    We went to Fernando’s Hideaway. I went with my two friends, we were served by Amanda and Jamie. Both of them were great and were attentive to everything we needed. We never missed our drinks and the food was amazing. I would gladly go again and definitely will be.

    Very good service. We arrived 30 mins early and were shown to our table anyway straightaway for Christmas Day lunch. Lovely meal, great value. Very efficient and friendly, we felt welcome but would just say a little rushed as dessert came before the main course dishes had been taken up. Otherwise very pleasant experience

    We had 8 people on the Saturday before Christmas, had reservations of course, but due to the cold weather a few of us who planned on shopping got there way early and they were able to accommodate the early birds at a table, then move us to our larger table at our reservation time. The 2nd floor manager (forgot her name, sorry) was an Irish delight, so pleasant and efficient, our waitress was great. Food drinks and atmosphere were totally on point, it was a great evening with friends - 2 of whom came from out of state to visit NY and the NY Irish pub experience was perfect.
