I visited the NYC City Winery to see the Don Lemon show which was awesome btw. The winery was a cozy place with an inviting atmosphere. You can see the stage from all angles. I sat in the back at one of the high tables and could see just fine. The drinks were well balanced and the food were a perfect portion. I would recommend.

I've been to the restaurant portion twice in 5 years and both times they've served me burnt food. The first time it was a burger and they were nice enough to replace it, hence no negative review. This most recent time it was the wings which they had a special for. I don't understand how the chef or the wait staff think it's acceptable to serve burnt food.
I would not trust this place for food given these experiences as presumably it's almost certainly the same people cooking for the events as well. If you're willing to send food back and wait extra long for your food, then perhaps disregard this review.

Always a great time. Service was prompt.I just feel like the food is really over priced but has great flavor. 14 bucks for fries is insane. Bartenders make an amazing Lemon Drop, Cosmo, Martini, and Margaritas. Great sound system for whatever performance. I've been to comedy shows and music events and it was never a issue. The staff is also friendly. Try it out. It's perfect for SOLO dates with YOURSELF. I go often and I feel safe and meet really cool people.

Meine Frau und ich waren im Restaurant und haben einen Burger gegessen und einen Cocktail ( Espresso Martini ) getrunken. Der Cocktail stand zwar nicht auf der Karte und so wir haben kurz den Kellner gefragt und der Cocktail wurde für uns gemacht. Das Essen war sehr lecker und der Espresso Martini war einer der Besten die ich getrunken / genießen dürfte. Der Kellner war sehr nett und zuvorkommend und der Preis für ein solches Restaurant in NYC angemessen.
Zum Schluß möchte ich mich ausdrücklich bei der Managerin bedanken. Ich hatte aus Versehen zuviel Tip eingetragen und wollte das nachdem die Rechnung schon gebucht war korrigieren. Die Managerin hat trotz der Sprachbarriere meinen Fehler schnell und unkompliziert korrigiert. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür.....
