    There were five of us in our party. We had a reservation for dinner. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant which was kind of far in the back. We requested a more lighted area that was further away from the kitchen. People kept bumping into my chair. Our waiter did accommodate and moved us to a booth. It was a tad tight but much better. We ordered eight different dishes to share amongst our party. We had the Branzino, roasted broccolini, crab Rangoon soup dumplings, mac and cheese, fried bbq baos,, apple kale salad, chicken meatballs, and little french dips. The food was quite tasty. We especially enjoyed the baos and salad. The service was on point for the most part. Wish our waiter checked on us more. Near the end of our dining experience there was a new person helping us. It was quite busy so perhaps everyone was sharing tables. The server who cleared our dishes was very nice and the gentleman at the pawn shop entrance/exit asked about experience. He was quite pleasant and friendly. The restaurant is decorated nicely with an intimate decor. It was cozy and comfortable. Reminded me of an old dining club from the 1940’s. We had a great time..

    All was exactly as promised - fantastic service (very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu/bar options); comfortable, delicious hamburger and perfect fries! And brussel sprouts with tahini were excellent starter. We have been to many, many, many of NYC's hamburger spots, from holes in the wall to white napkin/tablecloth dining - Brindle Room's burger is among the best.
