Bar Angie

Came on a Saturday night shortly after they opened with a reservation on Open Table (took me a few to figure out what platform they use). We were seated right away and while the dining area is a bit tight, it wasn’t as bad as some restaurants. Had a couple of cocktails, the two martinis we tried were good as was the smoke show (an old fashioned with table side smoke) and the el Diablo (spicy but in a good way). For food we started with the Angie Caesar which was great. I don’t know why I’ve never had deep fried cream cheese with a Caesar salad but it works. Then we split the pork chop which is very thing but huge. It was really good, well flavored and seasoned but could have used a side of carbs to balance the meat (not that you need more food!). The jalapeños on top were a nice touch. We also shared the Bolognese Blanc which was delicious and very much a comfort food. It’s light and not super heavy but good flavor. Definitely want to come back and try the French dip and the burger which both looked good on other tables! The bar area looked super cute and if I lived/worked in the neighborhood it would be a good place to grab a drink and snack after work for sure. They also have an outdoor patio which will be perfect if the weather ever cooperates. As we were leaving around 7:30 it was starting to get packed so definitely recommend reservations if you’re coming during a busy time.

Recently visited for the Sunday brunch menu. The restaurant is located below an office building and the front feels like the entry to a NY cafe/bistro. Once inside I was promptly seated in the front interior dining room. The decor is like a chic Parisian cafe and full restaurant the noise level is moderate. I found the interior to be very dim even for an early afternoon (some light does come from front windows). There is bar seating as well. The brunch menu has brunch staple infused with French cuisine. I had the Bolognese blanco which was a great portion size for brunch and was a different take on traditional bolognese. It didn’t as appealing but definitely tasted great, warm, and hearty. The Hugo Spritz was the perfect refreshing and light cocktail for a spring day. The service was great with the entire team in conjunction with our dedicated server checking on the table refreshing drinks and clearing dishes. Would visit again for brunch and looking forward to visiting for dinner/drinks to experience the live music and dinner menu. There is paid street parking. $$

Went on a Thursday night and had a wonderful experience. Food and drinks were great - we got the Angie’s Dirty Duo (Martini with vodka) and it came with the olives stuffed with feta (loveddd). The lobster rolls with caviar were so worth the cost. The shrimp salad, white clam pizzelles, and moules frites were delicious too!

A Resplendent DC Gem: Bar Angie Delivers an Unforgettable Experience This review is admittedly overdue, but its tardiness in no way reflects the timeless and truly exceptional experience we had at the newly opened Bar Angie. From the moment we stepped through its doors, it was clear that this establishment is poised to become a quintessential DC destination. The ambiance of Bar Angie is nothing short of captivating. The decor expertly conjures the sophisticated allure of a chic New York City lounge or a classic martini bar – refined, inviting, and with just the right touch of intimate luxury. It manages to feel expansive enough to breathe, yet perfectly proportioned to ensure every dining experience feels personal and exclusive. What truly elevates Bar Angie, however, is its extraordinary team. It was a genuine delight to encounter several familiar, welcoming faces from previous memorable evenings at Balos, a testament to the consistency of excellence within this restaurant group. At the forefront of this remarkable hospitality is Mike, whose effortless grace and attentiveness are second to none. His ability to engage with every guest, making each individual feel genuinely cared for and part of the Bar Angie family, is a rare and highly commendable talent. And then there is Shannon, the undeniable maestro behind the curtain, orchestrating every intricate detail with unparalleled precision and foresight. Even in her physical absence during our visit, her meticulous planning and seamless execution ensured that every element, from our arrival to the flow of our evening, was flawlessly coordinated. Shannon possesses a truly prodigious talent for hospitality; she is the gravitational center, the brilliant mind, and the beating heart of this entire restaurant group's operational brilliance. Her dedication to curating an exceptional guest journey is palpable in every refined touch and perfect transition. Chef Alex proves, yet again, that his culinary touch transforms ingredients into pure artistry. While he may be in the exciting phase of perfecting certain dishes, every plate that emerged from his kitchen that evening was a testament to his undeniable skill and creative vision. We savored each offering, but the undisputed star of the show was the Crab Wontons. Their powerful, exquisite crunch gave way to a perfectly hot, sumptuously creamy filling – an utterly flawless bite. And that dipping sauce? It is quite simply divine. It should be bottled and sold by the large jar; it's that remarkable. Alex himself is a force of nature – charismatic, suave, and possessing an infectious passion for his craft that shines through in every interaction. He is unequivocally one of the brightest stars of this establishment, ensuring that the culinary experience is as dynamic and captivating as the man himself. Bar Angie is more than just a new venue; it's a meticulously crafted experience. I am already eager to return, not only to impress clients with its sophisticated charm during lunch but also to share its delightful brunch offerings with my mom. Without a doubt, Bar Angie is the place to be in DC.

