Diner Reviews
  • "There was a time when Schillers was one of the hopping brasserie scenes to rival Pastis and Balthazar. And brasserie food has never been hotter in NYC. Which makes it very disappointing to find that Schillers has rested on its subway-tiled laurels for far too long and there are plenty of better spots to have good steak frites and oysters or a decent salad. The fish and chips was simply horrid (although recommended by our server) and the kale salad was tough and tasteless. Wont be going back any time soon. Shame."

  • "I had friends in town from philly and we went here on a Saturday night at 7. It was the right amount of crowded with a happening vibe. the food came out quick and was delish! Especially the garlic shrimp. the price was right as well... we knew we were going to hop around to a bunch more places and so we didn't want to spend all our dough on dinner. for a cool spot with a notable owner it was a great way to start the evening."

  • "As with any Keith McNally restaurant, the ambiance is great. Despite being packed with several large groups, the service was really good and our appetizers and main courses were very delicious. However, if you are over 30, be warned that this place is exceptionally loud. At some point, we gave up trying to have a conversation and just people watched....I am not sure how the tables with 10 people were able to hear each other (young ears, maybe?). Every surface in the place is tiled & hard...and the noise just echoes off of itself. When we left, our ears were ringing. So if you go, and you aren't into a super loud scene, go early (pre 7:30)."

  • "Great food, I love the menu, a few things and everything, including cocktails and wine, was simply good. Service was amazing, friendly and fast. If you don't mind the noise, you'll have a great night!"

  • "I came to the restaurant this past Saturday for Brunch. I was extremly disappointed with the service and was not sure why it seemed the restaurant was short staffed for a Saturday Brunch. Between the hostess and waitress I wasnt sure if they had apersonality and should really be in a service industry capacity. I will say food was good but not sure if one could really mess up pancakes. Very disappointed."

  • "We sat by the window and it was definitely drafty, but other than that, it was a great experience. A group of friends and I were able to sit and keep talking even after we finished our emails - it was much appreciated!"

  • "Had a long flight layover in New York and decided to make the most of it by heading to Manhattan for a late dinner. Made a reservation at Schiller's and so glad we did. Waitress took our big bags and stored them away so we could concentrate fully on enjoying the evening and not worry about another long flight! Food was decent, wine flowed and atmosphere was lively but relaxed. Ideal."

  • "It's a solid spot, always lively, fun ambiance. However, the price's are just a little too high for what it is. It seems like they've recognized that they're a popular place, as a result realized they can price their food for slightly more then it's worth. If you're in the area and you and some friends want to grab something to eat and have no time to look around or make reservations somewhere else, you could easily go here, just don't expect to be blown away."

  • "We had a dinner on Sat night at 7 pm. Two of them ordered chicken pot pie and Cuban sandwiches. They said they were good. However, my order - fish and chips wasn't as good as I expected. I felt like just eating the batter and oil than the fish. The batter was too thick. I couldn't enjoy the fish. The chips were a little bit salty. However, the garlic shrimps that my bf ordered was very good. The service was a regular one - good - the server kept checking in to make sure we were okay. One thing I didn't like this restaurant was the noise level. They turned on the music TOO loud that I hardly could make a normal conversations with my friends. I don't recommend it if you want to have a good conversations or a relaxing dinner experience."

  • "I will recommend this place. It's really great for a small group but not for two people. The service is good and the food too."

  • "Very little for vegetarians and portions have gotten significantly smaller than they were a year or so ago. We were hungry and we do not eat a lot."

  • "I am a frequent customer at Pastis and Morandi, a sometime visitor to Balthazar: the McNally jewels of bistros. Schillers was a disappointment. Food for lunch was OK, but not done to order ( rare came medium, etc.) and the service was poor."
    Dined on 12/29/2013
  • "Good go to place on LES. Always good service and good food. Tables are just a tad too small to be comfortable for a long dinner."

  • "Love Schiller's Liquor Bar! Love the atmosphere and architecture of the building. The food is fantastic. We went for brunch and Egg's Benedict, Blueberry pancakes and Chicken Palliard were all excellent!!!"

  • "Whenever I am visiting New York, I am having night out at Schiller's Liquor bar in either Dinner or Drinks and always bring friends from NYC there. I am missing such a place in Europe, here in Zurich,Switzerland. Great Design, Great Food and Drinks and good service!!"

  • "As always, Schiller's was fantastic! As someone from Kentucky that loves bourbon, I believe Schiller's has the best bourbon drink I've ever had - the Gentleman Caller - do not leave there without trying it. Also tried the nachos for an appetizer for the first time and I highly recommend them... very good!"

  • "Eating at Schiller's is kind of like finding a place you have been going to forever. It was that comfortable. The food is delish, great service, nice servers, great interior, cool bar, great vibe. We tried several things and they were all prepared well, brought out in a timely manner. We found that the place had really good energy. The other diners, staff, hostess all seemed to be in good spirits and it reflected in an awesome dining experience. Highly recommend! Cheers!"

