Rewan PartiApril 7, 2015Must order the French onion soup dumplings and mini lamb gyros. The big sexy burger is also a favorite. Make sure you have reservations and come in early to enjoy drinks while you wait at their lounge
Zeba SiddiqiJuly 30, 2016Really nice place for special occasions. Order their ravioli with corn , lamb gyros , fish tacos and french onion dumpling soup. Pair it with a great wine!
Paige CNovember 22, 2016Did you know they have an entire Gluten Free menu? Awesome! Food is outstanding! Tuna tacos, beef with broccoli, the dumplings! And their drinks, yum. Service was outstanding!
Caroline JouinotMarch 28, 2013In my opinion, one of the best place for eating out in the city. 'tapas style' comfort food with a gourmet twist, i keep coming back for the crab meat corndogs and tuna tataki. Great bellinis as well.
Ana Maria VillarNovember 4, 2014Everything is delicious! I had an amazing brunch with 2 friends. We ordered 6 dishes and everything was AMAZING! I will definitely come back here.
Alexis MichalakisJanuary 11, 2014Must get the French onion soup dumplings, goat cheese pierogies and chicken & waffles. Crab cake corn dogs, Mac & cheese not worth it. Strawberry fields drink is great and pumpkin pie sundae is must!
Todd HamiltonSeptember 1, 2015Great cocktail lounge upstairs and even better dining downstairs. I enjoyed Stanton as much as any restaurant I've been to recently. And yes, the onion soup dumplings are great.
French dumplings, pierogies, edamame, red snapper tacos are a couple of must orders. Top it off with the movie theatre Sunday!!!
- Zeba SiddiqiMarch 28, 2017Chicken taquitos & Arepas are a must order! Pair it with a good glass of wine or cocktail
Mustafa Taha ÖzalMay 14, 2016Not many tourist knows this place but if you want to experience a good american kitchen and bar this is the place.
ChristinaJanuary 31, 2016You'll be seated after your reservation (you won't mind once you start eating). Skip the mac 'n cheese, order the French onion soup dumplings and lamb gyros for sure. End w/ the movie theater sundae!
Michael MuseSeptember 10, 2014My top place to send tourists and out-of-towner friends to. Its totally nailing that 'unique, trendy New York something-fusion' vibe; and the food is pretty good to boot.
Honghui YuAugust 14, 2014This place is PACKED on weekends. I made reservations for a Friday night and still had to wait 45 minutes for a table. The food is delicious though - try the French onion soup dumplings and donuts.
Bar upstairs was awesome. Chill vibe for a group of friends to sit on couches with strong drinks and perfectly crafted portioned bites. French onion soup things are bomb
Aileen TseApril 6, 2013absolutely have to get the French onion soup dumplings (make sure you take plenty of the melted cheese with your dumpling) and the huevos rancheros egg tacos at brunch are heart-warming
Giovanni D'PalmaMay 29, 2016This place is doing brunch right. Tapas style allows you try a number of dishes and keeps the group busy. The dishes were tasty try the French onion soup dumplings or Oreo pancakes
Angelique HoutveenFebruary 26, 2016Really liked this spot! Red snapper taco's are very nice! We had so much I don't remember all the names but all of it tasted delicious.
Tanay JaipuriaNovember 29, 2014Great spot for brunch, especially for groups. Get a bunch of small items like granola, pancakes, eggs Benedict and French onion soup dumplings to share
Halstead PropertyDecember 3, 2012Must try the Gingerbread twinkie w/ pumpkin cream cheese filling. The twinkie gets a high-class makeover & is made of fresh baked gingerbread cake & molasses filled w/ spices like cardamom and nutmeg.
Ange SMay 12, 2013Get the French Onion Dumplings and the red snapper tacos! If you have a sweet tooth, the doughnuts (really doughnut holes covered in cinnamon and sugar) are awesome and fluffy.
Deepti NayakJuly 3, 2013The best food I have had in months. Lamb souvlaki, french onion soup dumpling and cheese pirogue are must eats. They also have the most amazing creme brulee.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: A-. The eclectic small plates give classic brunch dishes a breath of fresh air. A trendy vibe perfect for sharing tapas and gossip with your girlfriends. Read more
Collette SJune 21, 2015Fantastic cocktails. Warm donuts, kale salad and French onion soup dumplings do not disappoint! One of my favorite LES spots.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾September 20, 2014The French onion soup dumplings are as good as everyone says. The whole menu is amazing. It can be a little loud but worth it.