We loved our attention at Bar Angie’s. Manager Burak was so great! He was so kind and nice as we were celebrating our birthdays! Loves this place! Highly recommend it on the DC Area.

My friend and I had the most delightful evening yesterday at Bar Angie. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were balanced to perfection. However, what made the experience truly memorable was the service. We were lucky enough to spend our time with our server, Mufti, who went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was exceptional and that our celebratory evening was made memorable. I would return to Bar Angie for his service alone. Can't wait to return.

Felt like I was instantly in NYC as soon as I walked in. The servers are so attentive and friendly, the decor feels elegant yet homey at the same time. The crab Rangoon was so fresh and flavorful. Excited to spend some summer nights here :)

A well-curated space with food that feels both current and comforting. The pace, the plating, the playlist—it all just works. Nothing felt rushed or overdone. It’s the kind of place you remember for how it made you feel, not just what you ate.

Great vibe here at Angies. Staff are welcoming and pleasant. Crab rangoons are a must try. Server was very knowledgeable and made several suggestions for drinks, apps, entrees and even wine. They have a chateaneuaf-du-pape that the server recommended. He decanted and served in proper wine glasses. Made excellent dessert recommendations and even offered coffees and teas. Well done moostif.

This is a stylish and welcoming restaurant with plenty of both patio and indoor seating. The decor is fun and creative, featuring polaroids, drink-themed art, and some cool, moody pieces that add a nice touch to the overall vibe. We came for brunch and really enjoyed the atmosphere. There were several groups around us, but it never got too loud--it had a nice, relaxed energy. The food and drinks were great! I especially liked the pepperoni pizza and the espresso martini. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. I'd definitely recommend this place for brunch, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try it for dinner as well!

Had a great lunch here this week! The weather was randomly nice so even though I'd reserved a seat inside, we opted to sit on the patio. It was quiet and very pretty. Our waiter (I think his name was Gabriel??) was amazing!! He made some great recommendations and was very attentive. I love that they bring you a whole tray of additions for your water (I opted for lemon and cucumber). We started with the Wagyu in a Blanket, which was like a fancy pig in a blanket. I was impressed with the flavor and the dipping sauces. The blue crab Rangoon was also delicious although I wish the filling had been seasoned more. My friend and I decided to split the burger and the Caesar salad and were so delighted when they actually brought them out pre-split on small plates so we didn't have to do it ourselves! Highly recommend for that reason alone. The burger was absolutely amazing and the crispy cream cheese on the Caesar salad is a must try My only real complaint is that the menu is a bit pricey for what it is.

Love the vibe of this spot and this area certainly needs a good gathering spot. That said, the hard surfaces and relatively low ceiling make the dining room and bar area VERY loud. Our server was really kind and attentive, offering suggestions and making the night fun. Also love the attention to detail, such as trays overflowing with add-ins for your water like sliced citrus and cucumber. Menu was classic, dishes themselves were okay. I enjoyed the linguine with clams! Prepare to shell out for cocktails - yes even by "DC standards." Would come back for a catch up drink and a bite with friends at the bar.

The vibe in Bar Angie is pretty elite. Lots of fun in an atmosphere with cool decor, lots of chatter, and a band playing. We enjoyed when they had table service putting lemons and limes in your water upon request; however, that is when the service stopped. After that, we never saw our waiter for soooooo long. It was insanely slow. We tried the Kalamata olive martini- SO BAD. Don't get that. We got the flatbread, which was more like a regular pizza (not very flat). We had the caesar salad, a pasta dish, and the steak frites and they were fine. Nothing to rave about and everything needed more salt. Not rushing to come back.

