Parker & Quinn

New York City is full of great restaurants and each neighborhood seems to have one or two that will grab your attention. While visiting the city recently, I was walking near Bryant Park and this bistro caught my eye and I decided to try it. It turned out to be a great choice. Being part of the Refinery Hotel (in the old garment district), you can access it through the hotel main lobby. Or, you can use another entrance on 39th Street, which is fairly non-descript and almost makes you pause. However, upon entering you immediately get immersed in the very warm space, and the ambiance is well suited for a casual and cozy meet, or a business sojourn . The menu is classic American, with a wide and appetizing selection. Accompanied by some focaccia bread, I started with an outstanding Beet root Carpaccio salad with goat cheese, orange and arugula. The main course was a Branzino filet that absolutely melted in your mouth; the accompanying roasted vine tomatoes made the dish just perfect. The dessert was a delicious Churro cake with Cinnamon and vanilla ice cream and a dash of salted caramel. It was a very satisfying meal. To top it off, my server Cory was just fantastic; very courteous and embodied great customer service in every sense of the word. I am glad I gave this place a shot, and would not hesitate coming back on a future trip to the area. The food and the ambiance, especially with the old World charm of the adjacent hotel, makes it a great value; well worth a visit.

Was taken here for my birthday where my husband paid extra to book a booth! Oh my gosh it was so worth it. The booths are higher up in the restaurant and very private. Inside the decor is tasteful, trendy and modern. Service was great! Has a kids menu too! My 7-year-old son loved the special booth we were in. Wine and cocktails delicious! Pork chop was divine along with the kids pasta and desserts! We had the best few hours here, felt really spoilt and would definitely return. A touch expensive but so so worth it. The manager came over to welcome us and ask if he can assist in anyway or if there is a problem to let him know and this will be resolved immediately! Only down side is the toilets are part of another building and shared.

We had a lovely experience at Parker and Quinn while celebrating a friend’s birthday. The atmosphere was warm and stylish—perfect for a relaxed get-together. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. It was a great setting to catch up with friends and make special memories. One downside, however, was the restroom. It wasn’t very clean and had an unpleasant smell, which took away a bit from the overall experience. Hopefully, this is something they’ll improve, because the rest of the visit was truly enjoyable.

I found this lovely place when I was googling and looking for a brunch place for 7 of us. It was fully booked online but I gave a try and went the place. Turns out they made a table for us! Brunch was fantastic! I ordered French toast and it was amazing. I don’t have pictures for it but avocado toast, smoked salmon on a bagels and omelet looks also great. And they even sang happy birthday song for one of our friend! Highly recommended!

Parker & Quinn – A Hidden Gem in Midtown I had such a great experience at Parker & Quinn during my recent visit to New York. Tucked just off 39th Street, this place truly feels like one of the Big Apple’s best-kept secrets. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with beautiful vintage decor that gives it a classic New York feel. The food? Absolutely delicious. I had one of their juicy steaks and it was cooked to perfection — flavorful, tender, and exactly what you’d want from a good steak in the city. The menu has a great variety, and everything we tried was spot-on. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was super friendly and made us feel right at home. It’s the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel comfortable, whether you’re there for a full dinner or just grabbing a drink. If you’re in Midtown and looking for a great meal in a laid-back, charming setting, I highly recommend checking out Parker & Quinn. I’ll definitely be going back.

If you are looking for a cozy bar. Look no further. This place has a great atmosphere and great food. We had two different salads, both were excellent!!!

