Via Restaurant & Lounge

I don't know who keeps going on and writing bad reviews, must be the same person because I myself and lots of my friends have been to via on occasion and always have a good time. The food is excellent and the vibe of the place is real

Pros: ALSO GREAT LATE NITE EATERY!!

If you haven't noticed by the reviews, VIA is NOT the place to be! I went for a friend's Birthday and it was ruined by the Owner and his big ego and money hungry attitude. He was being selective at the door for what was a planned event.

Pros: It's the company you're with that makes a party so choose wisely, don't go to VIA

Cons: Everything about VIA is a CON, especially the Owner

\r
Went to this place on Saturday, Not at all what I expected, a weird mix of really old people and really young people almost like 18 year olds running around trying to start fights pushing and shoving every one. They were not really

Cons: Two toilets in building Just makes no sence

So I just signed up to city search JUST to write a bad review about this place. Went to a party here this weekend not even our very fun group could overcome the lameness of this place. Let?s just summarize:\r
\r
- watered down &

The place might look nice but the OWNER and Promoters are CLUELESS about service. My friend and I threw our Birthday parties here this past Saturday and the Owner refused to let over 20 of my friends in. We already had 30 people inside

Cons: SERVICE SUCKED

Worse place over! I set my bday party and rolled up with 20 people. Half my party waited over an hour and did not get in. Once we did get it....It was your usual crap....overpriced little drinks...dinky dj playing his ipod

Cons: bad service, overpriced drinks...weak dj's....... tuff entrace exam.

I haven't been here yet, but i am looking forward to checking it out. looks nice. maybe i'll take my girlfriend

I have to say, that Via is the "Number 1" best place to eat and party in New York City. If you are looking for somewhere romantic for just the two of you, somewhere that has fantastic food or simply somewhere to have fun with a night club

Pros: Fantastic place for an evening out

Cons: No cons

Went to via last week w/some friends. Didn't do full dinner but had some apps and they were delish! Then we stayed all night, had great drinks, awesome DJ, just and overall good time. A very different kind of atmosphere, but something

Pros: Everything! Oh and a great late night Pizza spot!!

Food much below average, cheap, uninspiring and with no character. Friday night the place was empty, music no better than the recycled i-pod shuffle set.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not cool

Via is a great place, food is good and the atmophere is wonderful!! Been here just for dinner and for some drinks with the girls and its always a good time!! The mezzanine level is a nice chill place. I also love the staff, they are very

Pros: Open Late, Chill Place, Good for food anf drinks

The environment was lovely when I entered. An early quiet Saturday evening I go in for a drink and coffee at the bar, I order a B & B with a double espresso from the bartender. She asks me "Sorry, but what's "in" a B & B?" I explain that

Pros: cute place

Cons: unknowledgeable staff

Most reviewers have been wondering if the place is a lounge or a restaurant and I have to say...LOOK AT THE NAME PEOPLE....IT'S BOTH!! It's called Via Restaurant and LOUNGE!!! The other thing people are saying is that it's pricey...I

Pros: food, pricing

My husband booked a table for a party of 7 on a Friday night. Don't be fooled, you won't be sat next to a fireplace for dinner if you have a party of 2 or more and you prefer a table to a couch. Most diners end up by the front

Pros: Nice Waitress

Cons: Mediocre Food, Stinky Bathrooms, Pricey Drinks and Menu

Great ambiance! Music not too loud, not too soft, though I prefer the music to be a bit louder than a struggle. I like to jam a little bit. Sat quickly. Waitress rushed a bit while talking, but I don't mind that. I prefer efficiency

Pros: Tasty food. Nice ambiance to bring a date. I liked music

Cons: Food took 90 to come out. Not enough wait staff

Me and My boyfriend stumbled upon this really nice spot. The Music was fantastic and the drinks were great and farely prices. I can't wait to go again!

Pros: Great Musice, Drinks nicely priced

I planned my b-day here last week and can't wait to go back! The crowd was amazing, the music was awesome, the drinks were pretty cheap, and the doorman was very friendly. Unlike some of the clubs in this neighborhood, this place was

Pros: Great atmosphere, cheap drinks, easy door

Cons: wish the place stayed open until sunrise.

My birthday at Via was a great experience. The owner promised my party a table and bottle service and took care of it immediately as we all arrived. He even approached me and got us a round of shots. Overall everything was very

Pros: Great Service, Music

Some friends and I went bar hopping last saturday night and stumbled upon Via. We ended up staying here until 4am! We danced the whole night because of the great music. Crowd wasnt too shaby either.

