    Really good restaurant with very tasty appetizers, pasta, tuna, veal, desserts, everything tasted great.

    I came here with 6 of my coworkers for lunch last week - we're already considering coming back!

    Rolled in on a weekday, this place looked a lot nicer than the street view offered.  Very comfy seats, nice tables, good lighting, solid decor, all in all a good spot.

    For appetizers, we ordered nearly everything (because that's how we work) - the octopus, tuna tartare, steak tartare, burrata, tomato soup, and grilled romaine salad were all ordered.  Of those the winners were the tuna tartare- really great quality, a solid amount of fish and avocado; and the burrata - the mozzarella was just amazing, so soft and fluffy and tasty and yummy and I want to eat more of it right now.

    For lunch, another full round of entrees were procured - I got the veal milanese - soft, light, so flavorful, so amazing, yeah it was really good.  The gnocchi was divine as well - beautiful little pillows of yumminess.  The rest of my crew was very happy with their entrees as well - net net, not a bad pick in the bunch.

    The portions themselves are pretty solid - not huge, but enough to take care of me and more than cover the women I was dining with.  But when the dessert cart came, oh well it was on like Donkey Kong.

    The chocolate cake - simply decadent & divine, so soft and so fresh.  The apple tart was perfect.  And the key lime pie piece was really unique and flavorful.

    When it came down to it, as a group we probably ordered 16 different items across three courses.  Of those, everything was a winner.  You'd be a winner too if you came here.

    really really great and classy place! we tried the tuna pizza, branzino, and a ravioli, and everything was amazing. The wine selection, ambiance and service were also spectacular. go before they become really well known.

    Methinks I smell a rat in these 5 star reviews......I don't like to bash places unless they're really awful and it's not that this place is really awful it's just not where you want to try and grab a drink. First of all the space really looks nothing like the pictures. It's really not elegant, sexy, cool or any other good adjective you could use. I went based on the reviews, big mistake. I walked in around 6 on a Tuesday night to meet some friends for drinks and this is what I encountered. A few tourists standing by the bar, some more scattered at tables, it looked like someone sold them a 1/2 off coupon in Times Square. I sat at the bar, there was a woman to my right and a small group to my left. There was 1 harried bartender that was actually reading the ingredients to all the drinks as he was desperately trying to make them. In the 15 minutes I was there, he didn't acknowledge ANY of us at the bar. The gentleman to my left finally asked for a drink menu and the bartender didn't even look up from his recipe and just slid it across the bar. The guy handed it to me to be polite. I said "no worries, I'm out"! Drinks are like $19 and you can't even get one which was fine as I have zero  confidence in the bartenders ability. The woman to my right left with me. This place will never last.

    amazing atmosphere, very comfortable arm chairs, the steak tartar was the best i've had in a long time and the chocolate cake was so tasty and fresh. The manager Anastasos made us feel so welcomed, we definitely going back.

    I had dinner at B & Co. a few weeks ago and it truly is the "chic new hotspot" it claims to be! There is a great crowd and atmosphere, and as the weather is nicer the front windows open for a street view. The overall feel of the restaurant is very Mediterranean and very classy, and the chances of you seeing someone famous while here are great- really makes you feel like you're a celebrity as well! The service is amazing, and every course from appetizer to dessert are unparalleled. The owners frequently walk around to check and make sure everything is great, and it truly is. I highly recommend B & Co. to anyone in New York!

    I've been to B & Co. twice for dinner, and I can't wait to go back again for their brunch special. The décor is very chic and the long marble bar sets the scene for a luxurious night out. I ordered the ahi tuna pizza both times...absolutely amazing! The burrata pugliese (burrata with tomatoes and olive oil) is also worth mentioning. The burrata was probably the freshest I've ever tasted this side of the Atlantic.

    As I was eating dinner, I happened to notice a few high profile celebs walk in...don't want to mention names but it was definitely exciting! Between the chic décor, amazing food and high class service, I will definitely be returning back for more.

    I went there rather late but it was still very lively. You might see celebrities among guests. Have to recommend their dessert tray. They would bring the dessert options to your table. The service was very professional and attentive. Food is awesome! Definitely the new destination for fine dining experience!

    Great new spot with beautiful decor!  I cannot wait to try brunch after having a late lunch and dinner here last week. The lounge was fun and I am definitely looking forward to coming back.
