“Amazing experience from start to finish! The box office team was incredibly friendly and helpful—from the call center to the castle—and made sure our large party was accommodated and seated together, which we really appreciated. Our server Michael was outstanding and went above and beyond to make my birthday special with a shout-out and dessert. The food was delicious! The energy, service, and overall experience were unforgettable. Highly recommend Medieval Times!“

“The breakfast menu is just perfect with something for everyone. I preferred the pancakes with eggs, bacon and sausage. Those pancakes were so tender and I used lots of butter on them. Yummy!“

“Had the best breakfast this morning along with my husband and we love this place so I’ll recommend to our family and friends“

“This is our 2nd time there and the food is great i enjoyed eating there, great vibe staff awesome and the price hands up.“

“Excellent Inside n Outside !!! FabulouS Food !!“

“I came here with my family and some friends before an Elton John concert and we had a fabulous time. My brother and I absolutely feasted on the delicious empanadas. I ordered the grilled skirt steak and it was delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive. My crew and I had a blast there and would highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Best choice I have made since I started using the Slice app. Good food, prompt delivery, huge selection and the people doing the deliveries are great. Have tried numerous menu items without any disappointment. Happy to support a great local business!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Best that i ever been“

“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!!!“

“Beautiful experience! Delicious food, nice place and GREAT service! Silvia Sánchez made sure we had the best birthday night! Absolutely impecable everything!
The plates Silvia recommended were exquisite (gnocchi, tuna, ceviche, lamb) WOWW!

We tried the whole dessert menu! Tres leches and the green apple sorbet were our favorites! ✨✨✨
I’ll definitely be back !“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“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….❤️“

“nice service,,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💪💪🤳🤳🤳🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🤝“

“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!“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“This place is astoundingly good from top to bottom. The hostess Carla was amazing. Our server was next level. The clams casino is one of the best dishes I’ve had in my twenty years in New York hands down. Don’t sleep on the prawns or the lobster orzo. My only complaint possible is the portions are a little small but GOD DANG are they delicious. The burger is very tasty but maybe not worth the price but everything else is truly unfathomably scrumptious. Been here twice now. Plan on being back as much as my wallet can handle it.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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“

“My husband and I dined here during our visit to NYC. We came from the Cincinnati area and it was our first visit to the city. When planning the trip, Colonie caught my eye so we decided to give it a try. I’m so glad we did, because it quickly turned into the absolute highlight of our trip and was an evening we won’t forget. The service is outstanding - each individual host made us feel like family. We were never short beverages, and our space at the chefs table was kept tidy at all times - no empty plates left behind. The sous chefs are impossibly talented at what they do and gave every single plate attention and care before it left their sight. And lastly, the Chef is a true artist and extremely kind, humble person. We were delighted when he walked over to pay a visit as it was our anniversary dinner. The food is layered with exquisite, complimentary flavors that are refined and articulate but also make these dishes relatable, familiar, and remarkable at the same time. As a couple traveling foodies, I can without a doubt say this is one meal you don’t want to miss when you visit NYC. I’m just waiting to visit again and see a Michelin star outside the entrance. Forever a staple every time we return to the city. Thanks Chef and crew for an unforgettable experience.“

“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.“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“From the warm welcome when we arrived to the moment we left, this experience was not just about discovering a new restaurant – it was a true destination! Their specialty is fish, and even as someone who usually prefers meat, I completely changed my mind!

This restaurant comes close to excellence in every way — creativity, flavors, and presentation. Nothing is missing! The lentils with foie gras, for example, were absolutely delicious, the lobster roll possibly the best of my life and the donut dessert was simply divine.

Highly recommended — a must-try culinary gem!“

“Great time! Food was delish!“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Such a delicious restaurant! Came here for dinner and loved every bite of wha we ordered.
The place is cozy, with covered outdoor seating.
We ordered the mushroom and leek gratin, the chicories hazelnut salad and scallops and every thing was incredibly delicious! The gratin was creamy and rich, the salad very flavorful with a perfectly balanced dressing and the scallops so buttery.
Will definitely be back to try more things on their menu!“

“This Manhattan diner was neat and clean, and the food was definitely good. The staff was friendly, but one downside was that they charged for refills on small cups, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, a solid spot for a tasty meal if you’re in the area, just be aware of the extra charges, they will try to be sneaky.“