Lori LuoNovember 9, 2014Brunch is the better option, complete with live jazz, Oreo Pancakes, and decadent Kobe Beef Sliders. Make sure to get a reservation in advance!
Lyn HastingsFebruary 20, 2015Drop everything and run over to Stanton Social for the lobster roll slider and warm donuts. What?! It will change you forever. Kudos Chris Santos.
- Michael MuseDecember 14, 2014This is my #1 rec for gals in from out of town. Its got this Sex and the City vibe to it, though not like a girly place or whatever. The food is actually great.
Guestlist.comMarch 13, 2012Monday nights are best nights to dine and cuddle with models, just make sure they are willing participants. Great tapas styled menu for any group. Oh French Onion Soup Dumplings - a must!
MikeJanuary 11, 2014leave the doughnuts for the po po and get pumpkin pie Sundaes. ALSO: chicken and waffles. now I get understand what southern people are going on about. Trendy crowd, loud, candles and tiny tables.
Danielle WhitedMarch 1, 2015Can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. But my favs are the French onion soup dumplings, the periogies, and the French toast sticks.
Carolyn AngiolilloDecember 20, 2012A favorite when I am home to visit! Their pickles and all their comfort food is amazing. Must continue to try every drink on the menu.
NatalieMarch 10, 2015Great for a mm evening out with the ladies. Tapas style. French onion dumplings are a must.
Jordan CrookAugust 13, 2014Highly recommended: squash ravioli, pierogies, French onion dumplings, snapper tacos, and chicken and waffles. Everything is delicious.
Maria VazquezAugust 5, 2016Awesome sipping cocktails. The bar upstairs is a lot cozier and intimate than the dining room on the first floor.
Daniel PowellJuly 10, 2016Atmosphere is better than the food. Had the chance to try 9 or 10 different plates, which was nice, but none of the plates were great on their own. Didn't try the Kobe beef sliders...sold out.
Gayathri Devi RaghupathyApril 20, 2014If you are hungry and don't want to order five small plates for each, eat dinner and then go here for the ambience and drinks..spotted a guy who acts in castle tv series
Sara StatesSeptember 12, 2013Great crowd on a Wednesday night. Great service! Didn't indulge in too many tapas but the spinach salad and pizza were fantastic! Can't wait to come back.
Food NetworkAugust 15, 2011Claire Robinson craves the French Onion Soup Dumplings and small plates at Stanton Social Club, in New York, NY on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at Food Network Local. Read more
Luisella ChiesaOctober 10, 2011Best meal I had in NY. Try melted cheddar cheese, lamb souvlaki, tuna tartar and grapefruit mint martini. Afriend of mine also loves the french onion soup dumplings
Om AmiJanuary 15, 2013Dumpling soup like everyone else said, but also try the lobster roll and crab cake corn dog! Both are great! Not so much the chicken and waffles tho...
Kate LaPortaMarch 2, 2013Must get the goat cheese perogies. Little heavenly dumplings filled with goat cheese and potato topped with caramelized onions and Crème fraîche.
Acire PolightMarch 23, 2018The pancakes are amazing! The sharing portions are pretty small. Don’t go if you’re starving.
DishEnvyOctober 2, 2012Dumplings are the way to go here: both the french onion soup dumplings and pierogies are highly rated here. Let us know your favorites on DishEnvy!
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011Awesome restaurant/lounge serving up a variety of dishes in the LES. The french onion soup is to die for and we also recommend the red snapper tacos. Yum!
PeopleAugust 23, 2010No LES grit here; just posh comfort food, from Kobe beef sliders and French onion dumplings to blood orange jalapeno margaritas. Don't skip the just-out-of-the-oil donuts—a fave at Matt Damon's table.
Abner AcevesMay 1, 2015Restaurant downstairs, bar upstairs. Make sure to give the cocktails a go - everything is really spot on here.
Chris LMay 12, 2012Donuts, just not all that. I bow down to those @ Ad Hoc Napa, or jelly ones @ Stack Vegas. Might enjoy this place more if I were more into sharing & hanging w/ friends, but I just want good food!
Elvin RoytmanMay 3, 2013The French Onion Soup Dumplings are the best things on the planet. Don't miss them. Also, the (hard) Milkshake Shots are incredible.
