Reviews for Festival Cafe in New York, NY
Popped in for the espresso martini fest and our drinks were incredible! The space is beautiful and full of floral decor. They... also have really great deals throughout the week and live music Thursdays! Read more
Well deserved 5 star! Went here on a cold winterday; tried some of the drinks from the happy hour menu. Farm to table... restaurant, as a result the food is fresh. We ordered the chilled shrimps. Must try. Read more
We had gone here to get some pre-drinks for a friends birthday and had made reservations. On a Thursday evening at 6:30 pm, this... place was relatively busy and we as we entered were welcomed to some really good live jazz music! The ambiance is that of avery cozy winter bar, so we'll definitely visit during winter to get some of their excellently mixed cocktails. For snacks, wegot a few flatbreads which were absolutely delicious. I was slightly disappointed with my flatbread when I bit into a piece ofplastic (what looked like an accidental piece of a plastic box). I lost my apatite after that sadly, but until then, enjoyedevery bite of a very flavorful Courgette ($20) and a very delicious fig based flatbread that I cannot remember the nameof. Service overall was absolutely fantastic and they have a very attentive staff. Will definitely visit again the winter toenjoy some fine cocktails and live Jazz music! Read more
I really wanted to like this place. The inside is super cute w really fun art on the walls but it’s covid so we sat... outside. The drinks - just okay. Reeeally pretty, but just okay. We didn’t order it, but if you ordered the “skinniestmargarita” added spice and a watermelon cube, it will run you !30!! For one drink. If that doesn’t come w a 3lb weight loss,no thanks. My friends ordered the charcuterie plate and just kept saying how it wasn’t good. They gave it a C-. I also hadto ask for water so many times. Idk, nothing special that would bring us back. Read more
It's my neighborhood place to go. All their pastries and sweet are so delicious. It's perfect for brunch and lunch! Semi Outdoor... seatings are so cute! Service was always awesome. Highly recommended! Read more
So much more than meets the eye from the street . Spacious , clean , healthy clean living vibe . First time for me to try clam... chowder and an espresso martini . Yum on both . Mozzarella tomato caprese was excellent . Served with a small salad that reallyhit the spot . Shout to Ian who was a welcoming , kind waiter . Will be back because they change their menu with the 4 seasons. Farm to table bar and food - Did I mention they put flower petals in their drinks ? yes please . Read more
A dinner Festival of sorts! A couple of (very minor) first-couple-of-week kinks to work out, but definitely check this spot out... and be sure to order the... *Steak Tartare *Beef Short Rib Pie Cocktails? Although they market themselves as the onlyfarm-to-bar spot in the city, their cocktails were okay - nothing terribly impressive. I’d love to check Festival’s daytimemenu - coffee, a savory bite and a daytime cocktail. That might do the trick. Read more
My girlfriend & I have been looking forward to coming here for a long time. We arrived only to be told to leave because of an... “unexpected rush.” There were only a few people at the bar and more than half their tables were open. Before we could sayanything else, the manager said verbatim “there’s nothing I can do for you.” We we’re quite confused and rather shockedso we just left. We got in no problem at a very busy Penrose shortly after with kinder service. In a highly saturated andcompetitive market such as NYC for a nice Sunday Brunch, I’m perplexed how this place operates Read more
