Driven by the spirit of the Irish Playwright, our bar pays homage to his genuinely prolific story. Oscar Wilde turns the Victorian Era on its head. Without relinquishing any of its glamour. Just like Wilde himself, we believe life should be lived to its fullest, with a touch of sophisticated debauchery. Why miss out on the fun?

    One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

    Our waiter Ben was outrageous. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what pairs well with each item. Bone marrow was perfect consistency and the braised short rib toast compliments the marrow perfectly. The dry aged steak was amazing and cooked exactly as requested. The fillet mignon was tender and cooked to perfection. Make and cheese was just the right mix of cheese pasta and bread crumbs. Look forward to dining again there.

    I went there with my wife for the Valentine's Day event that included six decadent little meals (salad, soup, finger sandwiches, scones, cake) paired with a delightful assortment of teas. It was wonderful, and so was the experience, which included a live violinist. Top notch!

    Our favourite restaurant whenever we are in NY. Impeccable food, service and ambience. Refined rather than brash like so many other restaurants in NY. A total treat.

    Delightful small pastry shop that has a very cozy budget tea. This isn't the generous overflowing mass of treats in most teas. You will be satisfied but may want to splurge on an extra mousse cake. because it is a small location you must book ahead. I have been to both locations and loved each visit.
