The Library At The Public - New York

I was very excited about this place. Very cool vibe. Sadly, the service was very, very slow and the vegetarian options were incredibly tasteless and bland. Dropped $85 and left hungry and dissatisfied. Super disappointed! Definitely wouldn't return.

Not bad for Members of the Public, who get a 20% discount. Otherwise, it is expensive. Roast Chicken dish was steaming hot tasty. The Tagliatelle was lukewarm but flavorful. It took a long time to place the order and receive our meals. Pre-theater the place is packed. Make a reservation!

Excellent establishment. Not inexpensive (eg, $18 cocktails) but very high quality drinks, food and service. Moroccan chicken was excellent. And obviously super convenient to see a show.

Favorite spot for a cocktail on a weeknight. Be sure to go after the evening's show has started for an uncrowded bar. Inventive cocktail list with some steady classics too.

Decided to have a drink at their bar after the Public show last Saturday night. Ordered a glass of wine and when it came the glass was filthy, with chucks of something on the inside of the glass. Told the bartender and she said, no problem, as she took another glass and poured that same wine with the chucks into another glass and gave it back to me. We were so shocked we couldn 't believe it. Definitely stay away, too many wonderful places in the neighborhood where service is important to them!
