The Breslin bar and restaurant Reviews

Very hip spot with a cool atmosphere but menu is super meat-heavy. Not ideal for the pescetarian. However, the grilled cheese was sinfully delicious.

I stopped for lunch at this place because it was convenient compared to my trip, and because it had good reviews, but I was not particularly happy: very dark pub atmosphere with very little light, just decent food, with some very negative things ( Caesar Salad is served with grated Parmesan cheese ... just to give an example). I would not recommend it.

Lamb burger, thrice cook chips and cheese sandwich (with ham) are all excellent, but the service can be hit or miss. Prices are a bit expensive, but portions are big.

Very nice burger.
Definitely worth the taste and the place is really good. It's fun to sit there with friends.

Great atmosphere wonderful location good drinks food was good but definitely not worth the price and service was satisfactory.

Fun atmosphere, decent service and the food was above average....except for the breakfast potatoes, I wasn't a fan

Romantic, mysterious, lamb bacon and the next door library lobby, bar, and bathroom are a must see.

Charged a $60 administration fee to make a reservation. Which I realised when paying. Felt like a complete scam. Room was nicely laid out, food was ok, dessert poor. Service good.

Would never go back or recommend.

Great atmosphere, unique and tasty menu, friendly staff and amazing food. Good for lounging with friends or a business appointment as well.

A great lunch getaway. Veggie options with bold flavours are available -- which is rare. Loved the ciders.

I went here for my 30th birthday dinner and we had a group of 10 people for the suckling pig dinner. I have to say that it was outrageously good. The idea of a whole animal on the table just elevates the meal a few notches not only in presentation but makes it fun as well. If you are adventurous you may try the parts of the pig head such as tongue, cheeks, eye balls, and brain. I tried them all and there was nothing strange tasting about it. You just have to get over the fact that it is not a traditional piece of meat. My only complaint is that our table was not ready for us for about a half an hour past our reservation time. Ill be back for their famous scotch egg and lamb burger

Great experience. Bar tender omi was attentive. Loved the bloody Mary. Great Turkey burger. I will revisit.

Visited on a jampacked weekday afternoon. Surprisingly, the noise level was tolerable. My friend and I found seats at the bar, which was awfully dark. Drinks are okay and prices are reasonable.

Only standard quality of food, nothing more, badly served. I red they got 1 Michelin Star, I think it was a fake, it must be a fake, I need to check deeper.

a classic new york tourist attraction/trap, the food selection leaves lots to be desired, the prices are just ridicules, I'd recommend you go there if there is no other choice.

It is my favorite place to go after dinner, specially on thursdays evening. I love the menu and I have tested most of it, also the chef somethings offer things that are out of the menu which makes you feel at home. Delicious burgers of lamb and the blood sausage is supreme! Everybody goes back after their first time.

The lamb burger was just as good as I remember. The meat was tender, juciy, and done to perfection. The bun was crispy/crunchy to give a bit of a texture, but soft on the inside to soak up all the juices flowing from the meat. The thin sliced feta was a perfect compliment to the beautifully cooked meat. And let's not forget the delicious Cesar salad with layer after layer of perfectly and carefully selected iceberg lettuce, Cesar dressing, cheese, chunky croutons, and delicious anchovies. Definitely recommend.

Great vibes and friendly staff. We visited for a private event located in a loft above the bar and dining room. Food was delicious and atmosphere very cool, loved everything

The lamb burger needs to be eaten. It has the most amazing burger bun. They should start selling them. The patty is good but lacks flavor. The funny thing and which gives the burger the taste is the goat cheese.

Gastropub connected to the Ace Hotel, bar in the front, restaurant in the back. The bar serves 8 specialty cocktails and food late into the night. Nice ambiance to take out-of-town friends for after hours drinks. Also offers a unique experience with the Chef's Table group meal, which includes a whole roasted suckling pig that is broken down in front of you. If you choose to, you can eat the snout, ears, cheeks, eyeballs and brains! The meat is tender, salted well, and juicy. The entire meal, including sides, is plenty for about 8 people. You must make reservations for this meal.

Best burger in town! Get the lamb medium well burger and you'll want to come back, be ready to spend $120 per two persons with drinks and appetizers but totally worth it!

Good place for early breakfasts. Nice atmosphere, good food and coffee and quick service at affordable price.

The lamb burger is awesome and I used to love the bar curry snack mix (but they didn t offer it last time I was there). Overall the food and scene is great. The hotel is a hipster paradise.

