Besides them giving me the wrong check which if I didn’t look at it before I left would have been over charged.

I have never been to the Stand. I will say it wasn't super clear on how to book the show and dinner. I tried to call several times thru the week, but no answer. So I booked the show and dinner separately. I will say having the dinner afterwards made it less 'rushed'. The service was not great. There was 1 waiter that was taking orders and closing out tabs for like 20 tables. Even though he was friendly, he was just overwhelmed. We enjoyed the food and overall had a good time.

Stopped in for dinner before a concert at Irving Plaza - who knew a comedy club could have such amazing food! Staff was great, place is beautiful, bone marrow appetizer was delicious, so was the prosciutto wrapped Mahi Mahi. Will definitely be back. If the comedy is half as good as the food I'll probably wet myself from laughing LOL Highly recommended

One of the worst experiences. Was charged for several items we didn’t order or receive. When I told the manager she said she would “educate me” on a minimum no one told us about.

Had a great experience during Restaurant week. Food was great, staff was very welcoming and accommodating- made us feel at home. We also made one of the stand up comedy sessions which was hilarious and at a very reasonable price! Will definitely come back and bring more friends.

We had tickets to the show, but we had planned to dine elsewhere for dinner. A friend recommended that we dine here as well. The food and service were wonderful and reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed both the dinner and the show! Next time in New York, we will definitely be back!
