    3/8/25 Was my first time there for a dinner date and comedy show, my wife loved it. Love the ambiance, food and drinks were great, not crazy expensive and customer service was top notch! As we were being seated for dinner, I told the staff we had tickets for a show and when time came, they escorted us to the Main Room and gave us priority seating! I will be on their website checking out the lineups from now on as The Stand will be one of my go to places to take my wife out for some good food, drinks and a few hilarious laughs!

    Bought the bottomless brunch option on pulsd. Debate with the staff about whether or not Prosecco was included as an option, when the deal clearly stated that it was went on waaaay too long for my taste. Watered-down pre-mixed mimosas were straight up OJ. Servers were nice enough and food was good. Not my 1st time there but probably won't return

    Besides them giving me the wrong check which if I didn’t look at it before I left would have been over charged.

    I have never been to the Stand. I will say it wasn't super clear on how to book the show and dinner. I tried to call several times thru the week, but no answer. So I booked the show and dinner separately. I will say having the dinner afterwards made it less 'rushed'. The service was not great. There was 1 waiter that was taking orders and closing out tabs for like 20 tables. Even though he was friendly, he was just overwhelmed. We enjoyed the food and overall had a good time.

    Food was good and the atmosphere was nice. Alcoholic drinks were small and pricey.

    Stopped in for dinner before a concert at Irving Plaza - who knew a comedy club could have such amazing food! Staff was great, place is beautiful, bone marrow appetizer was delicious, so was the prosciutto wrapped Mahi Mahi. Will definitely be back. If the comedy is half as good as the food I'll probably wet myself from laughing LOL Highly recommended

    One of the worst experiences. Was charged for several items we didn’t order or receive. When I told the manager she said she would “educate me” on a minimum no one told us about.
