“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.”
“Curried goat patties, Snow Crab entree, best hummus dish ever and inventive strawberry short cake riff. Chill music vibe. Knowledgeable and attentive and most importantly genuinely friendly staff. Love this place.”
“Dead Rabbits famous Irish coffee is always great any time of year. During the summer they have a nice frozen slush version of it. I also recommend the Twighlight Zone that has a nice spin on Guinness. Always get the chips! I also enjoy their shepards pie occasionally. They also host events like comedy shows or tastings. Prices are a bit steep but it's good. Getting in can be hard sometimes for dining. For standing/bar seating they have a front room good for walk ins but I don't recommend coming into this tight space with a big group without a reservation or it being early. I come in solo and take one of the bar seats and you can order food there! Upstairs seating will have different menus but they always have the Irish coffee of course”
“the food is super good and the atmosphere is so comforting and relaxing! we got the arancini, soy butter bigoli, and the rigatoni, and they were all delicious! Kara was such a lovely and joyful waitress to have.”
“OMG!Traveling from NC and this place was definitely on our list as a must visit. This is without a doubt the best Ramin we've ever had and is truley world class. Can't believe there were no Stars on the window. The staff was very attentive and excited to see us enjoy every drop. We only get to the city once or twice a year but we've instantly added this place to the list!I Didn't take a picture of the delicious Daikon radish salad we had but I do remember it's bright flavor and delicate texture. Thank you!”

“Food was incredible, but the service wasn’t the greatest. Our first waiter was lackluster, but the second waiter was great. Also the receptionist was a bit rude. Other than that, I’m still thinking about the espresso martini and oysters - they’re amazing!”

“Got the papaya salad, pad spicy miso eggplant & shiitake fried rice. Papaya salad- that was pretty spicy, very fresh and crunchy. I couldn't tell if there was papaya in there because it was white? Eggplant- good flavors and well done, needed a bit more rice though because it was again, quite spicy. Shiitake fried rice- no overall complaints, I liked it, but wish it had a bit less oil.”
“It was the first of a few nice spring day pump-fakes before another month or 2 of winter weather, so I dusted off my linen button down after a lengthy winter hibernation.Bobby's is right across the street from my apartment, so I poked my head out of our window to see the Bobby's big glass paned windows wide open to the street, sun shining directly on the patio. If you live in New York, you know when bar windows are open to the street after a long winter, the collective energy of the city is about to be ELECTRIC. The city comes alive.I texted my big bro and he came to meet me here. We were sipping on Spritz's while watching March Madness games on the projector screens that they have as Bobby's is tailor made to watch a game, and it rarely gets overrun with people.To order, you scan a QR code and they bring your drinks right to your table, which is a nice touch. You don't have to be that guy and make everybody move to go get a drink. You can just move in silence like the g in lasagna.I was nervous what big bro would think of this place, because he is hella picky with his sports bars. When we sat there getting ready to leave, he said "Aye. Good pick lil cuzzo this place is smooth..." But what I heard was "I'm proud of you..."A big bro compliment like that, my dear reader, is something you simply can't put a price on. THANK YOU BOBBY’S!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews”
“Standard Mexican dishes in a fun and hip setting. Lots of outdoor seating! Food was very tasty my only complaint was I felt all the dishes were a bit pricey for what they were. Fajitas were flavorful and good quality steak but didn’t come with rice or beans for example. Overall a solid Mexican spot with great tasting dishes!”
“Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!After eating burgers and pizzas for two days I was craving and crying for Indian food and this placed saved me ?? I ordered South Indian meals thali and it was sooo delicious ?? I recommend this restaurant for everyone who wants to try Indian food ? great food , great service, great place:) I personally loved it ❤️”
“If you've been around NYC and vegetarian, you have almost definitely heard of Dirt Candy. It's the epitome of vegetarian fine dining in NYC.I will preface my review by stating that I have not grown up in the fine dining realm; there is probably some level of "appreciation" that I lack. That being said, the food here is great. Presentation, creativity, flavor experience are all on point. However, I couldn't justify the price for the food. I think if you are very curious and want to knock it off your bucket list OR you are someone into fine dining then this is perfect. Otherwise, there are restaurants that I think you get much better bang for your buck for in NYC.”
“10/10 highly recommend. Read about Potluck Club on the infatuation and they were spot on. Potstickers were delicious. The salt and pepper chicken was a first for me, but also delicious. And we had some noodle dish and added the hanger steak. Again delicious. Staff was so friendly and all busting their butts. Really nice to see them working as a team!”
“?? 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.”

“"LOVED IT":The Roasted Vegetable Trio Masamun Curry (GF, VG) was incredibly creamy and had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. The squash and cauliflower were cooked just right. Every bite was bursting with so much flavor, it made my eyes roll back in pleasure.The Shrimp Pad Thai (GF - we omitted the egg) nailed the classic sweet and tangy Thai taste. The noodles were cooked to the perfect consistency. It was so good, I quickly slurped it all up like a dog eating your birthday cake.Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and very friendly - great service."LIKED IT":The atmosphere was lively and packed with people enjoying their food and company. It's a fun, energetic vibe being surrounded by the buzz if that's what you're in the mood for."MEH":The Om Gai Pad (GF) was the dish we were most excited for but ended up barely touching. The smell was off-putting to me. The flavor was kind of like an old sock...maybe that funky taste was intentional, but it just didn't work for us.The price. Not awful and expected for the quality of the food.Dietary restrictions: GF and VG are clearly marked. They can also omit eggs to make more VG options.”

“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!”

“We secured a table outside in a very nice day. The wine selection is great. We had spicy veal tartar for start, which is very refreshing, recommended for appetizer. The main dish we shared was the iconic lasagna. Very flavorful and live up to its hype! Looking forward to come back again!”
“Came here on a Tuesday evening and I strongly suggest visiting this establishment! It boasts a charming and comfortable atmosphere, good music and great with attentive staff providing excellent customer service. I highly advise making a reservation; we arrived to find it empty, but within five minutes, it was bustling with people.”
“Really interesting cuisine and experience. Cute and small joint serving Cajun Korean food with a lot of variety and inventiveness. The jambalaya was great with a lot of flavor and kick. The softshell crab sandwich I had was phenomenal -- just the right texture of fried crab and toppings with some pickled vegetables. Service was really kind and efficient.”
“Hands down best Thai food I've had. Fish and pork dish were cooked perfectly. They also aren't kidding around with the spice level here either. The crab curry that we had was spicy but it was so delicious. The bass was delicious and the pork meat fell right off the bone. I wish I lived near the area because I would definitely eat here often if I could. I hope I can revisit this place one day.”

“Divine food!! Such a cute space too and the chef and waiter were so lovely to us. We got the whole room to ourselves as we were eating at 5pm on a Monday but some of the best food we have had in New York. The sashimi was a knock out and cannot wait to go back. The best dish was by FAR the lamb kofta and the waiter was so good to tell us to only get one ie not add another lamb kofta ball so we had one each”
“Extensively thought out menu, every bite felt like a perfect harmony of complex but well balanced flavours.The pairings are absolutely worth it and elevate every dish, we would highly recommend.Servers were extremely attentive. We ate in about 1h30 because we had a show (a bit faster than the recommended 2 hour window), however we didn’t feel rushed and everything was perfectly timed.Excellent ambiance, we loved being able to see the chefs work in front of us. Everything looked like a perfectly choreographed dance.Would highly recommend, a well deserved star indeed !”
“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!”

