Little Ways

We came in as a group of six people, and every single appetizer was amazing! We got the pear and pistachio salad, the mussels, and the brussel sprouts. For entrees, we got the special, scallops, which were ok. We also got the katsu sandwich, steak frites, and crab linguine. The crab linguine was the winner! Everything was wonderful though! The cocktails were incredible as well! We got the Paloma, the Alfonzo, and the Harry Styles and the Spa Day. My personal favorite was the Alfonzo! The service and vibe were great as well!! In addition, the best part of the meal was how affordable it was!! Definitely would come back and we’re from New Orleans and huge foodies!

We finally made it to Little Ways in SoHo, and it did not disappoint! It has that perfect mix of energy and intimacy. Warm lighting, great music, and a crowd that feels effortlessly cool but not pretentious. The kind of spot where you instantly relax the minute you sit down. The GM Tyler and his staff clearly cared about creating a great experience. And a great experience was had! So let’s get into it. The food here isn’t just good, it’s thoughtful with perfectly balanced flavors, textures, and that satisfying feeling when every bite just makes sense. Every dish was unforgettable! We started off with the Oysters that were incredibly fresh, briny, and bright. A clean, oceanic start to the meal that set the tone perfectly. The Roasted Brussels were crisp with that deep, nutty flavor and finished with a surprising light, tangy and warming sauce. The flavor made you forget you were eating vegetables. The Crab Linguini was absolute perfection, light yet rich, with just the right touch of sweetness from the crab and a silky sauce that tied it all together. The cheeseburger? A knockout. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, it melted in your mouth. The kind of burger that stops the conversation for a minute. Then came dessert! The Affogato was a dreamy mix of hot espresso and creamy vanilla ice cream. The sorbets were light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end such a rich, flavorful meal. Overall every dish felt intentional. Nothing was overdone and nothing was missing. Just perfectly balanced bites from start to finish. Easily one of the best meals I’ve had in the city! We will surely see you again Little Ways, and we will be dreaming of you until then! Cheers!

this place is such a hidden gem! It’s so unassuming but every single thing we had was executed to perfection. The steak frites had just the right level of sear, and we opted for the side of roasted garlic and onions which was absolutely decadent. The mussels were not only delicious but the portion size was amazing value! Plus they served it with perfectly toasted bread as a side, which was necessary to sop up the sauce which we probably would have just drank if not for the bread. We also got the crab linguine which was delicious - my only regret was being too full at this point to eat it all. We ended with the strawberry sherbet and tropical sorbet - light, refreshing and just the right way to cap a delightful meal. Can’t wait to go back to try everything else on the menu!

Um ignore the bad reviews. Idk what was wrong the day they came but lemme tell you…this is a meal that I just KNOW will remain in my memories. The first bite of the crab linguine pasta sent me to a different dimension. We also ordered steak n frites, halloumi, mussels, baked and fresh oysters, and Cesar salad. I would literally reorder everything except for the halloumi (it was good but I’ve had better) also our server was so accommodating and sweet. We had the best time and the drinks were fabulous. Will be daydreaming of this meal😍 also the decor was a vibe✨

What a pleasant surprise, I've lived in Soho for many decades. Thought I'd give this place a try. Mushroom Rigatoni was amazing. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious( wish I had the recipe) the service was very attentive and engaging. I left around 8pm , the place was about 95% woman, and gorgeous. Where are the guys ?

Cute spot in SoHo! We came on a Friday night and they had dinner on the first floor and a bar on the second floor. It’s perfect for a date night where you get food first and have the option to just go upstairs and keep the night going. The upstairs was a bit loud, so not great for first dates. The food was good, but not super healthy. I tried the halibut with a side of corn and both were delicious, but in the buttery side.

Very delicious! Has a great atmosphere with wonderful decor. Everything on the menu looked like something I wanted to try. Food was excellent and not too filling. Also had a great cocktail list. Seating was comfortable. Service probably could have been better but besides that we had a great time!

Amazing food at great prices. The service was attentive and the atmosphere interesting and moody. The music was good and lyricless which allows one to focus on conversation with their guests. Great spot!

we went in as soon as they opened, they were still setting up and getting into their groove so we tried to give chill vibes so they'd know we didn't mind lol. out server was super cool friendly and accommodating! happy hour choices are awesome and a pleasant surprise to us as we were really just looking for a quick bite but downed a whole bottle of wine with it i had the pear salad and my partner had the katsu sandwich. we loved both and will be returning!

