Pat LaFrieda’s — Restaurant in New York

Where to even begin, my family and I attended the Mets Vs Marlins game Wednesday 9/28. My daughter and her school chorus performed the national anthem prior to the game hence why we were there. We wanted to eat at the stadium for convenience but also like more formal sit down meals so I made reservations for party of 7 at 8:30pm as it was an AVAILABLE option on their open table link. Mind you I’ve worked in the fine dining industry and recognized the PatLaFrieda name as they were a main vendor I’ve worked with so I assumed the quality/service would be excellent. It was in fact the complete opposite and I would give ZERO stars if possible. The game had just started (7:10pm) and I received a call from them telling me we would have to go earlier because they would be “closing” after the 5th inning so to arrive at 8pm instead of 8:30pm the original time. So we left the game extremely early (4th inning) to make it, it was a bit difficult to find as it is located within the Delta lounge, another thing that makes no sense since the security was insistent we must be delta club members in order to just enter why even allow online reservations if non-members aren’t allowed? Anyways we finally get inside to be met by two can careless attitude hostesses to be told we would not be allowed to sit on the regular dining table side due to only one server working on that side was not taking anymore tables. She told us our only option would be the bar side with high 4 top only tables mind you we have two kids in our group 8 & 4yrs old and we were 7ppl total. Highly inappropriate and unprofessional she could’ve just mentioned that on the phone while she insisted we come earlier to just be snotty and rude in our faces, her comment after was even more appalling… seeing our mixed race family (Asian & Hispanic) she proceeded to tell us “If you don’t like it you can eat else where”. After that I refuse to spend any money in a establishment that clearly has no proper management or hospitality class. Oh and to make matters even more disgusting as we proceeded to walk out another party of Caucasians only walked in (after 5th inning which we were told they would no longer accept more customers) they were greeted kindly and then seated in the same regular table side section she refused to sit us in! We could’ve still been enjoying the game if we didn’t waste so much time for nothing with this restaurant. Such a shame and definitely does not live up to its name. Hopefully this very real review doesn’t get deleted like the one another person from my group posted because the public deserves to know what they might be getting into trying to dine here and the owners should really re-evaluate their...

I have dined here 16 times in 2022. The staff is great. Very friendly and total professionals from the front desk to the wait staff. The managerial staff is very accomodating. Steve the manager always makes sure i am taken care of. If you go, ask for the table by the visitor’s batting cage.

I have tried everything on the menu. The pork belly as an appetizer is top notch. The lobster fra diavolo is good and plentiful though i nearly fell asleep after the game after eating it. The steak sandwich is awesome. The bread they used for it is great. I once ordered the bread on the side for my pasta. The Miso glazed cod is my favorite. I have ordered it the most from their menu. The forbidden rice is perfectly made. The bok choy mixes well with the miso sauce. The cod is quite tender. If i were to recommend anything it would be that.

You may gawk at the price but this is fine dining at the ballpark. I would come here in the off season if they were open. Now i have to wait till April before i have Miso...

We always have a very , Oh so yummy delicious Burger here before a game. I want to mention that the staff is amazing !!! But Steve, the Manager goes above and beyond to check in on us every-time we dine here . I really believe he gets joy in knowing we are enjoying the food and having a good time. In all the stadiums I have visited he exceeds the general expectation of hospitality. He is an absolute pleasure and his team of staff are too!! We look forward to his friendly smile and genuine nature when we visit. Here are some pics from todays meal. The wings are crunchy and cooked perfectly. The burgers were excellent , as always. We never have a wait to be seated and the food comes out pretty quickly. So no worries ,stop in before game time and Steve will take...
