“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“This is a real gem of place. The food and wine is perfect. A beautiful and unique menu. Staff are friendly and efficient. Gorgeous venue, loved the rock music. Highly recommend.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

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

“Excellent cocktails, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere! 10/10“

“Moono became one of my favorite spots in NYC. My wife and I tried it after a last minute reservation and I have to say it was amazing. Moono offers a perfect mix of elegant ambience, flavorful modern Korean dishes, and attentive service. It was great dining experience!“

“Despite the cool atmosphere, good vibe, and enjoyable drinks, our experience was hindered by inattentive service. We waited at the bar for quite some time, trying to catch the eye of two different waiters, but were largely ignored. It was disappointing, especially given that they were pretty much right in front of us, backs turned, walking by and seemed to be doing everything possible to actually serve customers.

The shrimp were not very good given the price. The tuna tartar was excellent.“

“We had a cute date night at this place, but it fell short of our expectations. We were excited after reading the glowing reviews, but the service was disappointing. Given the limited seating and the small number of guests, we expected more attention and guidance on the menu. However, the menu was not extensive, so we didn’t receive a comprehensive overview of the dishes.

Despite these shortcomings, the food was delicious. Each dish was unique, and the flavors and presentation were perfect. This is a seafood restaurant, so be prepared for a variety of dishes, some of which are served raw.

overall, we would rate a four out of five given the shortcomings in the service.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

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

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“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 ordered 2 shrimp burgers, cocktails, tartare and bread and butter. The cocktails are great! The quality is very good. The shrimp burgers aren't bad either. Not exactly wow, but good enough. But for an aperitif, the bread and butter should be improved a little... the bread should be a soft white baguette, crispy, and the butter should have pieces of salt. Instead, gray bread with barely salted butter. If this point had been changed, the rating would have been 5. But despite this, the dinner was good! We will definitely come back again ♥️“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“The flavors were great and will be back next time. Any food lovers out there?“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“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“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Had always heard great things and I can confirm that they hold up. They have some outdoor seating so we took advantage of that. Ordered the Sabry’s Combo (shrimp, calamari and salmon) which came with salad, bread and rice. Also got the mixed Tajine (shrimp and calamari) which was incredible. Definitely be sure to save your bread to dip on the Tajine. While we were waiting for our food, the owner popped his head out to say that they had a special soup that day so we decided to try it. It was Molokhia or green soup which had shrimp in it. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“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!“

“Amazing service and oysters!!“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Ilis was highly recommended to us by a friend who is a chef, after we asked about suggestions on restaurants in New York that truly push boundaries. It did not disappoint. While we are quite familiar with the concept of radical local sourcing and seasonal cooking organised by colder and warmer days, (yes, days not months), Ilis still managed to surprise us. We opted for the market menu, which is tailored to the ingredients available on that very day, and were treated to an additional dish. Each course was impeccably well prepared and presented effortlessly, and fun! The natural taste of the ingredients was allowed to shine, offering the rare opportunity to unspoil your palate and rediscover how herbs, vegetables, and meat/fish taste on their own, when not suffocated in fat, sugar, and spices. This, we believe, is the key to the success of Ilis and its chef Mads Refslund: being able to keep the dishes almost naked while never loosing the culinary direction. An absolute standout was the extra dish: raw tuna scraped from the dorsal fin spine, followed by the other side grilled with sesame. It was nothing short of a feast! Another memorable feature is Ilis' book of ingredients, which you can browse through between courses. It offers insight into their sourcing, philosophy, food preferences, and quirks (giggle). Lastly, the open kitchen is from another orbit, with its wood-fired charcoal oven, open barbecues, and dedicated adjacent fish and meat smoking stations. We could rave on and on about it. Very special place, which easily deserves six stars.“

“excellent, sat at bar, impressive food, look forward to returning“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“Fabulous dinner with family. It was a beautiful restaurant with great food and staff. It was quite busy so it was by no means quiet but it was still A very pleasant experience. Would Highly recommend for a great steak or their chicken parmigiana was also amazing.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Memorable meal! Went with a larger group so ordered almost everything on the menu. Every dish was really good, a few were truly incredible (the chicken was up there with the best I've ever had). Good vibes & service. Spacious. With drinks expect $200 person, but we were all stuffed. Highly recommend!“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Tavern 157 is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that perfectly balanced charm and sophistication.

Every dish was great. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident. Pair that with their impressive drink selection--especially their sangria--and you have an evening to remember.

The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations. They made us feel like we were the only table in the house, even though the place was buzzing.

Tavern 157 is the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just indulging in amazing food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true five-star experience!“

“The food is exceptional, especially all the seafood. Very fresh, tasty and well prepared. The staff is very friendly and offer great suggestions from the menu. We came in the evening had a great view and also got to see a spectacular sunset!!!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Fantastic place, super excellent attention from Felipe, the manager and the waitress Juliana. I loved the place, the atmosphere and the food. This place is a 10/10! If you are looking for a good atmosphere in Long Island City this is the perfect place.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Quite expensive but decent food. Service is wonderful!! Our waiters were friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome right away. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite measure up.

The mushroom pasta is tasty but too oily, making it feel heavy. The focaccia and lamb chops are good and well-cooked, but they’re not impressive enough to justify the high prices. The fries and cheese balls? Not worth it and better skipped.

Overall, the food is decent but overpriced. The excellent service makes a visit worthwhile, but I don't think I'd go back often.“

“Was the most refined fine dining experience I’ve had in Manhattan. I would highly recommend it! Phenomenal food … unique experience and fantastic atmosphere! The staff has the utmost attention to detail.“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

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