Came in for brunch on a Saturday and arrived right before opening. They were nice enough to seat us early and take our order right before the kitchen opened. I got the katsu sandwich with a side of fries and my friend ordered the quinoa bowl. The sandwich was not bad but a little greasy. The katsu was nicely fried on a crusty baguette. The fries were delicious and I liked the mayo on the side. My friend really enjoyed her salad and said it tasted very fresh and tangy. I also loved the aesthetic of the place and it had a cozy feel. Overall a great place for brunch in soho!

Crab linguine were star of the show. Need to go back and have two of those. We have started with a bunch of appetizers to share and a cocktail. Drinks are really nice, I got some citrusy flavored cocktail which was fresh and tasty. Deviled eggs, mussels in white sauce, toasted bread, fresh sweet oysters (should've done dozen), everything was delicious and fresh. Pasta not overcooked, hot (don't be a baby, eat carefully and don't burn your tongue) with good amount of lobster mixed in. Lava cake deserves a separate review. I don't even like chocolate, nor I care for lava cakes but that was great! Soft, moist (yes I used work moist), not too sweet, not sticking to your teeth or roof of your mouth. Highly recommended. Everyone very friendly and attentive! Extra points for the door handle

I brought some out of town friends here because I figured it'd be nice to eat and then go upstairs to the bar area. Dinner, I got the chicken caesar salad (9/10 was really good) and the fever green (8/10 definitely a strong lemongrass taste) My friends got the crab linguine (9/10 really good definitely a little heavy) and the mistake mushroom rigatoni (7/10 could've used more flavor) Then we ordered another round of drinks and headed upstairs. Maybe it was too early (9:30PM) but it was odd because half of the space was large tables eating the other half was people standing around drinking. We weren't a fan so we left for a more fun bar!

Being in this dimly lit soho spot just feels cool. But the food is actually the star. The cheeseburger may be in my top 5 nyc burgers it really is that good. We also had the crab linguine and chicken schnitzel, and everything was perfect in flavor, fresh but also crispy. The only thing i would keep in mind coming here- the odds you sit at a high top, or on a low couch are pretty high. The different seating makes the place cool and casual, but can definitely impact your meal if you feel too low to the ground or unsupported by your back.

Came for brunch with some friends. Got some yummy cocktails and few bites. We got the crab linguini, pear and pistachio salad and the ham and cheese board. Crab linguini was amazing and the salad was very refreshing! However, the cheddar cheese had MOLD! No apologies, they brought us another one but after that I didn't even want to touch the cheese anymore.

This might have one of the best cesar salad's in nee york city. That's pretty much all I came here to say but the crab pasta and the cocktails were great too

Service and vibes are amazing!! we wanted to check this place out because we wanted to find someplace that you could also dance and have a drink after dinner. It was the perfect balance between having a romantic dinner and also having really good vibes with music. Food was excellent and the location is fun to walk around and check out stuff. Highly recommend. Just go.

My friend chose this spot for an after work happy hour and everything was *chefs kiss* They do have a $2 oyster happy hour which i loved and then drinks were pretty much just wine and beer. The inside of the restaurant is a little rustic but designed to feel like you're inside of a garden lowkey. (I love the interior) We sat upstairs which was super nice and opted to sit at the bar. My bartender was so friendly and attentive. For my entree, I had the most PERFECT crab linguine (that I still think about til this day). The crab meat to pasta ratio was more than enough. The sauce was seasoned perfectly, that I didnt need to add anything extra other than my usual hot sauce. The portion was honestly fit for just one person and didn't leave me feeling stuffed. My friend got the kale cesar with shrimp which she said was really good. All in all, I cant wait to go back to this place and try their other menu items,

I liked this space! Ordering a drink was pretty easy on a Friday night and I found it pretty tasty! Solid, yet overly crowded dancing vibes upstairs (with a fairly ineffective DJ that night unfortunately), but it was a nice place to hang out downstairs. In a central location which makes it a good bar hopping spot.