Bar Angie is a brand new bar that opened just outside of DuPont circle. I ventured here on a Friday evening for happy hour and it didn't disappoint. From the same owners of Balos, this bar provides some of the same cocktails like the Dirty Greek Martini but it also has its own variety of libations. They have a full bar, so they can make you any beverage your heart desires. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We sat directly at the bar and were taken care of for the entirety of our stay. We ordered the Tuna Crudo and Burrata Pizzellie. The crudo was very fresh and the pizzellie was quite large. We felt so full after that we ended up not ordering more food, but I definitely saw several dishes that I want to try when I return. While a cocktail is on the higher price point end, you will definitely not be disappointed with your experience. I look forward to returning again, thank you for a great evening!

trying out the NEW @barangie.dc in west end, washington, dc feat. their LOBSTER & CAVIAR ROLL with Maine lobster salad, celery remoulade, sold by the piece (~$20 a bite but worth every penny --- and unfortunately, the only stand out of the night), BLUE CRAB RANGOON MD with blue crab, cream cheese, sweet chili sauce (rlly good, but nothing special at all for the price), and ANGIE CAESAR with crispy cream cheese, everything bagel croutons, parmigiano was just a caesar salad for our mains, this is when the dining experience went downhill. after ~1hr wait btween the apps and the entrees, we shared the ANGIE BURGER --- which we asked to be cut upon serving (clearly not split though) feat. double patty smash, american cheese, red onion, pickles, house fries, the STEAK FRITES herb roasted, maître d' butter, pommes frites, was served without the Au Poivre sauce we had ordered :(, and last, we ordered the LITTLE NECK linguine, little neck clams, white wine, parsley, garlic (the kitchen had a mix up so here's their BOLOGNAISE BLANC instead) considering the long service time and that all the entrees came out incorrectly to some degree I'm not sure if I'd recommend you come here for anything besides the overpriced bite of lobster roll --- and while the waiters and staff were apologetic they were overbearing and offering us additional food rather than comping for their mistakes

We had the best time at Bar Angie for happy hour. Mufti was our server and he made sure we always had drinks in our hands, and gave excellent recommendations. The Caesar salad dressing is one of the better in the city, perfectly acidic to creamy and anchovy forward. The pistachio semifreddo reminds me of some of the best pistachio gelato I've had. Highly recommend Bar Angie and Mufti for any girls night!

Loved the girl dinner happy hour and martini royale. Mufti was the most incredible server and took care of us and gave us the best recommendations when it came to drinks, food, and dessert.

Very overpriced for what it was. Food was just okay and the drinks were good but they are $22-24 which is just ridiculous. We got a side of fries which was like 2 handfuls of fries and they were $15! Service was a bit slow. I know this is the hot spot right now but not sure if I would go back.

This new spot in West End is definitely aspiring to be like the NYC fan favorite, the Corner Store. The inside is very NYC esque with a large outdoor patio that reminds me of something at Reston Town Center. Front desk staff seated us quickly wi try a reservation but this place definitely seems to require a reservation. The indoors is quite loud like people report and they only see to have 3 individual restrooms, which I found small for a restaurant their size. Live music was pretty good. One of my favorite parts of the spot was the option for fruit for your water and the constant refills of water- I've never seen such attention to detail to keep waters filled. All the cocktails were NYC priced as well $21-$28- you'll easily spend $100 just on drinks alone. The espresso martini was fantastic, very coffee tasting. My first cocktail had kalmata olives stuffed with feta and hit that salty martini vibe I loved. We got one smoked drink and they light it at the table but they kept getting little pieces of lighted ash on the table- feel like it's a fire waiting to happen so bringing it to the table already smoked can have a safer result. We didn't have too many service issues but sometimes they were quick with drinks and other times slow. Our waitress was kind and attentive so that's all I can ask for. Food wise: we got the blue crab Rangoon and Caesar salad to start. The blue crab Rangoon was plentiful but they were very cream cheese forward (and I love cream cheese). You could taste an essence of crab but no real pieces- for $29 I want to be able to find a chunk of crab meat you'd think? The salad was tasty but an exact dupe for Corner Store. The fried cream cheese was quite cold- not sure if by design but would have at least liked them to feel warm to the touch. For a main we got the pepperoni pizza and that was tasty- tons of topping and almost flatbread like. I think this spot was solid but very pricey at times for what it was. I'm not sure how I'd afford to do many meals here often due to the prices. Nice people watching!

