FLX Table was everything I hoped it would be and more. Usually places like this struggle with dessert but the Basque cheesecake with citrus sauce and creme anglais was amazing.

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentines Day and it was nothing like either of us have experienced before. We loved everything about it and will be returning back. The food was amazing and they were very accommodating to me being a pescatarian. They shared their extensive knowledge of food and wine and everyone was super friendly. Thank you! (:

The food was amazingly executed with the pairings. The bread with the whole garlic gloves inside was especially delicious. The dinner team was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the entire experience.Vegetarian options: Menu tailored to dietary restrictions.Dietary restrictions: Accommodate all dietary restrictions.

We did the private wine pairing, I definitely recommend the Super Freak upgrade to try some really special bottles.

Was so looking forward to this for like 5 years. Love the idea of a supper club and thought it was going to be special with Christopher Bates and all. No Christopher! It was so over priced for what we got. There is no stove in kitchen, just hot plates, an acrylic bin of boiling water and an oven. Lamb cheeks were boiled in a plastic bag and we each received one. Just like other courses- one scallop, one bite of fro is gras. We felt rushed, but we did the first dinner, maybe the 8:00 one is more relaxed? And don’t get me started on the apple butter with everything?!?! Paying that much for an experience and to be so utterly disappointed. It is a good idea but maybe it was great before. Not anymore.

Elizabeth was a lovely host and took great care of us, and should not be considered with the rest of my review.Aside from her, the rest of the experience was pretty terrible. I could spend this time talking about the food, courses, etc. What really pissed me off was the Chef's lack of concern for my wife's shellfish allergy.At the beginning of the meal, he came over and acknowledged the allergy provided at the time of the reservation. He tried to convince us my wife would be fine because Squid is a cephalopod, not a shellfish. For someone who talks so highly about his travels when presenting every dish, it is embarrassing he doesn't know that a customer with a shellfish allergy (including mollusks and crustaceans), cannot have Squid. Finally, then the Squid dish came out. Instead of squid, her dish had a Dolma, however, he made it known that my wife's dish did not have squid ink, rather cuddlefish ink. Well, fun fact, cuddlefish are also in the mollusk family. When I sent the dish back, he disparagingly lectured us by stating "this is why we make a point to ask about allergies at the beginning of the meal". As if we hadn't clearly stated the allergy upfront. He begrudgingly took the dish back and fixed the issue. Maybe next time put your ego aside and learn a thing about food allergies if you are trying to be a fine dining chef. Berating your customers on their first plated course is so unprofessional and set the tone for the night.Allergies are not something to take lightly and the fact that the chef has no concern is what really frustrated me. This was on Dec 23rd nonetheless, so forgive me for not wanting to spend my holiday at the hospital dealing with allergic reactions.

Wonderful experience. Not at all pretentious as another reviewer mentioned. Also thought the price for a 5 course pre fix was more than fair, and we didn’t leave hungry. The food was well done. The wine pairings were superb. The atmosphere was light, intimate, and fun.

My partner and I were really looking forward to this place to celebrate her birthday. Unfortunately, compared to the reviews here and what I'd heard from others, we felt that our experience definitely fell short. The first, most glaring thing was that the fire alarm in the dining room was out of batteries and was doing the awful *screeching* sound all through dinner right above the tables. The staff was looking at each other and no one seemed to know what to do. I really wanted to grab a ladder and go up there to change the batteries myself to make it stop. This went on through the *whole dinner* in a very small dining room. By the end all the diners (and staff!) seemed ready for it to just be over so we could get out of the room. The food was pretty good, but honestly just okay through all the courses. The wine pairings were excellent and we really enjoyed those. Overall, for the price the food definitely under performed, but the real bummer was the screeching sound every few seconds that ruined the experience.

Overall good experience, part of an anniversary celebration for my wife and I. Sommelier rushed, but the selections for our "Fun" pairing were spot on. With a menu that changes, I'm not sure it's worth picking apart the food, but the vegetable board, venison course and apple-focused dessert were excellent. If you can afford the experience, it's well worth it.

Pretensious!I have no problem shelling out the $600 FLX Table charges for a private Dining experience for my wife and I. But when you charge a premium for a service and fall as short as they did I need to talk about it. And here,we,go….. First course consisted of essentially a bad,semi flacid (mostly limp) crudités with a few dips and butters that were flat, bland and flavorless. Second course was a play on a bowl of ramen. What a lackluster attempt. The broth was not built properly, flat,no body, not a hint of umami. Third course was rubbery over worked chicken meatball with a poor attempt at a puttanesca and a parmasen crisp. Fourth course a teeny tiny little baby duck breast that wasn’t cooked properly (duck 101;cook scored fat side down slowly to develop a crispy texture) basically inedible. The sauce and veg were forgettable and not worth mentioning. Then there’s dessert, surely would be great since they mention a pastry chef in the description of the dining experience. Literally one slice of an apple 2 dime size pieces of a sponge cake with a little granola (hidden valley oats and honey) and a tablespoon of crème fraiche. We were really hoping for gastronomic experience to remember and we will; but for all the wrong reasons. Now we weren’t expecting The likes of the French Laundry, Boulud or Le Bernardin. We were expecting some higher end provisions maybe a oyster or some scallop’s possibly some wagu or god forbid some frois gras. A word to the owners, pack your team up and take the drive to Albany and feed them a pre fixe from Yono’s and take notes on how a fine dining experience is supposed to go. Hold tight to the 2017 best of mention because it’s safe to say that was the peak of your establishment.

I really wanted to like it but the food just was not what I had hoped especially for the price. Also don’t understand the reviews saying the service was good. It felt cold, lacked personality and friendliness and was rushed. I will not return. Wish them the best but definitely need to fix some things. Especially the reaction I received when I opted out of the wine pairing.

I made a reservation very early for our dinner and included all allergies. The night of our dinner one dish was excluded because of allergies, no problem. My issue is that I was served a cob or corn instead with a dip dish. I feel the restaurant had plenty of time to coordinate an alternate dish for me and others that also had allergies.Dietary restrictions: They adhere to restrictions but you will get corn.