TLDR: Simple, cute little restaurant in SoHo serving delicious entrees. Get the mushroom pasta and quinoa bowl. Come here for catch-ups with a friend or two, or maybe a relaxed date night. FOOD: 1. Mushroom Pasta (5/5): Delicious al dente rigatoni with the right amount of cheese and mushrooms so that the cheese didn't overwhelm the taste of the mushroom or pasta. I really loved this since it was so flavorful. Really great portion 2. Quinoa bowl (5/5): We added chicken to it. I really appreciate finding healthy, delicious options at restaurants. This was exactly that -- something I would order every day for lunch at work if I could! Really great portion. OTHER: Really nice server, cool vibes inside with a little darker/dimly lit atmosphere and interesting bar area. Convenient location in SoHo. Overall would come here for a casual meal!

I really enjoyed my meal & drinks here! I went with two of my girlfriends and we split 3 apps and two entrees. We got the burrata special which was really tasty, oysters (loved the hot sauce it came with), and the french fries were giving elevated mcdonald's. I LOVED the crab pasta & the mushroom one was also so good! The drinks were on point and our waitress was so nice and served us up until the point the upstairs dance floor was too crowded to reach us. At around 10:30pm a disco ball comes out the vibes change into more of a club feel upstairs. Such a fun place to start your night! I'd recommend.

Cute interior with a great happy hour! Actually came here in hopes that they had an outdoor seating area, and they used to but got rid of it. Waitresses are attentive and the food is good. The cheeseburger was mediocre- so I would avoid it but the Paloma was delicious if you're looking for a refreshing drink!

Fun Soho vibe, surprisingly friendly staff and very attentive. Tried the Soho Burger, not outstanding but still satisfying. Had a glass happy hour white wine but it wasn't chilled lol.

This place very much feels like an attempt at an aesthetic over substance. The food was fine - steak frites were delicious, and the schnitzel had a great sauce, but the pasta was tasteless. The service was aggressively mediocre, as well - several servers were sitting/standing by the host booth and occasionally having drinks or snacks from the kitchen. I think I'd be fine with that if it was actually worth the hype, but it felt mostly like everyone was cosplaying luxury in someone's Soho IG fever dream with paper napkins and old couches. Won't be back.

Very rare for me to leave 5 stars, but I had no complaints. Food was good & reasonably priced for the area. Service was great, ambience & decor was nice. Would definitely come back!

I only went here for drinks.. drinks are great. They have a great happy hour. I'll definitely be back for more. The upstairs is cute and comfy.

We went to celebrate our anniversary and the food was full of flavors, delicious and very tasty, the service amazing and the environment was perfect for our celebration. Summarizing everything was perfect for our 5th celebration. Thank you,

Stumbled upon this absolutely bright and cute brunch spot! I came midday on a saturday and it was pretty crowded, but I had a reservation and was seated quickly. I ordered the katsu chicken salad with fries - portions were big but the chicken was rather dry. The server however was very nice and attentive! 3 stars for the average food, but vibes were nice so maybe I'll give this restaurant another try later on

Came here with a friend on a Friday night around 10:15 and we had a great time! We were sat down stairs and enjoyed the fries (a lot!) and cocktails. Then we made our way upstairs to vibe under the disco ball! Love this youthful atmosphere and everyone was having a good time. It times it got a bit packed but overall we loved our first time here and will be coming back soon. Here's what we ordered: Harry Styles cocktail: 10/10 Espresso martini: 9/10 - it was too sweet for me but I had no problem finishing it The fries were unexpectedly delicious! 11/10! We didn't eat dinner but definitely want to come back if they have a vegan entree. I saw a veggie burger with vegan cheese which might be vegan as is but i didn't ask. Only constructive feedback would be to add labeling given there was aioli and buns often contain milk. Finally the service was great! Seemed like every employee was happy as they were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back to say hello!

I came here with my mom just to grab a bite and there were lots of drunk and loud people at 3pm lol. It seems great for boozy brunch though and i would definitely come back with my friends instead. Iced Americano -- 10/10 good roast 2 eggs & sourdough -- 8/10 (scrambled) The eggs were okay, they tasted good and bordered on overcooked but i prefer my eggs that way. Bread is greasy and you can taste the grill. $14 which is a great price but you literally only get 2 eggs and bread lol Service was ok for how busy it was. Average soho brunch spot lol

GREAT prices for New York. Definitely a great place to share plates! Will be returning

Cute restaurant in SoHo with vintage decor as an interior and chill vibes! Came here after work in Tribeca and they have happy hour deals until 7 pm ($5 beers, $7 glasses of wine). I thought our waitress was super speedy and friendly, our food also came out quicker than a usual restaurant I felt. We also got the Harry Styles drink which didn't really blow me away. For food, I got the salmon with risotto and thought it was SO good, but a pretty small portion. My boyfriend got the burger and it wasn't the best burger but it was still good. In short, I thought this was a cute find of a restaurant with a fun cocktail menu and good happy hour! If I come back, I would want to check out the upstairs area!

