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

“Homey ambience. Smiling service. Flowing wine (if you get the pairing.

By any regular metric, this is a 5/5. Unfortunately, this is New York. More unfortunately, they have a Michelin star. Thus, they must be judged within the strata in which they belong.

The ingredients were FRESH. This is their calling card. The carrots, the squash, the beets, the buckwheat. Kudos to their souring.

The meal is an imbalanced (to me and my table). We were craving protein, and this place highlights the produce. I will say the tastiest dish was a non meat course (mushrooms in a dashi broth)

Not top of my list, but massive respect to what they serve and what they represent.“

“Food is amazing! Service goes above and beyond. Had the uni soba, truffle gnocchi, and the pork chop. Both noodle dishes were on the smaller side, but definitely worth every cent. The pork chop was massive, definitely would recommend sharing it.“

“This Thi restaurant in Brooklyn was so delicious if you like Thi give this a go. Wednesday 40% off wine. It'scalled Lingo. The food was so exciting and balanced flavors! Their bold original menu reflects a deep love of flavors as well as an educated chef who pulls off their amazing flavors. Can't recommend enough!“

“4.5 really.
Really tasty food, ordered a la carte. Slightly unusual tastes, but they worked well.
Friendly staff. Fun ambience.

Slightly odd wine pairing experience: the staff clearly took a lot of care about testing the wines were ok, but struggled a bit to explain why their recommendations matched the food.“

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

“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.“

“This place was one of the best brunches I've ever experienced. Food was incredible & super allergy-friendly. The staff was super attentive and helpful. Bottomless brunch was actually bottomless- we never had an empty glass before they refilled. 100% would recommend to anyone!!!“

“They treated us exceptionally well! Especially the server Dian and the hostess Ashley. They made us feel like we were at home and met each of our needs before we even asked for anything. Loved them and the winter experience ! 10/10 would recommend“

“The fluke ceviche is a miracle. The pomegranate and fluke combination simply explodes in the mouth. The Basmati rice a triumph. Who knew crispy scallions could do this? The dirty chai crème brûlée orgasmic alongside the coconut sorbet... incredible!!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“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“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

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

“Amazing experience at RH Rooftop. The food was incredible, and the ambience was 🔥—I absolutely loved the dark, moody setting. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend the lobster roll with caviar and the steak filet—both were outstanding. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“A great place to get a top-notch burger-Add avocado! Cocktails were great and it has a delightful atmosphere. Really great service concept-more than one person assists with the table-our waiter wasn't as chipper as the others but would def recommend! Host was fantastic!“

“To Dylen James and the Traif Team,
Warm greetings from the couple visiting from Florida! We just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dylen for the amazing recommendations—we made it a point to visit every place you suggested, and each one was absolutely spot on.
Our experience at Traif was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, and the food… wow. Truly top-tier. Hats off to the chef and the entire team—you all delivered a 6-star experience (yes, we’re going beyond 5!).
We’ll definitely be back soon, and next time, we just might call ahead to see if Dylen is working 😊
With appreciation,
Your Florida Fans“

“My friends and I celebrated a birthday party with 12 guests and were completely blown away by the food and the hospitality. The duck, the trout, the skate, the beef longgasnia, the pork with pistachio-- everything was delicious. We did not want the night to end--Definitely our new favorite restaurant in all of NYC!“

“Best lunch I’ve had. My taste buds were delighted. Every single dish was amazing and the portions are so generous I couldn’t put my fork down. Wow the monkey bread melted in my mouth, the wedge salad was delicious with so much bacon and the mushrooms with the crispy onions omg! Plus it’s so pretty and cool! Service was tops and it was packed. I haven’t been there in 20 years and it was full of nostalgia. Sat in the bar area which is cozy but the dining room is gorgeous. Gee how neat, the original phone booths with numbers on the wall of local NYC establishments. Score this restaurant you will be happy!“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“

“Check out my IG lawyer.traveler.dreamer for video of the whole experience. I first tried Saperavi back in May downtown and was completely blown away. I instantly fell in love with their Georgian food. Seriously, I’ve been thinking about it ever since! So when they opened a new spot on the Upper East Side, I knew I had to go back right away. Good news: it was just as incredible. Everything we ordered tasted so authentic and comforting. It felt like a warm hug on a plate. Here’s what we shared: • Assorted Pkhali: A bright, flavorful way to start. • Imeruli Khachapuri: The highlight! That bread was pillowy, and the cheese inside was perfectly gooey and salty. You can't skip this. • Chicken Tabaka: Crispy and delicious. • Khinkali (Georgian dumplings): These were absolute flavor bombs—juicy and seasoned just right. • Pelamushi: A uniquely sweet grape pudding for dessert. It was the perfect, light finish. Honestly, eating that food in Manhattan, it felt like I was getting a truly authentic, little taste of the country of Georgia itself. That's how comforting and perfectly executed everything was. If you're looking for a new cuisine to fall in love with, or just want food that feels like a home-cooked meal, Saperavi is definitely worth checking out.“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“Holy cow! We just had the Restaurant Week Bento Box lunch from 232 Bleecker and it was just out of this world. Hands down the best meal we've had since the pandemic started. The way Chef Cupps teases the flavor out of vegetables and meats is just astounding. We are in heaven! We also ordered from 232 Bleecker on Christmas Eve, and the food was once again incredible. We are huge fans of Chef Cupps. She previously cooked at UnTitled at the Whitney which was our favorite restaurant in NYC. We are so glad that she and Nick and the rest of her beautiful staff are doing so well.“

“A fun place with interesting people watching but I came alone hoping to sit at the bar and was expecting and comfortable with waiting for an hour since it was as a Saturday (it was 6pm but that wasn’t early enough), but they were not sitting solo diners and instead would wait for seats next to each other to open up to sit couples, at one point leaving and open seat available for about 20 minutes.“

“Fabulous and gluten free. great selection, service, atmosphere and very close to MSG!“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“Is it pretentious? Yes. Is it loud? Yes. Is the food amazing beyond your expectations? Yes. Fresh oysters, great caviar, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, the list goes on. You’ll be thankful you put up with the wait and the cramped bar once you sit and taste the food“

“Birthday celebration for a friend and 13 others . Will be back again. Customer service outstanding. Atmosphere great. Had a wonderful time.“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“The pancakes are 100% worth it. Fluffy on the inside, crispy at the edges, paired with a syrup that’s balanced and has a bit of a lemon zest??

Other standouts were the oysters, schnitzel and ordered the sausage as a side. Yummy cocktails too“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Fabulous experience last night here for a quick fun trip to the city. Perfect pre-show spot if seeing anything at Lincoln Center, as we were. Team from hostess, to manager Shay, who was checking on all guests periodically, in addition to our fabulous server Tijana were wonderful and so friendly. The food did not disappoint either! Great menu, and reasonable prices for the amazing quantity you get- not to mention the quality. We went for the filet with the cacio e Pepe ravioli and there really aren’t enough adjectives to describe how delicious it was - perfection!! In addition the garlic babel, pepperoni cups, meatballs, antipasto wedge and MOST mind-blowing lemon cheesecake were all sublime!! Great job and can’t wait to get back to try the other amazing dishes we saw delivered all around us.“

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