Great spot for upscale American fare in a slightly trendy meets old school atmosphere. The cocktails are great and food is good. Ice cream sundae is a great treat (you check off what toppings you'd like while ordering). Not a difficult reservation to get and service is usually decent!

Not going to lie I was stoked to eat here and the food did not disappoint. This place gets booked up quick every night of the week so be sure to get a reservation ahead of time. The inside of the place is also insanely quaint and just an overall great vibe. I would highly recommend if in the area. We got 4 total dishes ordered the burger but the salmon and the chicken also came out tasty. Cheers!

Sat at the bar w my friend and had so many glasses of wine and an amazing salad w fries. It's beautiful inside but they also offer outdoor seating. I'll be dreaming about that salad for a while.

At American Bar, comfort food meets sophistication. The French onion soup was a rich, warm starter that set the tone for an exceptional meal. The main course--king salmon with crispy skin--paired beautifully with velvety whipped potatoes and perfectly cooked haricot vert. Each dish was executed with precision, creating a harmonious balance of flavors, making this a must-visit for those seeking a cozy yet refined dining experience.

A group of 6 of us came at noon and who knew American Bar is a VIBE for lunch. Ambiance was almost better at lunch, I don't know what it was. I ordered the espresso martini as I know they're GAS here, but immediately regretted it when I tasted someone else's breakfast martini. The fusion of Tito's, Orange Marmalade, and lemon had me feeling like I was sitting on the beach in the South of Italy under a striped umbrella just enjoying my existence. Not Positano though, it gets too crowded. We started with pigs in a blanket and they were straight heat, as they almost always are. They are undebatably one of the most underrated appetizers in the game. Pigs in a blanket gotta be 6th man of the year... The 3 of you that consistently read my reviews know that I'm on a quest to find the best steak frites in the city, so when I seen it on the menu I had to pull the trigger. The 8oz hanger steak came with maitre'd butter and some well done thin fries. Not steak sauce on top thank GOD. When a steak comes with steak sauce, one can't help but wonder what they are hiding. What you scared of? Let that steak be eaten for what it is. The steak came medium rare and was cooked PERFECTLY. Fries were good to but to be honest I am a sucker for some thick cut fries or shoestring fries. One extreme or the other... that's personal preference though. I mean everything kind of a personal preference ahahha. We got the check and headed to the Spaniard as one does after a meal in the West Village. All in all, I have it ranked 3rd on my NYC steak frites ranking behind Virginia's and Pastis. I've only tried like 8 though ahahaha they be expensive. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Make a reservation for dinner - it gets crowded! We had a reservation dinner for an early meal at 5 on a Sunday and the restaurant filled up quickly. The ambiance is dark - but really nice for an intimate meal. The decor is very pretty and they had beautiful menus. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, which was delicious - it had plenty of artichokes in it. The crispy brussels are also a nice add for veggies. The classic burger was so delicious - it was juicy and flavorful. The fries were also perfectly crispy. Overall great meal, lots of good looking menu items!
