Stopped in for a light lunch. We chose Brussel sprouts as an appetizer—delicious! Followed that with the seafood salad and the mango salad: flavorful and well-prepared.

Perhaps the best service I've had any restaurant from people who obviously take their profession seriously while at the same time remaining friendly and responsive. While the menu is not very ground-breaking, everything I've ever ordered at this restaurant has been excellent both in quality of food and preparation. The restaurant is fairly quiet. Highly recommended.

Great menu to choose anything you feel like eating. That is what drew me to try this restaurant. The majority of the patrons in the restaurant, and there was not an empty table were locals. Done eating there more than once a week. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, the Vienna Schnitzel and the Dover Sole which is my favorite fish and I've ordered it around the world. It wax one of the best Dover Soles I've ever eaten. We requested the butter in the side so it wasn't served drowning in butter. The schnitzel was a very large veal chop prepared to perfection. The lingonberry jam was a nice touch and I requested some lemon to squeeze on top. We had mashed potatoes as a side. They were delicious, but overpriced. Now back to the shrimp. They were very large shrimp but there was something about them that didn't make us wanting more. Glad we only ordered 4. Would not order again. The house made rolls are also delicious and fattening but worth the $12 they charge. Dessert was the coconut cream pie. As a connoisseur of this pie it didn't rate very high in my list. Next time it's the chocolate lava and walnut cake for sure. I'll be back for sure. Our server was amazing. His assistants did lack on keeping the water glasses full, but our server more than made up for that. Everyone knew him well in the restaurant. They have a lot of different dining areas which makes it a very nice restaurant to eat at.

Stefan was great as always. Front of the house most welcoming and the food is always perfection!
David
Like two excellent restaurants in one — the upstairs rooftop is relaxed and spacious, while the downstairs dining room is elegant and attentive. A perfect place to enjoy an exceptional evening in New York.

One of my favorite places to dine in midtown for many years now. Consistently delicious food, amazing service and a wonderful place to have a business or personal conversation.

This place was amazing. The best steak and service. Cannot recommend highly enough. Had the prime cab for two, which servers four perfectly! 😍
Ernie
This restaurant epitomizes class dining in New York City—from the greeting at the front desk to the food quality to the service—it's a total “can't miss.” For either lunch or dinner and for any occasion, Aretsky's is a winner. And the quaint bar on the ground floor gives off a unique atmosphere of privacy combined with sophistication. I could relax in there for hours!

A solid recommendation for business lunch in Midtown. The food is well prepared and the service is solicitous. I was impressed by the tender and favourful chicken milanese that I had. My colleague had a cobb salad that looked very inviting.
Altogether outstanding. Ken and the staff all made us feel so welcome. One of the all time great NYC establishments, an extremely fine experience.
Brendi
The food was outstanding. Local owner and 100% catered to any of your requests. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. The caeser salad was delish and a must! The best spicy margarita I have ever had! I would highly recommend this place and will be back again!

It's amazing. Love everything about it. Been there several times and it never disappoints.

One of my traditional favorite places to dine in NYC. We decided to eat in the bar. Service and food were great as always.

Our experience was incredible from the moment we entered throughout the entire meal. The gentleman who took care of us was so delightful. The food overall was excellent!! Special mention for the lemon tart. It was as perfect as a dessert could be.
