Chef-favorite, late-night brasserie featuring raw bar, seafood, American dishes & cocktails in a convivial setting. Blue Ribbon's bustling dining room and friendly bar have been serving neighborhood regulars and culinary industry insiders since 1992. The Bromberg Brothers' eclectic vision first sprang to life here and has blossomed into an iconic destination known for its late-night dining scene where the country's top chefs congregate and eat after closing their own kitchens. Whether you're craving a burger and a beer, a hanger steak and a pint, a roasted rack of lamb and a deep red cabernet or the famed shellfish platter and champagne, Blue Ribbon is famously open late, seven nights a week.

    The best joint in town for bistro food - fantastic service and their outdoor dinning (believe it or not) is cozy and warm. The tab is always hefty - I would eat their more often but prices are very high. A once in a while treat . . .

    We had an excellent time and our visitors from London were thrilled. They were amazed at the fried oysters and bone marrow and said the fried chicken was the best they had ever eaten. I was so happy to have the spicy fish soup again it is my favorite! It was lively and we saw a lot of friends and had a wonderful evening as always. Thanks Blue Ribbon!!!

    We were a group of 7 that sat outside. The temperature inside the dining structure was quite toasty. Our server Richard was outstanding. We can be a demanding bunch but he handled everything great. The service & food were both superb. One of our guests dining with us suggested it & we couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner while we were in town for an event.

    This was a birthday celebration and we explored several options for dinner before landing on Blue Ribbon Brasserie. From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. We had a couple of allergies in the party and the staff took them seriously. The food was delicious and the drinks were some of the best we've had in NYC. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again soon.

    It was a girls get together. My friend was visiting from California. This is a favorite restaurant of mine and I hadn’t been back since before covid. It didn’t disappoint. We started with the Cesar salad, perfect sharing size. And then the main course. Of course I raved about the fried chicken and we both ordered it. It was juicy and oh so yummy! It’s a half of chicken. My only complaint is I wished they gave me more of the collard greens. And ooooo the mashed potatoes so good! Last but not least the dessert. Usually I share one with whom ever I’m dinning with, but oh no…not this time. You must, I mean you must order the banana split. I felt like a little kid getting a special treat. The overall mean was soooooo delicious. The one thing though, the service was almost perfect except for our waiter. He had no personality whatsoever so ever. Even when we were being friendly, there was no interaction except for taking our order. He was like a robot. What saved him was the fabulous personalities of the servers and the gentleman who was buzzing the table. All in all this is definitely still one of my fave places to dine. Thank you for a wonderful meal, but not for the extra pound or two I probably gained⁉️ but it was worth it🥰
