Overpriced and underwhelming. Besides being a lawsuit ready to happen with all the Taylor swift references, everything was just a bit too gimmicky. This places was made for tourists that think New Yorkers spend $100 minimum on a night out. Ordered one round of drinks, we were the first people in there and it still took 30 mins -_-. Birthday girl took a picture in the martini glass and we hightailed it out of there.

Not for the easily overstimulated, this places is a girly night out explosion. So much pink and flowers but super fun! You would never know this place is here, as it is downstairs but walking in the place feels very spacious for being in the basement. I went with a friend to celebrate so we went all out! For apps: Lobster Bisque; 7/10, not a huge lobster fan but this was very good. Angry Lobster sushi roll; 8/10 this was a great cooked sushi roll. Sticky Ribs; 6/10 not really for me as this is a knife and fork place but the glaze was good. Tuna tacos; 10/10 could have 12 of these! For mains, we split two: Seafood Paradise (which no longer comes in a pineapple); 7/10, this was much spicer then we thought it would be the rice was good but needed a minute or two longer. We also ordered a chicken with potatoes dish that is either no longer on the menu or a special but was actually one of my favorite meals of the year so I hope they bring it back! We were absolutely stuffed at this point but we still got the two different Sundae for shits and giggles, Iām actually allergic to strawberries for the Fried Oreo sundae was the perfect way to end the meal. For drinks, our waitress suggested the watermelon lemon drop & the lemon drop martini. I was more a fan of the watermelon version as it was less tart but both were great! They came with a cute little floating duck in them.

Been going to the UWS location for years but I was in the area needing to kill time so decided to stop in for Happy Hour. Sitting at the bar, it was only me one other patron and the bartender (with the host nearby). Had a great time talking, it was a slow day so we all really had a great time. I went with the white queso ($8) from the HH menu and then tried the fried cauliflower($9). They were good, breaded thickly with a great spicy sauce. All went great with a beer on tap, whatever was on HH that day.

First time at Wilka's and I came in for a watch party while it was snowing! The person at the door and the food runner were sweathearts but the bartenders were a little over their heads. I showed up an hour and a half early before the event I went to "started", got a seat at the short (Ada compliant) bar and settled in to grab a drink or two before everything started. It took 45 mins for someone (2 people were working) to actually make it down to our side on the bar, everyone I was sitting with, including the tables, wanted to order. The girls next to me said they got there 15 mins before me. If I wasn't here specifically to watch a show with other people in my community I would have left. An hour for a drink!?!?! I took it on the chin and just ordered 2 drinks, which was great because an hour and a half (we ordered the second time after the show started) later they finally came back. Not sure if I would end up coming back, which is sad because I love a watching professional women's sports and this place was made for it but not worth the wait times.

Such a fun time! Never thought I would find mini golf in NYC but this was such a fun surprise. Went in with a few friends for girls night and stayed for a few drinks and snacks after playing. Wish there were a few more holes to play but each hole is exciting and challenging. Come early or you will be stuck waiting around for 20+ people playing in front of you. All the cocktails were tasty but for food, I would suggest the cheese fries and the pizza but honestly everything was pretty good. If you can grab a table, ask to sit in Dominic or Brandon's section, they were great! Also, Minerva in the coat check was the cutest. So sweet and answered all of our slightly tipsy questions on the way out.
