Irvington

i like that it is in the neighborhood. The service was good. The ambience was okay. The bar is noisy, but the restaurant is quieter than many restaurants in this neighborhood. The prices are ok, but the menu is limited. The chicken parm was big and crispy but doesn't come with anything, so you have to order a side, which is annoying. I actually didn't love it, but if i wanted a nice restaurant nearby, i would return.

Fresh food, delicious coffee and excelled service in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

The food, cocktail selection, location, and aesthetic are what drove me to dine here for a meal before a concert at Irving Plaza. Unfortunately, the incredibly poor service is what we’ll remember most about this place. Our waitress was extremely slow to take our orders & deliver food/drinks. I’m usually not a stickler for these things by any means, however, this was truly a weird exception. What really drove home the poor service was when we hadn’t been seen or visited by our waitress for over a half hour and were looking for another round. We stopped another waitress and asked her if she could send our waitress over. The other waitress informed us our waitress went on a break, but hadn’t asked for anyone to cover our table. I thought this was super odd and unacceptable. Won’t be returning.

Just a beautiful ambience. High ceilings, wonderful lighting, different atmospheres at various parts of the restaurant.

Eclectic crowd. Staff are very pleasant and courteous.

Wonderful place for lovely dinning.

Amazing experience, my meal was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the Irvington burger!!!!

Great. Nice place

Beautiful setting in a great location. I'll go back for drinks but not a lunch The wait staff was lovely but needed to called for service (more coffee, twice) after the first delivery. They were not full.

My mouth is still recalling all those delicious flavors of our three courses! It was an amazing combination of ingredients. Also the quality & quantity was perfect. There was much care & patience taken in the preparation of each course as well. All in all , it was a wonderful dining experience! Loved it!

Great as always. Staff is very knowledgeable!

I eat a lot so I just wish they included pasta with the chicken parm... definitely not enough chicken for the price, better off with the burger, which was also very good! (That came with fries)

Great drinks! The food was okay, but felt like a lot of $ for what you got. The best dishes we got were the tuna tartare, and the lamb ragu. The burrata, tilefish, and cauliflower pizza were all fine but not very flavorful

We should have checked on the noise level before we went! It was horrible. We actually like to have a conversation with our friends -- impossible! Will never go again and unless you are interested in a place to drink and make noise, don't go to this place.

Had a nice meal with good drinks at Irvington. A Dirty Martini with black pepper goat cheese stuffed olives was amazing! Our food was good tho pasta wasn’t as hot as we would have liked. Good service from a rotating team who somehow made it flow smoothly. Would return for tuna tacos. Great location.

Always amazing! Always!

Horrible service and mediocre food

Great service. Delicious burger. A little noisy but where isn’t this time of year?

Food was served cold and service was almost non-existent.

Bar service was non-existent on a Friday night during the holiday season. Table service was marginally better. STILL VERY SLOW. So slow they comped our desserts. Food was good. Shame the service will keep me from returning any time soon.

Delightful

Great ambiance, nice food but a bit pricy for size. This is the reason for I put 4 stars for value, but otherwise, all other points were great. Service was good, communicative and respectful. We also hit the bar in the restaurant and service staff prepared nice seats at the bar.

We chose Irvington for Thanksgiving, making our reservation for 4:00pm for a party of 3 well in advance. We arrived early to be greeted by two inept hostesses & told we were to be seated at the “farmer’s table.” We realized this was a communal table in an ice-cold corner by the emergency exit and a view of the dishwashers & napkin folders. We immediately said this was unacceptable. The hostess was totally confused that we were not going to sit there, off she went to eventually return to seat us in a booth with strict instructions she was doing us a favor to allow us to sit there but we would have to vacate our table no later than 5:30. As for the food, appetizers were delicious & hot. The salad to share was brought w/ our main course. We all had the turkey dinner, food was good but lukewarm. Obviously the food had been plated well in advance. Dessert while ordered is not their strong suit. As for service, our server barely competent, never checking back & if there was an overall manager, never saw he/she. Under the circumstances, It would have been a nice customer service gesture to apologize for the seating mishap & offer to buy us a drink for agreeing to eat & run. When we left at 5:30, there was no group waiting for the table.

I was there for brunch and had the mushroom omelette. It was flat, not overly filled, and came with about 1/4 cup of greens on the side. Two of us then had to order a croissant as an extra. For the price, I think they could have been a bit more generous with that item. Add potatoes or toast or even both!

We had a nice time at Irvington. The food was very good (we chose from the brunch menu). The space was lovely, and on our visit fairly quiet. The service was good when it got going but at the start it was incredibly slow....starting with the hostess who had no idea we were coming despite our opentable reservation.

The service was terrible, and the food was tasty but overpriced.

We had a great time at this fun Brunch Place near our hotel. There was something on the menu for everyone and it was a relaxed comfortable scene. Our waitress Valerie was just awesome. I would go back again for another meal besides brunch.

I have been to Irvington a few times now - the food is very good and consistent. I do think it's a little over-priced, and the service was a little slow - but overall I like this spot and I will be back again.

Upscale atmosphere. Roomy seating. Food was adequate but small portions. Fried artichokes and skirt were tasty. Farro bowl ok but nothing special.

The food was delicious. The waiters could have been a bit more attentive.

Took a friend for a surprise party. They managed the surprise perfectly, seating the two of us at a large table, but taking away all the other place settings
until friends started joining us, one by one. It was a delicious and delightful evening. Both the food and the service made it so.

I always recommend Irvington because it's one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I didn't have a great experience before this time but they really made up for it with this one, which was nice. Jim, the new Sous Chef, even walked over to say hello and ask how everything was.

Food was good. Drinks expensive for what they were. Wait staff overly eager to move us along. We were not overstaying our welcome so it was a bit irritating.

Over $150 for brunch for 4 with no alcohol for rather stingy portions.

That is the headline. The food was good, even a bit better than good, but I felt ripped off. No bread with the omelette ... add $3.50 for one slice of (very good) multi-grain bread. $18 or $19 for an omelette ... it was tasty but that's excessive, especially for what was, at best, a modest portion of food. The two pasta dishes at the table were also tasty but barely larger than appetizer portions.

Nice setting. Nice staff. But not again.

Way overpriced - I pride myself on having been to most restaurants in NYC (high end to low end), and this was hands-down the least worthwhile. We left starving and broke, having ordered a starter and two mains.

It's so sweet for them to make me birthday brownie with ice cream.

I had lunch with a colleague and had a great time. The food was amazing as always. It is also close to my office that there is no travel time needed.

The only reason I lowered my review is because I was FREEZING in there and the hamachi crude was also tiny for the amount of money it costed. Otherwise everything else was great.

Restaurant was very loud

I come to Irvington every so often because I enjoy the food and ambience. I can think of one other time where I didn’t have a good experience. This was the second and mostly because of the lack of service. After we ordered, we didn’t see our waiter again and it took us ages to flag anyone down whenever we needed something. It wasn’t busy when we arrived, only got busy about an hour in, so I’m not sure what the delays were about.
