About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
THE VANDERBILT opened its doors on October 23, 2009. It was designed with the casual comfort of a neighborhood restaurant/bar with market-inspired New American bar fare by Chef Saul Bolton (also of SAUL Restaurant, Red Gravy & Brooklyn Bangers). Emphasizing seasonal, local, and quality ingredients, the menu consists of snacks, small plates, and big plates--including house-made sausages. With serious, sophisticated food and a beverage program to match, we offer a less formal atmosphere without sacrificing standards.

    I'm honestly shocked at the reviews. The food is great as well as the service. They had a nice full menu with numerous enticing things to choose from. We went with the lobster sliders for starters. It was so hearty and crunch with the celery. It was a nice mix of wet and lobster meat. Then I had the short rib mash. SO GOOD. The perfect fall of the bone and the flavors...superb. I got fried Oreos a la mode for dessert. As amazing as it sounds. I've walked past here many times and never thought to come in. That definitely changes things now. I'm happy I tried this place instead of looking at reviews!

    This is an underestimated dining experience. The food is unbelievably amazing. From the prime rib to the veggie burger, not only is a presentation beautiful, but everything is orgasmic. The dessert was amazing, we had fried Oreos a la mode and with every bite we were moaning with joy it was so good covered with fennel cake batter . Everything was to perfection.

    The food was great, but the service was lacking. The sweets we ordered came before our drinks. When we did finally get our drinks, they were spilled. The food took a long time to come out and took a while to get our drink refills. It wasn't even that crowded for the service to be so slow. When the bill came it seemed wrong, but we were ready to leave.

    I loved this place! The service, the food, and the atmosphere were amazing! Definitely would recommend it and definitely would go back again! Best duck wings I've had in NYC so far! The burger and the steak were super filling! Love the attention to detail when it came to the dessert!
