    We dined here twice while visiting New York City. The food is delicious and the wait staff was so friendly! We had the Caesar Salad, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Fettuccine Bolognese, A Lot of pepperoni Pizza and chocolate mousse for dessert. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

    We love the holiday vibes at Sessions Restaurant & Bar. Beautifully decorated. Attentive service from the hostess to our waitstaff. We enjoyed our cocktail and food was amazing. We really had a wonderful evening with live music by Najah Lewis and Joshua Strim. Our server, Nick was welcoming and courteous. Thank you for an incredible dining experience!

    Food was amazing! Service was also very good and attentive. It is pretty small in there (which is obviously not a foreign concept in NYC) and I know they can only do so much about. While I didn’t mind being placed at the community table, I could see how this would not be welcomed depending on who your neighbors are; can only have so much privacy. I embraced it though! Had a charm with the projector in the back playing the 3 stooges.

    Beautiful place in both areas, inside the bar room is my favorite though. I love the red velvet banquettes and that great wall behind the bar! Very convenient if you are traveling by Metro North. The food was delicious, my only thought is that the Onion soup was a bit sweet, as if it had sugar in it, but still great, I just prefer it less sweet. Mussels and fries were great, truffle fries, by the way. It’s on the expensive side, but no different than any other restaurant in the same level. We’ll be going back.
