In my humble opinion, 54th Street in general is good for drinks and appetizers. I've never felt their food was anything better than average. My friends and I enjoy going to 54th Street for their late night happy hour and gringo dip. Nothing is spectacular, but the service is always good and there's never a long wait for your food to come out.
Review Source:My wife and I had dinner there last night - The food was decent, but the service was abysmal. Â I ordered a burger medium well done and received one that was pink in the middle - so far, just a small error. Â The server went back to get the order corrected.
Minutes pass. Â My wife finishes eating. Â The server comes by a couple of times to tell me "it'll be right out.". Two new tables are seated in my section. Â They get their drinks, then their appetizers, then their meal. Â I ask another server and the hostess about my meal. Â After nearly a half hour, my meal finally arrives, and my wife watches me eat.
Mistakes are understandable - however, the restaurant's attitude toward fixing it was, to say the least, lackluster.
Man, this place is always pretty spot on. Â And that's more than you can say for most places, am I right?
The service here is always speedy and efficient, the wait staff is generally friendly and helpful, and the food is really damn good.
When I was a carnivore, I would devour the club Five Four, which is a Triple decker sandwich, loaded with slow smoked beef brisket and smoked ham, blended with our special BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, sliced tomatoes, pickles, cheddar and pepper jack cheese.
Oh my god, it was so good.
But now I'm a veg, their veggie burger is just okay. Â I don't think they make it in house, which is a huge letdown. Â So it's just "meh".
Their nachos, salads, and baked potatoes are so delicious, though. Â
I realize I've made all their vegetarian options sound like total shit, but seriously, just go and try it out.
Also, the happy hour specials are excellent, so check out their site for more details.