A perfect dinner option when in the city. Tried this spot when we went to the city after a day in soho. We were very happy with the atmosphere and seating. Though, it was an interesting set up on the second floor as well as the mirrored bathroom. The food and drink were very good. I got a steak and frites as well as a Harry styles drink. The drink was smoky and had. Since watermelon flavor. The steak was cooked nicely and the fries were crunchy. The music playlist was playing popular songs but a rehearsal version which was very funny and strange. Overall a great spot for a meal!

this sandwich is so good!!! we added jalapeños to it. i am craving it while writing this review - the sourdough bread was a little hard but i didn't mind it

We came here when going out in soho and I really liked the inside. There's two stories and a good amount of space to move around and dance. The espresso martinis were so good!!

The newest hot spot in the city. You can quote me on that. Little ways has been all the hype recently and I can see why! I had my birthday dinner here a few weeks ago and wow were we all impressed. We really just planned on going here for the drinks, the vibe and as a pregame for the next spot, but we ended up staying much later than expected. Not only were the drinks good, but the FOOD. Not a single let down there. Upon finishing dinner we were directed upstairs to the "bar" area where they had tables and space to chat and mingle. Truly could not have asked for a better place to have my dinner. Checks off all the boxes. Will be returning for a girls night

One of the best veggie burgers. Vegan cheese, really unique blend of vegetables make up the patty. Doesn't look like a normal veggie burger but it tastes great. I recommend getting avocado on it. They have iced coffee but it's not on the menu.

The oyster happy hour here is a good deal! They are fresh and plump. My friend and I also split 2 pastas, and felt there were a little too tart and a bit heavy though

Just happened to walk by and decided to give their happy hour a chance. Pretty solid east coast oysters ($1.50 from 5-7PM everyday) and $7 wines (red, white, rose). Interior was perf and such an aesthetic.

I came here with a group of friends on a Friday night. We went upstairs where there was a bar and ordered the Harry Styles. The drink was good, my only complaint was that the place seemed a bit dirty. I also remembered being confused by the setup of the seats since it felt like some couches and tables were pushed to the side on the dancefloor.

Really loved this place. Super cute location and atmosphere with great service. Loved loved loved their cucumber martini drink and their Cesar salad... the salad was probably one of the best Cesar's I have had in the city. Definitely recommend and really enjoyed

Ohhhhh this place is a vibe. It's two stories and pretty spacious. I would suggest getting here early cause it gets paced really fast. The drinks are fairly priced 15-25 dollars for a cocktail. They do serve food but I ate before I came. The music is good makes you want to dance all night

I enjoy little ways for drinks however i have not ate here. from a drink perspective the menu is not cocktailheavy, but i give 5 stars as the upstairs lounge is an elite vibe. downstairs is okay but i would say upstairs the roof and lounge area is great for a dinner or date. go when it's busy so it is active upstairs.

Cool spot with great vibes. I highly recommend making a resy to keep from standing in the middle of the floor upstairs with the feeling of being in the way.

SHADY AF! On TWO separate occasions they tried to scam us. When you split the bill they give each person the full amount and expect you won't notice! They then try to calm it off by giving you some free extra wine or desert. STAY AWAY! They should be reported. Don't even bother the food and vibe was mediocre at best.

Like a year ago we stopped in to say hi to a friend and the bartender threw a lime at my friend and then was like "IS THERE A PROBLEM?" like gurl yes cause why r u starting a food fight .. anyways he was generic looking white male i don't know his name, prob don't work there anymore but like wtf dude i'm still confused about this. thought about it for a long time. great spot for high school seniors and college freshman to chill and hang out

Came here for dinner after work for a simple meal. Cute ambiance on the inside with good service. I had the burger which was quite good and mt girlfriend got the fish which was cooked perfectly and we were both very pleased with our experience. I'd go back to Little Ways and recommend it to others (we work nearby). Nothing was over the top to justify 5 stars.

