Review of Gilt Bar

I love everything about Gilt Bar, and it's my go-t...

I love everything about Gilt Bar, and it's my go-to place for any special event, whether it's a birthday or a date night out. When I say I love everything, I literally mean everything--the food and drinks, impeccable service and ambiance, and the fact that they have a speakeasy and photo booth downstairs.

There's something for everyone on the menu here. But, I've been here several times and I ALWAYS get the truffle pasta. The bucatini is perfectly al dente, and the truffle flavor is so strong. Other dishes I've really enjoyed are the pappardelle, gnocchi, the giant meatball, brussel sprouts, and any dessert that comes with ice cream. They have the smoothest ice cream ever. If you get the single scoop ice cream, it actually comes with two scoops! The drinks here are great as well. I tend to like sweeter drinks more and have gotten the Airmail a couple of times as well as the Bee's Knees and Lillet Rose. Their negronis are great too.

The people here are always so attentive and accommodating, and the decor is beautiful.

Tip--even if you don't have a reservation for the Library speakeasy below the restaurant, you can ask the hostess about doing dessert and drinks there. They are usually super accommodating about it, and will schedule it in for you after dinner.