“All the walk ins were already booked when we showed up right at open (5pm on Sat), but they put us on the waitlist. Luckily, around 8pm we got a text saying to come in at 8:45. A good option if you live nearby or have things to do in the area.The Pizzas we got were cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in the city. If you like Neapolitan style, you won't find a better dough anywhere. Our dessert, Almond Cremolata was simply delicious.The ambiance was amazing. You get to see the chefs and the process of pizza making if you get seated close enough. Service was friendly, quick and efficient.”
“My boyfriend and I visited here for some quick late night food and we arrived shortly before closing. The overall atmosphere was great and the decor was aesthetically pleasing. We ordered everything at once because the kitchen was closing and they still pacer out our meal. The service was impeccable and all of the food and dessert was amazing. (especially the cuttlefish) We will defend be back!”
“Great experience! It was absolutely packed on a Saturday night. We were lucky to have been able to walk in and ask for a table of 5, with only a 10 minute wait. We sat outside but the tables are heated from above a little bit. We couldn’t really feel the heat though lol. The food was tasty, the escargots were a little overseasoned with garlic. I liked the Chicken Kiev a lot and my friends liked the other dishes as well. I would go back for sure and try the other items on the menu. The dessert was great too. Loved the creme brulee and the other pic I attached (forgot the name). We each paid probably between $40-$60 after tax and tip.”
“Great place.. Amazing dishes and desserts. Amazing staff and host. Will definitely be back. —— If I had one con, it would be the speaker volume. It really needs to be at an appropriate dinner volume in that you can have a discussion with that people at your table and not shout. We asked twice for it to be lowered. But I’m unsure it was ever adjusted. Loud club-music volume while dining is just unnecessary.”
“Was pretty skeptical about this place-- thought it may be overrated. But it definitely lived up to the hype! Every single dish we ordered was amazing. Reservations need to be made way in advance for a good time.”
“Their menu is extensive but I got classic things like the curry puffs, crab rangoon, and pad khee mao which were all great. The pad khee mao was quite spicy and I can handle a good amount of spice so I would ask for it not so spicy if you can’t handle too spicy. Very delicious and flavorful though!Beautiful lighting sitting outdoors by the way!”

“Just had some takeout sandwiches. My favorite was the Chopped Cheese sandwich which rich in flavor. The filling was packed. It was so fresh. The bun was good and tasty too. The staff was so friendly and made sandwiches promptly. My food was packed properly. Highly recommend this place. They have lots of options.”
“So I am not a local New Yorker but I often come up from DC to visit. My main goal when visiting New York however is discovering and devouring delicious food. That being said, my friends and I spent a long weekend in East Village partying it up till 6am each night! I still can't believe we did that. But in the midst of our late night partying, we would stop to refuel by grabbing a deli sandwich at this small bodega. You walk in and there is a wall full of colorful signs describing multiple types of sandwiches you can order. All looked spectacular but on the first night I ordered "The Biden". All the ingredients spoke to me and man what a sandwich! The flavor explosion was incredible with sun dried tomatoes and avocado on a croissant. I forget what my buddies got but they were raving about them too. The next night I got a meatball sub with grilled onions and once again I was in Heaven. We all were. So please keep this small business going strong and check out their sandwiches. All across their walls they have photos with celebrities so clearly they are popular. Thank you Sunny and Annie! Your food was one of the best highlights of our trip.”
“It's a beautiful hotel and the staff are really great. I felt the rooms were a little small though and lacked some storage space, although I appreciate that it's New York and that's kinda the style the hotel is going for. The coffee shop and the bar are great amenities to visit and make use of.The doors are really thin though and you can hear everything that's going on in the corridor. The walls aren't quite as thin but we could hear an argument that kicked off in the room next door.On balance I would recommend it since it is pretty well located.”
“Cannons Walk holds a special place in my heart, and I have cherished its natural vibe since my middle school years back at Spruce Street School, which is conveniently located nearby. This hidden gem in downtown Manhattan's NYC Seaport area beautifully combines the allure of nature with its rich historical aspects. As I walk along the well-preserved pathways, I can't help but marvel at the fascinating blend of old and new. The historical significance of Cannons Walk is palpable, reminding me of the area's maritime past and the bustling activity that once thrived here. The towering buildings juxtaposed with the serene waterfront create a captivating ambiance that truly captures the essence of this vibrant city. Cannons Walk is more than just a tranquil escape; it's a living testament to the rich heritage and ever-evolving spirit of downtown Manhattan. I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up near this remarkable place and will continue to cherish every visit, creating new memories while honoring its historical roots.”
“The empanadas were crispy and hot from the first bite tot the last bite. They are the perfect size. Not too small, but not too much that you can't finish them. The service was fast and friendly. It was not as busy as I thought it would be for late night.Outdoor seating, plastic-free packaging, provides reusable tableware.”
“I live in a distant land lacking worldly pleasures like discovering random alcoholic beverages at late-night delis. A place called New Jersey. In New York you can buy Four Loko at midnight and even shop on Sundays. This deli has a good selection of drinks, beef jerky and Sahale snacks, as well as friendly service and a perfect location for fellow NJ-based seekers of NYC enlightenment.”
“Management, staff, food, ambiance, all world class. It's actually a stunning visual experience going into ANY CitizenM. This one is exciting due to its location, bar and roofdeck w insane views. Great place to grab a drink, a bite, or just meet a friend or associate for a nice moment. Highly recommend. I had the crab cake which came a great sauce, and fries w a beer. Very satisfying.”
“A good place. Super friendly and attentive staff, courteous service. Tried a variety of fish. It’s ok - not great, but fine if you haven’t tried anything better as a reference point. A shot of cold vodka was excellent. Overall, recommended. And definitely recommended over the nearby Katz’s, which was a total disappointment.”
“Waited an hour in line but the food was well worth the wait! They use the right amount of 5 spice season to make the chicken perfectly seasoned. Despite the long wait, you're not guaranteed a table. We were in the front. This place is not ideal for groups of 3 if you're trying to get into the back room. The hostess wouldn't even put us on the waitlist for the back room.”
“*Service: 4.5/5*Our server was attentive and friendly, checking in on us at just the right moments. Her recommendations were helpful as well.*Food: 4.8/5*The food at Grammarcy Tavern was great. We ordered the 5 course dinner from the seasonal menu. It was delicious overall. Our favorite was the sweet potato agnolotti. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars was that the meat selection was light for the price.*Ambiance: 4.9/5*The ambiance at Grammarcy Tavern was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel like we were in a rustic cabin. The dim lighting and wooden decor added to the charm, and the background music was at just the right volume. The spring inspired greenery brought the season to life.*Overall: 4.7/5*Grammarcy Tavern is a must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a cozy setting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family, and I can't wait to come back and try more of their seasonal offerings.”

“I hated Lima beans, until I ate them at Contento. In fact, everything I ate there was perfection. My husband and I sat at the bar, which is exactly where I’d sit again. It’s cozy, comfortable and you can see some of the kitchen action as well as chat with fellow diners. The chef came out and helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. I use a wheelchair, which is what first attracted me to going to Contento. I appreciate feeling included. But I have recommended the place to friends and the next time I’m in New York I look forward to going back.”

