NOT give one care about the food they served.

Atmosphere: The stereo was too loud and random commercials would blast from the speakers. Lighting and patrons were cool.

Waiter: Very polite, but I was noticed he did not check on our table after the food arrived. It was hard to get anyone’s attention. I wondered if it...

This place should be ashamed to call themselves an Italian restaurant. At first glance the location and the atmosphere seemed great but it was QUICKLY overshadowed by the lack of compassion and hospitality by both the server and the hostess. Me and my wife booked our anniversary dinner here one week prior and they had called us to cancel because their gas wasn't working. Although we had to delay our dinner we were still excited to give the place a try.

From the moment we walked in, we were left awkwardly waiting in the front of the restaurant for the hostess. After giving us a table directly NEXT to the server's table we were repeatedly ignored and forgotten about. They took a really long time to even ask for our drinks and to take our appetizers. When it came time to serve us our appetizers, the person bringing out the food almost gave it away to another table. The food came to us COLD and the drinks never arrived.

Once they finally took our orders for our dinner, it was over 40 minutes before we were served. The server even came up to us to ask if we wanted the bill and she was dumbfounded when we told her we haven't even received our meal yet. My wife Ordered their Salmon and I had the Steak. It seemed like their gas was still out as parts of our meal were COLD. I also ordered the steak medium rare, and it came to me very rubbery and over salted. all in all it was a horrible experience.

To top it all off, the server brings us the bill and doesn't even bother to ask us if we would like some desert! Even with all of this I left them a decent tip.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Shameful and disgraceful experience and I hope no one else would have to go through what we went through, especially for an...

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home – 10/10 Experience

From the moment I walked into this restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between cozy and elegant — warm lighting, tasteful decor, and an inviting energy that made me feel instantly at ease. It wasn’t just a place to eat — it felt like a place to belong.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with love. You can tell the kitchen here isn’t just focused on presentation — they’re focused on heart. The drinks were equally impressive — refreshing, well-balanced, and served with care.

What truly set this place apart, though, was the people. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, friendly without being forced — just genuine, kind humans who clearly take pride in what they do. And then there’s the owner. One of the kindest, most sincere people I’ve ever met. His warmth radiated through every corner of the restaurant, and it’s clear that his presence shapes the soul of the place.

Hospitality like this is rare. It wasn’t just good service — it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ve never had a dining experience that felt this personal, this thoughtful, or this memorable.

I’ll absolutely be back — not just for the food, but for the feeling. This restaurant...
