Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Downtown / Union Square

Food was good, but I would say you pay more for the aesthetics. Service was decent—some staff were nice and friendly, while some were rushing and didn’t seem to care. We also got a table that felt pretty cramped as we were literally a couple of inches away from another table. The place is small, so it’s not their fault, but still felt very awkward since we couldn’t have a properly private convo.

Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.

Loved it! Service was very attentive and they had wonderful suggestions from their menu. The steak tartare was delicious served on homemade potato chips. The deviled eggs were a wonderful surprise served upside down with a sauce and caviar on top. The Caesar salad was amazing…I shared this but won’t next time I return…it was delicious with the crunchy topping. We shared the roast chicken, which was so tender and had the most delicious pan gravy. And don’t leave without trying the Soft Serve dessert. It checks all the boxes…caramel, toasted hazelnuts, poached pears and ice cream.

I am so excited to have found my neighborhood wine bar!!! Love it all: the wine, the nibbles, the ambiance and the lovely and attentive people that work there!

Absolutely a phenomenal meal and service! First time dining at Cable 55 and first time staying at Parc 55. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!
