Were trying to get into this place for a while. But they don't take reservations for less than 5 people, and we did not want to take a risk of waiting. Finally got into this downt...

Reserve for small party! 7/29/2002

The retaurant is know for the long ""wait"" but they do take reservation for group of 5-8 people, so it was just perfect for my friend BD dinner for 3 couples. The food was good for the price, and service was just excellent. One of the guest, (not a waiter) spilled water and it spllashed down to our table. Manager came immdeiately to applogize. When check came, we then found out deserts were on house for applogy and celebrate my friend's BD. Popular restaurant usually get very snabby, but blue ribbon still maintaines ""friendly and hospitality oriented"" atomospher. more

Very sexy 7/26/2002

I've been going to Blue Ribbon for a couple of years and not once have I been disappointed.The food is awesome along with the service and I have been to many so called great restaurants in the city and Blue Ribbon has that rare combination of good food,great music and good looking people.Even the owner's involved with the customer's which is rare.Where else can you get fresh lobster at three in the morning. more

Hail Alonso 7/24/2002

I wandered in here one wednesday night at about midnight and was suprised to see how crowded the place was. i sat at the bar and had a beer while watching Alonso working his magic at the raw bar I ordered half a dozen little necks,which were spectacular,so I finished those and ordered another half ,then progressed onto a bacon cheeseburger and another beer all the time watching the man at work -he was chatting with everybody in the place while he was busy at work.I have heard it gets very crowded so I would recommend going very late.btw the burger was damn good too Pros: alonso Cons: crowded more

solid restaurant 6/17/2002

i have been going since 1993 and this hasd always been my favorite restaurant. very consistent, and very good. there is a long wait between 7pm and 11pm most nights, (no reservations unless you are 5 or more), but the food is worth the wait. Pros: great food, big portions, good wine list Cons: no reservations, long waits more

Blue Ribbon Wins the Blue Ribbon 6/1/2002

I have never had a bad meal at Blue Ribbon. Their seafood, graciously shucked by Alonso is as fresh as can be with Plateaus of Fresh Crab, East and West Coast Oysters, Clams and Jumbo Shrimp. The appetizer you shouldn't miss is foie gras served with slivers of bosc pear and crunch brioche. The ribs are a second runner up, poo poo platters are never out of style. James is the favorite at the bar, always accomodating and if you are lucky Kyle will be your server. This place wins hands down... only down side is you will wait for dinner... and wait ......and wait. Pros: great fresh seafood, comfort food, great service Cons: the wait, the wait, the wait more

Can't go wrong at Blue Ribbon 5/14/2002

It never ceases to amaze me how busy and popular Blue Ribbon is, even after all these years. It's no wonder, when they provide great food, good service and a fun and lively atmosphere. I've never had one bad thing on the menu. It's best to make reservations, the place is always busy. Plus, think twice about inviting a very large group here (six or more), it's a small space and fills up quickly. Pros: good American fare Cons: noisy and crowded more

Opened in 1992, this small cozy Soho restaurant has been at the center of the national and international food scene ever since. The Blue Ribbon flagship restaurant continues to receive critical acclaim for its food, wine list and ambiance. The menu reflects the eclectic upbringing and taste of its chefs and owners, Bruce & Eric Bromberg. The menu includes everything from Paella to Fried Chicken, Rack of Lamb to Matzoh Ball Soup and a ground breaking Raw Bar that is considered one of the best in the city. The Cheese Fondue, Beef Marrow with Oxtail Marmalade and Pu-Pu Platter never disappoint. Whether you are in the mood for a Burger and a Pint or a Lobster and Caviar, the Blue Ribbon (Manhattan) team is always there for you.

  • The Scene
    Opposite an exposed-brick wall painted a lurid red hangs a painting of a lobster with a death grip on a fish. If you can stomach the vivid decor, there's little to complain...
