What David K likes about Iguana New York:
This is a hidden Gem on 54th. The food is fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is great (especially if you're coming late enough for the dance club) and the drinks are generous. Carlos and Juan manage this place and you couldn't have two better guys to take care of you. Do yourself a favor and order the guacamole so it can be prepared fresh table-side for you! We visit here every time we are in Manhattan and love it e... View all feedback. What Andream Ramos doesn't like about Iguana New York:
Beyond disappointed and frustrated that the restaurant did not update their information as they were closed for renovations when we arrived for our dinner reservation. The app allowed me to make a reservation for a large party and even sent me text messages to confirm the day before and day of. This left us stranded with not enough time to find another restaurant to accommodate our party. View all feedback.

The restaurant has received a mix of reviews from customers, with some praising the excellent service and ambiance, delicious food, and made-to-order guacamole, as well as the professional and courteous staff. However, others have criticized the slow service, charged water, and errors in orders. Despite some negative feedback, many diners enjoy the atmosphere, generous drinks, and dance floors on two levels. Overall, the restaurant offers a fun Latin experience with a varied menu and entertainment options for guests to enjoy, making it a popular choice for visitors and locals alike.

Food was ok but the service was terrible. The owner head service staff were dismissive and rude. Would never go back there or recommend anyone else to go there
