Standard American food. Excellent branzino, not very good chicken and burger. Efficient service, and low noise in the back room.

We had a wonderful experience at The Ribbon. We had the pleasure of having Luna who made wonderful recommendations when we mentioned someone had a dairy allergy. The great food, great service, and great drinks! The ambience was nicely done and didn’t feel stuffy as some NYC venues can be. Highly recommend!

The Ribbon is a neighborhood gem. It's not a steakhouse, but the three steak dishes on the menu are outstanding. The rest of the menu is eclectic and excellent. The brunch menu is first rate, too.

They put us in the back room where there was no one else dining!!! Empty and depressing. We could have been put in the main room somehow even at the community high top. My short ribs were so dry you couldn’t put enough gravy on to make them moist. Have been there many times but this time very disappointing!!!!!

I appreciated that we were able to easily get a table, but the menu is hit or miss. My Cesar salad was very good. I love when a Caesar has a deep chill and it did! The French dip sandwich was good, not great. The pork chop and baked meatballs were not quality meat and possible frozen. My daughters ordered dessert and the chocolate Chip bread pudding was INCREDIBLE, so yummy…but the Ice Cream sundae went mostly untouched. It was a big sundae but was overwhelmed by whip cream and not Much else. Service was good, decor well done but it was not freezing outside and the restaurant heat was cranked up so high we were pretty uncomfortable and the staff was sweating.