  • "There were six of us and we all loved to be here. uncomplicated, simple food but very good. Noise level was to the max, space to the minimum... it was good we were sitting so close, that we could hear one another. service was friendly and efficient. some of us were running the marathon the next day, so we had a few special wishes which were fulfilled without a problem. we'll be back for sure!"
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "This is a wonderful place with a terrific authentic atmosphere, good food and a nice crowd. But when you are a little bit older the noise level kills."
    Dined on 11/4/2013
  • "the scene was loud and relaxing at the same time. I tried the recommended garlic shrimp was very tasty but small. the devil eggs were also very good. Reminded me of having them at my grandma's during the holidays. Have added devil eggs to this year's thanksgiving appetizer list. The best of all was the bridesmaid drink. very tasty interesting with cucumber slices and flavor. very cool. had three of them. don't tell. lol."
    Dined on 11/8/2013
  • "This is a very cool place to go and have dinner to. The lights are dimmed a bit (it's a liquor bar), and the interior shows some 'nonchalance sophistiquée ésthetique' that I really enjoyed. As a Belgian, visiting the US, I had to try a burger. So I tried the salmon-burger and it was a really good gourmet-style burger. Although the wine selection is quite good, my advise to try a cocktail, you won't find them that original that easy in Europe."

  • "Our fish was terrible, should have sticked to basics like steak frites. As always a fun ambience, but should have eaten elsewhere, too many good restaurants in the neighborhood."

  • "Really cool place, great food and the ambiance was great. However it was just toooooo loud. We almost panicked at the end of the meal. :)"

  • "Buzzing venue with diners and drinkers sharing space. Quick turnover but not rushed in any way. Good staff across the board. Menu was broad and interesting. Food was very good. Would highly recommend the sliders to get you start. Everything around us looked as good as ours tasted and a seriously easy to you wine menu that leaves a relaxed vibe to an upbeat place. Worth a visit."

  • "We made reservations and rushed to get there only to find out we were the only ones there. From reading the reviews I thought there would be a line. I guess the city that never sleeps, sleeps past 10 on Saturdays. Polite service. Great music. I had a chocolate filled croissant, herb omelet with cheese, and a side of bacon. Everything was very good. Nothing knocked my socks off, but very good. I had higher hopes for the Balthazar croissant. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros. This was excellent. She also ordered a doughnut which hadn't come in yet from the bakery. We thought it was going to be extra fresh and warm, but it was just ok. Worth getting if you've never had a homemade doughnut, but nothing crazy. Great coffee from Stumptown."

  • "six years later - this place still has IT. Lunch is quiet here in midweek, my fave time to go. mac and cheese - primo!"
    Dined on 10/2/2013
  • "Schillors is a perfect spot for a late night cocktail but be warned - food is very disappointing and the service was very poor the night we went there....dinner options are limited and the food was poor.....I had the steak frites.....the frites were overdones so while crisp they were very dry and hard. The steak was rubbery and tough."
    Dined on 10/3/2013
  • "I know it was certainly voluntary, but the music was really too loud, so much that we couldn't even share a conversation. It's a shame because the food was really good though, but the music made the ambience really stressful, so much that it made me lost my appetite. I am young and really enjoy to go out, but I don't think the atmosphere was the proper one for a restaurant. There also was a gratuity suggestion print on the bill that I found kind of rude and infantilizing."

  • "Vibrant brunch spot - you should definitely book! People were queuing down the street for a table! The food was simple and good - lots of choice on the menu. Make a great bloody mary (if you like it hot!)/ Service was attentive and we were not rushed even though there was a line outside."
    Dined on 9/15/2013
  • "This is my second time here but it has been a few years and my goodness, the place has been invaded by all the 20 and 30-somethings. Because of that, it was loud, boisterous and if you are over 50 you will feel a bit out of place with Nirvana playing at ear-splitting levels. The waitstaff tended to be a little clueless (this look of ingenue). But I love the wine list that is very reasonable. The food was fabulous. I'll come back maybe on days when it is a little quieter."

  • "We went here for a special family occasion after a day at the US Open. When we arrived i was concerned about the noise level of the restaurant. The hostess was considerate and found us a nice table where we could enjoy our dinner conversation. Everything we ordered, from the deviled eggs to the freshly made gazpacho to the steak sandwich and grilled salmon was well prepared and delicious. My Country Time vodka cocktail with lemonade and muddled strawberries was refreshing and not overly sweet. Everyone else enjoyed their wine selections. We will be returning to Schillers, its a great lower east side establishment with good vibes, great food and friendly service."

  • "Schiller's was fab as usual. Had a great table near the window on a balmy night. The food was super and one of the best burgers I have ever had. Watermelon salad was just fantastic, what can I say. We LOVE it!"

  • "I would say uncomfortable seating and it being too loud would be the negatives. Good food and quick service. But definitely not appropriate for a romantic date night spot."
