Bond 45 never seems to disappoint me. The welcoming service is always superb. The managers are always super friendly and helpful. There's always a welcoming face at the door, which is appreciated when entering an establishment that you dine at. The food is out of this world, I had the lemon chicken dish the last time I was here and it absolutely blew me away.

Came across this place while strolling through Times Square, and ordered the vodka pasta with the garlic bread appetizer. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente- which I love- and the sauce was super creamy but not too heavy! The bread was perfectly soft and dipped in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar was the perfect combination. The restaurant inside was pretty dimly lit and nicely decorated. We walked in around 1pm on Friday with no reservation and were seated quickly!

Attended a private dinner event in the basement of Bond 45. Pros: nice private dining experience, good service, decent food. Cons: HVAC system does not work, and the basement dining area was a sweatbox. Food: Tried a variety of appetizers served by the staff while mingling- large cocktail shrimp, crab balls, meatball sliders, etc. The appetizers ranged from good to poor. For example, the crab balls and meatball sliders were not good. Our group had a nice menu for dinner. Salad was good. Calamari was over salted. Filet mignon was good but overcooked. French fries were very over salted. Service: good service, especially for a large private dinner with about 150 people total Ambiance: semi-classy ambiance Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: unisex bathrooms, average cleanliness

i took a trip to bond45 with my dad because we were seeing hamilton. i made a reservation to be safe, though i don't think it wouldn't been necessary. however, i've wanted to see hamilton for YEARS, so being late was not an option. we were seated and our waiter was friendly & attentive. when looking over the menu, be prepared to put everything in at once. it'll come out separately (appetizers and entrees) but everything needs to be decided on. this wasn't an issue because i usually go for a pasta dish on any menu, my dad typically opts for steak, so on & so forth. for the appetizer, the mozzarella stick is giant but you can cut it into pieces and it's delectable ooey, gooey goodness. the marinara has tomato chunks and it tasted really fresh. the meatballs were okay, i'd skip them next time. i asked what my dad thought about his steak and he said it was great. it was very tender and flavorful. i loved my pasta. i was a little worried with the lemon butter sauce description, as sometimes it comes off as oily and lacks flavor but that wasn't the case here. the pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection and the sauce was decadent but light all at the same time. there's one shared restroom on the first floor, so it can get a bit backed up but i heard one of the workers say something about another restroom being downstairs. as stated, it wasn't crowded when we went, so i didn't have to wait long. overall, i enjoyed this meal. the restaurant is right across the street from richard rogers theatre! check it out :).

I love the ambiance of this place, it's classy and charming. Service was fantastic and easy. The food was good, we ordered the meatball appetizer- tender and delicious sauce. My main was the truffle ravioli with mushrooms- it was good but lacked enough truffle flavor and the mushrooms were barely there. I expected more from this dish.

We decided to get out of the rain for a drink & snack, but had no idea how great this place would be. The waiter was super personable & was happy to share recommendations. The restaurant appears to be on the fancier side, but they welcomed us in rain soaked & in our walking around clothes. The limoncello tart was one of the best desserts I've ever had! The drinks & truffle pizza did not disappoint either.

My daughter and I have a standing tradition of visiting NYC, and this year we opted to return to the Hotel Edison for convenience, consistency in quality, cleanliness and location. We made reservations at Bond 45 having eaten there in the past. As we walked into the restaurant from the hotel corridor (not outside door), there was an older woman with a walker-and family-trying to figure out the safest/easiest way to manipulate the already crowded stairs. So, we waited quietly, not wanting to create stressors for them, or have that lovely lady feel the need to rush. We made our way down and then to the back of the queue. When we made it to the kiosk, the gentleman looked at us and said, 'You're late'. I began to explain the situation and was turned around on. Not particularly nice, they were busy. But...I'm also a guest. We follow and are seated downstairs, crammed - crammed - in between two women (one of whom was practicing her, 'Can I see your manager' skills on our stretched but still amazing waitstaff). Because we were going to a show (The Play that Goes Wrong - MUST SEE!!), we ordered the Dover Sole and there was no talking at all. We're from the NH Seacoast so are a bit jaded, but the fish was perfect with capers, lemony sauce and Asparagus. A perfect amount. Our waitstaff was superlative. A really good sense of humor, seemingly not jarred by all of the Karen-ing happing to her, just smiling and nodding. The ambiance was frenetic but ppl were most probably driven by curtain times, so a pass for that. The food, however, did not suffer.

Nice place for dinner before a show. Especially recommend the vegetable appetizers. We ordered a plate of 5 vegetables to share for $33. They were all delicious -- grilled asparagus, cauliflower milanese, brussel sprouts cacio e peppe, brocolini aglio e olio, and string bean salad. I enjoyed the salmon entree and my companion enjoyed her homemade fettuccine with bolognese sauce. Next time I would try the pizza. They looked yummy and popular. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and tables were spaced and not crammed together. The service was attentive; however, despite knowing there was a patron with a nut allergy at the table, he gave us a dessert menu and only when asked again about nuts he told us that all desserts have almond flour. So, heads-up to keep reminding.