“Los Tacos No.1 is an iconic spot in New York City. The tacos are really fantastic and fresh (though the pork may be a bit too salty for me). This counter order spot at the Chelsea Market gets very busy and popular during peak lunch times. There is not seating at the counter inside, but there are a number of tables outside (and if you walk west there are more, covered tables along the next street. The price is fine and the food is great - very much recommend if you are visiting the Market.”
“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!”
“Los Tacos No. 1 is a fantastic spot for street-style tacos. Despite peak hour lines, their speedy service ensures you won't wait long. I recommend getting the al pastor tacos. Don't miss their delicious breakfast burritos, especially the chorizo option, which they serve at this location in the morning.For seafood lovers, Los Mariscos at Chelsea Market offers a delightful selection paired perfectly with a cold beer or margarita.”
“Their menu is extensive but I got classic things like the curry puffs, crab rangoon, and pad khee mao which were all great. The pad khee mao was quite spicy and I can handle a good amount of spice so I would ask for it not so spicy if you can’t handle too spicy. Very delicious and flavorful though!Beautiful lighting sitting outdoors by the way!”
“Arrived too early for our lunch reservations. Some of us were starved already, so checked Yelp for the best place to snack. This place was highly recommended. Easy to find, and many ways to search what we wanted. Most of us picked the #10 and I picked the #13 (fried bun). Took a bit for it to be ready but there were 5 orders to do at one shot. We decided to wait inside even though it was a tight fit. It was a little chilly outside. I think mostly, people order to pick up or have delivered. So the food was piping hot! But we didn't care, it was so good! And we had 3 different dipping sauces. The really spicy one my husband liked a lot. Two of us enjoyed the soy sauce one. My dad liked the sweet white sugar sauce. Everyone was so happy and we can't wait to return again. Definitely recommend.”
“The menu is the most delicious and authentic of Thai menus out there. I mean the sausages are all HOMEMADE! The best food by the best chef, Chuck. He is already a famous private chef and now you will be spoiled any day of the week! Just go and see for yourself or get delivery!”

“Chef Ed Szymanski is so talented, not only are his fish and chips legendary but so are the other dishes on the menu. Amazing fish entrees, creative food. Trust me, you need a reservation at Dame!”

“I've wanted to try gelato for the longest time but had no idea where to begin, especially given the abundance of options in NYC. Thankfully, I came across a fellow Yelp friend's glowing review of Figo and knew this was just the place. We came on a dreary day, and there were no customers when we arrived, but honestly, I was too excited to care. The interior was cute and green and gave major spring forest vibes. I did my research so I knew exactly what I wanted. My sister, on the other hand, contemplated between pistachio and caffè and ended up going with the latter. Their prices have risen slightly. It's now $7.50 (instead of $6) for a regular cup of gelato, with up to 2 flavors. The portions are huge though, so two people can easily share a cup. * Ferrero Rocher I was dead set on ordering this flavor, and it was everything I imagined it to be. Sweet, smooth, rich, and creamy, with blended Ferrero Rocher bits. I found an almost whole Ferrero Rocher piece at the bottom of my cup and loved the added crunch. * Caffè Absolutely divine and exactly how I like my coffee. This flavor perfectly balanced the sweet and creamy elements of gelato with the rich and subtle, bitter notes of dark roast coffee. Highly recommend!”
“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.”
“Delicious, fresh dumplings, served when ready. Had crab/pork soup dumplings, 6. Two were stuck to the bottom, so no soup :( Fresh veg dumplings too, but both sets of fillings were fine, on the bland side. Cooked well- not overdone. Really hard to flag anyone down to get anything needed, but it eventually arrived. I like this place! It's good/ok. Would love to try more food. They were out of the Asahi I ordered.”
“The kimchi and pickled radish tasted just like in Korea, and the bulgogi rice bowl, teriyaki rice bowl, and soba noodles were very delicious. It was also surprising that there were more local customers than Korean customers. Korean food seems to have become more popular now. I really liked the smiles of the staff. I think I'll come here at least once every two days while I'm in Manhattan. Of course, if I lived here, I would want to come every day. Since there are only a few tables, it may be difficult for groups to visit, but they allow about 3 people to sit at each table and arrange about 3-5 tables. Basically, it is more like a take-out store. There were 6 of us, 3 at each table, and we ate well. Highly recommended”
“It has been at least three years since I’ve dined here. This evening, we enjoyed a late dinner, we were a party of four- two omnivores, one vegetarian and one vegan. Our food was incredible, definitely more creatively presented and unexpectedly extremely flavorful than I previously remembered. Dessert was also delish and decadent. If you are a vegan, vegetarian or simply someone looking for a different, I highly recommend treating yourself to a delightful culinary experience.”
“This has been on my list for a while, but it's so far from me, that I really haven't had the will to come up. Ordered the chicken malai frankie. I thought it was great. I did want a more variety of spices, but it was a solid meal for less than $10. The chicken was moist and creamy, and for the price of it, there was a lot. I loved the tomato based sauce. If you find yourself with another person, there's a discounted price for buying two of the same type of roti roll. A quick filling meal for anyone on the go or just needs a late night snack.”
“Entering Mishka transports you into another realm. The densely packed knickknacks, chandeliers, velvet upholstery, and plants instantly notify you that you have not entered a restaurant, as you supposed, but an antique shop; or possibly your grandmother's apartment.The service is phenomenal. The food, abysmal. To be fair I'm not really an eastern European food enjoyer, but some dishes were definitely not supposed to be cold.It's all made up for by the mesmerizing display. An endless stream of gold bars, stacks of cash, money spitting out of printers, diamonds cascading into a pile, and on, and on.Please visit this establishment. You will not be disappointed.”
“The menu is the most delicious and authentic of Thai menus out there. I mean the sausages are all HOMEMADE! The best food by the best chef, Chuck. He is already a famous private chef and now you will be spoiled any day of the week! Just go and see for yourself or get delivery!”
“We secured a table outside in a very nice day. The wine selection is great. We had spicy veal tartar for start, which is very refreshing, recommended for appetizer. The main dish we shared was the iconic lasagna. Very flavorful and live up to its hype! Looking forward to come back again!”
Fine Dining
“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!”
“One word, phenomenal! My best friend and I had dinner here during our weekend trip and Daniel exceeded every expectation we could’ve had. We chose the Five Course Prix Fixe menu with caviar service and both the food and staff were excellent. We had such a great experience that we’ve decided to visit a new Michelin Star restaurant every year as a girls trip. Thank you all for making our experience exceptional.”
“Wonderful spot for a long, leisurely lunch. The food is excellent, notably, the french fries, which are borderline miraculous in their flavor and ab to sustain maximum crispiness for hours on end. The cocktails are very good, especially the martini service. The wine list is extensive and SKUs heavily to the natural side, so be warned. But the dining room is high ceiling and convivial, and the staff is allowed to sport their personalities, which is welcome.”
“We had an amazing experience at Claud last night. The service couldn't have been better, and the food was amazing. We ordered the squash fritters, foie gras terrine, red shrimp, chicken liver agnolotti and rice pudding for dessert. We were also able to try the kampachi with kumquat and yuzu which was so fresh bright and delicious. The squash fritters had such a light and delicious batter and covered with pecorino. They were amazing. We loved the foie gras terrine with the most delicious sourdough bread. The red shrimp was one of my favorites. So simple and full of flavor. The agnolotti were fantastic. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and were covered in delicious smoked onion jus. The glazed carrots were so unique and delectable. The rice pudding was one of the best we've ever had. This was one of the best meals we've had in NYC. It would be hard to find anything better.”
“Food was tasty overall. Cocktails were great. Got the pandan punch (sweet). For food, we got the duck rilette, frog legs (it was alright), unisoba (uni was good quality), oxtail (favorite for the night), and their tres leches cake (it was really good). Service was amazing and so friendly.”
“The food is really very delicious, with all types of meat cooked perfect . However, some parts are too salty, especially the seasoning on the knee overpowering the flavor of the meat. The services are perfect, staff are very friendly and polite. Very good experience.”
“When I visited on Saturday, I was told that only the bar counter seats were available, but when I went to the bar counter, the seats were occupied and I had to wait for one to become available.I waited for about 5 minutes, but there was no one available, so I made a reservation for the following Monday and went to another restaurant that day.When I visited on Monday at 17:00, both the bar counter and the inside of the restaurant were relatively empty.Depending on the day and time, you may be able to enter without a reservation, but we recommend making a reservation.The meat was cooked very well and was very delicious (◠‿◠)I'm glad I made a reservation and came back! !If I have a chance to come to New York again, I would definitely like to come again.”
“I could not have enjoyed my mealtime at Le Gratin more. I felt welcomed by each member of the staff with whom I interacted. Each dish I sampled was executed with obvious talent & craftsmanship. I could not conclude any particular seat at Le Gratin was a bad one, which attests to the great care and guest oriented focus achieved by the curator of the spaces within. Beautiful vintage light fixtures. Standouts for me were the duck rilletes, the dessert wine ( a PASSITTO DI PANTERELLA ), and the day’s special- an angus rondel with brioche and foil gras on top. I’ll never forget this experience.”
“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.”
“Came here on a Tuesday evening and I strongly suggest visiting this establishment! It boasts a charming and comfortable atmosphere, good music and great with attentive staff providing excellent customer service. I highly advise making a reservation; we arrived to find it empty, but within five minutes, it was bustling with people.”
Cheap Eats
“I visited on a Sunday morning before 9am. There were people lining up to the entrance, but I was able to order in about 10 minutes. I ordered a bagel with scallion cream cheese ($5.99), but most of the people ordered the cream cheese in a cup and added it themselves. Highly recommended for the taste, price, and atmosphere.”
“Man what an experience. I never felt pain all over my face until I had the Rouge Big Rowdy Sandwich. If you can handle spice get medium because Rouge genuinely made it impossible to enjoy the Sandwich. After a long break I tried my friend’s sandwich, and it was delicious. Mango lassi was sweet and cold and perfect for when my face was burning.8.5/10”
“Managed to get a last min table on a very rainy night and had an enjoyable meal! The menu is limited vs l'artusi, more bistro style with sandwich options and some fusion items (like wings with fish sauce, delicious). The kale Caesar was filling and the breaded chicken cooked nicely. The short rib grilled cheese was also yum.Mind blowing? No. But a good option, with a nice adult drinkey vibe in the village .”
“The food is delicious. You can get small order, which is really small or you can get the large which is basically getting a regular size container of Chinese food. You can have chicken, duck or pork. All the meats are cooked to perfection. Great taste not too salty, portion sizes are good and it comes with cabbage or some leafy vegetable. The interesting part is the line. Regardless the weather or time of day, expect to wait in a line. Depending on the time of day, it could be a 20 people in front of you line or 30 people. Bring cash. They only take cash and there's no ATM inside. The price is also good for what you're getting. Quality food at an affordable price. There's the neighborhood, the people you may meet while waiting in line and some good Chinese food. Wah Fung is #1.”
“4.4 stars. Reasonably priced boxed take to take home stuffed buns. The bun is very light and fluffy. The red roast pork filling was a good amount and the taste was pretty good. We liked the smaller, slightly sweet, baked, 8-to-a-box, red roast pork buns better because of the higher meat to bun ratio. I tried the salted egg custard bun for the first time and it was pretty good. Comparable to Go Believe Bakery on Grand, which always has a consistent amount of meat but less airy bun.”

