Amazing deal and they refilled bottomless brunch glasses before you could even ask! And you can switch between bottomless drinks! Also amazing space and great service! By far the best!!!

Sandy Gould

West Bank Cafe is intimate; has a Broadway flavor (pun intended); great service; excellent food; populated by theatre clientele.

Alyssa Bowlby

The $15 bottomless brunch is insane. Also, the staff is really funny and kind and interesting to talk to. And there are always great conversations to be had at the bar with whomever happens to sit down next to you!

Michael Ritz

The amazing vibe... you're always greeted like a member of the family!

Michael Hennes

Warm, friendly staff, great bottomless drinks and good food.

Sharon Anderson

The food is always delicious. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. We are from out of town, but always make sure to reserve brunch at the West Bank Cafe when making our plans. Best brunch spot in NYC!

Holly Peppe

Everything is delicious!! Fried calamari, eggs Benedict, Brioche French toast— you can’t go wrong! I love their lunch and dinner menus also—a favorite restaurant for many years!

Wayne Kennedy

Yummy, yummy lemon ricotta pancakes and more. Plus fun and caring staff make for a great vibe!

Wonderful food, great ambiance and the bottomless Bloody Marys can't be beaten.

The West Bank Cafe is an essential gathering place for the theatre community and I am so grateful to its new owners, Tom and Michael D’Angora, and its former owner Steve Olsen, for making it such a home for so many!

Janet Restino

Such a welcoming historic and legendary restaurant that must survive! It should be landmarked! The first show I saw there was Joan Rivers in the Laurie Beechman Theatre downstairs — front row seat. Delicious food and drinks, happy staff. You’ll never know who you'll run into there — besides the illustrious Steve Olsen, of course!

Lillian Colón

The food is excellent and the ambiance is cozy and theatrical. It was Chita Rivera’s favorite neighborhood place. I would often see her there. This past Thanksgiving, she was there with her family. We spoke and toasted the holiday, and that was the last time I saw her. As usual, she was supportive and full of life. Steve, the owner, is a nice man and wonderful restaurateur. The Laurie Beechman Theater downstairs is where I celebrated my 50th birthday. One day I’ll book it again and perform my one-woman show there…Hey Steve, wink wink.

It’s an iconic staple of the neighborhood as well as the theater community! The staff, the warmth, the amazing wine selection and the fresh food. It also serves as a regular coffee klatch and meeting place for many performers of TV, stage and screen.

Owner Steve Olsen is the Saint of Hell’s Kitchen. Don’t know what we’d do without him. He treats everyone like family. The food is fantastic and the ambiance is so beautiful and comfortable.

West Bank has a lively atmosphere and excellent food. I like their Caesar salad and salmon a lot. It is right around the corner, so very convenient for me.

The West Bank Café is the perfect pre-theatre dinner choice. It’s equidistance to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway, and cabaret. They are famous for their risotto balls, but my favorite thing on the menu is their chicken Caesar salad (unless the pork chop is on the specials). Best Aperol Spritz in the city. They have a ridiculous happy hour at the bar and a great staff all around. I will always have a special place in my heart for the West Bank Café because Steve and Janet, the owners, went out of their way to bring cabaret back IN PERSON to New York during the pandemic. As soon as restaurants were allowed to reopen with outdoor dining, they brought their piano from the downstairs cabaret venue, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, rolled it up to the window and provided live entertainment for their customers. They not only provided gigs for all of us out-of-work entertainers, but they fed us too! I was honored to be a part of their talent roster…and because of them providing us with these opportunities, my friends Michael Garin & Mardie Millit and I became eligible and even won MAC Awards for our appearances there during the pandemic.

Michael D'Angora

West Bank Cafe is THE PLACE in HK. End of story. The food is great and reasonably priced. The ambience is warm and inviting. Casually upscale. You will see EVERYONE from the neighborhood there. And Steve and Janet treat everyone like family.

Brent Watkins

Steve (the owner) is a big fan of the perfect burger and has been researching and working on this menu item for years. It is the Classic Perfect Burger: great quality of products, perfect portion sizes, perfectly prepared.

Stan Friedman

There was nothing better than the burger and a cold beer, post-theater. Will have to settle for two out of three for now

Semih Sogutlu

This is one of the few theater restaurants in the city and everyone is incredibly nice. Food is amazing and affordable as well.

Calvin Liu

The lemon ricotta pancakes and the bottomless brunch!
