Had a nice little two person early evening meal. 5 PM, super quiet. It was getting busier as we were leaving. The food was great, the service was great, espresso martini was fantastic.

Restaurant Review: A Perfect Dining Experience I had the pleasure of dining at AperiBar, and it was truly an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and professional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. As for the food—absolutely fantastic! Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavors. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and the attention to detail in each plate was impressive. Shout out to the Chef’s special of the night. A delicious truffled gnocchi with filet mignon. It was divine! The restaurant also has a great wine selection. Perfect for a dining celebration. Overall, AperiBar delivered a top-notch dining experience with impeccable service and exceptional food. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal!

Very much enjoyed our pre theatre dinner - the salads and appetizers were generous and a good price and the quality of the food was excellent. Only knock was the paucity of the beets on a beet salad. Only three small beets! Nice wine choices and an excellent espresso martini. Would go back.

A wonderful end to what was an unexpectedly stressful day on our get away to NYC. Hostess was warm and welcoming despite us being late and the waiter was superb. Recommendations were appreciated and spot-on. Our food was delicious and well plated. Very substantial portions. My chicken with mushrooms and polenta was shareable if it wasn’t so delicious!!

Fantastic experience! I surprised my sister and a few others with a birthday dinner here before a show, and everything was superb from start to finish. From the charming entrance to the inviting bar area and cozy dining space, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed a variety of dishes—pizza, bolognese, a flavorful chicken dish, fresh salad, and shrimp pasta—and every bite was excellent! Sadly, we had to dash after dinner and missed out on dessert, but we’ll be back for sure. The service was top-notch, and the dishes were both delicious and satisfying. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Very pleasant and comfortable dining experience! Attentive friendly service too. Dining room in back is calmer than upfront bar lending itself to easy conversation.
