    My boyfriend and I had such an amazing experience at Fine&Rare. The staff were really welcoming and helpful when describing the items on the menu. I had requested a table with a great view for my boyfriends birthday and we were not disappointed. We had a great view of the stage, the band was also incredible! The steak and sea bass were amazing, and the cocktails were to die for. The steak was so filling so we were too full for dessert but the staff made it extra special and delivered a small cupcake and macaroons with a candle. You must dine here for a true NYC experience. We cannot wait to go back!

    Everything was great! The food, the live music, the drinks, the service and more. Had a wonderful time here with my girlfriend. It's probably one of the best places in NY for a romantic date night. I wish we had a place like this in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you for everything!

    Upscale restaurant with a great live stage in the middle for jazz performers. This place is one you’ll remember by the professional yet comfortable atmosphere. Went here during the 2023 NYC restaurant week and did their select 3 courses and drink pairing. Overall was a great experience and would suggest this as a good place for celebrating something fancy. The food was unique, nothing earth shattering delicious but consistent and good. The drinks definitely come with presentation and are quite delicious as well. They offer a massive amount of liquors, mainly whiskey, but a lot of unique items you may have difficulty finding other places or even by yourself. Come here for an experience and enjoy the live music. Keep an eye on how much you order though as the prices do get pretty heavy.

    The Flatiron Room is hands down 5 Stars across the board. The vibe is jazzy NYC cabaret, with decor and attention to detail to match. This was my second time and it did not disappoint. For a special evening out with family & friends, first date, date night or special occasion…THIS is the spot. The service is spot on, warm hospitality from the host team and servers that will not steer you wrong. Food was absolutely delicious and the craft cocktails……let’s just say I wish I could’ve tried them all. If you like whiskey, you will not find such an extensive, in depth array and vast selection. Check out the headliner entertainment when you go. And if you want outdoor seating, the private rooms are finely appointed. A star in Murray Hill!

    Came in on a Friday to celebrate a belated birthday. There was plenty of street parking in the evening, my table was readily available and the hostesses was warm & friendly. I ordered a beet salad and scallop entree with a glass of rose. For dessert I had the Flat Iron Room Sphere which was amazing and delicious. Dessert was my favorite along with live music. . Highly recommend coming here for a date or night out.

    Great experience! Food was great service was fantastic, really good. The music us also a nice touch, a little too loud for my liking but I am sensitive so it will probably be fine for most people. Incredible whiskey selection alongside other alcohols. I do recommend this place if you are in the area and want to have a special meal with someone. Unfortunately they do not have hot chocolates, but that's a minor detail.

    Came here for the restaurant week menu and jazz music. The Music was amazing and the place is beautiful for pics. The host was amazing and friendly.The food was also good. However our server was trash. He rushed us to decide on items, tried to pressure us to buy things off of the regular menu. He had an unpleasant demeanor and never checked on us. We also had to wait forever for a water refill. I wouldn’t return because of his poor service. We are paying customers regardless of the menu we order from. Perhaps y’all shouldn’t participate in restaurant week if you will discriminate.

    Very warm welcome from the moment I stepped in this place. Was meeting a friend who had reservations. The drinks are made beautifully! The food arrived and was cooked perfectly as I asked for, which was well done. I enjoyed my meal down to the last bite! The barrel aged coffee topped off dinner and was just as good as the main course! Excellent place overall with awesome service!

    Was able to make a reservation a few days prior for a weekend date night. They had live music playing early. The sevice was fantastic. I really enjoyed our waitress. The band was lively and really set the mood. The good was fantastic and the drinks were even better. Everything was smooth and lovely. The host was charming and friendly. Service was prompt. Would absolutely come back. And absolutely recommend. Made this a stand out night.

    fun This is a great place if you love live Blues and love to drink hard booze. The band on Friday nights is awesome. Tables are close to the stage but it is not too loud. They offer 700 booze lockers so you can buy a bottle and store it there if you do not finish it. Each locker can hold up to 10 bottles or more. The food is great in some parts of the menu but could be a bit better in other parts. The cheese board, meat board or combo board were fantastic. Drinkers will love this too. We had the combo board (photo attached) and it was spectacular. The crab cake app was also great. It is fried but very good and comes with some nice sides on the plate as well. Very good. We split the tomahawk steak. I've had better but this was fine. I would probably opt for something else next time. It did include 2 sides for free. She got the mashed potatoes which she loved. I got the fries and they were limp. I prefer the thinner firmer fries so not my cup of tea. The deserts were marvelous. All in all a great evening and so much fun to go to a place with live music. If you have 4 or more be sure to reserve one of the HUGE booths up high in the back. They have a great view of the stage and make a great place for a group to all eat together and all have a perfect view of the stage because it is a semi circle booth. 5 star experience for sure.

