The whole experience was effortless. Table was easy to book, even though we are not based in the States. We arrived early and were told we could wait at the bar. We were served quickly even though the bar was very busy. We had a text to tell us the table was ready. On arriving at our table a member of staff gave my husband a birthday card as I had stated this when I booked. What a lovely touch. We had seen an item on the bar menu that wasn't on the restaurant menu but we were told we could still order it. The food as always was fantastic. All the staff went above and beyond. We always go here whenever we are in New York and recommend to anyone we know who is going. No one has ever been disappointed.

My boyfriend and I had the best time at 16 Prospect last night! Joe Regan lead an open mic that was fantastic! I sang along with some amazing vocalists and the place was so festive and lively. It was an awesome night. The food and drinks were delicious. The servers were attentive and cheerful. It was so much fun.