The salad was soggy way too much dressing, chicken was dry, fish had way too much sauce on it. Nice environment to hang out in with friends but I like their other restaurant Balos much better.

Bar Angie has opened up in West End - they're described as a day-to-night bistro infused with European flair! Their menu features a raw bar, various starters, salads, pastas, and entrees. They are also noted in having a nice martini list, too! We tried: +the Onion Soup Gratinee - prepared with beef broth, caramelized onions, and gruyere +Lobster & Caviar Roll - with Maine lobster salad and celery remoulade +Blue Crab Rangoon - with cream cheese, sweet chili sauce, and caviar +Moules Frites - we opted for the white wine garlic; they also have marinara as an option +Baked Clams - with garlic, parsley, butter, and crumbled crouton +the Banana Espresso - with Lobos Tequila, Giffard Bananae du Bresil, and For Five espresso +and, the Lychee Martini - with Casa del Sol Blanco, Lillet Blanc, lime, and lychee puree Staff were friendly and super helpful; the space gives a NY-ish vibe in D.C. Making reservations when they had become available was super easy. +friendly service +fun martinis +easy to make reservations

This was honestly one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I've had in a long time, which is a shame because it's a really cute place inside. There were two problems we had with our time here: (1) The noise level. This is one of the loudest restaurants I've ever been to. It's already pretty noisy inside (it was crowded when we went and the tiled floors don't help), but there was also live music. In theory, this should have been nice, but the speakers were turned up SO loudly that my dining companions and I literally could not hear each other speak even when seated next to each other. I'm not exaggerating that we had to yell to be heard. (2) The service. Our server was great, but the runners were so intrusive- there were at least five people circling the restaurant at all times and they would swoop in literally the second a plate was finished. At one point, a runner took all of our plates and silverware away even though we said we were still eating. We had to tell three different runners we wanted to keep the sauces that came with our French fries, and ultimately had to physically hold the plates to stop them from taking it. It's not a pleasant time when it feels like you literally have to guard your food from getting taken away. The food itself wasn't bad, but it wasn't incredible, either. Our favorite things were the burger, which is a really delicious smash burger, and the blue crab rangoon, which came with Thai sweet chili sauce and was also very good. We liked the French fries a lot, but they were $15 an order, with an extra $4 for three sauces. Understanding that food pricing right now is higher, this still seemed like a crazy price to pay for a small cone of fries. The Angie Caesar was okay, but needed some acidity- the flavor was a little flat. The Martini Royale was a really good take on what you probably know as a p*rn star martini. The Clover Club sounded a bit better on paper than it was- almost half of the drink was egg white foam, which gave the drink kind of an unpleasant flavor. We did like that there's a water service where you can choose your own garnishes for your water (orange, lime, cucumber, etc.)- that was a fun touch. It's nice to have another addition to the bar scene in West End, but I likely wouldn't return, and I really hope changes are made to make the dining experience more pleasant.

This place definitely still needs to iron out a few things. Echoing previous reviews, the noise is a BIG problem. We came on a Wednesday evening and could barely hear each other over the live music and other patrons screaming. There is minimal sound proofing going on as the tile floors make all the sounds bounce around. We were forced to sit outside which meant TONS of bugs. There were a number of occasions where I had to stop a friend talking to pick a bug out of their hair or clothing. I would recommend the restaurant spray the area especially before mosquito season comes! Service inside was quite quick, however, outside we had to wait about 15 minutes for our waiter to be able to order drinks. I personally liked the wait staff coming to refill drinks or provide fruit for my water so frequently because I drink my water quickly and we did not have the issue of clearing that other customers have reported. The drinks were great, were they worth $21? No. I think a reasonable price would be $18 given the area and ingredients. It definitely didn't make me want to order a second, whereas I think it had been $18 I would consider it. The food was also good! We ordered the steak tartare, French fries w/ the works, crab rangoons, and burrata pizza. All were very tasty. I don't think any was reasonably priced even for dc. Overall you're paying a lot for a new trendy aesthetic spot on top of decent quality things which makes it not really worth it. I'd like to revisit this spot in a few months once they settle a bit and hope to see some changes made. OF NOTE: They were completely out of the matchboxes