    Upscale restaurant for a lovely jazz dinner. The food was 8/10, nothing out this world but consistent and good. The drinks definitely come with presentation and are amazing. Come here for an amazing experience food and live music. -I’d recommend the Mac and cheese to start it was a. 10/10

    Fantastic atmosphere in this restaurant! They have a huge array of drinks available if you just want a drink, or a fabulous, small menu (fresh food) to choose from. The staff are wonderful and very attentive! There were a few jazz artists playing which gave the place a great ambience when we were there. The saxophonist also played Happy Birthday to me, how wonderful is that! I hope the pictures speak for themselves but the food was delicious as well! Highly recommended!

    Good food. Really small portions more like tapas. I ordered the octopus, raviolis and cheese, and cold cuts board. Good variety of licor, and we really enjoyed the live music.

    I truly enjoyed my stay here , Starting with a nice positive welcome from the host. He sat me in front of the Band, which was great but I had decided to ask him to move me some where else because I didn’t like that space. ( to squashed together), he sat me in a very comfortable space in-front of the fire place after and there I was able to enjoy the show and still be able and have a conversation. My server Greg was amazing, he knew his menu and what to recommend since my husband has a nut allergy. The workers were Super accommodating and Kind, I recommend dining at this venue…. Reservation definitely advised.

    Excellent professional servers that work as a well coordinated team to bring and remove items. Wonderfully prepared and presented food. Creative, appealing cocktails. Wish I lived in NY so we could go more often.

    Celebrating my husband’s new position with friends here. We made reservations the night before, and they do have you put down a credit card and charge $25 per person for cancel or no show. All our friends made it here on time. We were seated right in front of the stage, and the dinner was lovely. The staff were friendly and professional. The menu said their food was for sharing - not sure about that because we finished everything at no time and kept ordering more and more. Best of tonight - the octopus. We had tried this dish in French and Greek restaurants, and here we found the best. So tender, char, but not rubbery at all. I love the salad on the side. We ordered the most expensive steak on the menu for medium rare. The piece we got was a little too fatty for me, but my husband loved the charred fat. Truffle fries and asparagus are really good, but we expected a little bigger portion - more veggies please. Now, for dessert. I saw the videos online, and finally get to try the signature “Flatiron room sphere.” Warm and chill, sweet and sour, it’s life! Then, we couldn’t help but ordered the chocolate cake. It’s like the opera cake. The shine is beautiful. And the layers. OMG. Almost forgot to mention the drink - they are serious about drinks. Look at their drink menu. My husband ordered “smoking old fashion.” It was bourbon and smoked with cherry wood. The artists for tonight were great. They picked classic songs and gently interacted with audiences with music. The whole night, we did not feel rushed at all. From 7pm to 10pm, time just flew. We all had such a good time. Worth every penny we spent. Strongly recommend!!!

    We absolutely loved The Flatiron Room! We arrived very early for our reservation and they were so kind to let us in and have drinks at the bar. Since we were so early, they seated us inside by the stage. The atmosphere is lovely, nice ambiance, it's like stepping back in time, in the best way. Our food was SO delicious. I commented with each bite, so did my husband. We had the house ravioli and the beef Short Rib. Both were incredible. The drinks from the bar were well curated, and delightful.

    This is such a nice jazz bar in midtown, like the name it says it’s fine and rare to find in the city. It’s very New York style with jazz live music everyday and you don’t have to buy ticket to get in. We came in for a drink only so we sat on the bar you do not need a reservation for that, but if you prefer to dine in reservation is highly recommended. There are massive selection of whisky and some craft cocktails not just whisky cocktails. I ordered couple of the cocktails from the menu they are all really good. But if you have any particular whisky you want, you probably can find it here. The bar seats are first come first serve, but they also have some stools around the whole area you can sit as well. The drinks are little pricy but the place is very classic and good vibe. The jazz performance is excellent. Not too loud so you can still hear each other talk.

    Very nice restaurant. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Great live music. Very romantic. Had a late reservation, so I came here for a very light dinner & a drink. Espresso martini was delicious. Came with chocolate that was very yummy. The food was delicious. Loved the burrata. The ravioli was nice, but not my favorite. Service wasn't the best. Asked if we could sit with a better view of the musicians, but they said it was for "investors." While there was no one else who showed up after us... our waiter was very stingy and short with answering questions. He had no patience. I didn't appreciate that at all. Overall, I do recommend it. Staff should be more accommodating to their clients, though.

    What a wonderful evening at Fine and Rare!! From the service to the music the ambiance was everything I'd hoped for. Add in the delicious food and creative cocktails abs this night beat all my expectations. I'd recommend a reservation on the early side ensure you get a seat with a good view of the stage.

