“Great place. Yummy food and great owner 10/10“

“Our favorite bodega in the neighborhood! Wonderful people who are always friendly and personable! Fair prices for everything and sandwiches are amazing!Update: no longer owned by the same family and is vastly different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5“

“Super tasty food & friendly service! We visited on a Saturday early pm for a quick bite. The prices are fair and our meals came out in good time. The tuna melt was really great, I had it in white bread with Swiss cheese. The breakfast burrito was super filling with potatoes cheese and avocado inside. Definitely recommend!“

“?? We were the last party arriving at 9pm on a Monday night. We sat at the bar and were served by Sebastian. The place lets you bring your own bottle of wine for a $50 cork fee which is so unique and great for a Michelin Star restaurant, and they don't make you feel cheap for doing it either. From start to finish the food was just so so so good, the atmosphere and service were absolutely perfect. I'll remember that triple fish first course till I'm 100 years old, especially the trout. Just wow. The beef with the potato made you feel at home with a touch of uniqueness. The dessert was perfectly balanced with some of the best blueberries ever. So glad we picked this restaurant for our night out in NY.“

“My dining experience at Minetta Tavern was impeccable.My friend and I had Fois Gras and Oysters as Appetizers, Strak Frites and Minetta Burger for our entrees, and topped it up with their delicious Soufflé for two.Everything was truly incredible, from the lively and yet cozy atmosphere, to the outstanding quality of food, and flawless service.It was my first time and will definitely be back for more.A huge thank you to the whole team again!“

“Loved everything about it! We sat at the bar, Justin was fantastic. Friendly people and great food!! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“Very affordable restaurant, highly recommended“

“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“The food the service overall everything is impeccable“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“We started off with some tasty cocktails: A Japanese twist on a margarita and an amazing whiskey-based pink one (the name escapes me but it was truly unique and delicious. We had their rendition of a Caeser salad, which was enormous. The deep fried burrata was also quite big… and truly unique and scrumptious. I could have drank the cheesy broth all night. The fried hen was nice. The black cod was as well. The sticky pudding with lime ice cream dessert was massive, but the two of us managed. Also - get the potatoes…. A great compliment to everything.“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

“Came to Little Mad for a weekend dinner, made a reservation about 2-3 weeks ahead but the place was very spacious and had some empty tables so probably do not need a reservation. Personally I loved the decor of the place, very clean and simple, lots of wooden structures. Our server was very helpful, asked us if it was our first time here, recommended the right amount of food to get, and went over some of the alcohol list with us. There was a raspberry martini we got that was very delicious and has a pretty good kick to it. Food wise, very very delicious. Every course was surprise and I did not feel a single moment of dullness. We started with the yellowtail crudo in between the pear slices, the sauce was so amazing and went so perfectly with the fish and pear. We also got the beef carpaccio, it was delicious. Our mad hot plates were equally as amazing and our main course was probably the best. The galbi steak was to die for, so tender and juicy while the lobster fried rice was so full of flavor. This was one of the best Asian tapas places I've been to and would definitely come back, it was quite a bit pricier than I had expected though in the end so had to take away a star, but if you don't care about the price, this is the perfect place to have a great time with amazing food!“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“Had a brunch here by myself on Sunday for a bottomless mimosas time and had a blast. I ordered a burger and what made it the best experience for me is the warmth and hospitality provided by Rachel!! She is such a sweetheart and I see her every brunch I chose to come here. Her welcoming attitude and friendliness makes it a better part of my day having a hangover brunch so thank you, Essex, for incredible times“

“I absolutely loved this place!! The interior was so cute and felt like a great spot to grab a drink. We came here for brunch and got the Bread Basket for the table which was fire with the different spreads/honey butter. For y main, I tried the Eggs Cilbir which was surprisingly very filling. The yogurt flavor was delicious. I do think it could come with more bread though. Overall, really good experience. I'm sure I'll find my way back.“

“The food, cocktails and view are excellent. Only the service failed. The waiter was impatient and inattentive. I ordered a cocktail that had been very difficult for me to find in other places and the Bartender made it delicious. It was a rainy day at times there was no visibility but the atmosphere and the drinks were very pleasant.“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“We came with a friend and got to try most of the items. For three people, we shared some appetizers —— the seeded bread (7/10), scallops 7.5/10, duck bun (6/10), bucatini (7.5/10).The entrees were much better than the appetizers. Got the halibut, bbq pork, and duck breast. All were delicious, but the duck was definitely the best. Would come back for the main courses. Mille feuille was good too, not picturedCocktails were not memorable. Interior was beautiful!“

“That was the best restaurant meal I’ve have ever had. The lobster risotto was unbelievable and the duck appetizer was so delicious. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! We loved sitting upstairs in the corner. The staff and service were outstanding.“

“Lovely people, lovely place, incredibly delicious food! Ingredients are very fresh, often from the local farmers market. There are both very creative dishes and classics on the menu. The Queensboro is a special restaurant that not only cares about the quality of their food and atmosphere, but also sincerely cares about the community.Kid-friendliness: Roomy and fun space that is very comfortable for those bringing children. The staff is super friendly with children as well!“