I thought this place was absolutely wonderful!!! Fantastic food, superb service, and absolutely a place I will now consider a staple place to visit in dc. One of the best cheeseburgers you can find. Really love the elegant, casual, yet refined vibe in bar Angie. Can't wait to visit again. Only item, it is a louder / vibrant bistro ambiance so better for smaller group settings (2-6)

I had the opportunity to dine at Bar Angie on Saturday night with 2 of my friends, and unfortunately am not sure I will be returning. To echo other reviews, the restaurant was incredibly loud (we were yelling to maintain conversation) - it at times felt that they were attempting to squeeze too many guests in such a small space - we were incredibly close to our other tables. Additionally, when ordering cocktails they were out of several items (including their feta stuffed olives), but did not tell us when we ordered our drinks (so it was a surprise we had to ask about after being served our drinks). We ordered the wagyu in a blanket and burger for our meals, and the food was good, just overly expensive for what we were eating. Might return to try their brunch, but would opt to sit outside to avoid the noise.

Bar Angie is the spot to be! Classy NYC inspired establishment serving top notch food and drinks. At 8 pm on a Saturday night, the bar was packed, every table was occupied and live music was playing. The drinks are excellent - I could drink the classic espresso all night, every night. The complimentary bread was also so good, I almost asked to take the loaf to go. My only wish is that the whipped butter was salted. They had to move us to a different table mid meal and because of that inconvenience they really took care of us and made up for it. The hospitality and service were unmatched after that, which was refreshing and very appreciated. The wagyu french dip was the epitome of the sandwich - tender, juicy and flavorful. Also get the fries, even though they are $14 extra dollars. I couldn't stop eating them. The coconut sundae was the perfect end to the meal. I'm honestly not mad at the prices (which are a bit higher than most places in DC) because I left feeling so content, satisfied and taken care of. I will be back!

Terrible drinks and food don't recommend and rude waiters and slow service and the place was empty took 25 mins for them to bring out a coke

This place is a joke (confirmed after my second visit). The martinis, yes delicious. Everything else? It was $28 for this portion of 7 rangoons that claimed to have crab inside but it was straight up cheese

Recently visited for the Sunday brunch menu. The restaurant is located below an office building and the front feels like the entry to a NY cafe/bistro. Once inside I was promptly seated in the front interior dining room. The decor is like a chic Parisian cafe and full restaurant the noise level is moderate. I found the interior to be very dim even for an early afternoon (some light does come from front windows). There is bar seating as well. The brunch menu has brunch staple infused with French cuisine. I had the Bolognese blanco which was a great portion size for brunch and was a different take on traditional bolognese. It didn't as appealing but definitely tasted great, warm, and hearty. The Hugo Spritz was the perfect refreshing and light cocktail for a spring day. The service was great with the entire team in conjunction with our dedicated server checking on the table refreshing drinks and clearing dishes. Would visit again for brunch and looking forward to visiting for dinner/drinks to experience the live music and dinner menu. There is paid street parking. $$

Good Lord. Why would you go when the noise level is 300? Its so loud, it tris too distract from the quality of the food. Plus it's over priced too. The severers are wonderful, but it doesn't excuse a big money grab for poor food.

Came on a Saturday night shortly after they opened with a reservation on Open Table (took me a few to figure out what platform they use). We were seated right away and while the dining area is a bit tight, it wasn't as bad as some restaurants. Had a couple of cocktails, the two martinis we tried were good as was the smoke show (an old fashioned with table side smoke) and the el Diablo (spicy but in a good way).

They also have an outdoor patio which will be perfect if the weather ever cooperates. As we were leaving around 7:30 it was starting to get packed so definitely recommend reservations if you're coming during a busy time.

Beautiful restaurant & great for a night out! Drinks were pretty good! Love how the bread was presented. I ordered the Caesar salad with hanger steak- the steak was excellent, but the salad wasn't anything very special! The fries were tasty and even more so with the special sauces! The profiteroles were a hit and certainly a nice way to end. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. Very expensive, but definitely a great experience.

