West Bank Cafe

Went to the reopening of West Bank since being bought by new owners and Broadway producers Tom and Michael D’Angora - and somehow it’s even better than it was before!! Obsessed with their spaghetti with meatballs, Tom’s grandfather’s recipe, craving it now. Also loved the homemade hot fudge sundae and the signature rice balls. Cannot wait to come back - such a welcoming, jovial vibe. 5 stars!!!!

West Bank Cafe is an NYC Broadway institution. The is delicious, the atmosphere vibrant and filled with broadway celebrities. The drinks are perfectly made and the wine list is young but complimented the food. Service staff is always out to make sure your experience is a great one. Definitely a must visit place. A taste of old Broadway!

This isn't just a good place to eat. It's also a fun place to eat. They catered to the theater crowd and time your dinner accordingly. Many of the waiters and waitresses are Broadway actors or theatre workers. They are all very welcoming and hospitable. The food is high-quality and served very well. The dining room is very nice with lemon tablecloths and perfect lighting.

Today was my first time visiting West Bank Café, and I had the best experience ever! The staff and service were fantastic, and the owner greeted us as soon as we arrived. It’s in a great location, right in the heart of Manhattan. The restaurant is also LGBTQ+ friendly, which made me fall in love with the atmosphere even more. There’s even a parking garage next to the restaurant, which is perfect if you’re a commuter. I would definitely eat here again. Best wishes to Tom and Michael — bravo!

My husband, good friend, and I all went to the West Bank Café. My husband ordered Pan seared Atlantic Salmon. Our friend ordered the Shrimp Scampi and Butterscotch Toffee Parfait, and I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. The food was absolutely delicious! The Eggplant Parmesan was the absolute BEST that I have EVER had!! We are all coming back again tomorrow!

Went for brunch with a friend who had the eggs Benedict. I thought his eggs Benedict was better than the avocado toast I ordered, which was very average. We also shared the risotto ball hash, which was also pretty good. Overall I guess food was a fair 4 ⭐ even though I was underwhelmed by my avocado toast, which was fairly basic, lacking imagination and flavor. Service and atmosphere were good. Apparently there is a little “theatre” space downstairs that could host comedy shows and the like.

Absolutely recommend! The food is amazing. Try the chicken barley soup. It is so delicious! Friendly, professional service and a very cool theater experience downstairs. Cool NYC theater scene! Bravo to the staff and new owners