“Had a wonderful meal this evening at Upland, really enjoyed my artichoke entree and was pleasantly surprised by my lobster main! Luis was so professional and attentive, I loved my complimentary guava sorbet and the honey ice cream was also delish. I highly recommend them, thank you for taking such good care of me for the two hours I was with you.“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“The ambience is great and the food is fantastic. It's my kind of food. I will recommend more of my friends to try it.“

“Delicious and great service! Fun late night vibe.“

“Came a second time for brunch and enjoyed myself. Comfortable seating indoors, polite staff, and yummy food. They don't rush you at all and there's a cute area near the bathroom perfect for photo ops albeit it's also a high foot traffic spot haha.“

“The Smoked Pork Ramen was one of the best ramen I have ever had. The soup was strong in umami and smokiness and that alone made it a stand out dish. The spicy ramen was a manageable level of spicy but covered the taste of everything else.It’s so good I forgive David Chang for sending lawyer letters to the AAIP chilli crisp makers.“

“My very favorite place to go for a special occasion. Every single dish is amazing. The choice of cocktails with fresh infusions is amazing. Note that you do not have to save room for dessert, because it is not quite as good as the other courses. And the family style is so fun!“

“One of Manhattan's great ‘secrets'. The caviar offering and presentation are first class. But it is also a great restaurant experience apart from the caviar. Innovative selections that are very well presented with close but discreet service. One of our favourites.“

“Did takeout on Saturday. The food was ready on time.The mixed berry scone was a bit too sweet in my opinion, as the additional sugar crystals on top are too much. I prefer a more traditional old fashion scone which isn't as sweetened (personal preference).The grilled chicken sandwich was filling and well presented. Flavorful according to my friend who ordered.The country breakfast was big and extremely filling. The biscuit came separate when doing takeout, with its jam and butter. I ordered the eggs scrambled and they were very good and not too salty, which provided a good balance with the slice of ham, which is. The texture of the eggs were nice. Felt like a true southern brunch.Overall very satisfied and the staff was friendly during pickup. I definitely want to go back and try the chocolate scone and some of their pastry items.“

“The food was amazing!! Tasted like nothing I’ve ever had!!“

“The Tasting Menu was the most exquisite food I have ever had the privilege of enjoying. Each course presented an explosion of different flavors bursting in one's mouth, and the service was professional, friendly and kind. The service staff gave the impression of being in a private environment rather than a large restaurant.“

“The wine selection is outstanding, accompanied by a superb food menu that's straightforward and user-friendly. The ambiance is wonderfully minimalist, and the food is served at the ideal temperature with exceptional flavor. We enjoyed the Long Island duck and pork tenderloin, as well as steelhead trout and gulf prawns for starters. I highly recommend stopping by if you find yourself in NYC.“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Delicious food. Small portions so order a lot. Point is to share !!“

“Super helpful staff, fresh and delicious oysters and apps. Great beer list. Cant go wrong with this place. In Chelsea market“

“My family of 5 and I visited RH Rooftop initially in March 2024 and did not have the best experience. We shared our concerns with an amazing manager named Jim Schmiedl. After patently hearing us out. He earnestly shared that if we gave RH Rooftop NYC another try, he promised he and everyone else would make it right. Jim and our server Kelly along with all the staff made it right as rain. Our experience was absolutely AMAZING. The service, food, drinks, everything was a 20/10. We will return with a BIG smile on our faces . Give them a try- you will enjoy the entire experience from start to finish.“

“Ever since you reopened, the food has been exquisite. The earlier years when it was GB&G, the different chefs never really found themselves. Since the reopening and the re-emergence of the original chef, I think, the food is back to its glory as it was 15 years ago. Regardless, service has always remained superlative. I do miss the complimentary exquisite breads, intermezzo and after dinner edibles though.“

“Traif is so outstanding that it reminds me, despite our crumbling society, that there is a beacon of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a chef’s tasting menu, where each dish is so flavorful, so delicious, that I shed not one, but several tears that maybe, just maybe, humanity has a chance of food this good still exists.“

“I will be coming back here every time I’m in the area for the galleries. Such attention to detail with every aspect of the dining experience from the decor, to the unique and traditional dishes, the quality of the food, great service… it’s all there.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Food was supreme here. I had the raw clams, fresh and presented well. Cocktail sauce was done with care. My main was spaghetti and clams in tomato sauce with arugula salad and a touch of spring onions, that was a very fine detail. The effort was notable in the food. Service could be more disciplined though, some staff prioritise chatting with each other over customer service. The dining room was tastefully decorated. Would love to come back but I live too far.“

“Service was excellent, food arrived quickly & was wonderful.“

“I loved their creative spin on vegan and also enjoyed the ambiance!“

“Top notch service, everything I had was amazing. lots of history close to the WTC and many attractions! Make sure you try the Crème Brûlée for desert, it was worth every penny!“

“We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“