Ate here with my husband, daughter and son-in-law. We would not go back, so many other excellent food choices in DC in this price range.

Had a reservation for 7pm, we got there at 6:55pm and we were told at 7pm that the table would be ready shortly - our hostess pointing at a table that was being cleared. Right after that happened another party came in, skipped the hostess, and sat down at the table which the hostess had verified was being prepared for us. I asked the hostess what happened and she shrugged and said it was the owner and she couldn't do anything. We were finally seated at 7:25pm, with no further explanations or updates. Food was okay, drinks were fine, service staff were nice - just a really weird, unprofessional, and entitled owner. The exact opposite experience I would have expected at a place in this price point.

I enjoyed the atmosphere. I showed up without a reservation and the place was busy on a Friday night, so I hit the bar and found a seat. The drinks were excellent, and the bar area was festive. I ordered the halibut Milanese and the Angie Caesar. The halibut was perfectly cut and a good portion with an arugula salad and burre blanc. The salad was good as well and featured everything bagel croutons. I added shrimp to the salad and they were grilled nicely and complimented the salad well. I would definitely take a date there.

I came here three days ago and the food was very good and worth your money. And the server was so nice and friendly but the hostess was giving us a bad look thinking that we can't afford to eat there. She was looking at me and bf dirty. But overall the restaurant is very good

Awesome food and service and shoutout to Joe! The Lobster Roll and oysters were all delicious

The food was definitely overpriced. The drinks were okay - I would only recommend the clover club. What bothered me the most was the noise level, it was so loud in there & not the good kind of loud. I could not hear the person I was with on multiple occasions & it was super unfortunate.

Gosh.....open for three months now and still don't have it together. The waitress was aggressive and pushy and tried to get is to order everything all at once...no. that's not how this works. The claim is that they are Mediterranean cuisine, yet everything on the menu is French. Further, the food is mediocre at best and way overpriced.....even more than Le Dip, and no where near as good. $24 for 6 escargot is bananas. My other half ordered the pork chop, and some one in the kitchen decided that it'd be a great idea to pound a beautiful chop to about 1/4" thick and pan fry it. It was tuff, and difficult to eat. I had the chicken paillard and it was basically a couple pieces of dried out grilled chicken breast on some mashed potatoes with a side green salad. So dry and overcooked that I couldn't eat but part of one piece. This place is not gonna make it. For these ridiculous prices people expect more. I've been here twice......first and last.

Shiny New, Still Finding Its Footing This newly opened French bistro clearly aims to be the next "it" spot--but for now, it's all shine and little substance. While the food holds its own (classic bistro fare, no surprises), the service left a lot to be desired. Our evening started with oysters, an app, and a bottle of wine--but ten minutes later, only the appetizer showed up. Servers were constantly moving but never seemed to land at our table. When we finally flagged ours down, she said the wine was out, offered no suggestions, and asked simply, "What else do you want?" We ordered another (thankfully we know our way around French wine), only for her to return with the original bottle we'd ordered. Confused yet? Entrees rolled out one by one with 15-minute gaps between them, and when we asked if we could eat together, we were met with, "That's just how it is." For utensils, we had to chase down yet another staff member. With what felt like a dozen servers buzzing around, it's shocking how overlooked we felt. It's clear the front of house needs much more training. On a brighter note, the cocktails were stellar--credit to the bar team for holding it down. The live music was a nice, though hard to enjoy over the din (this place is loud!). The vibe screams NYC import. It's no Le Diplomate --at least not yet. If management wants staying power, they'd do well to train their staff and ask for customer feedback. The manager was around but ignoring most diners. There's promise here, but right now, it's style over service. Let's hope they settle into themselves soon as it would be nice to have a good bistro restaurant in the neighborhood.

Mufasa is amazing! Great service and great food-- the chicken Milanese was really good, and the cocktails are strong so you get your moneys worth.

The staff was very friendly upon our arrival. It only went downhill from there. The waiters reached over us excessively to pass our food, NO regard for personal space which made me extremely uncomfortable. At the end of the meal, they went to wipe the table down and wiped towards us brushing crumbs into our laps. In my opinion, the food was too expensive for the quality. I got the Brie & fig pizza that didn't have much flavor at all. Clumps of cheese weren't fully melted. Ambiance was nice, but I had higher hopes.

