    The food was ok. Basic bar food. Really nothing special as far as dining goes, but it was alright. The drinks were great and the service was fine. It was a little hyped up in my opinion.

    My fiance and I had a great meal at McHale's before attending our show at Gershwin Theater across the street. Our server was kind and the atmosphere was pleasant. Overall, the food and drinks were delicious. We booked a reservation to be safe, but plenty of tables were available upon our arrival at 5 pm.

    This was my first time eating at this establishment. Everything was wonderful. The food was good and everyone’s meal was prepared as requested. Our server, Ethan, was new and did an outstanding job.

    Great place to eat before seeing Wicked on a Sunday afternoon. The food, service, and location were perfect. We weren't rushed and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Our waiter was wonderful. Would definitely eat here again.

    Having made a reservation, we were shown our table right away and and before long, our orders were taken and promptly served. Our server did an excellent job. I commented to one of the gentleman at the door that Mikhail’s had the best fish and chips I’ve had so far. Yeah, cause it’s up against the naked

    We had FISH AND CHIPS with Meg! We were there, pre-Broadway show, and had a terrific time, watching some playoff football, enjoying a great meal, right around the corner from the theatre…no rush, no fuss!

    Everything was wonderful, especially our server! We came here while our daughters were seeing a concert at radio city. It was the perfect place to watch all of the sporting events that were going on.

    Neat pub atmosphere. Food average, roast beef with veg entree was actually sliced deli beef. Cocktsils just average. Nice location across from Gershwin Theater.
