“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“The food is delicious😊“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“First time dining at a two star Michelin restaurant and loved it starting from the fun entrance to the very last course. Dishes were unique and had good flow from one course to the next. The standard wine pairing was a beautiful accompaniment to the flavours of each dish. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making the night truly memorable.“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Lovey fine dining experience with my fiancé. We love coming here when we travel to NYC!“

“This was my second omakase experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and every bite was perfect. The chef was warm, kind, and engaging, making the experience not only delicious but also genuinely happy and memorable.“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“What an absolute gem this place is. I can't decide which was better - the food or the service. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a Michelin star type of experience but without the pretentiousness. Cant wait to be back!“

“I had an absolutely unforgettable experience celebrating my 50th birthday. Every dish was a masterclass in flavor—beautifully composed, seamless, and executed with a level of expertise that quite literally melts in your mouth.

When my teenage daughter arrived late, the team handled it with such grace and precision that any concern simply disappeared. The entire evening remained fluid, thoughtful, and perfectly orchestrated.

Beyond the extraordinary cuisine, the service was exceptional. There is an intimacy here that is rare and deeply special—attentive without ever feeling intrusive. It truly felt like a complete sensory experience, where every detail was considered and every moment elevated.

I can confidently say this was one of the finest experiences I’ve had—perhaps the best in decades. I could not recommend it more highly and already look forward to returning.

A truly magical, delicious evening at Frevo. We will definitely come back, again and again and again….❤️“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The food was honestly amazing - so, so delicious. The only thing I’d change is the music, just because it didn’t really match the vibe, but that’s totally my own opinion. Everything we tried was great, and the service was really good too. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Beautiful, classy and comfortable space. Bread, oysters, duck tortellini and desserts were standouts. Excellent wine list. One constructive critism would be to tighten service just a tad to elevate to elite level. My oysters and tortellini came out at the same time, maybe that is correct but I would rsther them spaced. One of our drinks was forgotten, and a touch slow with the wine bottle pours as it wasn't at our table to do ourselves. Great evening overall. Relaxed and not rushed.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, good cocktails and yummy food!“

“Beautiful, delicious meal. Excellent service and views. Perfect for a special celebration or just perfect for celebrating life.“

“I have to admit, every dish here is absolutely exquisite.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“GM Jill greeted me with a big welcoming smile!
Jill is the consummate professional leading her team by a strong example !
Juanita our waitress created an “indulging environment”! Her service was outstanding - particulary when she served me my vodka Martini - chilled to perfection - poured into my glass up to the rim of the glass. We ordered house specialty beef & tuna plates - prepared to perfection - begun with my favorite jumbo shrimp cocktail.
We look forward to returning.
Bonnie from Manhattan.“

“A masterclass in precision—every dish feels deeply personal rather than performative. Each dish balances restraint and intensity: umami hums beneath bright acids and thoughtful textures, making even familiar ingredients feel newly intelligent. It’s the rare Manhattan restaurant that’s both soulful and exacting, a place you crave not for spectacle, but for how completely it understands flavor. Wonderful people leading the way.“

“excellent food, impeccable service, delicious cocktails and a wonderful dining experience“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“As a foodie who is constantly looking for unique high-end kosher experiences, I can confidently say that REN is a top 3 kosher restaurant in the world. From the moment you enter the establishment, you feel a sense of calm and comfort. The lighting, the plants, the music, the temperature of the room - an ambience carefully crafted with you in mind. The staff, beginning with Soso and George, are attentive, professional and courteous. They listen to your questions or comments, answer thoroughly and concisely and are not shy to make recommendations. I have been to REN multiple times with my partner and each time I am blown away. The menu, which evolves each time I visit, is filled with unique, nourishing, mind-blowing food. You can feel Chef Ronen's touch in everything. You can taste the decades of professional, perfectionist, preparation with high-end execution that has come to symbolize this fine establishment. If there ever will be a kosher restaurant that can contend for a Michelin Star - REN will be on that list. When I come to REN, I come to satisfy not a physical, but much more so an artistic, futuristic, classic fusion of fine dining. Come here if you want to be amazed.“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“Absolutely one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in my 70+ years of life. The food was exquisite. The wait staff spectacular, non-intrusive but yet able to convey everything on the menu with clarity, the atmosphere was genteel, the music, just perfect, relaxing, and elegant. The surprises included in the menu were delightful.“

“Had an outstanding dining experience at Estiatorio Milos Hudson Yards! Everything from the presentation to the flavors was absolutely top-tier — the seafood was incredibly fresh and prepared perfectly. The atmosphere felt elegant yet welcoming, making it perfect for a special night out. What truly made the visit exceptional was the staff: they were attentive, professional, and genuinely warm throughout the entire meal. Their hospitality elevated the whole experience. I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to return!“

