Bond 45

After a Carnegie Hall performance last Sat. my husband and I stopped in for a quick bite. We sat at the bar, the bartendar was pleasant and quick to take our order. We ordered drinks then placed our food order. I wanted the "Insalata Toscana" which listed fava beans as one of the main ingredients. The salad arrives, not ONE fava bean in sight, the rest of the salad consisted of a transparent 2x2 inch piece of pecorino cheese, two slices of prosciutto and chopped walnuts and chopped romaine. Sorry but for $8.95 I want fava beans! If a restaurant runs out of an item, take if off the menu or let the client know they're not getting what they ordered. My husband had the small ravioli portion, (3 ravioli) I'd say that's small but not a small price tag to go with it.

This place was a great surprise....I expected the worst considering the location, but really a great dining experience.

I was soooo looking forward to this meal. Went with some friends to celebrate my birthday. The hot new place in the theatre district to eat, and I just love Red Eye Grill and their other restaurants. Well, this place did not live up to it's hype and could definitely use some improvements. First, even though we were seated in the back, it was very noisy. Second, the service was poor. We arrived early for our 6PM reservation and because of mix-ups, delays and errors we barely made our curtain. My friends had ordered a cake, but we didn't even have time for coffee. Two dishes had to be sent back because they were undercooked (pink chicken), and one of the dishes was not prepared the way it was described on the menu. But because it was served so late, there was no time to change it, and our waiter was not happy about even having to look into it. All of the servers seemed very confused. For the price, I expected alot better.

I recently visited the restaurant for the first time for my birthday on the recommendation of a close friend. I could not have been treated better. My server JD was outgoing and tons of fun. And the surprise at the end of the meal made it a meal to remember. I have already taken it upon myself to recommend this restaurant to my clients and felt inspired to recommend it to you as well! Try them out and you won?t be disappointed.

New York has needed a place like Bond 45 for many years. But it looks like its been open for decades. Excellent food, and atmosphere. A real happening right down the street from the Crossroads of the World.

The food was okay, the service was pretty poor (my girlfriend and I ordered three dishes to share; only two ever came) and the place is just too darn big! You are just a number to them. No personalized service at all. And the prices are too high. There are better places out there?

Bustling, hectic, huge theater district restaurant. If you want to be in a huge scene, don't care about food quality, value or service, this is your place. They need to get their act together but obviously the restaurant has great appeal to tourists attending theater. The waiter placed a wrong order. He offered additional appetizer (overpriced small antipasto vegie plate of his choosing not our request) then charged for what should have been complimentary appeasement for he error. The busboys couldn't communicate or understand and in attempts of good service (or trying to rush us out?) kept taking away unused utensils and bread while we waited for food. The manager tried to make up at the end (too late) but probably only because we were seated next to where he was stationed and we clearly had a problem with the waiter and our bill. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing in the bustling joint. Seems there is only one thing to order that is really worthwhile and a good value. Would never go back but this restaurant will obviously succeed in the theater district.
