Minetta Tavern was opened in Greenwich Village in 1937. The Tavern was named after the Minetta Brook, which ran southwest from 23rd Street to the Hudson River. Over the course of its long history, the Tavern was frequented by various layabouts and hangers-on including Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, E. E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould, as well as by various writers, poets, and pugilists. Since its renovation, Minetta Tavern has best been described as "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern." We hope — and believe — that's a somewhat accurate description of the place.

Service was awful. Food was mediocre. For an iconic NY establishment, I was not impressed.

Loved Minetta Tavern! The hamburgers are really worth all the hype. I got the Minetta and my fiance got the Black label - they were both incredible. We also got the gruyere soupe appetizer which is basically a brown broth with cheese and baguette all in it - absolutely to die for! All around just amazing. They even put candles in the dessert we ordered bc I had told them it was our anniversary upon booking.

Great for a classic and special occasion meal. The Black Label burger is outstanding, and the chocolate soufflé is a must!

Booked a table for New Year’s Day. Our table wasn’t quite ready when we arrived so we walked up to the bar, every seat was taken, but the bartender was eager to offer us a drink menu and follow up quickly with getting our order, even allowing me to taste the wine I ordered before pouring a full glass. Great service! The place was packed with local patrons, as well as visitors. Escargots were prepared in a flavorful garlic sauce and served piping hot in a pastry covered bowl rather than the traditional pods and shells. Very tasty! We shared the black label burger, one of the best we have eaten and the steak frits was tender and grilled to perfection. Better than if you ordered in France! Our waiter was attentive and swift with requests. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to NYC. Make reservations well in advance.

Was transiting to Asia via NYC and had a 5 hour layover so headed for a black label burger. We were promptly taken care of per our reservartion and seated a bit early after explaining we had a pending flight. Busy as usual, burger exceptional and worth the effort

I have been to Minetta Tavern before, many years ago. I was looking for a place to take my boyfriend for a steak dinner (we do lots of steakhouses but I wanted a different atmosphere) and after looking at a number of 'best steak in NYC' lists, I decided on Minetta Tavern. The best part of the meal was the cocktails. Expertly prepared and perfectly balanced. I would come back if only to have a drink. The food was average. We had the endive salad to start. Meh. nothing memorable. Dressing tasted like it came out of a bottle. The brandade fritters were properly seasoned but somewhat cold. We both had steak for our main course. We asked for the filet mignon to be well done and it came back medium. The NY strip was supposed to be medium rare and it came back rare, almost blue. They put it back on the grill, and by the time it came back out, our sides were cold and unappetizing. No one offered to replace them or otherwise give us fresh sides. Our waiter also never asked us if we wanted wine or something to accompany the meal, which I thought was odd. The maitre d' did come over at the end with some lovely Muscadet which was very nice. Overall, Minetta Tavern had a pleasant vibe, the service was pretty decent, but the food was not a standout. I would not go there for a special occasion or anything but it's decent fare if you are in the village and looking for something hearty to eat.
