We took the chef menu - there was not a single dish that I didn’t like.
Usually don’t eat mussels - but they converted me
The seared foie gras was above the top
The ribs incredible
Shrimp mamamia

The first time I came here less than a year ago with my bf, I had a wonderful experience doing the chef selection menu.
However, this time when i came back with my family of 5, it was the opposite. First few dishes that came out, was all served on one plate and was barely enough to feed all of us. I have photos from the last time, and it definitely was not 5 portions. What took me out, was that the foie gras came with one egg???? For 5 of us? I had to speak up at that moment. The staff apologized and did send out an extra dish and dessert. But what if i didn’t speak up? Better off serving one plate a person than family style. Sorry, but i wont be coming back anymore

This restaurant was recommended by a friend today and he raved about it. We were overwhelmed by the quality of the food, service, and the cacophony of flavors we experienced tonight. Un freaking believable. I highly recommend!

I am so shocked by this restaurant's ethics. I made a reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a unique menu at $150 per person - without any further details. During the reservation process, I was asked to specify if I had any dietary restrictions. I then mentioned that I am pregnant.

Following this, the restaurant sent me an email asking me to review the menu and see whether I am comfortable skipping certain courses—but they will not be able to offer substitutions.

When I read the menu, I saw that I couldn't eat nearly 50% of the dishes. That was becoming a really expensive $150 dinner! Given the situation, I exceptionally requested a cancellation.

Traif accepted, but they actually kept $70 cancellation fee, and now they're refusing to refund me. They offered to convert it into a gift card, but I live in France, and I explicitly stated that I wouldn't be able to use it.

Now they've been ghosting me for the past 10 days. It seems this restaurant only cares about money.

Traif, next time, don't ask about dietary restrictions if you can't do anything about it. And I'm actually sorry for you you'd rather keep $70 than refund a pregnant woman who can't eat your $150 meal.

Really fantastic restaurant. Excellent value, large servings throughout the tasting menu, and the most friendly staff who go above and beyond. Thanks Dylan for taking care of us so well.

Probably one of the best value tasting menus in the city. Came here with a big group for a dinner and everyone left full and impressed. Would highly recommend and return.

Holy… this place is insane. Hands down, one of the best meals I’ve had in the city. My boyfriend and I chose the chef selection. Every plate of food felt like a luxury. The portions are small, but delicious, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. On top of that, the order and timing of when the food hits the table is incredibly timed. Whoever planned out the timing and order in which things hit the table, knows how to read a room. This place is an absolute treat and experience and we will definitely be returning.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in the entire US, all thanks to changing menu and their chef's selection offering (highly recommend to get this). I was never disappointed by a single item here, everything is unique and delicious. They treat you like you are in Michelin star restaurant, without charging their prices. Things I am always looking to are their tuna tartar, braised short ribs and dessert donuts! If you are ever in the area, stop by and you will love it!

Great food and drinks. Great service and bartender (Alex I think who also manages). We Get the tasting menu. We live nearby and ranks as one of best with Llama Inn.

Left this for our last night of a food-centric trip to NYC. The tasting menu and corresponding wine tasting are a steal and the flavors are well thought out and incredible. It was a quiet Monday night so atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy and service was excellent. Every single item in the 10 courses was a hit; the standouts for me were the tuna tartare, blueberry ribs, prawn and porcini risotto and the spatzle. Still dreaming of the ricotta donuts at the end! Will definitely be back when visiting again!

I’ve been here three times now and every single time the food is fantastic!
Came yesterday and did the chefs tasting and the wine pairing.
We were blown away by every dish and the value for what you get is unheard of in NYC. I also loved the wine pairing how every wine was explained in detail- a great touch.

ONLY downside has nothing to do with food or service. It’s an open kitchen so gets quite smokey inside. Wish the ventilation was a bit better.

Still cannot wait to come back again soon!
