Stylish restaurant and bar, serving modern bistro fare, located in the former home of Peking Tom's.
Bar is open until 2am Mon-Sat
Private dining areas
Pre-theater guests welcome
Kingston Station is within walking distance from the Financial District, Theater District, Chinatown and Downtown Crossing.
The restaurant provides a casual downtown environment reminiscent of a classic railway station. Walls are a mix of vintage white subway tiles, tea stained paint and marble mosaic. Tables and chairs are mismatched to create a casual and fun atmosphere. The dining area is separate from the bar, providing the perfect setting for a lively, yet relaxing dining experience.
The menu focuses on bistro cuisine, like Onion Soup Gratinee, Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad, Steak Frites, and Seared Scallops with Lemon Risotto.
The bar has extensive wine and beer offerings as well as creative cocktails such as the Fidel Castro with Brugal Anejo Rum and passionfruit puree.
Kingston Station is perfect for a lively and fun night out on the town!
In Short Kingston Station has the feel of a classic European railway station, with vintage white tiles, mismatched tables and chairs, and a small café in front. The casual atmosphere suits the American bistro fare served within. Popular items include beef carpaccio salad, steak frites, veal milanese, and truffle fries. Sample an original cocktail such as the Partly Cloudy (Brugal Anejo rum, ginger beer, fresh ginger) or, if you dare, the Kubler Absinthe.
I love the take out offerings at the Kingston Station. They have the best salmon and shrimp scampi as well as sandwiches that are the best! They also have a variety of great organic teas and coffees for you to enjoy.

Great place to meet friends and eat
By mjk122
Had a great dinner with a group of friends at Kingston Station. The long bar is a great spot to meet friends, and then head to a table to enjoy the food. The owner makes you feel welcome and comfortable without being obtrusive. Our server was on his toes all night and kept the 8 of us well fed and never without a drink in our hands.
Great variety of dishes on the menu.
Pros: Great bar, great food

Really awesome fries...Decent Entrees...TERRIBLE service
By jsteff22
I have been to Kingston Station twice and both times received horrible service. As someone coming from a service background I can be a little more nitpicky than most, but this was really bad. The first time I went was in May 08, the server was unattentive, leaving drinks (both alcohol and water) empty, the place was empty so we didn't understand why. The last time was unacceptable...drinks were empty, the server forgot to put our appetizers in and when we asked where they were he accused us of not ordering them, and then ignored our table the rest of the night. Not only was our server off, but the bar was a disaster. Drinks were spilled all over and the bartender was really slow. Aside from all of the service issues...the owner is really nice and apologized to our table. The food is pretty good (truffle fries are delish) and the decor is really cute and quaint. However, there are a lot of places in this city with similar menus and better service, so hopefully they can turn their service around.
Pros: Good Food, Cute decor, Nice owner Cons: Lousy service, Loud for dinner

Friggin Amazing
By goddesszeppelin2
Oh my word! I was floored with the service, food and the ambiance all together. WE went on a Saturday night for the Jazz and it was AMAZING. The jazz was awsome! It was like having a bunch of friends over to play for you in your own kitchen.. It was completely unpretentious and the prices were very reasonable. The bar does get loud later in the night, but all that said, I will definately go back and continue to recommend this place
Pros: EVERYTHING!!!! Cons: Parking

Amazing food, easy to grab a table
By yellowfad
My friend and I ate her last night and I loved the food. We ordered the truffle french fries - yummy! For my entree, I got the artichoke ravioli. The sauce was so flavorful! I can't wait to eat my leftovers tonight. Our water glasses were repeatedly re-filled and our waiter was right on top of things. I found the wine to be a great price at $6.00 a glass. I didn't find it loud at all but then again, it wasn't overly packed. We went on a Wednesday night. Check it out for yourself.
Pros: The food, the quickness of getting a table Cons: I really didn't see any

New favorite after work spot
By GChocolate
This place is totally swinging with the after work crowed.. the bar is very well stocked and the service is quick. Kingston gets a very bad wrap for noise (I don't know who goes to a bar for a quiet intimate experience..) but, if you want to avoid that just go a little after the happy hour rush - the place really starts to empty out after 7. Oh! And - great coffee.