“Amazing place! The team is great! Hopefully we will be back for Thanksgiving!“

The food was some of the best I have had, as someone who has done a great deal of the tasting menus in NYC, some multiple times. It rivaled Le Bernadin in the quality and creativity of seafood preparation. Some of the sauces were exquisite, especially the wagyu course which honestly I think should replace the quail. The mole was really special. My personal favorite courses were all the early ones. I thought the kamasu flavors were incredibly well balanced and the blue fin tuna Monaka was spectacularly beautiful and a little triumph in two bites. I loved the play on fish and chips and the sea urchin of course was one of the best things I have ever tasted. I think it could become iconic in the same way Ripert’s tuna tartare over foie gras is.
I have a few notes on ways to improve.
First of all, I think if you are doing a wine tasting that costs so much extra, the first three courses should have at least two different wines. We ran out of wine before the blue fin tuna, not realizing the glass for was two complete courses, a minor complaint. And if you have done the wine pairing, I would appreciate the names of the wines along with the courses when you are given the printed menu at the end. Again, just little gripes but these things matter to your guests. The wine pairings were lovely and I especially liked the two sakes. If you are paying extra for the Wagyu and the wine pairing, the Wagyu should come with that Bordeaux at no additional cost.

I wish that fewer supplements were offered. I think truffle shavings and the extra course are fine. But it’s a little overwhelming to be offered 5 supplements at the beginning of the meal and then have to decide where to spend more money.
While all the staff was incredibly thoughtful and kind I did find some of them to be somewhat robotic at times. Our head waiter must have said three times within the first 90 seconds the same phrase something along the lines of “Thank you for choosing to celebrate with us.” I just got the impression that maybe he was a little tired and running through the motions. And I understand that they have a tough job keeping track of all the guests and who is there for what reason. But at the end they brought us a small cake that said Happy Birthday, while we were there for our anniversary (which the card at our table said). It was totally fine and my husband and I laughed it off and wished each other happy birthday. But small details like that should definitely not be ignored when they go wrong. I thought the space itself lacked intimacy to be honest, but didn’t mind that so much.
I personally was completely underwhelmed by the ice cream soufflé. It was all style over substance. I preferred the palette cleanser for taste. It might be just my personal taste but I want ice cream to be thick, custardy and not icy and taste mostly like air…? 😂“

“The Capital Grille is a special place for me. It was my first great American steakhouse where I was introduced to the science of steaks. It happened many years ago, and since then I've been to many great steakhouses, but Capital Grille will always be a special one for me.
So when deciding on a place to celebrate 3 birthdays with my girlfriends, the Capital Grille was a no-brainer. And it didn't disappoint.
Everything was great - service, food, ambiance. I personally love their wedge salad. It's not a complicated salad, but they do it specifically well.
Our steaks were cooked perfectly as we ordered. The wague fillet mignon was out of this world good. Truffle parmesan fries hit the right spot.
A complimentary dessert was a cherry 🍒 on top.
Evening well spent.“

“It’s an amazing experience. So glad I chose to dine here.“

“Excellent! Food was delicious! We will definitely be returning for a la carte. We did the tasting menu and it was a great introduction to what we can look forward to on a future visit. Sourdough tortilla was divine. The perfect tortilla. 1st bite was my favorite. Thanks for a great night and outstanding food. 100% recommend.“

“Dining at The Capital Grille on Wall Street was an exquisite experience, one that reaffirmed my admiration for this esteemed establishment, regardless of location—be it Chicago, Albany, or New York. The Wagyu steak was nothing short of sublime, perfectly cooked and rich in flavor. Paired with the Fisher Vineyards UNTIY Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, the harmony of taste elevated the meal to new heights. The atmosphere exuded sophistication, and the staff was impeccably attentive, ensuring every detail was flawlessly executed. A truly remarkable dining experience that I would eagerly indulge in again. Highly recommended for those seeking culinary excellence in an elegant setting.“

“The duck was perfectly crispy and carved right at our table. The restaurant itself is beautiful and elegant. The lady waiter was very sweet and attentive! She offered amazing recommendations for our drinks and food, everything was delicious. Service was astonishing, will surely come back.“

“Great chefs and great food“

“We have a grate time👍👍👍“

“Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL“

“Sam’s Table is a cozy restaurant with a seasonal menu and very welcoming staff and decor. We dined here with friends in March where we had the most delicious spring menu. Everyone at the table tried something they “don’t usually like” and Sam changed our minds. Every course was fresh, creative, beautiful and delicious. I loved how each dish had a special touch - we had preserved lemon and pea tendrils and sunflower seed tahini and dandelion. We will definitely be back.“

“The food drinks serviced, live music and ambience was excellent. We had the octopus which was perfectly cooked an seasoned and the bbq bourbon meatballs which were fantastic. The best salad was beautifully platted and tasted just as good. The drinks were very good. We had the eve elizyr non alch, Garden of Eden and 37th west.“
