Mulberry Project
Mulberry Project is a chic restaurant and subterranean cocktail lounge tucked beneath the 'Mean Streets' of little Italy, and boasting an impressive outdoor garden in the rear. The ever-evolving menu of creative plates by Executive Chef Michael "Kiwi" Camplin prominently features market fresh, seasonal ingredients and a variety of flavors to please all palates and perfect to share. The market fresh theme continues behind the bar where some of New York City's premier bartenders offer a 'no-menu' approach to cocktails, striking up conversation and tailoring each guests' libation to his or her particular taste with fresh fruits and exotic ingredients. The outdoor patio & garden feature a 55-person seated dining area with the wooden booths for a group setting, as well as smaller intimate tables for two. Installations and exhibitions by notable street artists adorn the walls and outdoor space, harkening a New York that is seldom seen anymore.

"Very trendy. Be sure to make a reservation if you plan on having dinner, gets very crowded. Food was delicious and drinks were yummy."

"Went to dinner here last week. The food was fine but it is not really a place to dine. There is only 1 wine on offer and while the cocktails 'are matched' to the food, they really didn't match. The music was so loud speaking to each other was impossible.
Saying that, when the rest of my party left in frustration, I stayed on with a friend and really enjoyed the music and cocktails. This place is a must for cocktails - do not bother going for the food."

"I've only been here for drinks and it's a great place. I love their ordering concept and I'm always happy with the drink that arrives. They have a nice outdoor area but the music inside can get very loud."

"I thought this was going to be more of a restaurant but it's way more of a bar. The food was good although we were encouraged to order way too much food. The seating arrangement is pretty tight and awkward - you are literally hearing every word from the table to your left and right. The drinks which were supposed to be the highlight of this place were less than mediocre. They also listed me as a no show to open table which then had to be resolved. I won't be returning."

"Had been here once before on a thurs night for drinks. Great cocktails and place looked lively and food looked good. Came back for a Friday night dinner. Service was slow, bar was full and it took mearly 15 minutes to get our cocktails! Menu is super limited. Only about 9 small plates to choose from, 4 pricey entrees and a few sides. Food was ok nothing amazing. But again, second round of cocktails took another 15 min! Music also is playing so loud you are literally yelling across the table. Will probably return for cocktails on a week night but no more dinners."

"Absolutely love Mulberry Project! I hadn't been in a few months. Not totally sure how I felt about it this time...usually I order an ambiguous drink but the waitress this time was trying to be more directive about my drink. I also am not sure how I feel about the new small plates menu but that's probably just because I wasn't used to it. Still an amazing place and will be back!!"

"This is a cool little spot. The dish concepts were great but all of our dishes were over-salted (a duck dish we got literally had a pile of sea salt in the middle). The bacon wrapped dates were the only exceptional item we ordered and I highly recommend them. Will perhaps return for cocktails when the weather is warmer and they open up the patio."

"Would not recomend for the food. It was terrible.
Speakers are so close to the tables, makes it uncomfortable to eat.
They should just focus on their great drinks and close the kitchen.
This should just be a bar!"
