I was warmly greeted and despite the fact that my friend was 1/2 hour late, the staff not only let me be (although restaurant was full), they kept coming over to check that I was ok. Once we ordered, food was just yummy! As it was lunch, we did not drink, but I’m looking forward to going back soon for drinks and dinner.

Great service. Mussels, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts were good. Flatbread could have been better. Tuna was good quality, but my table mates didn’t like the seasoning.

Not a good experience. Waitress had no personality at all and even the hostess was not polite at check in. Only person who seemed like they wanted to be there was the person who bussed the tables and he was nice enough to ask us if we needed another drink when he cleaned the table at one point. The waitress was not attentive at all and it was not busy. I’m an easy going person and used to be a server. This was a bad experience.

This cute little tavern was close to our hotel for our New Year’s holiday week celebration. Our family of 4 dined here for lunch on Dec 30. The server was friendly, prompt, and readily available. My husband enjoyed the (very large) fish and chips. My chicken sandwich was delicious. The kids enjoyed the Mac-n-cheese. Drinks hit the spot. Overall, the food was very good. I highly recommend Croton Reservoir Tavern.

At this price point (Google’s $$ is a little misleading), the service was very inattentive. While they were busy, it wasn’t packed and so, having the wait staff stroll past your table constantly without checking in was very annoying. The busmen were more attentive. That being said, the food is excellent. We had the Croton Crunch w/tots, The Cobb, the NYC Mega Pretzel (slightly over done), the Local Meats and Cheese and the side of Brussel Sprouts. All plates were cleaned. Croton has a great vibe and Kabir at the bar is a treasure. Speaking of the bar, while it is very whiskey centric, they do have a very nice selection of tequilas. Mezcal, not so much.

Trip to NYC!!! Jason, the manager(?), was very accommodating when the menu on Open Table did not reflect the restaurant’s actual menu. He made it right!! The meal was delicious… and Jason was warm and very friendly! Don’t know his exact role there, but he’s a keeper!!!

We went there for a pre-dinner meal. We wanted something quick and easy. Since it is a bar type venue I selected wings and fries. They were mediocre. Normally I’ve gotten their burger but I decided to try something different. If I return I will stick with the burger. My friend got a salad and fries again they were mediocre. I’m a but disappointed since these are standard bar food. Lesson learned.

We arrived for our booking just before the time, no host appeared for around 10+mins. There was a waiter that looked at us a few times but walked off, didn’t notify the host we were there waiting to be seated. When someone else did come over and I explained I had a reservation they advised they would let the host know and ‘would see if they had a table’. The host arrived, we were seated and then no drinks order was taken, another table that arrived afterwards had orders taken, we waited near on 30 mins, and whilst I appreciate it was a Friday night, there were spare tables and from what I could tell, enough staff although most were at the back out of sight. The food when our order was taken was great, the salad was fabulous, well seasoned and good sized portions. Just a real shame the service was so bad! Which is never something I have experienced in New York before.

Croton Res has been around forever and for good reason. It's consistency. This time around it was burgers for the table. Perfectly cooked medium rare as requested, serviced with a delicious sauce, small salad and fries. Nice energetic bar depending on time of day. Very reliable food. I miss their Mac & cheese, used to be a standout, no longer on the menu but plenty to choose from. Want a classic NYC pub with better than average fair? Croton Res is your place.

We had tickets to an 8pm show so I made a 6pm reservation hoping we could be in and out in an hour and we were! Arrived promptly at 6 and was seated right away. Despite the big happy hour crew and several large tables, our server Casey was outstanding, took our order, got us drinks and we were served our delicious dinner in less than 15 minutes. My sister said it was the best burger she’s ever had! I’ve been here 3 times in the past several months and never had a complaint. Will continue to come back. Thanks!!

Delicious. We went for Thanksgiving prix fixe and the portions were perfect for both the traditional soup with turkey and all the sides as well as the salad and vegetable pot pie. Food was flavorful and seasonal, really well done. Service was professional, knowledgable, available - terrific staff each and every one.
