“ Overall rating: 4.7 Stumbled on this place on a Sunday afternoon & so happy I did. I loved the description in the menu and just got a cocktail to chill. The bartenders were very friendly and left me alone after serving. It was a very refreshing feeling! I can’t remember what I ordered but I liked it. I wish the spot wasn’t so far away from where I live (near prospect park). But will definitely be going again if I’m in the area. Would love to try the place at night! ”
“ Graham the bartender helped us & waited our table. He was fantastic, made good recommendations & kept the delicious cocktails coming. Great servers make or break a restaurant experience. Graham was funny, polite & so welcoming. The brunch was also delicious. Try the avocado toast or steak & eggs. You can’t go wrong with this very cool, inviting tavern. ”

“ Madam Mikettes 987 Second Avenue Wow! What a gem on Second Avenue (between 52nd and 53rd)! It’s a must stop in Midtown East! And cocktails and good vibes are served until 4am! The cocktail menu is so so original! I personally love the “Strange interlude”! I won’t be a stranger at Madam Mikettes! The food menu is so creative and original.

“ I had dinner at Madam Mikette’s this past Monday and the experience was great — mostly because of the amazing service from the hostess, Maribel. She was the first person I saw when I walked in, and right away she set a really welcoming tone. She got us seated quickly and smoothly, but what stood out most was that she didn’t just stop at the door — she actually checked in with us a few times during the night, even after we’d already ordered. Her energy was warm and genuine, and she carried great conversation each time she stopped by. It made the night feel a lot more personal and thoughtful, which is rare. You can tell she cares about making sure people are having a good time, and it really made a difference. The space has that classic old-school charm — very comfortable but with character. The food was great too — I still keep thinking about the raspberry cheesecake at the end. Overall, I had a great time and would absolutely go back. Maribel really elevated the experience. ”
“ Best place in the world. Aidan - the Irish bartender - is a GEM. Best in the business. Fantastic drinks and a rockin atmosphere. Love love loveeeeee ”
“ The best hidden gem in new York city for hosting a large private party! We hosted our engagement party at Madam Mikette’s for around 110 guests in their gorgeous upstairs space, and I honestly can’t imagine a better experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The space is stunning — warm, stylish, and so spacious (it could easily hold 200 people without feeling crowded). Mary and the bartenders were incredible — accommodating, kind, and so thoughtful in working within our budget without compromising on anything. The food and drinks were incredible and reasonably priced. Our guests couldn’t stop raving, and we’re still getting compliments weeks later. If you’re looking for a spot to host a private event that people will remember forever, this is the place. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. ”
