Absolutely amazing and unique experience!! The terror igloos are absolutely worth it for the overall value of the experience. Food and drinks were delicious, although service was very slow, and our waiter hardly checked on us at all. Would definitely return!!

I’ve been in the city a bunch of times and passed this restaurant many times without trying - had a family day in the city and kids love burgers and shakes - so thought i would give it a try and happy that I did. The burgers were really good, the shakes really good. The service was great - thank you Stefanie. My only suggestions is that you show go in very hungry and not over order as everything comes out oversized . The pretzel barely fits on the table (just kidding) but it’s huge . Lots of food and wish I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch . Next time (and there will be one) I know.

The staff was very attentive & the food tasted very fresh. We had guacamole & chips, shrimp tacos & quesadillas but did not try any of their signature cocktails, though they looked very appealing. The location was very convenient to multiple Broadway theaters which we took advantage of to have pre-matinee lunch. They also have a cute cat robot that they use to deliver drinks, etc., quite a novelty for entertainment.

Dolly Varden was the PERFECT cocktail spot for a birthday get-together I had before a show:) The staff was so nice and attentive to my larger party of 14, and the vibe of the place and decor made it feel like a Christmas cabin getaway. Every drink we had was amazing and the food was wonderful as well! Will surely be back!