First I'll say, Bar Angie looks amazing and the location is also interesting on a quieter block of N street NW. It has a charming bistro vibe and the space itself feels really well-designed except for the sound. The live music was SO loud that we could barely hear each other talk. It was an oddly unnecessary headache and it feels like if live music was the intent then they would stage that further out in the space. Service was all over the place. We had our server greet us immediately and the second who asked we had already been greeted by someone, which seemed like a promising sign. Then one minute later our server returned before we'd even looked at the menu asking for our order... and then disappearing for 20 minutes. We hastily ordered all our food and drinks which also took forever to arrive, so the bread was essential. The food runners were weirdly rushing around too, and while I appreciate a full water glass it doesn't need to be refilled every time it dips below 3/4 of a glass, and plates we were using were quickly rushed away and I had to ask for two back. I can't fault the runners for trying to provide exceptional service but it just added to a chaotic feel and I would have appreciated that service from the servers. The fresh, warm bread was the best part of the meal. It comes in a cute little paper bag with whipped butter. Really enjoyable and helped tide over the hangry. No notes. The Caesar salad was wayy overdressed and soggy with comically large croutons and the "crispy" cream cheese wasn't crispy at all. Crab rangoon were flavorless and also a little soggy but the dip was very good. The chicken paillard was totally under salted but the jus was incredibly over salted. Maybe they were supposed to even out? but it just made for a very weird overall flavor. The french dip and the burger both seemed like solid choices and also very large. Our colleagues seemed pleased. Fries also were well cooked and nice and warm. Pricing didn't make a lot of sense either!? My tiny martini was $19 and looked like a happy hour pour from Cucina Morini's martini hour where it's $7. Also, $15 for a plain cup of fries felt ridiculous and the waiter kept trying to upsell us on getting the works which were just a few other dipping sauces. Also mystery 4% fee added that was not clear on what it was for. It is cute and has potential! But Bar Angie needs to figure out its vibe and pricing if it wants people to come back.

While the drinks were ok the bar service was eh. The girl bartenders behind the bar were very unsatisfied with a tip off 2 drinks and sat there talking about us while we were having our drinks. Not professional very rude and money hungry. Tried to pay with cash but that seemed to be a hassle as well. Not a good experience.

Added $50 to my tip without my permission, luckily I have the receipts! I'll be contacting American Express about the way this restaurant defrauds its customers to chargeback.

Atmosphere was nice, but definitely aligned with other places like a Pastis or Minetta Tavern. Service was the worst I have ever had. Waiter couldn't have been more condescending and rushing us through the process, despite being friendly to other tables. I understand there are reservations and am fine if there is a max time at the table, but that was never mentioned and the restaurant never filled up. Nevertheless, we were only there around 2 hours, which is the typical max table time. - got seated around 8:00, my friend was running a little late, but I was fine to have a glass of wine and read. Around 8:15 the waiter tells me they close around 11, implying I need to hurry it up or be conscious about time, odd given I still have about 3 hours. - my friend gets there and we chat and enjoy our drinks. Around 8:45 the waiter tells us they close at 9:30 and condescendingly tells us we need to get our order in ASAP, strange because he said 11 earlier. We later watched other diners get seated after 9:30, so I'm not sure what's the truth. - my friend ordered an appetizer and asked for more time to pick an entree, the waiter cuts her off and asks "what about the rest of your food, I can portion it out, just tell me now." - I ordered a second drink, after ~20 minutes it didn't arrive and I figured we were close to leaving and it wasn't worth it. The drink was still on the bill, so I asked it to be taken off. The waiter agreed, but implied I was at fault and should have said something. Food was overpriced and location is inconvenient for walking to other bars or events afterwards.

Great service, great food. Bravo! Loved the vibe, would definitely love to go back. Great neighborhood as well.

The owner Tonny is very rude and impolite. While I was in the bathroom speaking on my phone and using the bathroom he was like is this your office and I just ignored him then he was like how do you like the restaurant and I was like your menu main courses are limited and he was like don't complain and left which was very rude and unathic . You don't insult ppl who get you Bussiness as a business man .I will never go back there again .
