Paul's On Time Square Hilton Garden Inn

Place is nice and it's open on Dec 24th! Cocktails and food are OK, same as service!

We popped in to Paul’s for a quick bite while on a day trip to NY. We ordered the bruschetta which was just awful. The tomatoes were underripe and the bruschetta tasted like it had been sitting in a refrigerator unwrapped. We told our server that it tasted bad, we didn’t like it, and we got major attitude and a grumbling about speaking to the manager to see if they could take it off our bill. We were starving so had to eat something, deciding to order a pizza, which was good and why I gave 2 stars. The flatware was nice though

We managed to get there at a good time on a Saturday and only had to wait 10 min for a table. We ordered fried ravioli and a 6 slice Margherita, as well as cocktails. The cocktails came out promptly, but after 30 min our appetizers still hadn't been served. A table that was seated after us got their appetizers shortly after they were sat, we were still waiting for ours. The place filled up quickly, and the kitchen and our waiter were clearly in the weeds. After being sat for about an hour, our waiter explained to his tables that the kitchen was behind and our pizzas would be out soon. The fried ravioli was served. They were good. Our pizza was served shortly after, and it was delicious, nice chewy crust, good sauce and cheese. The cocktails were very good, too.

Horrible reservation experience...people waiting in an anonymous line even with reservations, waiting an hour for their 'saved table. BUT we were lucky to instead get seats at the bar and had WONDERFUL service, drinks and food. The chicken marsala was amazing, and the pasta with eggplant was also great. Our bartender was kind and thoughtful and worked hard to get us our drinks and food so we could get back to our bus. Thank you, sweet bartender lady!!! Them we left and FDNY had to pry doors open so we could get down the stairs since the elevator was out...but that 's another story!

I stopped in to have a few drinks at the bar. Did not order food. Nice vibe in the place, the bar tender was very attentive, drinks were tasty and mixed well.
