“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Mermaid, whether this location or others, has really fresh and tasty seafood. This location is very convenient being off of (not in) Times Square. I love going there for their small bites during their happy hour, which does include weekends! They have far more than oysters and I love their clam chowder, raw fish dishes like tartar, and lobster knuckles.“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“Creative fun dishes and bev list.“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“We came at 5 PM on a Wednesday and it was calm and peaceful. The food tasted clean with a focus on the ingredients natural flavor. The chicken was fried very well and it's taste was fairly light with a hint of MSG. The galbi-jjim was tender and youll find yourself dipping it back in the sauce after each bite. Nothing was excessive in flavor which might be a downside for someone expecting heavy pocha style flavors. Even the kimchi wasn't too sour and had a crunch to it. It's unique and healthy, plus the place is gorgeous and a great place for a date.“

“I took my son to Empire Steak House for his 15th birthday, and overall it was a great experience. The service was amazing, attentive, welcoming, and made the night feel special from start to finish. The sides, mashed potatoes and baked potato, were just okay and could've used more flavor, even with butter, salt, and pepper. But the steak... absolutely incredible. Easily one of the best steaks in the city. Definitely a spot I'd return to for the quality of the meat and top-tier service.“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner. They had some cute birthday confetti on the table and a birthday card which was a nice touch. The dumplings, beet salad, scallops, brussel sprouts,and stuffed shrimp were all delicious! The drinks were great. Dessert selection was nice - the lemon tart was fantastic. Loved listening to the live jazz band which raised the bar for the atmosphere. Will definitely return. High class restaurant with high class service!“

“Had a fantastic time at Boro Brine. We had no res but were immediately seated at the bar. The drinks were great. The fish filet was definitely worth the hype. We loved the persimmon donut. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We’d definitely come back again.“

“San Sabino in New York gets a solid 4 out of 5 from me. The food was tasty and fresh and compared to their sister restaurant is definitely more fish forward. I made a point to try some of their most popular dishes. The lobster ravioli was flavorful and well executed. The cheese appetizer was balanced and nicely presented, though I would probably pass on it next time. The star of the night was the spicy tuna appetizer, which really stood out in both flavor and texture. The decor is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, and the service was friendly throughout the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“We came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and had a great experience overall. The food was delicious across the board, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Our only small note is that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side, but the quality and presentation were excellent.“

“The food is incredible! Casual but impeccable sums up the menu, atmosphere, and experience. Moina served us and is exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable. This is a must when in Fort Greene!! Don’t skip the oysters, the broccoli salad, or the shrimp loaf!“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“I have to say for the small amount of food the prices are a bit high.
The calamares were good, but the cheese plate i wasn't happy with it. They gave me 3 very tiny thin slices of hard white cheese, 1 very small brie, 2 dry pieces of white bread, 1 dry piece of priciutto and what I mostly did not like was the 2 slices of mortadella meat. They could have given a better meat choice also instead of dry bread water crackers would be a better choice.
That's just cheap meat to me. Usually when I order a charcuterie plate I am satisfied. This was not satisfying.
My husband had the burger he said it was OK.
Nothing to brag about.
The Tin building inside has a nice vibe.
Other than that I felt like when I was in France. Very little food with high prices.
The server was kind.“

“One of the East Village's best kept secrets. This casual, chill restaurant consistently has the freshest and best selection of oysters in New York City at very fair prices, especially during their happy hour special.

The crabcake and tuna tartar appetizers are our favorites, as well as the cioppino and the branzino special (when they have it). Also the tuna entree is large and really delicious. I love the scallops here and the fettuccine with clams. To be fair, all the seafood here is amazing!

The space itself is not fancy looking and gives off the vibe as a hidden away spot, but certainly one loved by people who appreciate great food.

The staff is super sweet as well! Whenever I go, I feel like there's always a bunch of regulars who have also discovered how amazing this place is and sort of want to keep it a secret.“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Nice location and friendly staff, reasonable menu“

“This restaurant honestly deserves more than one Michelin star!!!!

From the beautiful interior to the stunning plating, everything was amazing—and the food tasted absolutely heavenly. Even the word “luxury” feels too small for this place.

If anyone asks me for a Michelin restaurant recommendation in New York, this would be my number one pick without hesitation. For a special day with a special person, you really don’t need to think twice about where to go.

It was the happiest birthday meal I could have asked for, and one I’ll never forget.
I’m already trying to book another reservation soon. It was even better than I expected.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Enjoyed my experience there on Monday night.. The shrimp, codfish and battered fries were good.“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Didn’t expect to find my best crispy pork belly of the year at a Thai spot!!! The skin was insanely crisp yet slightly chewy. The dipping sauce on the side was perfectly balanced.

For the main, we went with the panang short ribs. The beef was coated in a rich, mildly spicy curry. We added steamed veggies instead of rice and they fit curry.“

“My partner and I love cafe mado and have previously dined here but not in a minute.

Place de fetes was truly a 10/10 experience. They are so creative and seasonally aligned. The menu is delicious and exciting.

The service is wonderful and kind.

If you can, come here, order a lot and enjoy the nice vibes“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“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!“

“A fantastic seafood restaurant. Definitely will be returning.“
