Valerie is praised for its lively atmosphere and "great food," making it an "excellent location" near Broadway. The "extensive gin list" and "delicious cocktails" add to its appeal. Decorated beautifully for the holidays, it offers live jazz and a fun vibe. Some mention "noise levels" and service inconsistencies, but overall, it's a "must-visit" for both brunch and dinner.

    We went for brunch. The food was tasty and appealing, with large portions. The tables were spaced far enough apart so it was easy to talk. Of particular note was the waiter - I think his name was Evon - he was so polite and helpful, suggesting things for us to order. His suggestions were right on the money! The location was great as it was close enough to the theater, yet just outside of the crowds in the theater district.

    My daughter and I ate a late dinner here as some of the surrounding gluten-free restaurants were closed. This restaurant does not have a gluten-free menu and the waitress was not that helpful, to be honest. The food arrived very quickly and was good but not great. My overall complaint was the noise level. If you were standing or eating in the bar area, you literally had to scream to be heard by a person standing two feet away from you. Where we dined near the back of the restaurant was better but still extremely loud. I guess if you're half drunk and screaming at your friends that works, but if you're trying to catch up on things with your daughter, it's less than optimal.

    Host station was attentive and seated us right away even though we were early for our reservation. Our server was pleasant and gave us an appropriate amount of time to order. Appetizers were served promptly and were tasty. Our dinner plates arrived before we finished our appetizers, which seemed unnecessary given the restaurant was not a capacity. I wanted to order another drink, but our server walked away too quickly before I could respond to her. Overall, the food was reliable and tasty. The service was just OK. The ambience was very nice. I would probably try someplace else before going back, but this is a fairly priced and reliable dinner option near the theater district.

    VERY LOUD. It wasn't overly busy and not every table was full and yet it was so loud you couldn't hear the person across from you

    Excellent service paired with great food and cocktails. We shared a flatbread with two salads and multiple Gin & Tonics. The tonics are vast and great fun.

    Unfortunately our server checked on us only once. My companion ordered a steak and we had to request a steak knife from the person re-filling waters. I ordered a drink and she never brought it. Then we requested a dessert menu and she did not follow up on our orders. So we decided to get the check and leave. We ended up having drinks at a different restaurant.
