About this business
Resto, French slang for casual restaurant, opened its doors in April 2007. The concept of a laid back neighborhood gathering place with approachable Belgian food in the style of New York, was created by the owner, Christian Pappanicholas. Resto has become a destination in Gramercy Park/Murray Hill for a delicious dinner, weekend brunch or a late night bite. The knowledgeable and friendly staff is well versed in the extensive Belgian beer list and the thoughtful wine list which focuses on a selection of French, Italian and Sp... read more

Worst service ever!! – We waited for over 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated for brunch. The food took more than one hour to arrive. When we complained about the wait, the manger dismissed our concerns. At the end of the meal they automatically charged us 20%, which we thought was undeserved. I would never come back to this place again which is a shame because the food is half way decent.
Manager Should be FIRED! – I made brunch reservation for 9 plus three kids. i asked in advance if they had high chairs and they said yes. We arrived on time but weren't seated until almost 30 minutes later. A mother in our group asked to sit before the table was cleaned because her young baby was crying and she was told no. Of course she sat anyway because baby's needs came first. We waited ONE AND A HALF HOURS before all the food was brought to the table. When i asked for pitchers of water for the table they said no. When I... read more
Great Beer & Burgers – I love Resto! I love it so much that I had my boyfriend's last birthday dinner here. I have been here a number of times and have always had wonderful service and delicious food. Their beer selection is unmatched in the city. Their burgers are always delicious, as well as their bibb lettuce salad and grilled cheese (if you are lucky enough to go there for lunch). The staff has always been quite knowledgeable and friendly. The manager often stops by the table to check in. I would recommend this restauran... read more
Don't Waste Your Time – As of right now, Resto is at the top of my "Worst of 2009" list. Our waiter was an older gentleman, who was telling people at the next table over that he graduated high school in 1959. You would think that someone of his age has been around the block and would understand the concept of "service." Nope. He was rude and made comments about us not being "beer drinkers" because I felt like having Leffe Blonde, the Coors/Bud Light of Belgium. Then, after his comment, I ordered a Westmalle Trippel just to s... read more
Great for brunch – I will never understand why people insist on writing such negative reviews as though they were personally offended by a restaurant...I digress. Went to Resto for brunch after a recommendation from a friend. My guest and I had a very pleasant meal including great double-thick sliced bacon, a sweet "dutch baby" (sort of an ultra thick crepe) and the strongest cappuccino - ever! While the server did have to recall the specials, she was very nice and accomodating. After brunch, we sat at the bar for a beautifu... read more
Just go to MacDonalds w/ a 40 – I concur with Cheff1. This place is useless. Good beers, sure, but the burger was the size of my toe and the waitstaff was a couple fries short of a happy meals. Resto yourself and don't bother going. There's a MacDonalds across the street with better and bigger burgers.
dissappointin – I recently went to Resto this past weekend depsite the poor reviews figuring I would give it a chance anyways because the menu offered moules frites which I was in the mood for. My boyfriend ordered the ($15) cheeseburger and I think he would have had a bigger and better burger from McDonalds. They did not ask how it should be cooked and came out well done along with a stale small bun, like the kind you get in an 8 pack at the supermarket. I ordered the moules frites which had an odd fishy odor to them that m... read more
Not very Imp-Resto! – This place is fine if you're going for drinks only as they have an extensive and impressive beer selection list. The problem is, while this gastropub does well on the pub part, the gastro part is a disaster. Went with another couple and all 4 of us felt our dishes lacked flavor/ were too dry. The prices were very steep and what's worse is the portions were so small that we all needed to eat again after our meal. To top it off, service was inattentive and at times rude. All in all, if you go to this plac... read more
Two visits, both bad – I'm still not sure why this place gets a 4.5 star (and friends still keep recommending it). Both times, we actually sent food back.The steak recipe is "re-thought" but not in a good way. The Cod was gamey and undercooked. We also had the mussels but the fries (again, re-thought in a bad way) were thick and undercooked, actually cold in the center. On top of it, the acoustics are terrible so its very loud and the staff is pushy (turn and burn) to get you out the door. Its a limited menu and trying to be... read more