“Another fantastic dinner at PS Kitchen. Highly recommend the Thai Chili wings, crabby cakes and Brussel Sprouts. Our table also had the Linguini Alfredo, Cesar wrap and the Thai Sweet Chili Sandwich. We didn’t like the pretzel bun but otherwise everything was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.”
“Awesome and authentic Thai restaurant with great specialty cocktails and amazing food. The service (at the bar) was perfect. The menu has many unique options, and arranged by regions of Thailand. Would love to go back again soon!”
“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))”
“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!”
“When I visited on Saturday, I was told that only the bar counter seats were available, but when I went to the bar counter, the seats were occupied and I had to wait for one to become available.I waited for about 5 minutes, but there was no one available, so I made a reservation for the following Monday and went to another restaurant that day.When I visited on Monday at 17:00, both the bar counter and the inside of the restaurant were relatively empty.Depending on the day and time, you may be able to enter without a reservation, but we recommend making a reservation.The meat was cooked very well and was very delicious (◠‿◠)I'm glad I made a reservation and came back! !If I have a chance to come to New York again, I would definitely like to come again.”
“Extensively thought out menu, every bite felt like a perfect harmony of complex but well balanced flavours.The pairings are absolutely worth it and elevate every dish, we would highly recommend.Servers were extremely attentive. We ate in about 1h30 because we had a show (a bit faster than the recommended 2 hour window), however we didn’t feel rushed and everything was perfectly timed.Excellent ambiance, we loved being able to see the chefs work in front of us. Everything looked like a perfectly choreographed dance.Would highly recommend, a well deserved star indeed !”
“This is some authentic Chinese food for sure. As someone who misses home a lot, I haven't had such well-made red braised pork was in a long while. The restaurant was a bit crowded, but their friendly servicer definitely makes up for it.”
“Great place.. Amazing dishes and desserts. Amazing staff and host. Will definitely be back. —— If I had one con, it would be the speaker volume. It really needs to be at an appropriate dinner volume in that you can have a discussion with that people at your table and not shout. We asked twice for it to be lowered. But I’m unsure it was ever adjusted. Loud club-music volume while dining is just unnecessary.”
“Excellent Greek food! The menu was slightly limited, but everything we tried was delicious. You must try the Galaktoboureko dessert! I've never had it prepared that way and out was amazing!”
“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!”
“Didn't have a reservation for 4 on a Friday night but we were able to get seated at the bar. Started off with hummus & we each ordered our own kebabs. Perfect size meal.”
“Get the burger...... GET THE BURGER - A classic NY vibe, close fit but awesome atmosphere - drinks are outstanding - make this place a stop on your itinerary and have stories about it for years!”
“Heerlijk authentiek Koreaans gegeten bij dit knusse restaurant. Vooraf krijg je wat banchan inclusief kimchi, aardappelsalade, boerenkool en radijs. Als voorgerecht hadden we pannenkoek met tauge, die goed was gebakken: krokant van buiten en luchtig van binnen. Deze werd met een fris sausje geserveerd. Op aanraden van de ober hebben we gebakken schouderkarbonade met oesterchampions besteld en dit was het hoogtepunt van de avond. Heerlijk mals vlees dat bijna op je tong smelt in een lichtzoete saus. De koude zoete aardappel noedels waren ook smaakvol, al is dit wellicht meer een gerecht om op een warme zomerdag te bestellen dan tijdens een koude dag. Om de maaltijd af te sluiten hadden we zwarte sesam ijs met matcha biscuit en gedroogde aardbeien. Prima toetje met leuke presentatie. Al met al dus heerlijk gegeten, dus als je van Koreaans eten houd is dit wat mij betreft een aanrader.”
“First, I love the low key atmosphere and the ambient light. I've noticed, as I've aged, that a lot of so-called popular restaurants are noisy and bright and the food is only OK. Hav and Mar is the opposite of that. It's a relaxing place with fantastic food- to the eye and the palate, excellent, professional service and great music. I hope it stays this way.”
“A hip, semi-fusion Japanese restaurant. Intimate atmosphere. Our server was quite charismatic and friendly. All dishes were great - really enjoyed their spicy avocado sushi. Expensive but worth it.”
“Here is a review of the chefs tasting menu and wine pairing at Oceans in New York City:My wife and I celebrated her birthday with the exceptional chefs tasting menu and exquisite wine pairings at Oceans. From start to finish, it was a night of culinary excellence.We began with beautifully composed opening bites - tuna tartare and black bass crudo - complemented by crisp, refreshing sparklers. The tuna was paired with a delightful Raventós i Blanc rosé that offered delicate red fruits and pastry notes. My crudo sang alongside a mineral-driven Cremant de Savoie.The lobster roe linguine course was a revelation, with the tender, briny pasta impeccably matched by a Sonoma Chardonnay's bright salinity and verve.For our mains, my Scottish salmon arrived perfectly cooked, beautifully plated with lentils, greens, and mushrooms in a lush cream sauce. A Burgundian Pinot Noir provided an aromatic counterpunch of spices and red fruits. My wife's seared scallops were sweet and succulent over an English pea puree, with a Loire Valley Chinon offering vibrant red fruit to accent the gnocchi and brown butter.Desserts did not disappoint - a decadent chocolate tart and sublime pistachio semifreddo complemented by the caramelized notes of an aged tawny port. As a bonus birthday treat, the kitchen sent out a complimentary celebratory cake paired with a luscious Moscato d'Asti.The attentive and knowledgeable service,combined with the artful dishes and pitch-perfect wine pairings, made this an evening to remember at Oceans. An indulgent yet balanced tour de force of flavor from an extraordinary kitchen and cellar.”
“Stopped by a few weeks after opening. The food was excellent. Me and my boys ordered a little bit of everything. Drunken noodle was great. Duck was great. Drinks were nice looking but I don't remember what I had so, I'll try it again. Wasn't super enthused on that front but definitely a fire spot to check out. Date night gem .”
“In NYC for a few days and visited OBAO - and couldn't recommend any higher.Our waiter, Beer was excellent - running us through the menu and giving us recommendations (two of which we took up).I highly recommend the short rib massamam which was recommended to me. A favourite of mine, OBAOs was hands down the best Massamam I've tried.Massive shout out again to Beer - for going above and beyond to making our visit memorable.”
“I heard that Tonchin is difficult to get walk-ins for, so I was really excited to get a reservation here. There was a long line of walk-ins when we arrived for our 12pm reservation. The restaurant has a cool modern vibe and good service. Overall there were some things I liked, but nothing was particularly memorable.The kimchi mushroom ($8) was meh and not worth the cost. It was very small, cold, and sour -- just hard strips of oyster mushroom in a chili oil/vinegar flavor. I didn't taste the kimchi flavor.The original maguro ($27) was very good. Lots of great flavors and textures, and everything was cut to the same size. I enjoyed the crunchy bits.The tebasaki ($18 for 6 pieces) had quite big and tender wings. The drumettes had more flavor and sauciness. This wasn't a must-get, but it was decent.The smoked dashi ramen ($22) definitely lived up to its name. It was a rich but not overly heavy pork broth with smoked dashi liquid on top. It was good but not amazing. I didn't love that the bamboo was in a big chunk, which made it hard to eat. The noodles are nothing special. I felt similarly about the tonkotsu ramen.I got the aka drink ($18) which was pretty good -- very floral and good sweetness. It wasn't that big, though -- it had a giant ice block in it.Overall the restaurant has a nice vibe and the food is quick to come out, but nothing would make me come back. The maguro was definitely the highlight.”
“I hated Lima beans, until I ate them at Contento. In fact, everything I ate there was perfection. My husband and I sat at the bar, which is exactly where I’d sit again. It’s cozy, comfortable and you can see some of the kitchen action as well as chat with fellow diners. The chef came out and helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. I use a wheelchair, which is what first attracted me to going to Contento. I appreciate feeling included. But I have recommended the place to friends and the next time I’m in New York I look forward to going back.”
“The food was delicious and the portions were very generous! You can easily share a plate with another person. Our server was wonderful and very attentive from start to finish. The outdoor patio is so cute and great for people watching!”
“Divine food!! Such a cute space too and the chef and waiter were so lovely to us. We got the whole room to ourselves as we were eating at 5pm on a Monday but some of the best food we have had in New York. The sashimi was a knock out and cannot wait to go back. The best dish was by FAR the lamb kofta and the waiter was so good to tell us to only get one ie not add another lamb kofta ball so we had one each”
“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!”
“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!”
“Omg you have to come check out Rachel her customer service skills are perfect and the brunch and unlimited drinks are awesome!!!! The Drinks are strong!!!!!Vegetarian options: It has what you will like.”
“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.”
“Delicious ramen, one of the best in town. It was especially perfect for me as I don’t eat pork and it’s always hard to get a non-pork ramen. Here they have chicken, beef, veggies broths! Amazing! Japanese curry was also delicious. I’ll be coming back ”
“The flavors in the grab hand roll set were dynamic and delicious. Jesse helped me out with some recommendations and even asked the chef for more sauce on my a-la carte order. I had the hand roll set and had to go back for a little more! Worth checking out.”
“Outstanding in every respect, especially with Ross helping make our experience exceptional. Sit inside the main restaurant if possible for the best vibe, and sitting at the counter is great. Food selection is great and we appreciate the small dishes for sharing - though one Ferna each please. Drinks are also good…maybe too good…the Tyre is a favorite. Enjoy!”
“המקום מעוצב מקסים, נעים ומזמין, כל המנות שהזמנו היו נהדרות עם טוויסט מפתיע. שירות נהדר, ממליצה מכל הלב.”
“Te amo Mission Ceviche! My Boyfriend took me here for my birthday. The entire staff treated me like a King! The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely incredible! The food is a gastronomical fantasy. Incredible flavors, fresh ingredients, truly mouth-watering meals. My Boyfriend is from Peru and he says Mission Ceviche is like coming home for him. He is practically obsessed with the two ceviche dishes (Mixto y Classico). For me it is the short ribs. O-M-G I don’t think I have EVER had a meal so memorable and incredibly delicious. To be honest my words do not do the deliciousness of this meal justice. Simply put...it is oh so good. The short rib is cooked to perfection and is so tender you can eat it with a spoon. The accompanying sides are the perfect compliment. The sauce that’s used...I hope they bottle it because I would buy vats of it! The rice with choclo is sublime. The tres leches rich, creamy and absolutely decadent. The food is amazing. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous. The music is fiyah. The location is super convenient—a half a block to the subway and Crosstown bus. What really sets Mission Ceviche apart is the incredible Maitre’d Carlos. He treats all patrons the same...from babies in strollers to celebrities. He is so incredibly kind, humble, gracious, charming, intelligent, professional and inspiring. He is passionate and proud. It is awesome to see him keep the atmosphere ebullient and festive and the food flowing. He manages it all so effortlessly. I think it is because he honestly loves his chosen career and when you’re happy and you know it “work” is pure joy. That joy Carlos gives it to all of the Mission Ceviche patrons. This was not me and my Boyfriend’s first time dining at Mission Ceviche. We are now greeted by our first names when we arrive. Carlos is there and he has the biggest smile and we know that we are in great hands and know we will eat well. Every dining experience at Mission Ceviche is amazing! Go to this restaurant...make the reservation...you will not be disappointed...trust me! Bravo Carlos and the entire Mission Ceviche staff.”
“The service was incredible, the atmosphere and details were beautiful. The food was mostly delicious. The only con was they have very strong perfume scented candles that leave the taste of them so you can’t fully enjoy the food as the scent is so overpowering.”
“Michelin Star 42. After the very underwhelming dining experience at Jeune et Jolie, I'm watching my money carefully and eschewing tasting menus for a la carte menus. Semma didn't disappoint. Reasonably priced for a Michelin dining experience and I was able to get closer to my Michelin Star goal for this year and my ten-year Michelin Star goal as well. Without breaking the bank.”
“All the walk ins were already booked when we showed up right at open (5pm on Sat), but they put us on the waitlist. Luckily, around 8pm we got a text saying to come in at 8:45. A good option if you live nearby or have things to do in the area.The Pizzas we got were cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in the city. If you like Neapolitan style, you won't find a better dough anywhere. Our dessert, Almond Cremolata was simply delicious.The ambiance was amazing. You get to see the chefs and the process of pizza making if you get seated close enough. Service was friendly, quick and efficient.”
