Tuttles

Awful service and the waiters eat the food before giving it to the customer. It was hilarious! My boyfriend and I went there Thursday night and sat at the back and saw waiters carrying food and eating from the plate before giving it to the client. Disgusting but entertaining. Tuttles — please feed your waiters so that they don’t steal from their clients.

We waited for the food for over an hour. The food never came, we left.
Terrible management.

Terrible establishment run by an few male chauvinists who know nothing about customer service. Went there for brunch and was served pancakes that were absolutely charred. When I asked for the strawberries that were advertised on the menu with the pancakes the server returned with a couple of strawberries in a small dish. Server seemed apologetic and frustrated. The Garden out back is quite beautiful and probably the only thing that keeps this place alive– don’t throw your money down this bottomless pit.

I live across from Tuttles in Murray Hill so I frequent this bar regularly if I just want to grab the drink in the area or watch a sports game. There’s a nice garden patio in the back with wooden picnic tables — which is the best part of this bar in my opinion. I’ve never seen it overly crowded.
They have happy hours everyday ($ 5 beers $ 6 wines $ 5 shots) and $ 1 oysters. Drinks are $ 8-​$ 12 normally. I enjoyed the Guinness — the waitress poured it the correct way like how they do in Ireland. However, their sangrias are watered down.
Food is only okay — simple bar and brunch food. They have chips and dips, sandwiches, wings, and omelets for brunch. I came once to get their $ 1 oysters — but they were completely out of oysters Saturday morning at 11am, even though they had a sign outside that says «$ 1». How deceiving. Minus one star.
Overall, a decent place to grab a drink and catch up with friends. The Garden Patio in the back is unique and a great space to get together.

I was in New York for an event and our group hosted a happy hour at this bar. We reserved the upstairs and had food continually brought out to our tables while we ordered drinks from the bar and mingled. The drinks were good and graciously poured. The food we had was typical bar food. Mozzarella sticks, sliders, spinach dip, fried potato skins, mini quesadillas among other things, a good assortment of bar food.
I’m not sure what their regular menu looks like, but I would recommend this bar. Good atmosphere.

Just went to grab a drink with a friend and I stared at the back of the bartenders head for 15 minutes… Asked him if I could have a drink… He said yeah I will be right with you… He then turned around and served the others at the bar… #1 bartenders should never have their back to the bar, #2 have some manners homeboy #3 I will never go to this place ever again… Get a clue!

Tuttles, Tuttles, Tuttles. I used to like you until I was having drinks at your place last month and this happened:
I hear the sound of puke hitting the pavement… I turn to see a grown a$$ man throwing up at your entrance. No one at the bar did anything. No one told him to leave. No one came to clean up. No, you completely ignored him as he walked in still cleaning his mouth with his hands. He went into the bathroom and came back out only to sit at the bar. Your bartender preceded to serve him more alcohol as me and my friend stared at her completely disturbed. We mentioned it her as we covered our noses from the vomit smell. Still no one did anything.
Never have I experienced something like this. My friend and I were so disturbed we closed our checks to leave. Talk about ruining a night out. My night was complete when I had to ask (repeatedly) to have the side front patio door opened because I did not want to walk over the vomit on my way out. Unacceptable. Please don’t let your wasted patrons ruin the rest of your customers’ evenings at your establishment.
Besides this late night incident… I do like the brunch here.

I love this place. Great atmosphere and food, but the service is slower than Christmas even when they’re not too busy.
$ 1 oysters are unbeatable. The beer garden is great in the back when the weather is nice. Craft beers on tap. Service can be a little slow when they’re busy. Great atmosphere overall.

went here for brunch yesterday. couple of different thoughts:
1) when i called to find out about tvs at the location (for sunday football) — the person on the phone said we could reserve a table and he would take care of us (which was awesome!) and we had a nice big table outside.
2) when we sat down for brunch/​lunch it was about 2pm. just as a heads up — they ONLY service brunch menus on Sunday and there’s no negotiating for any of their lunch/​dinner options. a bit of a bummer because i wasn’t in the mood for eggs and wanted more of a lunch-​based meal.
3) the service was alright, our waitress was attentive and nice enough
4) had a bloody mary — it was a little watery, ended up having mac and cheese — DELICIOUS and french fries, also pretty good.
5) overall, food was good, service was OK, drinks were subpar.