We visited Parker & Quinn for the first time on Mother’s Day, following a Broadway show. My son and daughter-in-law made a reservation for us—two moms being celebrated—and the experience was truly lovely. We arrived around 5:00 p.m., and the restaurant was pleasantly quiet, with plenty of available seating. The ambiance was warm and comfortable, with a variety of seating options: tables for one, two, four, and six, along with cozy chairs, benches, and even a separate area suited for private parties. The soft background music allowed us to relax, catch up, and enjoy each other’s company without raising our voices. Our server, Dorian, was excellent—attentive, friendly, and accommodating to all of our needs. The service throughout the evening was professional and personable. We started with calamari to share, which was nicely cooked and well-seasoned. For our entrees: I had the lamb burger, cooked medium rare—it had a slight spicy kick, which I personally enjoyed. My son had the regular burger, also medium rare, which came with a fresh side salad, sour pickle and onions. My daughter-in-law ordered the spinach salad with grilled chicken. Her mother, who is vegetarian, chose the squash flatbread and requested some extra sauces. Dorian brought both Cholula and Tabasco, which she really appreciated as a fan of spice. The food didn’t just taste good—it looked beautiful, too. Every plate was thoughtfully presented, making the meal feel a bit more special. One small note from our experience: the burgers had a generous amount of onions. While it didn’t take away from the flavor for us, if you’re not a big fan of onions, it might be a good idea to ask for less when ordering. For dessert, we shared a churro cake and an affogato (ice cream with espresso). Both were delicious, and the portion sizes throughout the meal were just right—satisfying without leftovers. We didn’t order alcoholic drinks, just tap water, and I enjoyed the espresso with my dessert. One small note: the restrooms could use a bit of attention in terms of cleanliness and upkeep, especially given the restaurant’s location inside a hotel. Still, this didn’t take away from our overall experience. The staff, including the manager who came by to check in, were very kind and welcoming. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable Mother’s Day dinner. I would absolutely recommend Parker & Quinn to anyone who enjoys classic American food with a touch of modern flair. A great post-show dining spot!

I was used to their warm olives and focaccia as starter. Something has changed in the menu, but food was as good as it was. Interesting selection of appetisers, burrata was phenomenal. Burger was neat and well presented. Price was fair and really good for the kind of food they deliver. Pizza was not the best I ever had. But fair in the total.

We had a delicious meal. I had the lamb burger made to the chef's taste. It was perfection with the one exception.... I needed a bigger appetite!! Cory our wait staff was attentive and not intrusive. Our water glasses were constantly full. The place felt like a secret spot of the locals. It was quiet and conversation could be had in a manner not available in many a spot around town. Sorry no pictures.

Lunch visit was great, with quick service, delicious food (burger and a shrimp salad), but a few things keep the experience in a pleasantly appointed dining room from being top-notch. First, the room is super loud, which clearly comes from extra tables being placed directly in front of the booths for the lunch crowd. Be ready to yell just to have a conversation. Second, the kitchen takes some shortcuts to keep lunch moving, mostly noticed in the fries being a bit cool, and the tails being left on the shrimp in our salad (nothing that isn't normally edible should be plated). The taste was still good, and the service was quick.

Sorry I know I havent really been on here as much as I should (wedding planning) Still going out but rarely take the time to speak on the places I dine . Parker and quinn was a delight . From beginning to end - (if you like bourbon try the irish coffee okd fashioned ! Even the dessert was great 4 stars because they took a minute to take our orders (even tho the spot was empty) but once I caught their attention- they made up for it

The chef definitely knew flavors and combinations, but unfortunately the meal itself was overcooked and dry. I ordered the half chicken, and 25% of the bird was delicious, and the butter sauce on point. But the remainder of the chicken was impossible to cut into and dry as could be. It was very chewy, like a pork chop. The Mac n cheese was super dry and chewy. Again, the flavors were great, the hint of garlic, breadcrumbs, but man, if I didn't have the butter sauce from my chicken dish to dunk the noodles in - it would have been inedible. My husband loved the salmon gnocchi, but it only came with a few. I feel like with the price point, it could have been a lot better.

Parker & Quinn was a good brunch option for my recent trip to NYC. We were able to get a table for five of us on short notice, and our food came out hot and fast so that we were able to get on with our busy day. I ordered the French toast, made with sourdough bread, coconut, rosemary, whipped cream, fruit and maple syrup. And what I received was the French toast you would expect. It was made well, sweet, a morning treat. I did notice that this spot had a bit of a weird, chemically, cleaning product smell to it. It wasn't a big nuisance, but if I was sensitive to smells, it would have turned me off. Overall, this was a decent option for brunch.