“This is by far one of my fave gems of New York City!As someone who’s not so big on Greek food except if directly from Greece ?? itself, this place has quality food choices period‼️By now, since this wasn’t my first time here, I can almost say I’ve eaten every appetizer available on the menu ? today me and my pals had a buffet style dinner of continuous food.Each appetizer, including new things I had never tasted, melted in my mouth with deliciousness. ??The staff overall were pleasant and our servers could have been more attentive but… nothing to be sour about. It’s never easy to tend to large crowds of people with various demands at each turn.The food here is a MUST have! This place has been a staple of soho for years, and it’s no wonder why ?Thanks for another YUMMY dinner!xx @MsRextiVegetarian options: Non meaty options”
“Food was great, the Caviar Kim was the highlight along with the supplementary Uni Kim, just a good mix of textures and flavors.Service was standout. Staff was kind, welcoming and knowledgeable about the food.Great value for the price”
“My family and I were on our way to another restaurant when the smell of the broth lured us in to Raku instead. I had the kitsune udon. The noodles were cooked to perfection, not too soft with the right amount of chew. I got a side of maitake tempura as well, the batter was crunchy and the mushrooms juicy and tender, like a chicken thigh but with that distinct nuttiness. And of course the broth that lured us in was as delicious as it smelled. I'm not a New York resident but I wish I was so I could come back regularly!”
“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.”
“I came here for my birthday dinner. The staff here were so friendly and helpful. They explained the tasting course thoroughly. The first course was a set of three little dishes and the rest was a sort of "choose your own adventure" type of thing. My brother, husband and I each ordered something different and we got to try most of the menu that way. The presentation was impeccable and the food was top notch. They presented me with a cute little birthday dessert with a candle. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.”
“my taste buds were pretty happy with me here !! the citrusy, fresh flavor from the fish combined with the creamy, spicy curry = perfect match. also whatever spice was on those wings... i need it. interior wise, appreciated the amount of natural light here! service was just OK. what we ordered: - steamed fish with thai herbs - coconut crab curry - zabb wings”
“We spent a delicious time in this restaurant. An exquisite cuisine, each wine was chosen with care and finesse by the sommelier.The service is present, attentive without being pushy. Perfect!The atmosphere is clean calm and lightened enough to appreciate this gastronomical performance.”
“Anelle was AMAZING! Truly one of the most remarkable service and food experiences I’ve had in NYC- every single course was an absolute smash hit and a transportation to Tuscany. This is the type of meal that you want when you want something truly, really special. Core memory while living in NYC. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you to the entire staff!!Dietary restrictions: They are so accommodating to any dietary needs, and totally create the menu around your needs!”
“Came to celebrate my birthday weekend from Washington, DC. Everything was great, service, environment and food! I love steak and this is the places for the best steaks in NYC!”
“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.”
“Great new place! Entrée's were pretty good. Really authentic. We had bhendi masala, vegetable jalfreji, and yellow dal. All were really yummy! Rotis were great too. Appetizers could have been a bit better. Service was really top class. Loved the ambiance.”
“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.”
“This is our second time at this location ( we ate at a Mermaid in the East Village). Great addition to fine dining in Times Square which seems inundated with fast food and chain restaurants. We're fish lovers and Mermaid has lots of delicious options — crudo, ceviche, oysters, clams for appetizers, lots of fish and non fish entrees. We had a tuna entree that was wonderful. We plan on returning. Highly recommend.”
“Came here on a Wednesday after work and was able to grab a seat at the bar. Went for the "Busiate Siciliana al Pomodoro" which was a pasta with eggplant. For the affordable price of $26, I got a huge plate of pasta that lasted for two meals. It was flavorful, the pasta was cooked to perfection, and the service was fast. Definitely has more of a finance bro/businessman crowd in there but all the staff were welcoming. Worth trying it out if you're around!”
“OMG! I love this place. I am craving it right now as I write this review.Food:If I could live off of Adjaruli Khachapuri I would. A traditional dish that is open-faced khachapuri with a blended cheese, topped with raw egg. The egg is mixed into the cheese tableside. SOOOO GOOOOD!!!! It was so good that I had one as an appetizer and one for dinner. I also enjoyed Mushroom Khinkali (Georgian Dumplings) - another delicious dish. Lastly, I had one of their spreads - Spinach Pkhali: Spinach, walnut paste, onion, garlic, coriander and topped with Pomegranate Seeds. Super fresh and delicious.Drinks:For cocktails, we had a Sassy Tangarine: Cachaca, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, tangerine, and orange bitters and an Espresso Mama: A rich and indulgent chilled espresso cocktail with Georgian Brandy, Mr. Black, fresh espresso and simple syrup. And then with dinner, I had a flight of their famous wines - I had the Amber Wine Flight - Three different amber wine styles from different grape varieties.Service:The service was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. We sat at the bar and had a great time.Vibe:I loved sitting at the bar. I took a tour around the restaurant and if I sat at a table, I would probably want to sit in the front room or at the bar.This was a great find and I would highly recommend a visit.Date of Visit: 16 March 2024”
“Excellent experience! Wonderful chuletón with vegetables sides and very enjoyable sangria. Fabian gave us a very warm and caring service as well as Vivian. We loved the atmosphere and the food’s quality is A+!!! We absolutely recommend the Salinas dining experience!”
“This was my first Michelin experience in the city and it did not disappoint. The food and drinks were to die for. The service was impeccable, everyone was very friendly. We sat in the bar/lounge esque area next to the window, it was super cozy, the interior is gorgeous too! 10/10!”
“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!”
“An excellent restaurant for many reasons. 1) Lovely setting, atmosphere and staff2) Really reasonable prices for the quality of the food on order and the popularity of the place3) The food was just exceptionally executed. They’ve taken authentic Sichuan Cuisine and elevated it, cleaned up some of the unrefined flavours and delivered it.The best dish was the Pickled Fish, they’ve kept the sourness to a good level and made the fish the star of the show in stead of the swimming pickles.Top mentions to the Deep-fried shredded eel (not seen this on a menu before) and it was a great “snack dish”. The sesame balls dessert was a really good surprise, the sesame paste was smooth and not overpowering at all (like it normally is). The chicken & lotus root dish was very well executed, soft chicken and I liked that they kept the bones to a minimum (often it can be more bone than meat).Average dishes were the shredded potato, sweet & sour pork and pork cold dish. All them were well done but of the standard I’d normally get in China.”
“Had a very good meal at Thep Thai. Came here on a sunday afternoon, there was no wait, and our waitress (Gift) was very attentive and checked in often even though we sat in a back corner outside. The food was also amazing, some of the best Thai food we had in UES. Definitely would recommend.”
“I ordered delivery from Malii and the order came very fast. The larb salad with chicken was very tasty, and super moist. I did think there could be more lettuce in the salad, as it wasn't very filling. My friend got the Cashew Nut with Vegetables and Tofu which was also yummy, but not enough quantity. The price is reasonable for the amount of food, but I would order an appetizer next time to stay full.”
“Wayan is my favorite restaurant! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and the food is a flavor explosion in your mouth. There's also just a really cool vibe there. I went for my birthday (2nd year in a row), and I had the sashimi for the first time and it was sensational! It's now going to be a staple every time I go there, along with my other staples, the octopus a la plancha, the corn fritter, and the brussel sprouts. I also tried the lime pie with buttermilk ice cream. Incredible! The chocolate ganache was also fantastic! Just go! You won't be disappointed.”
“Delicious food and wonderful service. Fish was fresh and delicately prepared. Lots of thoughtful touches and I appreciated the intimacy of the venue. Can’t wait to be back!”
“It's a very long wait on a Sunday. I arrived around 11.15 and the wait for one person was an hour. For two people or more it was a 3 hour wait.The famous pancakes were delicious, even as a single stack was quite large. The home fries were just broken up hash browns so a little disappointed.I would go back if I was super hungry, but because of the long wait I had eaten something small beforehand.”
“Wonderful spot for a long, leisurely lunch. The food is excellent, notably, the french fries, which are borderline miraculous in their flavor and ab to sustain maximum crispiness for hours on end. The cocktails are very good, especially the martini service. The wine list is extensive and SKUs heavily to the natural side, so be warned. But the dining room is high ceiling and convivial, and the staff is allowed to sport their personalities, which is welcome.”
“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.”
“Let me start off by saying, if you want to complain about prices, don't even walk in the door. To get the optimal experience at any restaurant, you have to pay to play. So expect to spend about $70-100 per person here, this is a spot you take someone on a knock-it-out-of-the-park date or group gathering, you can't be a cheapskate. Now, to the food. Vietnamese BBQ is an intimate experience. Order the 7 course beef so you can try everything while the staff explains and helps you cook your meat. The electric grills are of the highest quality, the same ones they use at high-end Japanese yakiniku places, so the smoky taste on your cooked beef will be perfect. If you want to order a la carte, I highly recommend the Tomahawk, Madame Prawns and Charred Uni. Like I said, this is a place where you share your meal with friends and family so all the food is portioned that way.”
“We found this gem of a bar/restaurant and visited five or six times. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff very professional and friendly. Eddie provided excellent service and Gabriel the owner is so welcoming and friendly and has time for everyone. The food was out of this world - particular mentions are Ravioli Zucca and the Brasato di Costolette di Manzo (short ribs to die for). The bomboloni (Italian doughnuts with chocolate and caramel sauces) is one of the best desserts I’ve had! We would definitely recommend this place. It’s in an excellent location opposite Central Park.”
“Booked a reservation here based solely on the reviews and I was blown away not only where they highly recommended, its open late! which is a big plus for workaholics like me and my husband.It was such lovely experience. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious the music was great. My husband enjoyed it so much he suggested we visit frequently so that he can try everything on the menu.”
“Amazing food! Great service from Travis and the team!I had the red Thai curry and it was by far the best Thai food I’ve ever had, absolutely amazing. Generous portions as well!Very nice atmosphere as well!”
“The place is nice, it smells like smoked food indoors which I don’t enjoy a lot but if you’re ok with that scent, the place is warm. A little snob, but maybe that’s the vibe they want to share around. We had reservation but it was delayed, and we couldn’t have a drink while we’re waiting. The food was tasty, but not crazy to wait for delays. However, the place is cute if you don’t mind those details. Some people of the staff, great, others a little snobby and not friendly. Extremely loud place too, if you like to have a conversation, it’s not the kind of place I would recommend. You should try it at least once to find out tho, maybe it’s fine for you. I like lively places but not the ones with such much noise that you can’t hear the person next to you.”
“Even on limited time, I make it a priority to visit PLANTA whenever we're in the same city. I walked here from the Empire State Building, and it was bustling on a Saturday evening. I happily sat at the bar. FIRECRACKER ROLL This was on their April exclusive menu. Filled with Japanese sweet potato, avocado, unagi, and topped with gochujang mayo & chili salt. DELICIOUS! It deserves to be a staple menu item. TORCHED AND PRESSED One of my go-to menu items. This roll is so melt-in-your-mouth creamy. I drool every time. I even convinced some girls sitting at the bar to order this roll. BANG BANG BROCCOLI My numero uno go-to dish since I visited the SOBE location a few years ago. Will never not order this. Crunchy. Flavorful. Amazing in every way. As they were leaving, a couple asked me about this dish and I let them each have one floret. They were sold! (Not all PLANTAs have the same dishes, but luckily, two of my favs have been at all the ones I've visited: FL, CA, IL, & NY.) TRUFFLE RICE I tend to avoid the main dishes and stick with starters and sushi, but I wanted to try something different. Unfortunately, I should've followed my instincts. It had a nice flavor to it, but it was dry and the rice was overcooked. Disappointing. There was so much potential with the cumulation of ingredients. As a PLANTA Passport holder who doesn't live near a PLANTA, I was excited to be able to use my birthday reward - a free dessert! But they didn't have my fav available- the giant chocolate chip cookie, so I ended up passing on dessert. Service was great. As busy as he was, he kept my water glass filled. The worst part about my visit is that I rushed out to catch my Uber back to Brooklyn and left my leftovers on the counter. I may have shed a tear about it. Tip: there are outlets and hooks at the bar.”
“Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. Reduced and very curated menu regarding its price range and with several house-made elements. Experience was a 10/10!”

