Excellent food. Great service. We arrived quite early and were seated immediately. Only issue was acoustics. It was hard to converse with our group of six. Also, it took a long time to get our check.

We enjoyed our time at Virgil’s! My partner is a celiac and the team couldn’t have made us feel more safe and comfortable. Even the manager came over to explain what we could and couldn’t have. The food was delicious! If we wasn’t leaving NYC the next day we would have returned. The vibe of the restaurant was great and we loved being able to watch the games that were on. My cocktail was also lovely! We left feeling full and extremely content! Thank you!

We loved Monterey! It’s a lovely restaurant conveniently located near lots of Midtown attractions. The food and beverage presentations were impressive. We had the prime rib special and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. For dessert, the Bananas Foster was prepared table side. The presentation and taste were amazing. We can’t wait to return.