Made a reservation a few days before dinner on a Tuesday night in February . Seated as soon as we arrived. It's a very lively and busy place. Service was attentive and quick. We had a salad, cheeseburger, margherita pizza and drinks. Food tasted good and prepared well. We'll likely come back next time we're in town.

I came here for lunch with some coworkers and ordered the Steak Frites. The interior is cute and service is good. However, the food was honestly mid. I felt that the steak was not very flavorful and was just smokey. Probably won't be coming back here.

So we had this horrible experience at this once beloved restaurant. But the manager posted their template, impersonal response it sends to customers that managed to convince my husband to give it another shot. I mean this was once a favorite spot for us. What's the expression, fool me once, Shane on me. Fool me twice shame on you. Well, the service was a hot mess. The food still took forever to come and it was mediocre at best. If this was some hole in the wall wannabe it might get 3 stars because that's what you'd expect from a rundown wannabe. But this is P&Q. They're lucky I kept my new review at two stars.

Most restaurants near us didn't open early enough, so we walked a few blocks in midtown and very happy to find Parker & Quinn. It's like a family diner. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It didn't look busy in the front when we walked in, but lots of tables were actually occupied in the back. We ordered 4*Eggs Benedict: the usual and good 5* Grilled Cheese: loved it, especially paired with salad. 4.5*Hangover hash: delicious. Dinner breakfast: the portion was generous. 4* PG burger: per normal. Everything was good, and we would visit again.

Great menu, great service, really fun decor with low lighting and lots of booth seating for intimate dining. It's just really loud...almost too loud to hear the others at your table during a really busy dinner seating. But overall, I liked it and will be back.

I havent been back since before covid and what a come back for me. The ambiance is what NYC is and brings about in great restaurants. The upbeat vibe, the service was excellent and prices were not crazy. The server and front attendant were very onpoint with us. We arrived and they let us know they were packed on a Monday, but lucky for us we had a reservation. We were waltzed right to our booth. The Food, while the menu has under 20 items, everything we tried was on the extreme scale of delicious. The Grilled octopus with spicy sausage, the mac and cheese , the Tomato Bacon Bisque, and the braised short rib were one of the best if not the best in a long time for me. Uff I wished I had more $$ to get back in there. Thank you for the great service and time offered. I was able to reserve quickly with my Gmail account on their website and it was simple and no filling out huge forms.

Came back here, and I wanted a salad and there's actually some nice salad options. I got the autumn salad with salmon on top. I might ask for the dressing on the side next time since it was a little too much for me and for the salmon, they ask how well cooked you'd like it - I panicked and got it medium well which was too cooked for my liking. I also got the chocolate mousse which is a solid dessert option. I tried bites of the churro cake (more like a bundt cake, not my favorite) and the cookie skillet which can't not be good.

The atmosphere was really giving night time late night drink vibes. It's darker, sophisticated, clean and the staff and service are as very tentative! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the hash! I think if you were wanting a flavor for breakfast, I would recommend coming here. There are not many items on the menu so check that out before going.

Looking for a place to have dinner on our way back to Penn Station this popped up. Nondescript entrance on 39th St opens to dark, wooded bar. Busy on a Wednesda, early evening. We were able to secure bar seats and promptly served by an attentive, friendly bartender, Ryan. Even at this busy hour he took care of the "old people". Husband had a Montauk IPA & I had glass of Pinot noir- both thoroughly enjoyed. Decided to stay for dinner and ate in the dining room. Nice menu offering small plates, salads, burgers as well as a small selection of entrees. I had steak & frites ( dubbed garlic mashed) & husband had short ribs. Enjoyed both-not the most tender but very tasty. Ended meal with delish moussse cake & cappsacino. Glad tried this place! Afterwards we went up to rooftop bar! Nice little find.

Service was great: they were friendly & attentive. The food was delicious. The meatballs had great flavor but they needed to be warmer (they arrived to the table lukewarm). The tomato bacon bisque was very filling & the pomegranate lemonade was refreshing.

My favorite lamb burger in the entire city. If you appreciate goat cheese, you HAVE to get this for your entree. Also, I really enjoyed their "Autumn in New York" cocktail. Really great overall!