    We went to Fine and Rare for NYE and couldn’t have been more happy with our choice of dinner + entertainment. The band was WONDERFUL. Super chill and happy vibes, great music, good food and drinks, and the environment was just so lovely. I read the reviews and heard it was noisy there, but that was not our experience. The noise level was perfectly fine. We loved it so much, we’re planning to visit their other restaurant The Flatiron Room.

  • 4/5 Vivian T. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice place for dinner, cocktail, while enjoy live jazz. Recommend for dates and small groups. You can get better food at other restaurants, bigger name jazz musicians at jazz clubs, and more spot on cocktails from speakeasies. But Fine & Rare managed to get all these and did a decent job. My personal experience: cocktail was spot on, presentation could be better; steak was slightly over cooked, not bad enough that request to be send back. But bothered me enough to complain. The table setup is for diners, so some of the diners will have the seats that’s back to the stage instead of facing.

    Always 100% with food, service, atmosphere. We love jazz, we have had the same waiter for the 9 years we've been going I believe, it's incredible. Use to be called fine and rare, but merged during Covid. So lucky that some of our favorite people stayed and the menu is still on point. 10/10 always guys- you are the best.

  • 5/5 Jess A. 1 month ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    The ambience is perfect! Waiters are friendly and try to ensure that everything is going smoothly. It felt very intimate. I got their ravioli and Take me to Tulum cocktail and all was delicious. Will return.

  • 5/5 Hannah G. 6 months ago on Google
    Bravo! This place is a gem. It makes for a very classy date night. We will definitely be returning when back in town. It’s beautiful. Amazing food and drinks. The live music was very classy.

  • 4/5 Jean Philippe G. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place with amazing entertainment. The night we went in, the small band was just incredible. The fairly small space looks like an amazing speakeasy. Unfortunately, the food was just okay - nothing wrong with it, just okay. I would go back for the entertainment and great drink list.

  • 5/5 Hanna 4 months ago on Google
    Extremely friendly, quick service. Best food we’ve head so far in nyc - would especially recommend the grilled octopus , clamps and ribs. Live music. Reservations required - no spaces left and fully booked out for the evening.

  • 5/5 Linda 4 months ago on Google
    Spending a wonderful jazz dinner night here with my daughter, what a wonderful combination of great foods and jazz music! We ended up staying more than 2 hours, though the menu was small but the presentation of each course had dazzling “wow” effects. Would love to come back again!

  • 5/5 Arbenita I. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Overall beautiful place! The atmosphere is so enjoyable with the live music. The food was top notch everything was perfect! My personal favourite was the mac and cheese. The sphere dessert is a must as well!!! In addition to this, the customer service was impeccable. Definitely will be returning!

  • 5/5 Kassandra F. 9 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere was perfection. The service was exemplary. The drinks were extremely flavorful. These were all bonuses -- the music was the draw.

  • 5/5 Matthew D. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance is very enjoyable. The live music was great. We ordered the porterhouse and the tomahawk which were delicious. I also recommend the mashed potatoes and the bacon. I drank a moscow mule which went down smooth. I took a sip of the smokey old fashioned, it was alright. The service was excellent.

  • 5/5 Steven P. 8 months ago on Google
    A restaurant and music lounge that is both upscale and friendly on the wallet. After an eventful week, myself and a college came here to unwind after all the stress and emotion that hit that week, and we were not disappointed. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and treated like an old friend. Brought directly to your table and immediately poured waters by the backwaiter. The staff gives you enough time to sit down, relax and take in the live music performance before coming over, Something that I really find to be a nice touch instead if bombarding you the moment you take your seat. The ambiance is very modern but yet feels very out of time. You can almost picture this place being around in the 1930s and not feeling out of place. Tables are very well maintained, and some even have very interesting sayings on them, ours, with a quote about sharing a drink as opposed to drinking alone. My friend kept it simple with a bacardi and coke for her beverage while I went for a simple sidecar. Both drinks were poured to perfection. The coke wasn't flat or offbrand like many other places, and the sidecar has just the perfect amount of sugar on the rim. Our server Romina (I hope I got that right) was beyond exceptional and really was not hovering or overbearing. Much credit to her for also letting me order the 28 chocolate layer cake on the sly! For food, we had done a bit of a family style ordering and kept it simple with a shrimp cocktail that consisted of the freshest shrimp I have ever had in NYC, from a place that does not specialize in seafood. We also ordered the skirt steak, which was bursting full of flavor and is cooked to perfection (seriously seeing a perfect medium rare is a thing of beauty). For dessert, as I said, we had ordered the 28 Layer Chocolate Cake, and it was magnificent. I mean, with 28 layers of chocolate, how could it not be? Overall, The Flatiron Room, is an institution on class, fine dining, entertainment, and ambiance. Will definitely be coming back.

