Popular with the post-theater crowd, this NoHo eatery serves a diverse selection of international cuisine from steak to pot stickers.

Editor's Tips

Parking:
The medium-sized lot in the back is free, and valet parking is also available.
What to Drink:
For the wine enthusiast, wine flights are offered, allowing you to try smaller tastes of several varietals for about the same amount you'd usually pay for one glass.
When to Go:
Breakfast and unlimited champagne? Their special brunch menu brings together this unlikely combo on Sundays from 10 am to 3pm.

  15. What is SO SAD about this is, if they had a REAL wine drinker who owned the bar or ran it, the number of INCREDIBLE wines at DECENT prices would be on the list.
  16. It is sort of an artsy, jazzy wine bar with a GREAT VIBE!
  17. Great staff, but to call this a wine bar is a travesty

Fab

by natalyabrulya

When I go out to eat, I expect to pay a lot for my meal. I also expect to get a lot of food for that money. I'm a bit of a foodie and only want the best. Well, this place did deliver a great meal that I really enjoyed, only the portion was so small that I left feeling hungry still. The price wasn't worth the meal. However, the ambiance is very nice.

What's Not to Like?

by kittieskarma

I've read the bad reviews, I've read the mediocre reviews, and I just don't get it. My family and friends began coming to Eclectic last year, and it's one of the best casual restaurants I can recommend.

The staff is a delight, the food has always been wonderful, and the atmosphere is creative and artistic.

I'm in shock that anyone was disappointed in this restaurant, and would love to know what they consider a good restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant!