“We recently had Vicky Vij catering the wedding of our daughter. All I have to say is they are exceptional in all ways-- service, food quality and taste, hospitality, price. Vicky went the extra mile to make sure that every thing was perfect. All the quests appreciated and the compliments were endless. I wish Vicky Vij the best and wish that his name is not tarnished by others.”
“If you're looking for the Spanish home made taste then this is it. The beans taste like grandma made them and everything else is delicious, I really enjoy eating here often.Vegetarian options: They usually have. rice, beans, steam vegetables, salads and other side dishes to offer non meat eaters options”
“I come here often with the kids I nanny. The pizza isn’t bad but it’s not my favorite. Some days it’s really good and other days it’s sweet? Which is a little weird to me. The kids love it so that’s all I care about. I had the bbq chicken wings today for the first time and they were good. Inside is always clean. The staff is always kind and helpful.”
“I moved into 20 Broad Street a little more than a year ago. My experience living here so far has been exceptional. I read a review on here that said that the apartments are not sound insulated, and instead you can hear neighbors' conversations. I am writing this review to state that in my experience, that could not be further from the truth. Apartments are modern, impressively quiet, and building staff is friendly. I love everything about 20 Broad Street.”
“Located is the lobby of the Intercontinental Times Square and the Hotel is tucked away nicely around from main parts of Times Square. Booked on a busy night but the service and pace of the staff was impeccable. Great meal, great drinks, and will definitely return. Great location and across the street from a great jazz lounge as well.”
“I was recently at Caffé Aronne and was pleasantly surprised with the aesthetics of the coffee shop, and the friendly service, not to mention the coffee itself. The Barrista, Sebastian was very efficient at handling all the orders and the lattes were delicious. I totally recommend bringing a good book and enjoying a hot cozy coffee.”
“One of the best sandwhich spots I've been to in a while. Love the customer support and staff members ? ❤️ Till today I've noticed my home girl deeji working there she saw me and immediately she gave me hospitality, love that woman shout out to her. Keep doing great things everyone yah def better than subway they can never ?”
“This is a perfect place for friends and family to get together! Our family hosted a party of 15 people. Tina Qiu, Yi Liu were our waitress and waiter. Alina and Crystal helped us arranged the party. Every staff member was polite, friendly , attentive, and efficient. They made our guests feel at home. The food was delicious and ambience was nice. It is really a good place to bring friends out.”
“What's most remarkable to me is that I've passed by the location numerous times but never noticed that a branch had opened there (most of the fast food chain branches are located further east). Food quality and service were both excellent.Wheelchair accessibility: Ordering stations and main dining area located on first floor; plenty of space for wheelchair accessibility.”
“This is a very unassuming restaurant serves really good food. The chips and guacamole were made with freshly fried (and still warm) tortilla chips and the serving of guacamole generous. Had the duck and beef bourguignon and both were surprisingly delicious. Ambience may not be as welcoming as other restaurants in the hood but food is so good and worth returning.”

