Description: Located in the heart of Times Square and the Theater District, and walking distance to every Broadway show, this landmark eatery treats you like family and offers up perfect steaks, homemade mozzarella and a fabulous antipasto bar. Bond 45 feels like part of old New York, because it is. The Ziegfeld Follies played on our roof back when the building was the Hammerstein Theater. The New York Post calls Bond 45 “An Italian steakhouse reincarnation of the old Jack Dempsey’s, which already tastes like a long running hit, and Hal Rubenstein of New York Magazine says it: ”Treats [you] like family while executing home-style cooking as solid as my mom’s."

“Post Broadway Matinee - Ideal!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013 via mobile

Very friendly atmosphere and staff. A little pricey but the food (and wine ... and cocktails!) we're well worth it. Portions were huge so we really appreciated our waiter suggesting that one main could happily be shared by one child and one adult (even though both had healthy appetites) - he was proved to be entirely correct! Very enjoyable and we would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to eat without having booked.

“A pleasant surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Bond 45 was recommended by the concierge at the Plaza. We went and were so impressed with the quality of the food and the lively atmosphere. WARNING: if you order the lasagna...you better share it. It come in a thin slice on a huge platter...it is baked at such a high temp that it comes out looking like a pizza. It tastes wonderful. It is just BIG. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of fun.

“Decent and Easy Access”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

Food was solid and the restaurant is easy to get to from my office. I didn't think we had great service (they didn't have mint tea) and it took the waiter a long time just to bring me some hot water. I ordered the grilled veal chop which was good but a little fatty. Overall, a decent place to dine if you need to get some food but don't expect an exciting dining experience.

“Great food, great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013 via mobile

We were a group of 8, a mix of Brits and US. Sharing platters of antipasti to start - prosciutto, shrimp, calamari, vegetables. Main courses such as shrimp scampi (not as Brits understand scampi!), lasagne (enormous), spaghetti, and more. All delicious, fresh food, served with a smile. Pretty full, but we got a platter of 4 desserts which were plenty for us all to share from. Amazing chocolate fudge cake, big cheesecake, gorgeous profiteroles sandwiched with hazelnut ice cream, and canoli. Service great, from maitre d when booking and by staff during the meal. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the Times Square area.
