Barlume

I had a wonderful experience at Barlume Restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to the hostess, Shelbi, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and made us feel right at home. Her kindness and professionalism really stood out. Highly recommend Barlume for anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and amazing service!

Barlume is easily one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve visited. The hummus was smooth, flavorful, and unforgettable, while the Busiate pasta was one of the most delicious pastas I’ve ever had. Definitely a must-try!

I love this place! Located on lower Broadway in my favorite neighborhood, the service and food was excellent. The open, airy, well-decorated space is so inviting. I’m taking off one star because the French fries were not served hot. I would still go back!

Barlume is a fantastic spot for after-work drinks—especially during their “Happiest Hour” menu, which truly can’t be beat. The space is beautiful and open, with plenty of room so you’re not packed in next to other diners. It’s got that perfect balance of upscale yet relaxed. We started with the mezze dips (a must-order), and the tuna and tomato carpaccio, which was fresh and full of flavor. The Mediterranean salad was just okay, and the branzino was the standout—packed with flavor and a generous portion, easily shared between two. For sides, the broccoli rabe was solid, but you can skip the potatoes. Service was excellent—professional and attentive without being overbearing. It really added to the overall experience. Definitely a go-to for me!

Enjoyed a great happy hour! Martini with truffle fries $15. I really loved the martini, it was done perfectly. The detail of the Pearl was so cute and special. Olives were delicious as well. Staff was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Especially Alforse and Mason, the best bartenders. Alforse made the best Martini! I will certainly be back to try food options soon. Highly recommend! Beautiful restaurant.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere at Barlume—stylish, cozy, and full of great energy. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was creative and full of surprises. I was especially impressed by the tuna carpaccio—super fresh fish, juicy tomatoes, and an overall perfect balance of flavors. Highly recommend!

Great design and service, food was above average but not out of this world. Would definitely be back but left slightly hungry. Up the portion size a tiny bit or bring down the price and this place would be an even bigger hit. The bar and cocktails were great as well.

Very chic decor, super friendly staff! One of my friends has allium allergy and the waiter did everything to accommodate! We still had a great experience even thought he couldn’t get much. The cocktails are delicious, well balanced not too sweet not too bitter! Loved the Amaro Sour which one of their speciality! The food is quite decent.

This new restaurant in the heart of flatiron district is a real gem. We arrived for our 5:30 reservation and we decided to stay at the bar because it felt right to stay there. Everyone was super welcoming, warm and professional. The food was beyond expectations: there are some many different choices of fine Mediterranean dishes but clearly there is a strong italian influence with some of the best pinsa (pizza) we have ever had. Among the apps the yellowtail tartar and the crab crostini really stand out. I trained a Lambrusco sbagliato and I was in heaven, I had 3 more wines by the glass and they were all excellent. Th place was busy and the vibe was so in tune with everything, music was just perfect. What an addition to the neighborhood! An instant classic!!

This is for downstairs. Drinks didn't blend well. For the price I would go someone with better cocktails. It was very crowded till probably 11/midnight
