The Bar Room seems to be another local favorite watering hole / restaurant. As soon as you walk in, you notice two things: how incredibly loud the noise is from the conversations and how dim the lighting was. It’s a small place as many places...in NYC are. You work with what you have. The place is clean and looks nice. Take a moment and look at the lights in the dining room as they are classic style not seen anymore. The lighting was so dim that many people, including myself, had to turn on their phones’ flashlights to read the menu. The tables are close together to maximize space but you feel like you’re into the other diners’ conversations. My coworker and I both ordered the filet and it was perfectly cooked even though it was a thick slice (not butterflied). The banana creme brûlée was delicious. While it didn’t come with whipped cream, our server was very accommodating when I asked her for some. The dinner was delicious and the filets were pricey at $42 each but we left content and full. Kudos to our tall brunette server Denisse who was so wonderful. Thanks!More
