“My wife and I were recently at your restaurant our server who told us he was new to his position (2weeks) gave us amazing cartious and attentive service like an experienced professional unfortunately I didn't get the young man's name..our visit was on Friday 2/25 at about 3:30 in the afternoon . I just wanted to give him his due compliments“

“I loved this place so much. Food fantastic. Excellent vibe and the music great.“

“For what I ordered I was pleased my only complaint was my cold sesame noodles could have been more spicy and more oily. But this place right near the air Tran is very clutch to take food to go to jfk with. Everything at jfk was closing by 9pm and expensive. This place is on Uber Eats and I just ordered pickup“

“Excellent lunch, the seafood platter for 2 featuring fresh succulent whole lobster, scallops, shrimp, calamari and white fish. Accented by rich flavor from the sauce and rice. Fresh traditional flatbread that puffs up on baking tasted delicious.“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“One of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I got the New York strip, medium, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Ylem for taking such great care of us and making the whole experience even better!“

“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.“

“Happy hour chef's choice oysters and the rainbow ceviche were delish—especially the ceviche with the passion fruit miso sauce! Parker rolls were mediocre. Hush puppies were yummy with a lil spice to them. Aperol spritz= refreshing. Our server Stacey was great!“

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

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“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!“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

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

“Had dinner at Tavern 157 with friends last night and had such a great experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Definitely try the foie gras uni and oysters. They also have an amazing happy hour menu—perfect for a night out with friends!“

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

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“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!“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Had gone for an early evening catch-up meeting with a friend. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Great selection of wines and even better was the 'art of recommending' the right wine. We accomobied the wine and discussions with Sushil unrolled and Chicory salad, both tastes great and were the right size for 2.
Place has a certain energy about it that add to having great conversations at the restaurant.“

“For us, the food was hit or miss. Right from the start, the Sardine toast was the star of the night, then there was aRazor clam special, which was 50/50... the clams were great, but we didn't prefer the melon taste to the dressing. After that, we had the mortadella and sourdough. Both were very good. Ate that we had the snap pea salad and the mitake mushrooms with garlic fudge. Again, both were excellent. It was the mains that just fell apart for us. The bucatini had slices of squash on top that were dry, and a bit too much basil, which overpowered the dish. Other than the basil, it was lacking in flavor. The other main was the hake and risotto. While the risotto was heavily citrussed, almost too much so, it was still tasty, but the fish, again, lacked flavor/ seasoning/ salt. Overall, the meal was a 3.5, but we bumped it to a 4, because worth the omission of the mains, it could have been a 4.5-5.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Great happy hour ($13 for 6 oysters and a beer, option for a small upcharge for wine instead) and rotates which oysters are available for the deal. All appetizers were also great and I’d heartily recommend the marlin crudo! Everything was delicious and the staff was efficient and offered insight into differences/preferences. Would absolutely return!“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“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.“

“Great greek food, very Tasty“

“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“

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

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“service and food was amazing“

“I don't throw this around often, but this was easily one of the best tasting menus I've ever had!!! I’m not even gassing it. Flawless, no misses, no notes! Every course was creative, beautifully executed and packed with flavor combinations I never would've imagined.

Tucked in the back is an intimate chef's counter serving a seven-course tasting menu. Watching the chefs work right in front of you while every course is personally introduced makes the entire dinner feel like a story unfolding course by course. Some of my favs: The Lox, Chicken Wing, Pork Collar + Olive Oil Cake.

If you're looking for your next special occasion dinner or you're just a foodie who appreciates an unforgettable meal add this one to your list. Trust me!!“

“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.“

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

“Deliciousness! I’m going to stop there as soon as I arrive into nyc on my next visit 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely incredible NYC dining experience!

There are so many restaurants in NYC, but Strange Delight is one you genuinely do NOT want to miss. From the food and drinks to the service and hospitality, everything about our experience was phenomenal.

We started with the Old Fashioned and Vieux Carré, and both drinks were outstanding. For an appetizer, we ordered the smoked fish dip — and WOW. Absolutely incredible. It was so good that literally the two tables next to us ordered the exact same thing after seeing ours, and we were all raving about it together. That says everything!

Then came the crab dirty rice and the blackened swordfish belly. Jesus. 🤤 These dishes were incredible. So damn good, packed with flavor, and completely worth ordering. I honestly can’t recommend them enough.

The service absolutely deserves five stars as well. The staff was attentive without being overbearing and was there for us every step of the way. They genuinely helped make the entire evening feel special.

But I have to give an extra and very special shoutout to Geri, the General Manager. The biggest reason I wanted to give this restaurant credit beyond the food and drinks was the help I received before we even arrived. I was trying to reserve a specific time because I wanted to make this a special birthday date for my partner, and Geri went above and beyond to help make it happen. She was incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had the experience I was hoping for.

I cannot thank Geri and the entire staff enough for all of their help and for making the evening such a treat.
Great food. Phenomenal drinks. Outstanding service. And truly exceptional hospitality.

If you’re looking for somewhere special in NYC, put Strange Delight on your list. You will not regret it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A really creative brunch selection in the food tasted good. Their standard breakfast with eggs and toast and beans had bacon which I cannot consume, and they had no options for mushrooms or something else, I had to add it extra, even though the bacon would not be served, which I found to be un flexible and unfavorable for vegetarians“

“Probably my favorite dining spot in Greenpoint. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the fish shop connected to the bar, together with the outdoor garden dining area, gives the whole place such a unique and relaxed feel.

We came without a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We sat at the bar inside, which turned out to be a great experience. We had oysters, a lobster roll, fish tacos, and a few drinks, and absolutely everything was delicious.

My personal favorite was the lobster roll. I honestly just wish I could come back more often. It ended up being my favorite meal during our time in New York City, and I’ll definitely revisit every time I’m back in New York.“

“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!! 😊“

“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.“

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

“#組長極力推薦 #響紐約可以食到呢個level嘅質素就已經算係禾地嘅福份 😆 😆#紐約食食 #omakasetempura #係我響紐約食過最好食嘅天婦羅“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“Great food - nice & friendly staff - reasonable prices Everything is excellent“

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

“My god! the bartender, the one who the grey hair is definitely a 90/80!!!His specialty Lechee Martini was to die for!! way better than the tattoo guy! But the service from all was spectacular! please come by and give this place a shot! Great pork chop!! Will return!“