Pros: Music, People

Between the rude staff, poor service, and lack of sound system, this place needs help. If you do end up going here, have some of the food and make your way down the block to a better venue with hotter people, better service, and good

Pros: The pro is I am not going there again

Cons: Everything

The location is strange, but the interior nice. The servers and "manager", total airheads. Pasta was hard and undercooked. Would have been a nice place to just go for drinks if it wasn't so hot. We were fanning ourselves with the menus

Went for a friend's birthday, started the night off with the people at the door being very rude, we had table service and had to wait 20 mins. to get our 1st bottle, and the service was terrible. I would never recommend this place.

The food was over priced and unremarkable, and the service was terrible. We were comped nothing even though it was my friend's birthday. Not that I would expect to be, but I see that many other reviewers were, so I just wanted to set the

WENT TO VIA LAST NGHT FOR DINNER WITH FEW OF MY GIRLZ.THIS PLACE IS GREAT!THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND THE SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC! THE MANAGER ANTHONY (tall guy shaved head)TREATED US LIKE V.I.P'S HE BOUGHT US A ROUND OF SHOTS AND MADE US

Pros: FOOD, DECOR, VIBE

Went for dinner with a friend, the place seems like it is not sure what it wants to be....A lounge or restaurant or club.

The food was ok, good bread....but the service was very poor. The waitress seemed confused and out of it all

Pros: decor

Cons: bathroom, poor service

The penne alla via was scrumptious and the service is prompt and accomodating. The drinks were reasonably priced, considering this is a spot in the city. There are some specialty drinks, but the Rioja is fantabulous. I enjoyed my dinner

The pizza was delicious, and all the other little snacky appetizers too. I thought from the street this place looked small, but it was really spacious and cute inside.

Pros: Pizza, cheese dish, ambiance

Thanks guys for a great bday party. Things could not off went smoother. My guests really enjoyed themselves, especially the hassle free door! I will be glad to recommend your place to anyone.

Pros: Service, Friendly Doorman

My company, Avenue A-Razorfish, had a event at Via last night and I cannot tell you the raves that everyone has been giving me today for introducing them to a place that the food is really good, the drinks are worth the money and they

Pros: Ambiance, Wait staff, Food & drink

I often eat dinner at Via's, I love the italian dishes, love the romantic setting , love the late night crowd. Great place to go with a large group or just with your mate. I highly recomend it.\r

I was at Via's on a Saturday night, had

Pros: good food, great crowd

I had a really incredible night at Via for my 25th birthday party. We went to Prey last Saturday, and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the crowd, the drinks, the staff and the vibe there. It seems like places in the city are getting so

From dinner to throwing a b-day party here, it was a nightmare. Everything went wrong. Staff/manager lied through their teeth the whole night. No A/C, charged others $10 or $20 for entry when they promised everyone on the guestlist

Pros: decor, dj/music

Cons: bad service/staff, food - lack of taste, no A/C

In the beginning it was pretty good... nice ambience, good drinks, good food and service. And then Bam! all of sudden karaoke started. I did read all the review and info about this place, it didn't say anything about karaoke. I was

Pros: drink option, price, service

Cons: karaoke

Had my b-day dinner here. Service was good, they tried to make us happy. It took them a while to figure out how to separate the checks though. The food is good. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I had a problem with is the

My birthday at Via was a great experience. The manager promised my party a table and bottle service and took care of it immediately as we all arrived. The owner approached me and got us a round of shots. Overall everything was very

Pros: Service, Martini

Via not only has a great variety of food, but at phenomenal price! Me and 11 of my friends went here for my birthday and had 4 bottles of wine, appetizers, main courses, and desserts and each paid no more than $35. Our waiter was very

Pros: food, service, price

Its a total hot box in there!!! There is no air and everyone around you is sweating and complaining about the heat. It is a very uncomforatable place to be

The best new restaurant lounge I've been to in a while. Great hot spot in trendy Flatiron area. The DJ keep the crowd into it all night. Service is top-level. The place was beautiful. I will definitely be back to try the food.

Pros: Music

I came to Via for a freinds birthday party and I was really impressed! The service was excellent, the brick oven pizza was phenomenal, and the Pomegranate Martini was to die for!! On top of that, one of the owners brought a cake sampling

Pros: Pizza, Drinks, Firplaces

Cons: none!!