Had lunch with coworkers here and I ordered the BLT chicken sandwich with fries (additional cost since it normally comes with a side salad) which was tasty and was informed that it's their best seller. Coworkers ordered the fennel sausage flatbread, french dip, rigatoni, rib eye, and a burger. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was great and the server came by frequently to refill our waters and check in on us. Our food did take some time to come out but was fine given we were just catching up. Would recommend if you're nearby.

My sister had an art show in NYC last Memorial-Day Weekend. And she asked me to arrange reservations for brunch for her friends the day after the art show. She chose Parker & Quinn, a signature restaurant of a cool hotel called The Refinery Hotel. I was able to arrange it online via parkerandquinn.com. That was the initial communication. From there, I communicated with their online staff via email. The online-staff suggested their Family-Style-Brunch menu. So we chose that. When my sister and my niece came back to LA, they told me about how happy they were with their dining experience at Parker & Quinn --- with the atmosphere, the service and the food. My niece particularly liked their Avocado Toast. And the prices were just like in LA. Reasonable prices. So I guess in NYC, it's only the apartments that are more crazy-expensive than LA. The reservation was for 15 people and the time limit was two hours. But they did not charge my sister for 2 friends who were not able to make it to the brunch. In addition, they made them stay past the two-hour limit. Thank you, Parker & Quinn, for the wonderful time that my family had, and my sister's friends had at your place.

Meh. Stopped in for a quick bite at the bar. The salad (added salmon as my protein) was quite good, but the vibe inside was below average. Might have enjoyed a table more if I was with a group, but alone at the bar the atmosphere was unmemorable. Also, no backs on the bar stools, so not comfortable seating. That said, staff were awesome! Also, the restrooms, which are actually part of the hotel that the restaurant is attached to, were quite nice. Three stars because of the staff, but absolutely no plans to return.

This place is one for the books! I reserved this place to have my birthday dinner and I'm happy that I did, we even luck up and found a parking space in front of the restaurant. This place is beautiful and has an old school mob type vibe, not the people just the decor. The staff was cool, nothing above and beyond that stood out but no flaws to point out as well. The guy who controlled the operations of the restaurant knows what he's doing and stopped by each table to greet each guest when they were seated, after the food was served and before we exited. He kept himself moving and I respect that! Now on to the best part and that is the FOOD! We started with the margarita flat bread which was fresh and delicious each ingredient had its own individual flavor that blended so well together. It tastes like it was made by an Italian grandmother. The truffle fries were really good and had enough truffle oil so that you can smell and taste it on the fries. THE BRANZINO was absolutely delicious that butter sauce and those capers. The grilled branzino was cooked to perfection, even the peas that came with it were good and I don't even like peas lol. And the last but surely not least the skillet cinnamon roll, put it this way after eating this cinnamon roll you just up your standards on how a cinnamon roll should taste. It was flaky soft and fully cooked so no dough like texture or flavor. Watch my check ins for this place I'm going to become a regular lol.

I got the avocado toast with a side of smoked salmon plus coffee during brunch. Decent service, great ambience! Would recommend if you're in the area

Popped in for a quick brunch/lunch and it was lovely :) Service was fast and friendly, ambiance was very nice, and the food was delicious!! Eggs benedict was amazing omg

This restaurant exceeded my cautious expectations. The staff delivered what you'd expect from a restaurant of this quality. I appreciated the taste complexity. We found this place by chance and were pleased. The workers were friendly and the meals were outstanding! I'm coming back soon.

Located in Bryant Park, friendly and attentive service. Our server offered up recommendations for our appetizer and meal. The ambiance was unique, had a speak-easy feel. Prices were reasonable but the food was just ok. The steak was a bit dry and the food could have been flavorful.

Stopped in for a nice dinner before Aladdin and quickly discovered why P & Q averages more than 4 on yelp. We got there a few mins before our res and they were able to seat us early which started the night on the right foot. We were seated in one of their elevated booths, which gave a really neat perspective as we could see the whole inside of the dining room as well as the open kitchen. The dining room filled up rapidly after we arrived, so I'm glad we had a res! We were greeted promptly by our server, Dorian, who was just as available and timely throughout our service. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything just the way we like it; a true consummate professional. We split the calamari and each had an entree. I had the French dip, wife had the grilled cheese/tomato soup and kids had the meatballs. Everything was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, and had a perfect sauce accompanying the dish. Once again, the kind of professional qualities you expect at this level.

