About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
It's been our great pleasure and privilege to serve you at 44 1/2 for the past 15 years, but it's time for us to simplify a bit. Although we've closed 44 1/2, we continue to welcome you to join us for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch at 44 & X on the corner of Tenth Avenue and 44th St.
- Scott Hart & Bruce Horowytz

    We had reservations at this restaurant for August 10 for our group of 5. When we arrived, the restaurant was closed. We went next door to Hell's Kitchen 44 X who told us it had been closed for over one month. No notification to us was made and I am still getting requests to book again and for feedback. Terrible.

    Restaurant is closed with no notice. They expected us to eat in another restaurant they own.

    We made a reservation and our party of four was seated immediately. Restaurant was very crowded due to pride day, so reservation was a good idea. Muffins served to the table as we sat. Attentive waiter took our drink and appetizer orders and then we waited for a long time before they came. Same long wait for our main dishes. Ordered eggs Benedict and the dish came over cooked. Same result for my wife's Benedict. Possibly due to the day, the restaurant was very noisy and boisterous. We have eaten there before and this was the first time we were disappointed. It is not a cheap restaurant.

    Ugh ... I really wanted to like this. I had been a long time ago and LOVED and thought it would be a no-brainer choice to take my friend visiting from overseas. But what happened?! Food was ok but service was seriously lack lustre. It was Pride Parade day ... is that where all the good servers were? Slow, inattentive and generally not interested in our experience. Unfortunately there are now too many other good options in the area to try again. Has 44 1/2 had its day? I hope not.

    New American were it is all about flavor and pairing different textures to the dishes. The truffle gnocchi was the most delicious recipe. They melt in mouth - a potato cloud. Though I wish the portion size a bit bigger for the price. Sat inside although they do have an outside tables in the back.

    Great find in Hell’s Kichen, we sat in the back courtyard, enjoyable outside space. Food was tasty - enjoyed the roasted organic chicken and chopped salad.
