TBar — Restaurant in New York

Ambiance (5/5): The inside is a split level and opens into the back mezzanine and also has an upstairs. The decorations are ornate. It was a bit dark but cozy and not too loud that you can hear each other. Service (5/5): The service is wonderful; coat checks in the front. Kind and attentive staff. Timing of dishes were great. Water glasses were refilled often. Took a little time getting the bill paid but overall, great service. Food (4/5): We came here for restaurant week ($60 3-course meal) and asked to order everything as family style. By doing so, the staff was kind enough to provide us each plates and we helped ourselves when the dishes came. Table bread: They were soft and filled with olives but was super olive-forward Crispy Sushi (5/5): This was my favorite of the 3 appetizers. The spicy tuna was nicely seasoned and texture of the crispy rice was a unique bite. Tartare (4/5): The tuna was very fresh and lightly seasoned with soy and sesame. My only qualm was that it came with 2 pieces of bread. Angel Wings (4/5): This was such a unique presentation to your typical wings. The meat was tender but I felt that the tamarind glaze a bit too forward. Nevertheless, still good. Filet Mignon (+$25) (4/5): It was cooked perfectly to our requested medium-rare. They also kindly provided each of the 3 sauces (béarnaise being my favorite). I had wished that they seasoned the filet some more as it was pretty bland without the sauces. The mashed potatoes were smooth and had a slight butter taste. Chicken Milanese (4/5): While the exterior breading was done to a perfect crunch, the breading lacked flavor besides the butter it was fried in. Perhaps, the salad atop the chicken could have been dressed with something to balance out the tastes. Burger (4/5): The burger was beautifully seasoned and cooked to a medium as requested. The fries were cooked well done also as requested! The crunch was lovely but it lacked some flavor. The pickle was hardly pickled and more like a cucumber with some salt. The added cheese gave the burger a more savory finish. Banana Parfait (5/5): This was the star amongst the desserts (and probably of all the dishes!) Caramelized bananas are atop a bed of vanilla ice cream and caramel crust. The warmed bite was a welcomed balance to all the flavors. Strawberry Sundae (4/5): This was not overly sweet and the strawberry ice cream and flavors came through. The soft cream and cake was lovely. Molten Chocolate Cake (3/5): The cake was almost too bitter and not very sweet but was very rich. Perhaps the lack of flour compromised...

Words can’t explain how disappointed I am in this establishment.

My family and I come here often: whenever we don’t want to venture out into the city, after shopping in Manhasset, or if we need somewhere more quiet to host groups of friends. The food isn’t spectacular (it has a few highlights like the squid ink linguine though some dishes like the porterhouse needs work). But it still has a decent ambiance to bring guests to, especially when you’re tired of T-bar and the other options nearby.

We came here on Mother’s Day weekend (May 10th) for dinner straight from home and left our car in valet. Usually we self-park when possible but it was too packed to do so. We left late at night after dinner going straight home, and the next day (Sunday) we saw that the back right wheel of our car was scratched by something green. I immediately called T-bar that night and they told me to call the valet service, who very unprofessionally blew up at me on the phone.

Naturally, the valet service then informed me a week later that no one knows anything and hasn’t provided me any details of where our Porsche was parked or camera coverage. I literally have a time stamped snap of me unloading presents from the car right before we left for dinner that shows the vehicle was unscratched, and yet NO one has taken any responsibility or has had the decency to follow up.

We immediately went back to talk to the manager who assured us he’d speak with the owner and give us a resolution. But it has now passed FATHERS DAY and all that has happened is them passing the ball to each other and telling us there’ll be an update next week. There’s still been no resolution OVER A MONTH — absolutely zero regard for their customers that come here regularly.

They've completely failed to take responsibility when something went wrong under their watch. Until this is properly resolved, we won't be returning, and I'd strongly advise others to avoid or risk having your own vehicle damaged with no...

I visited T-Bar with some friends this week and we had a memorable experience worthy of sharing and recommending! Firstly, the location is perfect for those of us who are fascinated with the Upper East Side’s particular charm – but personally, the factor that always draws me back to T-Bar is the restaurant’s consistency in providing top quality and imaginative dishes. On this occasion, we started with the Guacamole and Tortilla Chips and the Angel Chicken Wings to share. The Guacamole was delicious – we were even surprised by how well the kitchen nailed this dish and considered asking them to reveal their secret recipe – absolute perfection! The chicken wings were served in a particular style, they reminded me of the chicken skewers usually served at fancy cocktail parties – I thought this was such a stylish and great idea. These were one of the best wings I have ever eaten, compliments to the kitchen again! For the main course we shared the Black Angus Porterhouse – a classic steak cut you can only find in selective New York restaurants. T-Bar had it! Perfectly cooked, tender, fresh and juicy – this is what I am looking for in a steak and T-Bar had the whole package. We ordered fries and spinach for sides. The spinach was great and a superb alternative to the creamy spinach I usually go for. Unable to resist the dessert menu, we ordered the Strawberry Sundae and Warm Apple Crisp. A perfect combination between the fresh fruit, shortcake and cream made the Sundae a perfect summer dessert and the Apple Crisp was also superb. I had the Ginger Martinis throughout the meal and it complimented all the dishes perfectly – I recommend this cocktail for warm summer nights. Of course, if you prefer wine, they have a great selection of both white and red! A delicious dinner in a lavish ambience, great service and friendly staff - T-Bar has it all! A massive well done to the kitchen and staff again, will...