Great drinks and a fun vibe. It gets pretty busy after work, so be patient.

Super cute place. The lamb burger is a must try (don't worry. Medium rare is perfect. Not gammy at all. Just juicy and tasty!!) Bloody Mary & Maria are so so. A little pricy.

This has to be one of the most wonderful places! I couldn't give a single argument against anything.

If you are looking for a warm and cozy environment with prestige service and taste then you have found the right place!

The lamb burger is especially good, they have many beers ... Ideal for the wannabe hipster

Last night friends and I had dinner. We asked a server to split the bill. She gave us separate bill with half the billing amount which was perfect.

However suggested gratitude at bottom of that bill was not half the amount. We took that gratitude $$$ as it was. So we added you 36% gratitude!!!

When you split the bill you keep the original gratitude. Very confusing, deceiving and totally unhappy about it. Hey Breslin, that is not a nice practice :-(

Nice place to get the traditional old British mixed spirits. The problem is nothing separates The Breslin from other traditional pubs and restaurants.

Lamb burger with the juiciest meat you can imagine (medium/rare); the right amount of toppings; great tasting bread and a smooth pinot noir on glass = winner! Great staff and service and good value for money. Highly recommended!

Good food and good service! I highly suggest the meatball and any pizza. Here's a tip...order the pizza with thin crust. The taste is out of this wine country world! Good is amazing! Go with an empty stomach.

We were their in the afternoon, food and drinks were good, 1st bartender we had awesome. He got off and the night one wasn't great at all we left cause of her. It was like she was annoyed we were even there to bad cause the place was fun until then.

This place was off the charts spectacular. We walked in not knowing anything about the menu and just started trying things. It was an awesome experience. Scotch egg, potato and taleggio toast, walleye with stinging nettles and snails...you ve got to be kidding. We literally licked the plate. All that and a bottle of Anthill Pinot Noir. Nick the sommelier...very knowledgeable. Fantastic time...don t pass this place up!

Great pub attached to the Ace hotel. They have a great selection of wine, cocktails and beer. The food is also good, as our large group sampled several items from the menu, which ranged from fresh shucked oysters to traditional pub fare. There is a fair amount of seating and the place is often crowded, given the location and connection to the hotel.

Lamb burger is reallly good
Crowded place, volume is surprisingly bearable

Place was cool, even though we saw many people looking like they were working on a Saturday night on their laptops. We had the grilled cheese, the mushroom sanduich and the smores desert ( insane ) along with some great drinks! Will def come back

Great food. Gets a bit busy so a bit of patience is needed for waitstaff.

Long waiting time nearly 1h 30min
The steak button like 10 $ but cost 150 $
So the user food is to expensively for there taste

Too long waiting times 1: 30h
Food far too overpriced for the taste.
It tastes better at the Pommesbude
For example: chicken for $ 33 delicious at the Pommesbude and a lot cheaper, fish salmon and not all bones were removed, fries fries ...
Restaurant undercooled and way too dark.
Shop is not recommended

My god ladies and gentlemen! The Breslin is absolutely spectacular and is worth every last penny. Thanks to our great waitress Selena, we were able to go through a large part of the menu. Make sure you hit up the buttery potatoes, seafood sausage and lamb burger, just simply amazing. The drinks menu is also purposely fitted to the food and we had a range of paired craft beers that sat really well with the food. Great spot!

Lamb burger is worth every penny. Great spot to splurge for lunch once in a while

The decor was nothing special, but when you sit at the chef's table, you aren't there for the decor. It's all about the full suckling pic, served up with a few sides, lots of drinks, and topped off with the eyeballs, brains, snout, etc. The pork was so juicy, and the skin so unbelievably crispy. It was the most sinful meal I have had all year. GO!

The Breslin is a nyc metropolitan pub. The setup is traditional and antique. The fare is well made and inventive. You may not be able to order a simple hamburger but the lamb burger will not disappoint.

Good spot for breakfast food - their eggs are great and filling! The ambiance is a bit too dark, especially when it s a nice and sunny day outside, but barring that it was a lovely meal.

Not big on Lamb but I really like their Lamb Burgers. Delicious!

Tasty sandwiches. Very costly and long wait at the table. Not much choices for vegetarians/Vegans.

Popped in for breakfast early on Sunday morning. Dark, crazy good poached eggs with lentils and good coffee.

