I can’t comment on the food because I didn’t eat there but I did stop in for an Old Fashioned (the specialty cocktail on their menu) a few times during my stay at the hotel and it was just .. perfect smokey flavor. Maple syrup.. so delicious

I love this place, we celebrated with my friend New Year and it was awesome. The atmosphere was nice, even when it was busy time the waitress payed enough time to us, suggesting nice wine. The manager Ernesto Rufin helped us the next day when we came and asked about lost AirPod.

Visited my niece and expected for wonders, although I was a bit disappointed. For the price of the dishes I wanted much more and got much less. The food was good but wasn’t mind blowing. Visit at your own risk.

I have been to SouthGate in the Essex House a handful of times for drinks and light bites after work or during the weekend. Located in the Essex House, this is a great spot on Central Park South for entertaining guests or going out for a date night drink if you’re looking for a high-end location to do so.

This was surprisingly bad. The food came out on a plate like I was at a Perkins or some similar middle-America chain. I asked for a side of Mayo and was brought a plate of little bottles like I was on an airplane. My $25 martini was sub-par…my fries were sad and wilted… my $35 burger was just average. My waiter came over exactly once to check on me over the course of an hour. Unless you are staying at the hotel and going simply for convenience do not bother. This hotel needs to do much better.

This was our second visit at SOUTHGATE for brunch and as the first one it was amazing The Manager Julette and Lady D went out of their ways to make us feel comfortable and welcomed and the service of the whole team was astounding. The food was yum-my and I‘m very much looking forward to our next brunch there!

It is not always easy to find a restaurant that is open super early on weekends, that is more than a café. One good option is to look for a restaurant nestled inside a hotel, since most of them are open from early hours for their guests. And, most of the restaurants are open for public as well, you don’t have to be staying at the hotel to be able to dine there. I found a restaurant inside JW Marriott Essex House New York, right across from the Central Park.
