Great experience!!! My husband and I had reservations for Sunday June 7, 2026 and the entire experience was amazing! We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese as our appetizer and it did not disappoint. Huge chunks of lobster and the cheese was ever so creamy. For my entree I ordered the Wagyu Hanger Steak and it was delicious, not a sliver left on my plate. My husband ordered the Italian Basil Cavatelli with spicy Wagyu sausage that blew him away. Our dessert was a Mango cheese cake and it was amazing, paired with our coffee. All of our drinks from the bar were served perfectly and very tasty. Our server Lydia was nothing but the best. Lydia took care of us as if she knew us for years, and her recommendations were perfect! Having dinner at Valerie was amazing and my husband and I will definitely return to enjoy the atmosphere and the hospitality. Totally worth the visit! Loved it!

Came here for a slightly early dinner after a Broadway show with a party of 4 on a Sunday evening. We had a reservation, but it didn't seem like we would have needed one, but I suppose better safe than sorry. The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise!

Chose this place because it was on a list of decorative restaurants for the holidays and when I looked at the menu the freezer martinis looked appealing. Unfortunately both were a disappointment. The decorations were nice, but nothing spectacular and while the martini was tasty it was prebatched and came in a bottle with a screw cap. Having said this the food was surprisingly tasty. The calamari was lightly breaded and tender with a good amount of jalapeño’s and the beer and buratta salad was delicious and beautiful to look at. The carrots could have been cooked a little more but the buratta was creamy and the crushed nuts added great texture.

Julia, thank you for the best service ever! At Valerie, there are so many different areas for you to sit romantically in a candle lit quiet spot, or options of the bar and other lively spaces. I love carpaccio, Valerie has one of the best Waygu Carpaccio's...lightly salted, flavor forward Waygu, and the capers...less! The prawn and crab risotto was very tasty, prawns a bit overcooked, rubbery. However the risotto packed a bold seafood flavor that was spot on delicious.

This is a go to place for happy hour and dinner if in midtown. Chris is the BEST bartender ever. His recommendations for both the menu and some crafty cocktails are so on par! He’s got a gift! He was able to curate some awesome cocktails based on looking at a (and everyone loved them!). The hostesses are so sweet and accommodating (and pretty) it’s a welcome sight to walk into this nice place. Had the $1 oysters which were chucked to perfection. Everything was great! Highly recommend

This is a great little restaurant to have a high quality dinner in a beautiful atmosphere, get a feeling of the vibrant city life. The cocktails are generous, the food is good quality and fairly priced. Portions are reasonable -not too big, the desserts are amazing. They have a creative menu that will make your choice difficult. The staff are very attentive. Happy hour can be crowded so book your table in advance.

VALERIE is an absolutely outstanding spot right in the heart of the city. This bar has a real sense of history, and it’s definitely a place you must visit. Their oysters during happy hour (4–7 PM) are simply incredible — easily some of the best in the city. I’m usually taken care of by a bartender there, and she does an amazing job — she somehow reads exactly what I want without me even saying it. I genuinely love this place and highly recommend it to everyone.

Valerie was definitely worth a visit! It’s such a cool bar with a really nice, stylish setting that works for almost any occasion. Their cocktail menu is impressive they have drinks inspired by different places around the world, and the bartenders are talented enough to make almost any combination you can think of. Whether you’re looking for a specific classic or something unique, they really know their craft. I would definitely recommend this spot to both small and big groups alike, as the atmosphere is lively and accommodating for everyone.