A two story Irish bar with a decent backdoor garden in Midtown East — the outdoor space is noteworthy on its own, particularly in such a cultural wasteland. Though, it’s a bit pricey and I’ve found service to be abysmally slow across three distinct trips here. I don’t know why, but getting refills on 3 beers/​drinks often takes 5 – 10 minutes, regardless if it’s at all busy.
I’m left feeling that we are paying a premium strictly for the outdoor area. Without that piece, I would not ever come. There is a happy hour of $ 5 beers and $ 6 wines, but you’re paying $ 5 for a bottle of watery beer. Big deal.
Worth it if you work/​live in midtown east and need variety from your normal places. Otherwise, pass on to Pod 39 or Rio Grande for some outdoor time.

Nachos needed more cheese. Oysters for a $ 1 were ok. Drink portions were poor. I guess it’s ok for work if work pays for it

Hidden little gem in Upper Murray Hill (disclaimer: not the fratty part.) Definitely check it out when the weather is nice as Tuttels’ best feature is their outdoor courtyard. They pack everyone in on nice nights so be prepared to sit next to some strangers. But with the drinks rolling in, maybe you’ll meet some new friends!
The food is okay — mediocre bar food but the drinks are pretty good. I got a margarita, which was a bit pricy so next time, I will check it out during happy hour.
Overall — cute place in the fratland of Murray Hill.

Came here for a girls night out of happy hour and dinner. The happy hour is great; $ 6 house wines and $ 5 beer on tap. They have an awesome outdoor courtyard, perfect for summer, where we were seated for dinner. Our service wasn’t the best; our waitress didn’t pay too much attention to detail so we had to flag her down a bunch of times (when we needed more water, when we were ready to order, needed the check, etc.)
I definitely recommend the dollar oysters and the shared appetizer (it comes with calamari, guacamole, hummus, and skewers). You’ll definitely get the most for your money with those two appetizers.
Overall, we all loved the ambiance of the place, food was alright, but the service could have been better. If I return, I’d be back for the happy hour drink specials and $ 1 oysters.

Fun Murray Hill restaurant/​bar that has a great, fun atmosphere for post-​work happy hour drinks, but otherwise not the cheapest or best food/​drinks.
My favorite part about this place is the outdoor courtyard in the back that is really nice in the summer. It’s fun, it’s chill, and a nice escape from the concrete jungle of Midtown.
They also have $ 1 oysters which is a sweet deal, but the oysters aren’t exactly the best-​tasting or largest.

Not fond of the clientele… fraternity/​sorority vibe on a weekday evening, sitting on the back patio (where we were briefly drizzled on by rain).
We got two dishes to share– mac and cheese, and mixed greens with cranberries and walnuts. Expensive for what you get… the portions were kind of small and flavor so didn’t really stand out as anything spectacular. Service was brusque, but at least it was quick and we could get out of there quickly.

Two words: garden backyard! Who knew this little spot in Murray Hill would have such an awesome surprise? Their food is great and the brunch special can’t be beat: a selection of brunches with a drink for about $ 10.
The brunch plates are small, but really satisfying for a light meal. Plan to stay and have a few drinks while you sit outside in the sun!

This is a great place for happy hour for those who work in the area, especially when you’re coming with people you enjoy! Our work crew spent last night in the backyard celebrating a coworker’s birthday. Happy hour drink specials last till 7, with decent beer prices and well drinks that we all were happy with. Also you can’t beat the $ 1 oysters! Quality taste and hearty size if you’re craving these fresh treats.
The menu is pretty basic, but who doesn’t like quality mozzarella sticks? Good bar food, overall.
My company also held a work party here in October and booked the top floor — excellent, attentive staff so that everything went smoothly with a varied crowd from our executives to the on-​the-​ground troops we all had a great time. The open bar, wine, liquor etc was not skimped on. We all left sufficiently boozed… worth what we paid for I’m told from my colleagues who planned the event!
And the patio can’t be beat, I’m all about a quality ambiance. A nice little alcove that can make you forget you’re in the concrete jungle.

