The Press Box Pub - New York

I visited this restaurant with my family for an early evening dinner during the holiday week. The food was great, the beer was priced as happy hour, and there was something for everyone on the menu.

The restaurant was close and had a last minute reservation for 6, but we were pleasantly surprised. The burgers were really well cooked (actually pink when we asked for medium).

The service was excellent, but some people in our group were not satisfied with their meals, even though they ordered the same dishes we had enjoyed during our previous visit.

We unfortunately visited the restaurant late on a Sunday afternoon expecting a quiet meal, but ended up surrounded by loud football games and noisy patrons. Even sitting in the back away from the bar, the noise level was overwhelming due to multiple giant TV screens and speakers. I was concerned for the hearing health of the staff. While we did enjoy the food, I would caution others to be prepared for a noisy dining experience.

I had the Pat La Frieda Burger. and it was excellent. My wife had the chicken cobb salad, wish was good (chicken was moist, not dried out, etc) except the chicken was coated with rosemary, which she does not like. We were early, around 6 pm, and it was not too noisy. Will definitely return.
