Absolutely loved this place!! Such a smooth, classy vibe! It’s a great place to go with friends, on a company dinner or just for visiting NYC! Brendan was so kind and helpful and created the best experience for me! The chef was very accommodating of my allergies (gluten free) and was able to tweak a few things for me! Avery was my server and she recommended a martini for me and it was delicious! Overall, the experience at Valerie was one of a kind and I can’t wait until I’m back in NYC to come here again! Also the music was so fitting!
Came here for a slightly early dinner after a Broadway show with a party of 4 on a Sunday evening. We had a reservation, but it didn't seem like we would have needed one, but I suppose better safe than sorry. The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.
Julia, thank you for the best service ever! At Valerie, there are so many different areas for you to sit romantically in a candle lit quiet spot, or options of the bar and other lively spaces. I love carpaccio, Valerie has one of the best Waygu Carpaccio's...lightly salted, flavor forward Waygu, and the capers...less! The prawn and crab risotto was very tasty, prawns a bit overcooked, rubbery. However the risotto packed a bold seafood flavor that was spot on delicious.
Great experience!!! My husband and I had reservations for Sunday June 7, 2026 and the entire experience was amazing! We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese as our appetizer and it did not disappoint. Huge chunks of lobster and the cheese was ever so creamy. For my entree I ordered the Wagyu Hanger Steak and it was delicious, not a sliver left on my plate. My husband ordered the Italian Basil Cavatelli with spicy Wagyu sausage that blew him away. Our dessert was a Mango cheese cake and it was amazing, paired with our coffee. All of our drinks from the bar were served perfectly and very tasty. Our server Lydia was nothing but the best. Lydia took care of us as if she knew us for years, and her recommendations were perfect! Having dinner at Valerie was amazing and my husband and I will definitely return to enjoy the atmosphere and the hospitality. Totally worth the visit! Loved it!
This is a go to place for happy hour and dinner if in midtown. Chris is the BEST bartender ever. His recommendations for both the menu and some crafty cocktails are so on par! He’s got a gift! He was able to curate some awesome cocktails based on looking at a (and everyone loved them!). The hostesses are so sweet and accommodating (and pretty) it’s a welcome sight to walk into this nice place. Had the $1 oysters which were chucked to perfection. Everything was great! Highly recommend
