Atmosphere review insights for New York, United States

- A drip coffee set us back $9 - We paid $15 dollars for a side of roasted potatoes, despite the menu saying $10… we received less than one whole potato cut up into 3 pieces - An automatic 20% service was added despite the team being unorganised and rude. (Policy states automatic gratuity is only added for parties of 5+, we were a booking of 2) - For the Christmas Pre-fixe menu and one hot drink each, we paid $200+ each. - Absolutely no Christmas decorations which was poor considering all of the other diners were there for the (Christmas) Pre-fixe Perhaps this restaurant was just out of my financial league, so this review is for the average New Yorkers and tourists: save yourself the cheque, it won’t be hard to find somewhere just as good for 1/3 of the price.

10 people at the bar at 8pm on a Saturday night and the bartender was “slammed”. Waited to order drinks for 15 minutes and when she finally came over she refused to make some shots for our group so we asked for something much easier, a lemon drop, and she said “wow, you’re really set on that aren’t you?”. WTH? Yeah, drinks are almost 20 bucks in this town and you weren’t even that slammed in a half-empty bar.

A bit of a letdown for brunch — the atmosphere was beyond chaotic, the service abrupt, and the food average. I ordered the smoked salmon plate which felt overpriced for the portion size and stale bread. The ricotta lemon pancakes were also a pass. Glad to see their business is bustling but probably won’t be back!

A bit odd. But I tried Tater Tots for the first time and they were nice. A good selection of beers too. Maybe we timed it wrong but there was no atmosphere whatsoever. We left after one drink.

A friend and I have been wanting to try this new Elmwood Village restaurant. Foodies at heart, we made reservations a week in advance for a Friday at 8pm. Upon our arrival the hostess indicated it would be 'just a moment as they were setting the table'. Three other guests arrived and people left and we were still waiting to be seated. There was no room at the bar. In frustration, I approached the hostess again asking what the point of making a reservation if we had to wait to be seated? She smiled, excused herself to see what the hold up was and came back indicating that someone would be right with us. Within seconds, they escorted us to a two-chair table next to the plastic and rail that would be open to the street if it were warmer. This place isn't shy with pricing. We ordered wine and a cheese and charcuterie board. For the price, it was a bit underwhelming, very little cheese, three types of meat, a small bowl of olives, lots of greens and some chutney. We each ordered entrees, veal medallions and the seafood risotto with plans to share. The veal was tough. My friends seafood (lobster) was bad with a heavy ammonia scent. How could the chef not know the seafood had gone bad? We flagged our server and indicated the issue, she removed the entree and asked if we wanted anything else and indicated she would remove the entree from the bill. We were over this place at this point. We requested our bill, nothing else was comped and we left. There are many wonderful restaurants in Western New York, with poor service and lack-luster food quality, I don't see them surviving. I can assure you, we won't be back.

A great venue for an early Saturday evening lunch. Great menu options served quickly by friendly and professional waiting staff. Particular highlights amongst our party of 6 included the Lobster Ravioli, the Gnocchi , Asparagus and Meatballs. Atmosphere was lively but on reflection it was a little too busy to chat amongst the table and there was a slight feeling that the staff was trying to clear our table on what was a very busy evening service. Would definitely return and recommend, but just let down by the vibe

As locals, we love to support local businesses and find gems in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, Printemps hugely misses the mark. We had a party of 4 for a 5:30 PM booking, but there was no table available. We were asked to wait, which was no issue, until around 20 minutes passed, and our party was forgotten. Upon returning to the host stand, the new host was unaware of the situation, and we were then sat as if this was an absolutely acceptable occurrence. After being sat, it took quite some time for a server to approach our table for orders, and then it was as if our table was completely forgotten the rest of the evening. After plates had been cleared and our party was sitting for an extended period of time, we had to ask for the check - of which left our table with two cards and returned with one. Upon letting the staff know, the card was found, and albeit apologetic, we were informed this happens often due to the check holder design. Concerning, to say the very least. The food and drink were great, but for the prices and appearance that Printemps sets forth, the experience was entirely unacceptable. We will not be coming back any time soon and will be advising our friends of this unfortunate experience to hopefully save them from the same.

During a busy christmas period walking around New york, we spotted Connolly's bar and thought, Great an irish bar, previously living in Chicago i thought you cant go wrong with a proper traditional irish bar (I was wrong) we asked if we could just sit at the bar and have a few drinks, they were very accomodating, we asked what the procedures were to go outside for a cigarette, I was told I needed to put my card behind the bar or set up tab, willingly i did, came back inside and had another 2 beers with my partner, when we decided to leave, we asked to settle the tab by cash, we gave a good tip and offered to buy some of the staff a drink, we are talking about a $90 bar tab without tip, two days later i saw that they had charged my card used to set the tab up,Credit Card Company told me because i entered my pin in to the device to set the tab up, i was not able to retrive any of the monies back, I have contaced Conollys several time via email, and nothing was done about it, I just feel they took adventage of tourists, so I would take caution to setting up TABS in this bar
