My favorite dish is in the picture 🍝 The pasta is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is just the right amount of spicy. I never finish it all and it’s even better the next day.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Food was delicious! Had the Bronzino which came with the sayadeya rice. The fish was so delicious, perfectly seasoned. The unexpected star of the show was the grilled octopus which was so soft and juicy… not chewy at all and lots of flavor. Maybe the best i’ve had. Friendly Egyptians. The service and atmosphere fits the vibe, very casual spot. Food was served quickly. Will be back!“

“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.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

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

“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.“

“Stopped by here for dinner and drinks with my husband on a Wednesday evening. We were seated quickly despite being walk ins. Everything was fantastic, especially the empire filet for two and the wild blueberry cocktail. Thank you Ben for your amazing service! Would definitely come back.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“service and food was amazing“

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

“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.“

“Loved the tasting menu experience! Such an active kitchen and everything tasted amazing. I also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and the kitchen was able to fit it in before dessert. Great dinner! The flavor profiles were really blended. Loved small aspects like the coconut snow and the ginger granita.“

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

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

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

“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 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“

“Happy hour (5-7), followed by dinner at Upstate New York Craft Beer & Oysters in the East Village.

It’s a tiny place; we got there at 5pm and it was packed (and loud) by 7pm.

All their fish is bought at the market every day so the menu varies.

We had the grilled tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes & bok choy and the seared diver scallops over roasted vegetables with a prosciutto butter sauce, along with a French rosé.

Everything was delicious and the service was great too. Make sure you have a reservation.“

“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!“

“This is a magical spot. I’ve had dinner here twice, most recently for their Sunday Supper. The food was excellent across the board — in addition to the three courses included with the meal, we had the pearled barley with burrata and the bone marrow with mashed potatoes. The three of us couldn’t agree on what we loved the most. My personal favorites were the bone marrow and the chicken soup with cilantro and lime (would pay $$$$$ for that soup the next time I’m sick).

Don’t sleep on Ilis for a light dinner and drinks. Even if you’re not doing the full tasting menu, this place offers so much for you to try that you likely won't find anywhere else. As someone who has sat at the bar many times, I’d say that the cocktails are on par with bars like Maison Premiere and Please Don't Tell (all the drinks are excellent but don’t miss the Carajillo!). And the a la carte menu offers dishes that are consistently delicious and interesting. It’s a BEAUTIFUL restaurant that’s been meticulously crafted, and everyone who works here is really knowledgeable and friendly.“

“I went to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everything was exceptional! From the time we walked in until the time we left. My only concern was that we did not take pictures of the food, but you will have a great experience.“

“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!! 😊“

“cool vibe natural wine bar. love a good natural wine bar. amazing wine all round. we got 4 glasses and they did not disappoint. their specials were fab and the entire tasting menu looks fab. would love to go back for more food. great service. happy 4 years!“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“Friend who tried Cap’t Loui in Cape Cod highly recommended it when she saw it open in Sunnyside, Queens. Prices are good, so you don’t have to wait to treat yourself only on special occasions. The Capt’n Loui sauce boil was really good and 1 pound per person was very filling. The garlic noodles as a side was delicious, and we tried it dipped in the boil’s sauce, too. Service was spectacular. Minh Kha gave us his favorites as suggestions and cleaned up after us well. All of my favorite pop tunes were playing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Just the best. Happy hour oysters and cava, amazing service, really interesting seafood with incredible flavours - shout out to the deep fried scallops (didn’t know they would be deep fried but they were amazing) and the bone broth with the tuna steak was top. It was super busy, but we got a table with no reservation, such a vibe on a sunny afternoon.“

“I've been dining at Nick's since the late 90s and I have never been disappointed. The food is great, love the atmosphere, and the service is great. Our waiter was ALLAN, he is so on point, courteous, very friendly.“

“OMG Five ✨ I loved the options, the prices, the camaraderie of the staff! Food was sooo well priced, you pick your portion size and how it’s cooked!! Get the Greek salad but plan to share with a few friends. I’ll be back!!“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“Went out with friends to eat Friday night September 2-22 The food was great the manager was lovely I believe her name was Amy she is a awesome host Will be back soon“
