Maru
|
Neighborhood: West 30s Type of Place: Lounges Description: Walk past all the Korean barbecues lining West 32nd Street and enter a non-descript building that looks more like a warehouse, hop aboard the drab elevator to the third floor and prepare to enter a new world. A giant bell greets you as you enter Maru, where you can enjoy the privacy of a veiled booth or share one of many white banquettes that fill this bi-level lounge. It is truly stunning. Upstairs, a futuristic tunnel features a bar and more lounge seating. Although it could give new meaning to the term "the spins" after a few drinks. The drinks include a full range of martinis and shots with names like "Love Potion." The menu's a mix of Asian to American fare with Yakatori-style dishes and Maru rolls, including one called a "Fire Scallop" roll. There's also Rock Shrimp Tempura and steak served with grilled asparagus and onion mashed potatoes. But even if you're not hungry, Maru is a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, sit back and take in the scene! - Sam Sayegh

January 4, 2010, 11:15.03 pm ET Great food I thought the food and service was great and the price was reasonable. July 27, 2006, 10:09.26 am ET poor customer service I think they care more about their buck than their customers -extremely rude staff -there are so many other places in K-town that are better -Chorus being the best and quite upscale but laid back, Toto also a lot of fun -like hanging out at a friends house -and finaly iBop, very simple but inexpensive -and they have the best playlist. 212 is also fun if you just want a lounge/bar. Check these places out before setting foot in Maru. June 25, 2006, 4:12.04 am ET |
