Corner Bar

Love it. Everything about it-- burger is phenomenal, great service and ambience. Steak tartar is a must-try as well.

Solid 3.5-4 stars.

Despite the fat not being more rendered on the duck, it was still delicious.

The crème brûlée is silky and smooth, with a nice sugar brûlée crust.

I also got the shrimp cocktail which is just okay. Not nearly as juicy and plump as other places.

They're very attentive and nice, plus the restaurant is pretty!

Attempted to come here for breakfast before work while traveling. Got told to pick a seat. Only 5 other tables were taken and they seemed to know to grab coffee and pastries on their own. I wanted something else. Sat and waited 15 min and the server didn't ever come over, so I left.

I ate here on a Thursday night and the service was subpar. We had several different waiters through out the night who weren't on the same page. Then I got food poisoning from the food, the trout made me sick. It wasn't properly cook or fresh. I was sick the entire next day. Then the waiter didn't follow our instructions for splitting the bill. It wasn't up to the hype.

Way too over priced for what it is. But the Pomodora pasta is delic! The wine pours are super weak, & the wine list is really pricey. Very average dining experience, you don't need to add it to your list. The service isn't very good either.

Had very high expectations for Corner Bar. My friends highly recommended the food service and ambiance. Not sure if brunch is just different from my friends dinner experience. The place seems disorganized -- we had to wait ~20mins past our reservation time for the table; there just seems to be some confusion about dishes/organization at the bar where food comes out; and lastly, food was also slow. Portions are small so make sure you order extra sides.

I'm a bit fan of Estela so pretty disappointed with my overall experience here...

I grew up in this neighborhood and this building was always under scaffolding for at least the last 10 years. So what a surprise when it finally came down and it was a hotel! Truthfully this place was good but overpriced. Service was good and the place is nice.

We came here looking for the shrimp cocktail and the steak au poivre. To our surprise neither was on the menu anymore. So we went with the fruit de mer and the steak special of the day which was a chargrilled ribeye.

The seafood platter was delicious and fresh. Great oysters as mussels. The steak was a bit too charred and the rosemary was a bit too overpowering. But overall it was good. The fries were delicious.

We ending the night with the pineapple sorbet which tastes like a fancy Dole Whip.

Overall the place is a bit overpriced for what it is but there was nothing inherently wrong. Would I come back? Probably just for the sorbet and cocktails. For the price point, I've had better elsewhere and that's ultimately what it comes down to.

Last week, my Partner and I dined for the first time at Corner Bar. It was a delightful experience. This cozy restaurant truly is a gem of classic cuisine, with a warm, classy, and intimate environment that made it seem like a private meal.

The highlight of my meal was the Diver's Scallop, which was expertly prepared and delicious. Clearly, the Corner Bar chefs take pride in using only the finest ingredients and preparing each dish with care.

I highly recommend Corner Bar to anyone looking for a wonderful meal in a comfortable and elegant atmosphere. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a pre-drinks dinner with close friends, this restaurant will soon become your go-to in the Lower East Side. I look forward to going back soon and trying more of their menu.

This was excellent. First visit, we got the oysters rockefeller, beets, spaghetti pomodoro, bolognese, steak au poivre, french fries, sorbet, and profiterole.

Everything was great, with the pomodoro being the surprise star of the night (it was a last minute add for us) -- it was really amazing, despite the time of year, and I think the sauce was a cheesier sauce that had some thickness to it, which we really loved. The oysters and profiterole are probably also musts for next time, but really every dish was excellent.

I think the current star average does not do this restaurant justice, but it is probably a result of the low number of reviews thus far! I had the opportunity to visit with some friends and tried most items on the menu. The overall consensus was that while the menu was not very creative, all dishes were executed to a high level with delicious results, which warrants a 5 star review!

Standouts include the steak, the chicken entree (best chicken dish I have had since Crown Shy), and the foie gras. The service was also attentive, which the servers taking care to properly course out everything ordered with good pacing.

One hiccup was that the restaurants ordering software glitched out and the bar did not get our drink orders until much later into the meal, which was frustrating but I think was not the restaurant's fault (although it did happen to other tables too from overhearing). Other note is that the pricing is definitely not cheap, so probably better for a special occassion or night out!

Corner Bar is fabulous. My only complaint is that it isn't on my corner! Corner Bar is the latest effort by star chef Ignacio Mattos of Estela. Once again he has created a wonderful restaurant and a great dining experience. Corner Bar is ostensibly the hotel restaurant inside Nine Orchard, but it really is so much more. Classic food is brought alive by an amazing culinary team. The cocktails, wine list and service are all excellent as well.
