This inviting, understated cocktail spot has been one of our favorites since we moved to NY a decade ago. They are serious (but not obnoxious) about cocktails. Choosing from their menu is an option, but I prefer to let the barkeep use their judgment and surprise me. The food menu is simple but very well-executed. Until I went there last month, I couldn't tell you the last time I had hummus and pita and thought, wow, this is truly delicious! The staff is very hard-working and professional. This is also our regular watering hole if we're trying to snag a dinner table in the neighborhood and the wait-list is several lifetimes long.

So, having visited Orient Express occasionally over the years, we decided to reach out to them when we needed a venue for my wife's milestone birthday party. They were very accommodating and gave us a great quote. The service (drinks, food, music, cake, photography) was fantastic - attentive without being overwrought. Our guests were enthusiastic about the cocktails and the vibe. A bull's eye!

Thank you for our lovely outdoor event! The team was wonderful to work with. I will definitely plan on hosting another here in the future.

If your not white don't come here, if your having why to much fun on your birthday don't come here. That should be the name of the bar.  They told us they couldn't take us because we were too many (group of 6) yet the table they said that was reserved never showed up. (Group of 5) so we just had to wait for our cabs in front of the bar and watch as no one came in for the "RESERVED TABLE".  To confirm what I'm saying look at the names on the reviews going down.

Attentive service and fantastic cocktails. Also delicious hummus and mixed appetizer platter. Will be back!

Cozy and finished we’re quality with keen attention to detail. A little away from the madding crowd.

Bathroom was gorgeous… always a good sign. Drinks were really delicious. Snacks were on point.

But the highlight undoubtedly was the staff. The server was incredible and the bar tenders were just perfect.
