My party of 15 waited for about 30 minutes before getting seated although reservations had been made. However, once seated, those who opted for the bottomless brunch were quick to take advantage of the endless flow of Bellinis and mimosas. Service was great - very accommodating and attentive. The drinks kept coming and the food was good, with nicely-sized portions. Our party was tucked in a "nook" and so we could be a little noisier. At the same time, the waiters had to keep passing our table to go to the kitchen so there was definitely high visibility. Even though bottomless brunch usually ends at 3pm, the staff extended it by a half hour for us because of the initial wait. In total, we stayed for 2.5 hours, enjoying a leisurely meal without being pressured to leave. All in all, thanks for a great birthday brunch!

i met a friend there for a quick dinner before a show in the neighborhood, and i was so glad i picked it. we each had a 1/2 order of the middle eastern plate - i think it might have been a special - falafel, hummus, 4 little ramekins of cold salads, and a big pita - it was the best falafel i've ever had, everything was so fresh and delicious and neither of us could finish our food even though we really wanted to. ate at the bar and the place got busy but didn't get packed which was nice. it was only my first time, but very highly recommended.

so, a friend of mine lives next door to this place, and we went there for dinner one night. it was a wednesday night, and there was some action there. the manager, also the owner, showed us to a table in the middle of the banquette, and that's how our journey began. the food was quite good. we had mac & cheese, hummus, fish tacos, a hen house chicken burger, and greek salad. i was very impressed with what we got. and what's nice about this place is the friendly staff, reasonable prices, and cool "homey" decor. Great neighborhood spot! can't wait to try the Bottomless Brunch too.

So. I decided to try this place and see what some people were raving about. I can assure you it's not the food. I ordered the Panini, and Mac & Cheese. The panini was tasteless, the fries were overcooked and soggy ... and the mac and cheese isn't nearly as good as the catchy description. All and all ... will never eat here again. It's so sad ... because I had such high expectations. If they get a new chef then I'll possibly reconsider...

Cafe 50 West is a great neighborhood bar. We have been coming here since it opened and are very happy that it's getting more attentionmore people coming in and enjoying it. The service is very friendly. A few nights a week there is live music. It 's fun to go there with friends, or by ourselves, to have a few drinks, dinner, and enjoy the music.

I recently had my 30th birthday at Cafe 50 West and everything about it was excellent. The food, drinks and service were all fantastic. My friends all raved about what a great spot it is to have a party. Kevin did a wonderful job organizing everything and stayed at the bar the entire night to make sure everything went smoothly. I have also been several times for dinner and have never been disappointed. Even though I moved out of the city, I will definitely continue to come back!

I recently went to this restaurant for the bottomless Sunday brunch and I just have to say, wow. Everything was nothing short of phenomenal. The warm welcoming atmosphere and attentive friendly staff was a refreshing change of pace from the gaudy borderline pretentious establishments of the surrounding area. The service was extremely prompt the second that my drink got low, another seemed to almost magically appear by its side. While all the drinks were superb, the real star of the show was the food. I ordered the Egg’s Benedict and I can honestly say without reservations that it was the single best egg’s Benedict that I have ever tasted. All and all, Café 50 West is truly a gem of Manhattan and a must for those who appreciate excellent food, outstanding service, and a friendly atmosphere.
