What a wonderful Turkish gem on 2nd avenue. For start to finish an excellent experience. A warm welcome, followed by equally warm house made bread accompanied by the most delicious olive oil you have ever tasted brought to the table. For an excellent value, book a " Date Night" reservation, you will get an really great bang for your buck. The Turkish Wine went excellent with his Shrimp kabbab entree and mine Kofte entree. We ended my Birthday dinner with Turkish Tea and the house made cold baklava. I'm So happy I found this Gem to celebrate my Birthday. I (we) recommend and will most definitely will be back for more.

Cocktail Bar
West Village
Orient Express Cocktail Bar in West Village.
The Orient Express may have inspired iconic novels and films like From Russia with Love, served as the setting for bravado characters like James Bond, and been featured as the backdrop of Agatha Christie's most famous works, but the famed vintage train continues to ride through modern culture with its latest stop in NYC's West Village,
where Turks and Frogs owner Osman Cakir has re-conceptualized its famous voyages into a posh, time-reversing cocktail bar with a flair for the spirits of yesteryear.

Its look reflects the nostalgia of train travel: Amid the sexy amber glow, warm vintage-tinted beech wood panels, faux windows and bronzed luggage racks, the bar—a handcrafted Caesar Stone beauty—is the clear focal point. Above it, the ceiling curves
to each side, and behind, bartenders bedecked in old-school vests and neckties shake and
pour cocktails.

Located in the heart of Times Square, celebrate the ambiance of winding down while enjoying a French dining experience. Popular shows such as, "Lion King" and "Moulin Rouge!" are steps away from our eatery. Great for date nights and family moments, an intimate setting sets the tone for your weekly night out with love.

Good restaurant for a quick bite. Not really an outstanding dining experience but it’s decent!

I had the pleasure of celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with a group of 14 friends. We planned the event months in advance to secure a space. We selected the prix fixe menu for our large group and the food and service was exceptional! I would like to thank Maria taking care of our group! Maria made us feel valued as restaurant guests. Maria was extremely kind and professional and went about d and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Also, Christian the manager was great! He did an amazing job managing the restaurant and his mezcal flight presentation was top notch! The fire dancer was an exceptional touch and added excitement to a great evening. She took the time to greet our table and took pictures with our group. The food, service and ambiance was made for a memorable evening for my wife’s 50th birthday celebration! Keep up the good work! Last, but not least, special thanks to Daynah at group reservations for helping me get everything scheduled with the menu and seating arrangements. Daynah was so helpful and responsive to my emails and requests for information. Awesome job!

I had the most amazing time at Rocco's, a place where you could bring families, when you can bring colleagues, and where you can be on your own and received a stellar service. For Mother's Day it was one of the most beautiful moment, seeing families coming for fine dining. I salute the entire staff of Rocco and I commend them for a great job well done