SO disappointing to come in to Tuttles after work and order a couple of brews (as I’ve down countless times before) and discover they’ve raised their beer prices to TEN DOLLARS upon receiving the check.
Listen, they can get away with it. This place is always packed and has the best beer garden in midtown.
But to raise your beer prices to $ 10 is an insult to anyone that routinely visits your bar. I love this place. Came the first week it opened, and almost every week after that. Always push it for after work happy hours. Recommend it to everyone for dates, food, whatever.
Sorry Tuttles… but you can get cheaper beers from nightclubs in meat packing.
Will NOT be suggesting Tuttles as an after work happy hour spot anymore.

$ 8 for a Yuengling? Never again.
I went here with a group of people. I had no hand in picking the spot. I’m not sure why they picked this place, but I think it must have had to do with the nice backyard. For me, that’s where the pros for this bar ended.
My biggest problem was that this place is very overpriced. We started out paying $ 7 for Yuenglings and then suddenly, and this was way past happy hour so it couldn’t have been that it ended, but then we started paying $ 8 for Yuenglings. Once I noticed that, a bunch of us just looked at each other and asked why we were even there.
Then I ordered food. $ 14 for what amounted to half of a chicken sandwich. I wasn’t impressed. A friend of mine spent $ 12 on a small plate of hummus and another got chicken wings. The wings looked the best. Everything else was mediocre and extremely expensive.
I would never go back to this place again. This point was driven home when I was walking back to the subway and saw multiple bars in the area advertising much cheaper beer. I guess they figure everyone out drinking in Manhattan are a bunch of saps. I’m staying in Brooklyn next time.

Quick poll for all of the gentleman readers out there: Have you ever ordered french toast at a restaurant?
If you have, send me a note and show solidarity with my boyfriend, who ordered the Bailey’s French Toast (Irish Cream Dipped French Bread, Mixed Berries, Apple-​wood Smoked Bacon Strips & Maple Syrup) and got laughed at by the waitress. She also said, «Awwww. I’ve never seen a man order french toast before.» …I’m pretty sure guys order french toast all the time, right? And where’s the line? Are they allowed to order waffles? Pancakes? How about if you call them flapjacks? What’s an acceptable manly breakfast dish?
Anyway, we thought it was a strange reaction. But I digress.
We came in last weekend with a Living Social deal that was about to expire. We each got an entrée and two adult beverages. I ordered the Eggs Benny (Two Poached Eggs with Scottish Salmon or Canadian Bacon served with Mixed Green Salad) with the salmon, along with a Bloody Mary and Vanilla Spiced Irish Coffee. The Eggs Benny was good– about what you’d expect from the dish. The salmon tasted fresh enough, the poached eggs were cooked properly, and the Hollandaise was on point. The Bloody Mary was sub-​par, however; they overdid it with the tomato juice. And the irish coffee was okay — a bunch of whipped cream on top followed by what just tasted like a blend of coffee and whiskey. I did have some of my bf’s «girly» french toast and it was pretty good. Very sweet, though.
The brunch atmosphere was also a bit uncomfortable. We were seated downstairs, and we were the only patrons in that room the entire time. There was a separate little enclave between the downstairs interior and the back patio where a few couples sat, and I gather that there were also people upstairs, but it was a bit awkward since it was just us and the staff hanging out in the room.
I’ve been here for happy hour during the warmer months a few times, and it’s a completely different vibe. The back patio is awesome and rather spacious, so under the right conditions, Tuttles can be an ideal place to visit if you happen to be in the Murry Hill neighborhood. But I wouldn’t necessarily recommend coming here for brunch in the winter.
