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.
Andrew
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!
Tanya
It's amazing. Love everything about it. Been there several times and it never disappoints.
Robert
One of my traditional favorite places to dine in NYC. We decided to eat in the bar. Service and food were great as always.
Lori
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.

Aretsky's Patroon is my go-to restaurant when in New York for client meetings. Food, service, and ambiance are always top flight.
Craig
Warm welcome, impeccable service, delicious fare and stiff drinks — no wonder I return to Aretsky's Patroon again and again.

An exquisite experience - food, wine, service, atmosphere - all outstanding. The personal touch makes all the difference!
Loud and so over priced. We waited over an hour for our food and it showed up cold. Not to mention it's over priced by 2x the standard in the area. Very disappointed. You'd h the ink if a $200 steak shows up cold they'd give a hoot. Nope!

this restaurant is everything that was good about the NYC in the old days. i could eat here every day. Every dish is excellent and the bar is the best place to be.

Mindblown. I will come back 100% every dish was amazing. Fresh and very flavorful. Hospitality was amazing too. We weren’t rushed to leave. The owner stopped by at the table we felt like family. The wine was top notch ! Loved everything.
Jed
Pricey, but worth it: great food, ambiance, and service. A bit noisy, but everyone seemed to be having a great time!

My absolute all-time favorite restaurant in Manhattan! You just can't go wrong with Aretsky's Patroon. We had the lamb and the Dover Sole and as always it was cooked perfectly and beyond delicious. Stéphane and Gene along with the rest of the staff always give a warm welcome. It's the quintessential NYC restaurant. They have an amazing rooftop bar and live jazz on Fridays also.
