This is a really great UES bar scene and it is not just for drinking cocktails. The full Cafe Boulud menu is available at the bar (plus the bar menu), so if you are dining alone this works well. The food at Cafe Boulud is of course excellent. The service is also excellent. They are happy to let you eat a la carte from the various menus. I have to say that I’m sorry to see the shrimp toast going away as they move their round the world menu to another cuisine; it was quite a moving experience. The foie gras torchon was excellent. Serving oysters with chimichurri is a unique and welcome spin on accompaniments. The scrambled eggs with truffles, a signature dish for Cafe Boulud, had a large amount of Australian truffles shaved on while you watch (that’s a good thing, not a bad, of course). The sliders from the bar menu were executed perfectly and had all the salt, acid, and fat to make them darn near perfect. In any case they are worth having. The duck breast was also executed exactly correct and the braised fennel was extremely, how shall we say, precise in terms of consistency, texture, and flavor (again, that’s a good thing not a bad). The desserts had really interesting seasoning and flavors, often enhanced by herbs. Overall I had a really nice meal and evening.

Great rotating drinks menu - theres the classics made well but theres always something new to discover and their special drinks have all had nice flavor profiles. Really fun art deco decor, swanky dimly lit ambience with cozy tables. Best for small groups unless you reserve the cool booth alcove in advance. Great date location. Good service. And theres usually not a wait.

Very swanky atmosphere. Well appointed decor. Staff knows their business as they are friendly and effiecient. Server with French accent was magnetic. Mini gratis snack offering was nice. Would be five stars but my bourbon glass was spotty.

This bar is so so nice and it was alot of fun. I went with my meetup group and they let me make a reservation in the bar area-I had to give my credit card but it was so nice to have a reservation. We stayed for 3 hours because it was a great atmosphere. There was a jazz performer and we ordered drinks and food. The drinks are pricey but you can weed out what you can afford-I ordered a $15 house tequila and seltzer. The bar has nice decor and its dark and swanky. Im definitely going back!!

One of the most beautiful rooms in all of New York, intimate and stylish, I have brought family, friends, and dates to enjoy their wonderfully original cocktails and very satisfying bar snacks. The staff is very friendly and helpful, from the bartenders to the bar manager. A New York must.

Great spot, the drinks are balanced and well made. The servers are on it. Theyll make you feel welcome and bar pleiades makes it easy to sit and have a nice conversation. Its not to loud, not to quiet. You still have youre own space and can still socialize with others at the bar.

Above and beyond any bar that I have every walked into for a drink. The service was very cordial and prompt. It was by chance that we went to Bar Pleiades; however the next time I am in Manhattan I will go out of my way to go to this bar.

Elegant. The perfect old fashioned. The best risotto I have ever had, probably will ever have. A magical experience.

Cute, quaint, after work classy. The restaurant is amazing. I ordered the lamb...beautiful medium lamb, with flavors I crave to have again very soon. The service was great, as they were very attentive, try the seating at the bar or comfy seats in front of the bar. The best seats are the booths...enjoy!

I love this bar. You can get here all the menu from the sister Cafe Boulud, without the need of getting an advanced reservation. Ambience is pretty elegant and drinks very well prepared and tasty. It is always a good option for a date with your significant other.

The Bar Pleiades located at 20 East 76th Street is in the Surrey Hotel, and i am under the assumption it is the hotels bar.I have been here on several occasions when i was awaiting for my table to be ready at Nougatine.As me and my guests were escorted into the bar, the staff welcomed us.Very pleasant staff and serves with a smile all the time.

A luxurious lounge that is perfect for people watching and sipping beautiful and tasty cocktails – try The Fascinator. And the bar snacks are scrumptious.

Our favorite bar by far during our week in NYC. Fantastic martinis and do not miss the sliders. Spendy but worth it.