This review is 100% base on how our reservation was handled. Had a reservation on Friday night for party of 6 but we ended up with 7 people in our group. The restaurant was not accommodating in providing us with a table that could accommodate us. We noticed a different table which was smaller but the seating was sufficient for 7. The maître d' claimed there's a reservation for the table we brought to her attention. Although we stayed for appetizers, entrées and desserts, one person in our party protested by not ordering. A bit uncomfortable! Just a FYI the table we wanted was unoccupied for the entire time we were there. Needless to say, we will NOT patronize this business ever.

Great find for brunch on Saturday morning. Highly recommend the eggs Benedict. Great Bloody Mary's too. Service was excellent and we appreciated the attentive service of the manager, Sonny. Thank you! Great vibe and ambiance. Very popular spot!

Came back this morning after I said I would and all I can report is: They Still Killed It! LOL This time I had the steak and eggs and it was delish! My wife still hit that hash cuz hash has never been quite the same after tasting Parker & Quinn's (haha). The ambiance is fantastic and good coffee and mimosas too! What are ya waiting for; grab a bite at this awesome spot.

Food, French dip and fries and margarita pizza was good. Drinks, Prosecco and Manhattan were perfect. Atmosphere great. Service was good.

Had a Saturday dinner here last weekend. Truly an amazing experience from a hidden gem near Bryant Park. We did not plan to end up here& only found it because it was a short walk from the hotel and had an open reservation. Soooo glad we did! First, our server, Chad, was great. He was exited to see us, attentive & offered up amazing suggestions for dinner. For our first visit, he was exactly what we needed. The food really was delicious. 1. The roasted chicken, which sounds basic, was anything but. The carrots, potatoes & au jus all complimented a juicy and flavorful 1/2 chicken. 2. The hanger steak came to us perfectly prepared and accompanied with a gorgeous salad that is understated as a "nice lil salad" on the menu. 3. The Rigatoni with the shredded lamb ragu was a pasta to rave about. We could have eaten a double portion! 4. The Kids grilled cheese was easily one of the top 5 we've had anywhere. The bread was toasted to perfection and the more than ample amount of cheese was perfection The last thing I'll add is that the ambiance was truly unique. With an early 20th century speakeasy feel, it was a joyful experience the music was a great selection at the perfect volume. Not so loud that you couldn't talk but loud night for you to recognize & enjoy.

This is definitely a place where a lot of people come after work. Everything we ordered tasted good. Service was good. Drinks were good. The ambiance was casual.

The restaurant had a great ambiance, our server was in the spot, and the food was excellent. The grilled cheese was super cheesy and the steak frites was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the small side salad; it was very fresh. For dessert, we had cheesecake with berries on top, and it was creamy and a perfect way to end the evening.

Food was delicious; waiter was friendly. Steak frites and French fries all around - everyone very happy!

This restaurant was by far the best restaurant we ate at during our stay. Cannot say enough about how amazing the food and desserts were! Absolutely delicious. The service and ambiance were great.

This place is nice and easy to get into. We had a couple drinks (the Autumn in New York and Sav Blanc) that were really good and enjoyed not being rushed while we caught up. It's cute in here and is connected to a hotel with a great jazz bar!

I came here for brunch with a friend after visiting the winter village at Bryant Park. It was a short walk from the park and we had reservations so we were seated immediately. The restaurant was buzzing when we came in around 12:45 pm. I liked the vibe of the restaurant- very old New York with the red accents and leather furniture. The inside of the restaurant was very spacious though most of the tables were quite close together. Overall, the service was good but it took some time to place our orders since we weren't ready when the waitress first came by and the waitress didn't come back to us for a while. The menu was definitely heavier on breakfast items than lunch . Both my friend and I ordered the breakfast omelette. They had two options - one with sausage (which my friend got) and one with broccoli rabe and feta (which I got). The menu has a lot of bacon fyi (if you don't eat pork) but you can request for no bacon. We also got sourdough toast on the side. I didn't like that they added butter (I would have preferred it plain) but I didn't send it back. I liked my meal. The omelette was neatly folded and fluffy. I think I would prefer their dinner menu though. I'll have to come back to try it.

