Hotel Griffou Owners Bow Out, New Concept Planned

There are big changes coming to Hotel Griffou in Greenwich Village. Following a rumor from the chatty NY Nightlife Twitter account that the concept was about to change, Eater checked in with Griffou owner Johnny Swet who confirmed the hunch. Swet tells Eater, "the owners of Griffou, Larry Poston, Johnny Swet and their business partner have moved forward and no longer will be involved with...

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Hotel Griffou Restaurant Review

Not a hotel, nor just a restaurant or solely a cocktail bar, this West Village spot has a speakeasy feel. Good cocktails can cause diners to forgive a lot of sins, and it would appear that is the abiding philosophy at the Hotel Griffou. The name comes from a woman who ran the boarding house here in earlier times, who also ostensibly contributed the recipe for chicken cutlets in mushroom sauce....

Stealth-posh scene-stealer. Name recalls 19th-century boardinghouse, nostalgic build-out plenty justifies the history poaching. Marie Griffou herself is remembered in sautéed pork cutlets, from her 1892 recipe. Balance of menu glances back with the likes of steak Diane, stuffed lobster tails, duck a l'orange. Warren-like array down unmarked stairs, with half a dozen intimate rooms. Ornate,...

Ultra-hip, old-timey villager.

The mania for old-timey hipsterdom may have reached its apex with this gorgeous, extremely contrived restaurant, which takes the Old New York theme to its culmination. The menu, by Spice Market and...

I love Griffou. I love the decor and feel of the restaurant and the food is delicious. I hear they recently updated their menu, so will have to check that out soon!

Great NYC bar in Greenwich Village

This is a great underground bar/restaurant just 2 blocks north of Washington Square Park. It is not part of the noisy Village bar scene which is centred around Bleeker and MacDougall. Actually in a quieter area in W9th between 5th and 6th. There is bar seating and other areas, some open, some private, some tables, some lounges. We went on...

Very warm cozy room for a delicious Sunday dinner. Started with the amazing Pork Belly and a very tender grilled spicy Octopus. The Orecchiette with sausage, kale and rabe was so good and nice portion. Also had the Lamb Meatballs, very tasty.
We had 2 desserts that I can't recall after all the wine we had, very enjoyable meal. Engaging...

Very happening bar scene on a Friday night. Must make reservations to get a table. Waiter was fairly attentive, but let our wine glasses go dry. Grilled Oftopus and meatballs for appetizer. Both dishes were superb. Fluke and halbert as main courses, and both were excellent. Worth the money. Wine was good value, with a decent range of variety and...

Interesting flavor combinations and engaging decor.
