Story

Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian brings his vision of a contemporary New York grand café to life at The National Bar & Dining Rooms. Housed in the same 1927 Emery Roth-designed building as The Benjamin Hotel, The National's all-occasion modern bistro offerings satiate guests from breakfast through late night. Modeled after the celebrated grand cafés in Europe, The National is both residential and metropolitan in design and offers thoughtful details such as antiqued mirrors, a bronze spiral staircase, distressed peacock blue and chocolate leather banquettes, classic marble table tops, and black and white glazed-tile flooring.

Each Sunday evening from 6pm to 10pm, The National features a lineup of New York City bands performing an array of musical selections such as classic jazz, funk, blues, and more.

We came here for dinner. Nice ambience. The mussels appetizer was amazing. The short ribs were excellent. The burger was nothing special. Wine was excellent. Service was great.

Pricey but breakfast was excellent! Pancakes with blueberries and almonds was served with generous amount of warm maple syrup on the side. Four personal sized bottles of jams accompanied toast for my egg white omelette with salad. Delicious! Coffee is expensive- $12 a pot for two but served with steamed milk on the side. Service was also excellent. Compared with other restaurants in the area, prices are not so bad and food is much better than our other experiences. Definitely would comeback here! Would give five stars for quality but dropped one star for price!

We had an excellent meal here during restaurant week. Entree choices were nraised short ribs or branzino or half chicken. Everyone enjoyed the food. They were amazingly accommodating as our host changed our guest count from 2 to 3 to 10 to 6 finally. They were super nice about it.

Excellent selection of wines, meat and fish with views and a full bar. Service was reliable and the atmosphere was casual/cozy. This is a family - friendly restaurant which made for a noisier experience.

This restaurant is right around the corner from our office. We went for dinner one night with our client and she loved it. Everything was really good and the atmosphere was great.