  • 4/5 Christopher A. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful venue with great jazz artists that play live every night. Cocktails were good and food was yummy, but our entrees came out room temperature and cold. The desserts were really delicious and creative. Waiters basically ignored us the entire night while the place wasn't packed and there were a bunch of staff. Felt like our food was sitting because the waiters forgot to bring it. Took over ten minutes for them to ask for drinks and another 20 to ask for apps and entrees. Apps and dessert came fast, but entrees took forever and came out at room temperature. Really fun experience and it was so close to being a 10/10, but the non existent service and cold food really brings it down.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 2 years ago on Google
    A++. Incredible atmosphere! Delicious food! We had the chicken and ravioli. And a manhattan and wine. Really impressed. Live music too! A*+++!!!!

  • 5/5 Lance S. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I had a wonderful dinner here tonight. Great food and service. I had the scallops, which were done to perfection, my wife had the Red Snapper, and my daughter had the Sea Bass. All was fresh, prepared well, and very flavorful. The live band’s jazz music time warped us to the 1920s making the atmosphere feel like a speakeasy. So much fun.

  • 5/5 Jason H. 1 year ago on Google
    The live music was fantastic. We arrived early and sat at the bar with great cocktails. Dinner was incredible. The staff was excellent, as well. We'll be visiting again.

  • 4/5 Brii Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The ambiance is perfect for a date night!!! My husband and I came here, opted to sit at the bar instead of our reserved outdoor seating because the live music inside is not played on a speaker outdoors (pretty disappointing considering their whole esthetic is the live jazz aspect), but of course that won’t stop a good night! Since they had no walk-in availability we waited a short time for two seats to open at the bar and the night started! As far as the food, I’d highly recommend ordering both types of raw oysters, trying any of their extensive list of cocktails or whiskeys and enjoy the moment! Entrees weren’t mind blowing. After we ordered oysters, crab meat cocktail, steelhead tartare, the Chilean sea bass, The porterhouse steak, three sides, AND two desserts; we both agreed we could’ve stuck to the liquor and the oysters. Overall a beautiful night with absolutely GREAT service, but as foodies we weren’t 100% sold. I’d still recommend if you’ve never been. It’s different and that’s what makes it nice! Go try for yourself!

  • 5/5 Krystle H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great evening at this restaurant. The staff was kind and friendly and offered me water while I waited for the rest of my party. We had a "Roaring 20's" theme for 9 people. By the way, coat check is complementary so remember to leave a nice tip. We were all seated promptly, offered drinks, and informed about what was available from the menu. Our server was amazing and very accommodating. The food was AMAZING. We ordered family style to share and try a few of the dishes in the menu. So damn good! 🙌 They also cleaned our table and gave us fresh silverware after our starters. I was so busy taking in the experience of the food and the live band and the great music between their breaks, that I forgot to take photos of all the food. I did get one of the Tomahawk Steak which was cooked perfectly, absolutely delicious. Just believe me when I say this place will make you feel like a king or queen of New York.

  • 5/5 Maxim S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fine and Rare is a phenomenal establishment. They serve excellent food and delicious cocktails. The atmosphere and decor are superb. Finally, the live jazz is a wonderful treat for the ears. Overall, I'll be back.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're looking for the perfect dinner date, or just a few drinks with live music, Fine & Rare offers great craft cocktails, a wide array of high quality spirits, and a delicious, well conceived menu wrapped in a sophisticated atmosphere that makes you feel like a private member. Highly recommended for a quality, low key night in midtown.

  • 5/5 Benswing Rich (Ben Rich - Electric B. 2 years ago on Google
    Superior whiskey bar with fine dining and excellent service. Fantastic place for a special occasion or to show off your whiskey knowledge to business associates. Had the luxury tasting and it was fantastic! The trout was delicious in an incredible butter sauce, and the crab sandwich was fabulous with truffle fries. Had the Fine and Rare sphere for dessert and it was fantastic!

    Sat on the couch bec.we were there after dinner. We had a really good waiter. Had a second dinner and it was great. Get the strip steak. Perfectly medium rare with traditional sides which were also quite good. The cocktails were excellent! Go there.

  • 5/5 Denishia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing restaurant to go to. The quality, ambiance and the customer service was definitely well worth the visit. There was also a live band performing but they actually have a live band every evening for those of you who may not know. Everything was professional and they took time in detailing things from the menu that you did not understand. The food was also very amazing!! We will be back soon. Also if you buy a bottle, they will save it for you the next time you come back. Thank you Fine & Rare for giving us such an amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Matt P. 2 years ago on Google
    The steak was amazing! Great food and ambiance. Had a great spot for listening to the jazz. Would love to go back!