“Our reservation was for 9:45 PM after theater. We waited at the bar for about 15 or 20 minutes and then we were seated upstairs. It was a nice table. Our veal scaloppine with lemon sauce on a bed of spinach was an ample portion and we enjoyed every bit of it . For dessert we had the chocolate cannolis which were a Chocolate taste sensation. Go there with a big appetite, family style at its best ”
“Had a great experience overall. The food was great. Ribeye steak was a little underseasoned and not as soft as it should have been, but not too disappointed. Service could have been quicker when I was out of drinks, empty plates, bill, etc, but not like I waited 10 min for any of those. Enjoyed a good high end meal.”
“The food here is incredible! The pork belly appetizer was the most tender pork I've ever had. I'm not into creamed spinach but this was so good. It tasted like a mixture of basil and spinach and not overly creamy. The mac and cheese was great and so was the ceasar salad. I had the strip steak with the bone marrow gravy which is a highly recommend. Food was so good that I forgot to take pictures. Bring your wallet because you are paying for quality and it does not disappoint.”
“The food, ambience, and service was A+. Our server Marquis was knowledgeable of the food and solicited tips on what to pair with what. I had the beef short ribs, and the meat was tender. The main lobster linguine was chefs kisses. Would definitely visit again next time I’m in town.”
“Perfect vibe for a birthday dinner. The food and drinks were so good! They should refine their system for hosts finding people in the lounge who are waiting to be seated. We waited about 50 minutes to be seated, because of a mic up with a host, but the staff was apologetic and brought us complimentary champagne and an app . Despite that hiccup, Buddakan was an incredible experience!”
“We brought three 5-year-olds to tea. It was a little too sophisticated for them and noticed older children appreciating the experience more. For the price for both kids and adults, tea service is not worth it unless you love tea service foods. I'd rather stop by for a drink to see the Palm Court and not have the full experience.”
“I love this restaurant so much!! Whenever I need to impress someone with a meal in New York, I always take them here. It’s some of the most delicious Italian food in the city and the waitstaff is so kind and accommodating. Our server, Gokce, was so attentive! I will be back again soon.”