*4.5/5 Someone give the interior decorator a pay raise! Little Ways is chic and funky -- with walls of prints and fun-shaped mirrors, and enough plants sprinkled throughout the two floors to make any 20-something jealous. Came with a friend for a Bumble event -- see: 2 free drinks and a small plate (appetizer) to share. I got a glass of white (it was good, easy to drink, and that's all I understand about wine) and my friend got an espresso martini which I drank most of lol (really refreshing! my first espresso martini and certainly not my last). For the small plate, we ordered the mussels, which was more of a large bowl. I know even less about seafood than I do about wine, but the mussels were decent, and seeped in a yellow Thai-reminiscent coconut curry. Came with two soft slices of bread, though I would have eaten that mussel sauce straight on white rice if I could. Minus half a star bc our waitress was quite judgey/standoffish but maybe that's just the restaurant brand.

If you haven been here for happy hour, stop by. Reduced wine and beer, but $1.50 oysters and great martinis. What more can you ask. I'm visiting NYC for business and a beefeater martini and a dozen oysters only set me back $37. In this town is fantastic. All that aside, their Tuscan kale Caesar salad is a recipe I'm stealing. It is a significant emotional event!

I had happy hour and oysters on a Saturday evening and I definitely have to say that their oysters were very good and fresh! I also ordered the chicken Katsu sandwich later on, which was decent. They have other interesting items on the menu that is vegan friendly too, which is a bonus! The outdoor seating is super cute and restaurant has an overall good ambiance. Note: Happy hour runs from 5-6 pm and the only drinks included are wine and beer. We brought a cake to celebrate my friends birthday, and asked if they could bring it out at the end of our dinner but found out there is a $30 plating fee.

I come here often and I am a big fan of the quinoa bowl. I always ask for Morgan as my server. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. 20/10 service from them always. Good drinks and super cute environment.

Was a little skeptical of this place prior based off the menu since they had such a wide variety to offer. BUT. Everything was excellent! It's a really cute spot. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends. There's a whole upstairs with an additional bar and cute couch chairs. If you are looking to just get a drink, I would recommend little ways upstairs at the bar. Very aesthetically pleasing. The mesquite corn was extra delish! Good service as well.

Better than ever! The cocktails, menu and play list are all A+. The service is excellent. We will be back soon. Love it!

Great food, great happy hour, fabulous service. It gets a little loud for me as the night goes on, but I wouldn't let that keep me away. I just duck out and let the younger crowd take over.

Little Ways has a long ways to go. We made a large reservation to celebrate our friend's birthday. While the food was good, the service was terrible. They served the birthday cake we brought to another table celebrating their birthday. They then said they would make it up to us. They then proceeded to bring a piece of the cake that was served to the group of strangers to our table after they had blown out the candles. Considering we are in a global pandemic this is EXTREMELY problematic and when we addressed the manager about this he said, "well everyone is vaccinated". Its a pretty unprofessional response considering it was January 2022 when cases are rising in NY. The vibe is sceney and cute but the place has terrible service.

Cute ambience, food was really good. Espresso martinis are very yummy. I got the burger, it was surprisingly very good. Chairs weren't super comfortable and nowhere to hang my bag or jacket. Other than that it was a great time. I recommend the green vodka drink w cucumber!

Stopped by 2 weeks ago for drinks and man was it great. Our table started off with the watermelon margs and mimosa. First off, don't get the watermelon marg. It tasted like cucumber water, and I swear it didn't not have any alcohol. The mimosa was strong and tasty, but I mean you can't mess that up (though the portion was pretty small) But the main event was.....the fries! We kept things light for the night and snacked on fries but I've never had fries so good we ordered 3 times. It was hot, crunchy, and perfectly salted. IIt really hit the spot and I'd order that again in a heartbeat. We ended the night with a bottle of the orange wine and Rose. Of all the drinks, the rose was the way to go. Nice and crisp, with a light sparkle. I sure will be back for the fries and rose, but hope the rest of the menu is just as good.

A bit of an upscale 80s vibe but more Soho chic. A cute vibe and friendly bartender. Not many vegetarian options, but ok for a drink. Two levels & outdoor seating. Good music.
