Sorry the old Minetta's tavern is gone
My wife and I recently had lunch at Minetta'sTavern.My wife and her family had lived in the village during the 70's and 80's and frequented Minetta's during those years.It is with that history in mind that I write this review. We found the menu limited and effete.We found the service pretentious and the food just fair and expensive.It was a major disappointment given our memories of the old tavern.I know things change but this change was not for the better.Save your money.New York offers you far more worthwhile choices.

Wonderful Time
My wife & I walked in on a Friday evening at 7pm without a reservation. We were seated quickly at a great table. The place was wonderful, our waitress was knoledgeable and made us feel great. The food was amazing every step of the way including presentation. We had the steak for two. They bring it out for you to see after its been cooked before they cut it. We will be back as often as possible!

Despite the hype, a shockingly poor dinner
I drank the kool-aid and wanted to believe the hype. No more. A shockingly poor meal, made even more shocking given the average price of $80 to $100 a person. The putative "revelatory" burger was no revelation. The much lauded strip steak was surprisingly tough. The frites were limp. It's sad--and unacceptable, especially at these prices and with the great hype about the restaurant--that the only items that everyone at my table were satisfied with were the desserts and one side item.

Overrated
My primary issue is with seating. After what can only be described as a challenging reservation environment, you might find yourself there waiting for hours until they bless you with a table. On the plus side, after I informed the hostess we were leaving, they opened up the champagne spigots to make it up to us. While it certainly isn't bad, it does not live up to the hype. Don't take someone there for a special occasion unless you want it ruined by their long wait crowded bar situation. I would avoid, there are a lot of trendy places in town that are more accessible.

Don't bother if you have a restricted diet
We decided to try Minetta after it reopened and rave reviews. I informed the server twice that I am allergic to dairy. She confirmed that the kitchen was aware of my restricted diet. All of us ordered the Prime Burger. After one bite, I tasted lots of butter. The server then informs me the bun is brioche. Is the kitchen clueless? So many better places to try!

I'll Stay at Balthazar
We went there finally. OK but for me it was definitely not the best steak in the city or brooklyn for that matter (ie, Peter Lugers) and others. I had the NY strip grillade. Just OK, nothing special, wife had the bass special, also just OK. Frites and spinach are better with my steak au poivre at Balthazar. Service was not the best either. The maitre "d is always the best though. Its way too crowded with low ceilings, a bit claustrophobic. Maybe I will be another NY sucker and go to the bar one night just for the haute "burger". NYers, we are a pathetic bunch when it comes to following the latest place and cuisine. I have to give Keith M. all the credit here,,,,,,the place does look great, he retained what once was. My advise: try it but dont expect the earth to move!!