Salmon was delicious. Staff were friendly. Cute decor, not trying too hard. Great dinner after work with friends.

Pretty cool restaurant in the midtown area. The food was fine. No complaints. I ordered the lamb ragu, which came with a fairly generous serving. They have a decent selection of beers on tap. Service was okay too. The waiter did take my plate which was still about 1/3 full without confirming, which was a little odd.

We chose Parker & Quinn for a birthday brunch celebration while in NYC. It was conveniently located across from our hotel. I loved the vibe of the restaurant, reminded me of a speakeasy. We were seated immediately and our server was very helpful in offering recommendations! I had the breakfast sandwich with side salad and it was delicious! They brought out a beautiful cheesecake for my mom's birthday which was so generous! I really appreciated that and the cake was soo good! I will definitely be back!

Had brunch today with my husband and so glad we made a reservation here. Love the atmosphere, and really nice color scheme (black, white and ruby red). Menu definitely unique with a good selection, full coffee and cocktail menu as well. My Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious and our food came out fast and hot. Our server Brenda was super sweet and attentive, also gave great recommendations as well. We will definitely come back and maybe check out the dinner menu next time we are heading to the refinery hotel.

Solid option. Simple menu. Nice decor. Food was good. Eggs Benedict good. Avocado toast good. Salad good.

This review is for the bartender from tonight, I believe his name was Ryan. He was the best bartender I've ever come across service wise. Extremely hospitable, respectful, funny and communicative. We appreciated his polite demeanor and the amount of times he checked up on us without being overbearing. Can't comment on the food as we didn't have any. Nice place to unwind without having to worry about people crowding over you or a mess all over the place where you're sitting. Restrooms were some of the nicer ones compared to other restaurants/bars.

A cute place for brunch! Drinks are really good here! This place has dope ambience and the servers were really on point ! We came right after the morning rush and felt really good with the portions!

Great burger with bacon, perfectly cooked. Calamari was okay--too much aioli on top. Cool spot and would go back.

Parker & Quinn has been on my list of bookmarks for a long time, and I was excited when I had the opportunity to visit while I was in Midtown last week. We wanted to grab some light bites and drinks, so we sat at the bar. We ordered a martini, a glass of rose, calamari and a charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was good, the calamari was pretty disappointing. The squid was really rubbery, the breading tasted a little stale, and the sauce was bland. Visually, it looked nice and I always appreciate a grilled lemon, The server was very nice and attentive. But I was surprised when I got the bill and saw a $24 charge for a glass of rose. Looking back at the menu, a typical 5oz glass is $15, and an 8oz glass is $24. It was big glass of wine, and I have no problem with that price tag for the extra oz. However, when we ordered a "glass of rose" the server should've asked if we wanted 5oz or 8oz. The restaurant was packed for a Wednesday at 10pm. It's obvious people really enjoy this restaurant, and I might be back if I have the opportunity.

Came here for lunch when I was in town. Started off a little rough as the service was slow and it took the server about 8 minutes to realize we were sat there. But in all the chicken sliders were good, the Greek salad was good and it ended up well.

We got last minute drinks on there roof top beautiful views and good cosmos . It was a beautiful Sunday they close at 9p a little early. But we enjoyed our selfs

Good food Good service Great ambience Enjoy it when you are in midtown Manhattan, NYC

We popped in here because we wanted a quick drink and snack before we headed home from Times Square. I was so surprised by how great our experience was. We were greeted with smiling faces and served so quickly. I really appreciate all the extra effort that the restaurant put in to make us feel welcome. The drinks were very good and so was the food. It was classic American Fare and it tasted great. The shishito peppers were my favourite and I know that everything else was also very good. If you need an American sit down place in Times Square that's not filled with tourists this is the spot.
