Best Gastro Pubs in Hell's Kitchen

Lovely Xmas day meal , great service and delicious flavoursome food

I really enjoyed The Elgin. I took my family here for Christmas Eve dinner. It was their first time being in NYC and they wanted to see the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center. The Elgin is a 3 min walk from 30 Rock so it worked out perfectly. The food was amazing as well. I’d say elevated bar food. The Carolina BBQ wings were EXCELLENT, the shrimp tacos were delicious, Salt & Vinegar fries were to die for. We also ordered the calamari and fish & chips which were great as well. The appetizers didn’t miss at all. And the cocktails were Amazing too: a great way to get warm after being out in the cold. I was very happy with my experience there and will definitely go again.

The service was a little slow they told us when they say is we had 90min, it took the waiter at least 25 min to attend to us. A kit you need reservation thank God we need. Had the French onion soup it was just ok not much taste, the car sales was good, the tea a sandwich and biscuit very expensive. The cheeseburger my daughter said was good. You mostly go for the ambience. For 2 people it was a little over $100.

I ordered the buffalo chicken burger, and it was delicious. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The place itself is beautiful, with really nice decor, and the music was good. I didn’t like the cheesecake, but that’s probably because it was baked; I prefer the ones prepared differently. It’s just a personal preference. I really recommend this place.

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
