“outdoor dining, great service, great food, byob. just overall a great place.“

“The waiter was always there but not intrusive, had a wealth of knowledge about the dishes and wines, and recommended the best pairings for my taste, perfect!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“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.“

“Best Caviar restaurant in NYC. First visit and will return. Thank you to all the staff and manager for a great evening. We will return our next trip to NYC! We had the tasting caviar with add and 3 course paired glass champagne, vodka and wine for main course. Highly recommend. Next time I will probably order the tasting of caviar and one ala cart entree. Great food! Great time!“

“Comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The bar staff were terrific and our waitress was exceptional. The fried chicken may have been the best I’ve ever had.Thank you.“

“Happy Cooking does it again! Very special restaurant that will be my goto after BAM shows. They got range, baby! From one of the best executions of a Caesar salad I have ever had to an inventive mussel toast dish that smacks and crunches. As usual, the space, the staff, even the music choices are pitch perfect. But it really comes down to the people. Happy staff at happy cooking = awesome.“

“The Best that i ever been“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“This is such a great place in the WV, honestly sometimes it feels so hard to find a place that isn’t geared to tourists or sort of a bland palette. This restaurant is way more chic and interesting that most of the restaurants in the area while also serving approachable food. This will be my new go-to when I have something to do in the neighborhood. Not to mention the service was really great and the vibe of the space is just right. I must say it sometimes is lame to order the bread and butter but it is really spectacular!“

“I was taken tonight for my bday and I am thoroughly impressed. I was greeted by the most beautiful human in the front and felt like I was in a really cool speak easy. The staff were super cool and suggested some great items on the menu. The food was incredible and the drinks were phenomenal. Definitely a place to dress cute and sit at the bar, or bring a date.“

“We had an exceptional dinner tonight. The food, the service and the ambiance all added up to a memorable evening. I want to especially highlight our server Francisco and the Manager Alex who went above and beyond to make us feel like old time regular guests. The icing on the cake was a hand written note to us congratulating our anniversary along with champagne and macaroons. I recommend everyone try this special place. We will be back.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“After all these years this old flame still has it.
Fun flirty staff crew, on top of their game.
Great French classics.
Foie gras, escargots, soupe L'oignone, Canard, Bone marrow, Steak frites, And of course, the dry aged prime beef Black Label Burger.
Good martini, great wine.
Perfect Soufflé.
Bon appétit !“

“BEST MEAL I’ve had in my entire life! I don’t say that lightly because we’ve eaten in Michelin restaurants all over the world. I can honestly honestly say that was the most spectacular food I have ever had. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. I’d go here every night if I could!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Love this place, good food and nice atmosphere. Always busy sometimes big line but it will be worth“

“The waiter said they were known for their handmade pastas which were beautiful but truthfully underwhelming. I really enjoyed my fish and their wine pairings. We did the math on the préfixe and depending on what you order it’s actually cheaper to go a la carte.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“So glad I found this place! We came at 5 and didn’t need a resy. We were seated immediately and were helped by a super friendly waiter. The food was beyond delicious. We got the guacamole to share and I got the cauliflower salad with fried chicken. It was so big and delicious. Also got a margarita - 10 out of 10.“

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

“Food, atmosphere, waiter! Simply Amazing!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. But what really made the night special was the amazing atmosphere and exceptional service. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and lively. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, adding that extra touch of care that made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!“

“AYZA has is the best Chocolate Drinks in the city 🏙️ absolutely dreamy. Much more than a bar, they also have great food selections. Absolutely OBSESSED with the taste.

Let’s start with WINE & CHOCOLATE PAIRINGS 🍷 “Milky Way” is a unique experience for the date night.The Chocolate Martins ? Absolutely is your must-order drink, is the best one 1️⃣

STAY AWAKE ‼️ Zesty lemon-garlic baked shrimp is a flavorful appetizer. Carrot Butter Filet Mignon is EVERYTHING 🔥 perfectly match with red wine 🍷 enhance its delicate flavor.
Ohohoh…Golden Lobster Ravioli 🦞 rich, creamy sauce contribute to a decadent and flavorful dish.

OMG! Don’t sleep on the dessert 🍮 absolutely is my next go-to one. Perfectly balanced of the sweetness ❤️ YES, the menu features a variety choose of creative dishes, chocolate, wines….THIS IS YOUR MUST VISIT PLACE IN NYC.“

“Chef Jeremy & team have something special going on & NY is lucky to have ‘em! Thoughtful service, food & excellent cocktails from Ben & Gabrielle~ wish i lived closer but glad Agi’s is somewhat nearby. Excited to see them constantly evolve!“

“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“Delicious food great service“

“Inga’s Bar does not serve bar food, really, despite the name and despite the cheeseburger on its menu — a very good and unpretentious one, on a soft toasted bun with white onions, crisp dill pickles, sweet bread-and-butter pickles and a stack of two pressed beef patties, each in its own shiny orange sheath of melted American cheese. You wouldn’t think it was out of place in the kind of tavern where mugs are kept in a freezer below the beer taps and the food is served in plastic baskets, unless you knew that the pickles are made on site. OK, the dark, from-scratch fries with freshly whisked mayonnaise might give the game away, too.“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“One White Street delivered great food and excellent service Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The award-winning chefs use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful. The restaurant also offers a wonderful drink menu, and they offer one of the best wines in the region. They get new menu every couple of months and make it more fun to try new dishes.“

“Had a great experience at Electric Lemon. Aaron our server was so genuinely helpful with suggestions for cocktails and food. The views were phenomenal. The food and drinks were amazing. I highly recommend Electrical Lemon.“

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

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“My first visit in 2023 was the best meal I had ever had. My expectations were through the roof and they didn’t disappoint. Even with a new Chef, it was a fantastic dinning experience and I loved the new spin on each dish. I highly recommend and will be back on my next trip to NYC.“

“Went for restaurant week and the food was (mostly) a hit. I ordered the eggplant option and honestly it tasted like ash in my mouth —my partner tried it too and he agreed. It was tough and just not really edible. The service was astounding and they kindly replaced my entree with the branzino which is what I should have ordered in the first place. Truly, it was astounding. Outside of restaurant week, I don’t think we could really justify the price for what we got, but everything was delicious. The staff was impeccable. The vibes are a good instagram moment.“

“Prix fixe $75 pp ($60 on Tuesdays). All four courses were creative and delicious. Wines by the glass were nice. Portion size of the vegetarian entree option (gnocchi) felt a bit small compared to the roast chicken. Charming room, very kind service. 20% autograt applied to all checks. I'll be back.“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“Best food and awesome atmosphere! 🍷Most definitely one of the best Michelin restaurants ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
