Excellent frozen margaritas- Tuesdays have great deals! Was there for an early dinner and it was not overly crowded or loud. I enjoy the Chalupas as the chorizo is delicious and the rice and beans are delicious as well. While we were politely reminded of the table time limit when we were seated- we did not feel rushed. Our waiter was excellent!

I love Bond St. the service is phenomenal and the food excellent. The chef remembered me from when I used to frequent with my close friend that has psince moved. We’d always order a ton of food but kept coming back to a specific item, time and again. This time, when i went alone, i was pleasantly surprised by the dish arriving with all the other items I had placed. Although I am one person, I always order as though I am out with 2-3 people to make sure I get a taste of all items I am curious about. This time was no different. It was exceptional as always and I am so happy to have come back to a favorite. I’m looking forward to frequenting again this coming fall. Chefs kiss ;) hehe def a great time, overall. Highly recommend!

    The Public Theater has reinvented, rebranded, and renovated its restaurant “Library at the Public”. Moving forward, it will be known as ASTOR, which now has more tables (they have purposed the adjacent balcony space for dining, thus adding another 15-20 tables. There is also a new snack bar in the Public Theater lobby. It’s all successful and the “new” Astor still has charm, good service, and good food and drink choices. The wait staff is well trained and welcoming. The menu has limited choices (which is smart, since most diners also have theater tickets, this time is a key factor. Plus—and this is very important—there is no loud music or noise distracting from the dining experience. Dining at Astor is relaxing and quiet. Bravo!
