BELL BOOK & CANDLE, New York City

My husband and I came here for a special Christmas dinner and were sorely disappointed. The waitress was extremely rude and condescending and would disappear for long 30 minute stretches at a time. My appetizer was forgotten and my main dish came out wrong and...there was no apology, however when the bill came we saw they tried to double charge us for my main dish. Will definitely NOT be coming back here and will make sure our family and fiends know what a horrible experience we had.More

The best of the West Village

This spot is a hidden gem. The vibe is quaint and low key and the service is amazing. We ordered the duck and the burger and both were amazing. The wine selection was incredible. Definitely recommend this spot for dinner and drinks to experience the...West Village.More

Just OK

I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and good vibe when we walked in, but with a party of 6 we were seated away from the nice part and at the farthest table back by the kitchen. The staff moved us closer in at my...request and gave us a free round of drinks when we discovered a bug on the table. The food was adequate, but nothing memorable.More

Four star cocktails

The room is comfortable and the service is good. The cocktails are creative and tasty. The food is alright. The only plate that we had that might make me want to return was the jalapeño deviled eggs.

Don’t believe it!

We are visiting NYC and read about the happy hour here with $1 oysters so were we’re excited. Walked a mile and a half, made it there 15 minutes after happy hour started an NO WHERE to sit in this TINY bar. We asked if...we could sit in the EMPTY dining room but we’re told that was against policy and happy hour was only offered at the bar. Again, 20 seats max by my estimate. We left. Hungry. Gave our money to another place.More

Gourmets delight

Dined here on a recent trip with friends to New York. What an unexpected pleasure to find good food, excellent service and portions that do not make you feel full before you even eat. Cob salad is excellent as was the speciality pie. We will...be back to enjoy your menu again.More

Apps: Crispy Oysters Tuna tartar Lobster tacos Crispy Pork Salad Entree: Short ribs Everything about our meal...was perfect. Brenda helped guide us through the menu and recommended a few things. She was very knowledgable and sweet! I highly recommend coming here and trying the items I did because they were awesome! I'll def be back!More

What's not to like?!

We walked in at about 6pm and got seated right away. There was a happy hour special going on at the bar, but we opted for a table instead. We started with oysters and lobster spring rolls - off to a great start. Then, we...had the ribs and the chicken - great mains. Then, we ended it off with the the ice cream sandwiches to share - also great! I wish I had more room in my belly because there were a few more items on the menu that I was eyeing!More

West Village

Stretching from Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River, the
West Village is one of the city’s most coveted

Without the traditional city grid layout, it’s easy to
