For the price, A+ – Don't come expecting fancy ambiance or cheery service. Come expecting very good comfort food, well prepared and extremely tasty. The price was right, and the proportions were plentiful. BYOB is a big plus. No revs needed, as there seems to be a pre-theater crowd. Walk in at 6pm or 7:45pm and you should be fine. Comparison: Westville, sans flies, sans hot dogs, sans florescent lights.

Avoid this NOOK – Been here twice, and both times i wanted it to be great. Unfortunately, it fell flat both times. Place is TINY... thus the name; but that's ok. There are a lot of great tiny places in NY. The service is BAD!! There was one girl working the floor (maybe 6 tables) and she really didn't know anything about the menu. Every question was answered by "lemme go check." After a 45 minute wait for the appetizers, I asked the waitress to check on the apps. She replied "they're not ready yet." The actual entrees are pr... read more

Good Little Nook – Very good food in a very casual atmosphere for a very inexpensive price sums up this restaurant. Yes, the service can be a little haphazard due to only one person working the front of the room and maybe two the back, but this is the only way a restaurant this size and price can work and the people who go there usually recognize that fact. All the food on the small menu is very tasty and the desserts are superb. Net-net, I'd definitely go back.

I Will Never Eat At Nook Again – Eating dinner at Nook last night was a terrible. experience. Our food took 40 minutes to arrive. We were starving. I thought I would eat my napkin. We devoured our bread basket, which didn't come with enough butter, or bread plates, for that matter. We ate off the table and brushed our crumbs on the floor. We were being ignored and there was next to no one in the place. No one approached our table during the 40 minutes that we waited for our food to arrive. No one acknowledged the fact that t... read more

Love this cozy restaurant – Everything is always delicious. Definitely try the mushroom cigars for starters but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Fries are super tasty. The restaurant is *very* small so call ahead if you're going to be more than a party of two. Service is always friendly.

Under $80 – Two starters Crab Cakes and Stuffed Mushrooms. Burger (quite delicious), Salmon, One very good Chocolate mousse. $63. BYOB. Nice local atmosphere no tourists. Pleasant staff. Low lights, funky non intrusive music. This works.

Best Kept Secret in Hell's Kitchen. – Hidden in plain sight on 9th Ave between 50th and 51st Streets. Yes it's small -- you should probably get that from the name -- but it's definitely worth the wait should you have one. The food is fantastic and very reasonable. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the specials are always great, especially the desserts. Konrad's a great host and will make you feel at home. Nook is a great neighborhood gem and always makes for a terrific meal.

The Best of Hell's Kitchen – Anyone who happens by this delightful little restaurant in Hells Kitchen is sure to become a regular. The Nook offers some of the most delicious food in NY, and for the right price. Their BYOB policy is also pretty handy, and the quaint, unpretentious atmosphere makes it one of the most intimate and relaxing spots I've been to in years. And if you're lucky, you'll run into the owner - Krazy Konrad - who if invited will sit down, have a drink, and regale you with stories of his native Poland. Beca... read more

Cozy, delicious gem – Terrific small cafe feel. Tables are packed together in a small but character-filled room -- and it works. Atmosphere is very personable and welcome. The food and value are outstanding. The menu is appropriately small, and I've found the food delicious and hearty. We've had the two steaks, burger, tuna, goulash -- and have really liked everything. Must try a side dish of red cabbage - it's the best I've ever tasted. What a find. There's only a handful of tables and I don't think they take reservations, ... read more
