    Don't expect the ambiance of the other Friedman's locations. This has singer waiters and the volume is ear-splitting. It also means that the wait staff tries to rush you in and out. Our appetizer was barely on the table before our entrees were also slapped down. Then 5 minutes into eating our entrees, the waitress came over with the menu and asked whether we wanted dessert. Our experience was not unique as the young mother and daughter at the next table were also rushed. They were obviously still eating their entrees when they were pressured to order dessert, and it came out and was crowded onto their table with their entree plates. Meatleaf was super dry and tough. Korean BBQ wings are very tasty. Carrot cake dessert was quite good. After complaining, about being rushed, we were comped our dessert and coffee. Will not be returning.

    Excellent place for pre-theater lunch. Food was vary good and moderately priced. Service was exemplary. It was a bit noisy for easy conversation but all in all, it was a great lunch.

    Phenomal atmosphere! Food was decent, but the atmosphere was on another level. Better than other "Singing servers" establishments in NYC.

    Friedmans is always our go-to place when we’re seeing a Broadway show and it’s a sure win every time!