Very disappointed that the menus on the website are not current. Diner beware!!

Really enjoyed it here, there's a really hip crowd here and as long as you're okay with that it's a great spot. Had a lamb burger and it was delicious

Located inside the Ace Hotel the ambiance and food is perfect for a quick bite solo, with friends or on a date. There is a great upstairs area which feels more cozy than downstairs. The Lamb burger is definitely one of the best things to try and you won't be disappointed.

There aren't many Michelin starred restaurants that do breakfast, but The Breslin does - highly recommend their steak & eggs.

Great spot, cool atmosphere. Had the Brunch menu & decided to try the lamb burger w/ fries. Amazingly good. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful food, friendly staff - recommend Chili toast and Scotch eggs.

Stumbled across this place on google after searching for 'best breakfasts in New York'. I can say that after a week in the big apple, this was far from it! Ordered the full english breakfast which is served without toast so had to order this seperately upon receiving my meal. Waited around 20 minutes for two slices of toast by which time my meal was finished. Staff did not know what brown sauce was and didnt even bother coming back to the table to acknowledge my request for it. Only thing that was done quickly was presenting the bill but had to wait another 10 minutes to receive the change. Food was average but well over priced.

Two words: lamb burger. The only issue with the breslin is that there is nothing diet friendly about it. Otherwise it's great.

My NYC go to if I'm not in SoHo for Fanelli's Cafe. So, if you like Fanelli's you'll like this place.

The lamb burger is literally to die for and the drinks are delicious! This is a must stop place to try. Love it!!!

This is a great find in New York. For the Breslin experience, try the Curry lentils with poached eggs for breakfast. If you're there in the evening, try the lamb burger and their Scottish egg. The cocktails are also excellent.

The breakfast was great, at least in terms of food. The braised kale & lamb bacon were both really nice. The coffee was really well balanced and perfect for my taste. The waitstaff in general were friendly and attentive. The space was a bit cramped and tables were too close together, I just found one particular staff very inconsiderate while cleaning a table next he sprayed detergent over to my table and it totally ruined my meal.

Good food for British fare, but when staying at the hotel would be nice if they also had some standard American breakfast or brunch cuisine. The brunch I had of poached eggs with curry lentils was really good, and came out very fast. The service was very professional and nice too.

Good coffee. Other members of the party said the food was great.

excellent bloody mary's served by people so cool i feel older than my 29 years. food is excellent and draws you in to ordering far too much (which you then eat to bursting point). service can be slow with wait staff running around like headless chickens, making people wait for a table when plenty are empty...and there's a no reservation policy. can someone let the staff know?

I used to love their lamb burgers, but the last time I visited they took a very long time to come and were just very raw (I like medium rare, but this was really just rare).

Jess taking parents there for brunch. Same owner as spotted pig.

So the food and drinks were amazing . Great atmosphere for bar or sit down meals. One down side if sit outside of the bar counter the service in the bar area is subpar. Still suggest to go here due to quality of the food.

The lamb burger and fries is the single greatest meal I have had at any restaurant anywhere in the US. MUST TRY!

Truly one of the best lamb burgers in town. They make it to your liking and the service is outstanding. The fries are so yummy they're addictive. Tomorrow back to no carbs but today I eat carbs!

Nice place. Great massive scotch egg!!!
Liver parfait was tasty...more toast though

Takes a very long time to order and to get food, the wait staff is not attentive and have forgotten my order and took an hour for a burger and a skirt steak, truly overrated, the lamb burger wasn't that great, the steak a little on a hard to chew side and the the condiments were scarse not to mention the eggs were too salty to say the least. We will never come back: stay away

Food was good but a little overated. I'll take Shake Shack over the lamb burger any day. Service and ambience were top notch though (as Hipster as an Ace Hotel can get)

We wanted a table, but they said unless everyone orders a main dish (7 ppl in group) we can't do it. I thought that was a stupid rule and sounds made up, but whatever... ate at the bar instead.

The bar menu is all over the place, i didnt remember most of it. Ordered the lamb burger. It was really simple, only cheese and onions in a brioche bun. It was great, very tasty!

Not my favorite Bloomfield restaurant, but great food nonetheless. The SCOTCH EGG is something special.

Very gamey menu, but Great lamb burger. Fun to have a drink at the Ace while you're waiting for a table.

Great food,great service and beautiful decor,I am definitely coming back .
