Worst

Good menu, poor execution Pros: outdoor seating, brunch menu Cons: quality of food and service

Many Thanks, Great Party !! 6/5/2006

Choice is a new addition to the Murray Hill neighborhood. I was looking for a place to hold by wife's 30th birthday party. I was hesitant to have the event at Choice solely b/c it was brand new and I haven't heard anything about it. The place is absolutely beautiful and the private party room is amazing. Every interior detail is superb. I spoke with Katie and Rich (managers) and we planned the party. We had the party last Saturday for 40 friends. The quality of service, food, and attention EXCEEDS the high standards of the interior space. The pricing is reasonable and the private room with bar was perfect. Everything was spectacular and my friends raved about Choice. This will be an instant hit. I have been to their other location on UES and can see they know what they are doing. Great job, thank you- Jerry & Linda Pros: service, AMAZING FOOD, nice private room more

what a good Choice! 5/30/2006

Tried this new place on Friday night and we weren't disappointed. The drinks were excellent, the food was delicious and the waitstaff was so nice. I can't wait to go back. In a neighborhood that doesn't really have too many places, besides a diner, where you can just go and get a burger or some grilled fish this is definitely a welcomed addition to 3rd Avenue. Pros: great food, reasonable prices, good drinks more

Love This Place! 5/24/2006

My boyfriend and I wanted to grab a quick dinner and decided to check out Choice Kitchen & Cocktails. My salad was perfect! Lots of yummy veggies and the portions were huge. My boyfriend thought that these were the best boneless chicken wings and nachos he had ever had! The restaurant had a great vibe - super sleek but yet really relaxed. So going back! Pros: great food!, big portions!, great vibe more

Good Times Indeed! 5/24/2006

I typically hang out in the East Village or LES and decided to meet a few friends for drinks at Choice before going out. We wound up having such a great time that we stayed the night! The drinks...the food...the people...such fun! Happy that I can now save money on cab fare not having to travel all the way downtown. Well done! Pros: Hot Crowd, Food , Drinks more

had to experience for myself 5/23/2006

After reading reviews about how the owners hyped it themselves i decided for myself. I had some friends in town from Chicago and i decided to take them. The weather was great so we decided to sit by the front window which was a great idea. The drinks were poured perfectly. The service was good but I think we had a new server and she was still learning. We ordered a bunch of appetizers which i thought were prepared perfectly. Only one person ordered a main meal, a hamburger, but it was good. We opted for another drink instead of dessert. The crowd was a good mix and not too loud which we enjoyed. Overall I would go back. Pros: Decor and food more

Food very good, service not so much 5/23/2006

My girlfriend and I came here on a Saturday Night as we were looking for a place in the area to eat. It features a long front bar and seating for about 40-50 people in the back. We came in at 9 p.m. and the dinner area got more crowded as the night went along. The food here is very good (I had the chicken, she had the steak salad) and reasonably priced. However, the service wasn't the best. Our appetizers came out the same time as our entree and our waitress disappeared quite frequently. Beer is reasonably priced (a pint of Coors Light was $5.00). We would probably go back because of the food although if the service remained the same, that might be our last visit. more

Great Brunch 5/21/2006

We went to brunch at Choice this past Sunday and really enjoyed everything. We sat outside and enjoyed a great afternoon. The outside is a little cramped but I guess that's NYC. The food was first rate with a nice selection of omelets, traditional dishes, and some tasty unique entrees (banana stuffed croissant is amazing!). It thought it was also reasonable, includes 2 drinks w/ alcohol. There has been a buzz about this place since opening and I can see why. Very well run, excellent food, and an overall great experience. Our waitress, Carra, and manager Cindy were great. Welcome to the neighborhood, sorely needed! Pros: tasty entrees, outside seating, great staff more

New local find. 5/17/2006

I live across the street next to the Rodeo Bar. My husband and I stopped by Choice on Tuesday evening and were pleasantly surprised. It really is a beautiful place and the staff was great. Very nice crowd, a break from the b&t bars in the 30s. They need to make sure that people know how big the place is and about the huge dining room, from the street you don't get the full atmosphere of the place. We both had drinks and entrees. Food was flawless and probably the best in the area. Nice assortment and variety, I had the potato cod, Jerry the duck breast. Both were great. It was also difficult to find the bathrooms (downstairs), need more signs. Overall a great experience and a welcome to the neighborhood. We will be back. - Diane & Jerry Pros: great food, tredy space, relaxed feel Cons: bathrooms downstairs more

Murray Hill Gem! 5/14/2006

Prior to Choice opening, there were limited places for a nice meal, no ear piercing music and a good time. I quickly grew tired of the fondue place and the cafe bar, nice but boring and the food was miserable. My co-workers and I went to Choice on Wednesday for their martini night. Katie & Rich (the managers) were great to my group. The appetizers are delicious! goat cheese tapas, Asian dumplings, Brazilian skewers, lemon shrimp and baby back ribs! The martini selection was FUN! We tried all of them. On the receipt it asked to review the place on Citysearch, and I am doing just that. Beautiful place, great staff, no attitude, fun tunes, and an amazing menu (a true gem)Thanks for a great night out, you have a beautiful place, great staff and really know what you are doing! - Thanks Jenny & Mutual of America Group more

Finally somethign nice on the hill! 5/14/2006

Apparently, Choice opened this last week. I went to Choice this past Friday for dinner with friends. It is the same owner as the Uptown Restaurant (which I frequent alot). As a resident in the neighborhood, It is a HUGE asset to have a nice classy place like this in the area. I am sooo sick of the run of the mill frat bars and ""higher end Park Avenue"" fare at crazy prices and so-so fare. The food is superb and very reasonably priced. Great selections of boutique wines (loved the Oregon Hahn PN), martini's, and specialty drinks. The space is beautifully designed, very high end but comfortable. Exposed brick, fireplace, very open and an alive vibe. For a first time visit, I was very impressed and you will see us again. Best of luck and keep it nice! Pros: beautiful space, great food, nice staff more

Don't waste your time 5/13/2006

Was @ Choice for it's opening night, and was not impressed AT ALL. Yes, the decor is trendy, warm, and inviting, however the scence does not override everything else that sucked. The seating arrangements were too tight and cramped. The waitress was not only slow, but screwed up our order (5 appetizers only) by forgetting one of our appetizers and the condiments for the nachos, as well as overcharging on the bill. Food presentation was sub-par (I've seen better plates at TGI Fridays), taste was bland, and I was so ready to leave once the meal was over. The menu is pretty extensive though. Overall, it's not worth it. Pros: Decor is trendy, Decent menu choices Cons: Slow & crappy service, Flavorless food, Too noisy more

Perfect 5/12/2006

Choice restaurant was the ideal place for me and my friends to gather after work. The service was attentive and friendly, the drinks were amazing, and the food was superb. The entire feel of the restaurant made me feel like I was a regular patron. It is a great place to meet for dinner, drinks, or to watch a game at the bar. more

WOW - What a nice place 5/11/2006

I went there with a few business associates the other night for dinner and drinks. We all had a great time. This place is amazing. There is nothing like it in the area. The food was top notch. I don't know where they got the chef from, but this isn't anything like what I expected. I will go back 110%. Its a great place to kick back and hang out with either business or friends or even a date. The decor is nice, the staff and service was also top notch. I have no problem recommending this place to anyone. Pros: Food, decor, service more
