BLT Bar and Grill
BLT Bar & Grill is a modern tavern serving inspired versions of familiar American classics and bar fare with hand-crafted cocktails, beer and wine. The menu features a wide variety of favorites from sharable snacks, fresh salads and grilled meats to market-driven pastas, pizzas and sandwiches. BLT Bar & Grill is everyday dining that still affords impeccable style and service.
BLT Bar & Grill spans two levels, with each floor offering a different energy and experience. The full menu is available throughout the restaurant, but guests can opt to linger in the upstairs dining room or socialize at the bustling downstairs bar. The space features high ceilings with custom-designed wood beam chandeliers draped with Edison bulbs. The warm, tavern-like atmosphere is outfitted in dark red and brown leathers, with neon signage that recalls classic American pub décor.

"This place will tarnish the W Hotel brand and reputation. The restaurant interior looks like Charlie O's or a cheap sports bar and the food was barely edible bar food. We even found a paper sticker in our meal, but the waiter never came by for us to say anything. Thankfully, the draft beer was good, which helped wash the meal down."

"What a pleasant surprise, plenty of outdoor seating on a summer night in the Wall Street area!
A simple wine list with some drinkable gems, and perfectly prepared Bistro type food. The outdoor seating is surprisingly free of noise as there is little vehicular traffic in the narrow financial district streets at night. A real gem for this area."

"Nice place to grab a quick lunch during the week. Nice vibe, server didn't rush us, and noise level was conducive to conversation. It's a $15 burger kind of place, but the food is very good."

"Missed my usual favorite - the dry aged beef burger - which was not available. How can that be on National Hamburger Day?"

"Food was well prepared and presented. Nice popovers. We ended up in a service "black hole" after entrees served-- no water, no clearing, no contact for far too long."

"My steak was just so so but my associates was good. We had to ask our waiter if we could order drinks after the 3rd time he was at our table. They were way too quick to remove items from our table. We felt very rushed even though we went for an early business dinner and there restaurant was very empty. It was also very pricy for the quality of food and service we received.
Probably won't go back unless I have no choice."

"I work nearby and took my team out for lunch. The service was slow and the busboy didn't speak any English so he couldnt help with missing utensils or more water. The best thing about that place was the popovers and we didnt get any. With so many other choices available we will go somewhere else."

"Had a great time after work with co workers. We were going to have dinner but just kept ordering appetizers which were tremendous, in taste and variety of offerings. Unique items were the popovers, crab dip, and brussel sprout pizza. No dish was sent back uncleaned!"

"We love the other BLT locations. BLT Steak on 57th is a favorite! We ate at Casa Nonna a few weeks ago and it was outstanding. I was disappointed with BLT Bar & Grill. Went for a business lunch with colleagues. They both had sandwiches and were happy. I had a burger which I ordered medium-well and it was medium rare at best but the fries were excellent. The waitress was terrible! So was very inattentive, didn't really check on us and then brought us the check. She never offered dessert so we asked for the dessert menus after she dropped off the check."

"We were very disappointed! Our service was terrible, the food was way overcooked and they didn't have any cranberry juice in the entire place! It was only 7:30 and not very busy. Terrible experience and expensive."

"The space, the service and location is perfect. The food is not as good as it once was. The batter on the fish & chips was not delicate (more pub-style as in doughy and thick). The Branzino was bland and uninteresting. I hope it gets better as this was one of my favorite neighborhood spots at one time."
