Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in NoHo

We had a really nice time at the piano bar, the Christmas decor was beautiful and went so well with the existing decor, its like stepping back in time to another era. Kudos to whoever hung the garland on the outside columns, so symmetrical and well done, a grand holiday entrance providing a warm festive welcome! The second pianist we heard that evening was absolutely wonderful, he played beautifully and he sang with a light heart. He interacted with the crowd in a non intrusive way that enabled the diners not only to enjoy their food but to make casual musical requests and really enjoy the music as well. I could see that he was reading the room and playing more of the style he saw folks enjoying. I especially loved his riff that gently melded into a beautiful rendition of Let it snow, it made the cold December night sparkle with joy!

The services are great, very polite and professional. Due to our diet, we asked to change the menu a bit, and the chef was able to accommodate without additional charges. Told us the price when going over the specials ( very few restaurants do so). The food is very good, Oyster is the best I have had for while. Fish was done just right with lots of flavors. My husband had steak and was very happy with it. We also had three appetizers, they are all very delicious! This is our new favorite restaurant!!

We loved our experience at Joanne! They have long been a favorite for a nice meal near Lincoln Center with good gluten free options for my family members with celiac. This time, we also learned they have a nut free kitchen, which was wonderful for another member of our party with a severe nut allergy. The servers were very kind and the live music on the patio was lovely—festive but not too loud. Everyone had a delicious, warm, winter dinner before our show and we'll be back!

Such a great restaurant with an equally great ambiance. The service was fast and the food was AMAZING!! I will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends!!!!

I had the pleasure of celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with a group of 14 friends. We planned the event months in advance to secure a space. We selected the prix fixe menu for our large group and the food and service was exceptional! I would like to thank Maria taking care of our group! Maria made us feel valued as restaurant guests. Maria was extremely kind and professional and went about d and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Also, Christian the manager was great! He did an amazing job managing the restaurant and his mezcal flight presentation was top notch! The fire dancer was an exceptional touch and added excitement to a great evening. She took the time to greet our table and took pictures with our group. The food, service and ambiance was made for a memorable evening for my wife’s 50th birthday celebration! Keep up the good work! Last, but not least, special thanks to Daynah at group reservations for helping me get everything scheduled with the menu and seating arrangements. Daynah was so helpful and responsive to my emails and requests for information. Awesome job!