“This spot opened up a month ago, and I finally came here for lunch. Service was quick. I got the bento box for $22, which consists of a choice between soup or salad, chicken teriyaki, and a choice of hand roll or Maki. I got the shrimp tempura Maki style. Portions were perfect for lunch. The ambiance of this place is Instagram worthy. I'd definitely return for happy hour.”
“Everything was quite good from the food, to the atmosphere to the service. We liked the foie gras, to the sea bass, and wonderful bread. The butter potato ravioli but was a little over the top with carbs and fat. A nice cheese filling or anything else would have been better. The mango pineapple dessert was refreshing and pretty perfect. The service was top notch, and the room was extraordinary.”
“Loved this place. You walk in and you instantly feel invited. I loved the decor made you feel like you are eating at home. The service was impeccable not hovering but there any time we needed anything, with waiter, maitre D, and Chef all checking in on us. We started with the Cesare Cups loved the take on it. The Scallops crudo was sweet and tender and topped with a lovely portion of caviar. The baked oysters yummy. Portions are definitely ample. Then we had the oxtail trofie. The oxtail just melted with each bite of pasta. And finally came out the roasted duck. It may have been my favorite duck breast ever. So tender and flavorful. The veggies that it came with added to the flavor perfectly. I will go back just for that. The only disappointment was the chocolate mousse but the chef brought out some delicious chocolate chip cookies so nothing missed. Highly recommend checking this one out”
“This restaurant is beautiful! The vibes, the food, and the staff are literally amazing!! Our waiters Elani and Dioni were super attentive, they came over to our table many times to ensure that we were okay. They even sang happy birthday to my baby girl when I told them her birthday is in a couple of days, it was too cute!! I loved every minute here! I’d come back time and time again.”
“I was not disappointed at all, even though I had to wait ~15 minutes for a solo counter seat. I had the fried onion burger, and it was beautifully cooked. The fries are McDonald's style, double fried. The key lime pie was also worth getting. Considering I had all that and a diet coke for under $25, in Manhattan, I was impressed.”
“"Tapas-style" Korean menu in a location perfect for a pre-theatre dinner! The raw scallop, bossam, and kimchi fried rice were all super flavorful and delicious. The only complaint I had was for the cheese corn riblets - they just quartered the corn cobs for this dish so you still have to bite the corn off the cob section, instead of just cutting the kernels off into riblets like most restaurants do. Makes it messier than necessary. The $16-18 bottles of Kikusui sake on the menu are a definite plus!”
“Hands down one of the best authentic Indian food we had in NYC. Everything was so fresh. The owner was very welcoming and truly showcased “atithi devo bhava”. It felt like home. They customized the paneer tikka for my kid and she loved it. Would absolutely visit this place again.. and again.. kudos!!”
“"LOVED IT":The Roasted Vegetable Trio Masamun Curry (GF, VG) was incredibly creamy and had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. The squash and cauliflower were cooked just right. Every bite was bursting with so much flavor, it made my eyes roll back in pleasure.The Shrimp Pad Thai (GF - we omitted the egg) nailed the classic sweet and tangy Thai taste. The noodles were cooked to the perfect consistency. It was so good, I quickly slurped it all up like a dog eating your birthday cake.Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and very friendly - great service."LIKED IT":The atmosphere was lively and packed with people enjoying their food and company. It's a fun, energetic vibe being surrounded by the buzz if that's what you're in the mood for."MEH":The Om Gai Pad (GF) was the dish we were most excited for but ended up barely touching. The smell was off-putting to me. The flavor was kind of like an old sock...maybe that funky taste was intentional, but it just didn't work for us.The price. Not awful and expected for the quality of the food.Dietary restrictions: GF and VG are clearly marked. They can also omit eggs to make more VG options.”
