   What a find - you can have a quiet conversation, eat like royalty, and be attended to by friendly, professional, and attentive staff. The portions were perfect, the food top of the line, and we were welcomed like their best customers. Fabulous experience!

   Tip to the management:don't take a 1:45PM reservation, knowing that the kitchen closes @ 2PM. Also, it's Christmas: have a bartender show up before 3PM

   A typical upper end hotel breakfast. Food was good, but very typical. Service was above average.

   Second visit to restaurant. First visit was more enjoyable because the atmosphere was better with a excellent 3 piece band. This visit was on a “quiet night” without the band. Not as good. Service was very good, food OK. Future visit requires a call about the band.

   Came with a friend and had a meal. Food overall was good. Design is sort of dated compared to bar and lounge of hotel. Nothing overall inventive as got nachos with guacamole, calamari, salad with salmon, branzino and carrot cake. Calamari was the best including nice dipping sauce. Service was okay as had to ask for wine list a couple times before got it. They had a musician singing that was below average. If staying at hotel or need food after drinking at bar not a terrible choice.

   Went on Tuesday night before going to the theater. The three piece band was fantastic. Repeat, band was great. Loud but very good. Have to like this kind of atmosphere. You can have a few drinks and listen to music. We had dinner but noticed bar area was crowded pre-theater time. There are quieter nights without a band. Call first. Dark but elegant place. Good number of people but not crowded. It is noisy. Noticed no weekend dinner. Some reviewer were surprised but Open Table has updated info for exact time. Limited menu but good. Bottom line: We plan to go back soon on a quiet night to see what it is like.

    The food was exceptional. The salmon poke was flavorful and very fresh. My husband’s steak was cooked perfectly and their homemade pasta was perfect. The cheesecake was light and creamy. The service was impeccable. Definitely a gem near Times Square.

    The service was wonderful, our waiter was fantastic. But the food was good, not excellent, especially for the price. Some restaurants you feel like their food is much more expensive, but the quality is much higher to match. Here, I felt like the everything was bumped up in price -- cheapest glass of wine was $17 -- but it didn't mean the quality was better than a $12 glass of wine elsewhere. The restaurant was also a little loud from the bar next door (the waiter tried to adjust the volume for us), and when I go out for a nice evening out, I want to have quality conversation with my partner, not have to struggle to hear her. There's nothing particularly wrong with this place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

    We were in NYC to see a show, and looking for a pre-theater menu. We found 44 on Open Table and made an early reservation to be sure to make our 7pm show. I found it interesting that the entry to the restaurant, which is in the Royalton Hotel, was very understated - no big canopy, or outside menu board. Liked it already. Need to walk through a long and active bar to get to the restaurant seating, which was good, because it localized the conversations away from the eating area, although our early arrival may have helped. As we were seated, we mentioned that we were there for the pre-theater menu, and received a blank look. "Don't think we have one". Well, thankful for the internet, I was able to show him they indeed advertised one. After a few minutes of back and forth, a manager came, apologized, and verified the website posting, which may have been left active in error (?) We were able to have an appetizer, entrée, and a glass of wine for $45. Certainly a good value in New York (even with the $18 bourbon added on!). And the meal, service and atmosphere was top notch. We would return, even if they remove this offer (it's still on the site!). Now for the little technical glitch: I later received an email from Open Table, politely asking why I hadn't honored my reservation. I guess 44 not only doesn't know what's on it's website, but doesn't feedback to Open Table when people show up! I was a little embarrassed, but when I replied to Open Table, I received a nice reply. So, little issues aside, 44 was a treat.

    DO NOT book this restaurant through Open Table. We experienced what seems to be a common occurrence with this restaurant. A reservation is made (and confirmed through open table the day of the reservation) only to arrive at the time of our reservation to be told the restaurant was closed for a special event. We were offered to eat at a low table in the lounge with a limited menu, which we declined and we luckily found another place close by. This seems to happen quite often here (see several reviews). This is sad because the hotel (The Royalton) is really lovely with excellent service . Somehow, both the Restaurant and Open Table need to coordinate when the restaurant is closed so those holding reservations can make other arrangements. Really frustrating experience.

    Booked a table for 6 guests for breakfast on Open Table. No waitperson appeared for 20 minutes. Finally a kitchen helper told me they don't have a formal breakfast on the weekend and Open Table shouldn't have booked the reservation. They were only serving croissants and coffee. No apologies, no assistance directing me to another place we could have breakfast. Some places die without a trace. This is one of them.

    Everything was superb - cocktails, wine, food, ambience and most especially the service. Albert is a talented mixologist at the bar! Which is also a most beautiful bar at that. The scene is perfect for a date or getting together with friends when you actually want to hear each other speak, dine on delicious food and be in a beautiful decorated space. It’s not crazy popular or a bustling scene but a perfect reprieve in Midtown.

    The restaurant was not open contrary to what I was told by some obviously uninformed hotel workers. Even after calling to confirm the restaurants hour, we arrived at the hotel only to be told that the restaurant was not open on weekends. Extremely disappointed with the hotel and open table for not coordinating such an important fact as the restaurant’s hours.

    My husband and I had dinner reservations before a 7 pm Broadway show on 44th St. It was Christmastime, and it was pouring rain. We walked many blocks in terrible crowds to get to our reservation on time, only to be told by the hostess that she had to seat us in the very noisy bar area because a private party had taken over the dining area. Our table was very low and one chair was really an ottoman with no back. The menu was bar food. The noise was excruciating. We left, and the hostess was unconcerned. We had to find food elsewhere - no mean feat at that hour at Xmastime. We will never go back to 44.

    Located on main floor of a trendy hotel, you get the feeling of elegance and exclusivity immediately upon walking in through a non-discript door and a dimly lit lobby. The staff was well attentive and we were seated immediately. We had some vegetarians with us and our waiter was more than happy to adapt Ny dish to accommodate our needs. Two highlights highlights for us were the buratta with grilled peach, balsamic, and greens and the broccolini. We capped it off with a round of espresso coffees and concluded our meal within a reasonable business lunch time.
