A slice of classic NY in Midtown East steps away from Grand Central. Old school. Attentive and knowledgable staff. Cuisine: sumptuous American bistro fare. Killer martinis. Respectable wine list and wines by the glass. Been going for year. It's a fan favourite.

A great evening. Hit all the high points. Be prepared for a costly wine list. We will go back.

We always enjoy dining at this restaurant. We are welcomed the minute we walk in the door. We like to sit at certain tables, and we are lucky to have our request honored. We particularly like the warm Parkerhouse rolls, crisps, Caesar salad, pasta, steak, Dover sole and beignets. The food is delicious. The service is delightful and not rushed. Since so many high-end restaurants are now in the hands of hospitality groups, it is a pleasure to dine at a family restaurant with one location and the owners on site. A rarity these days. And to conclude there is NO deafening background “music”.

Really lovely service and the food is amazing. This restaurant also has a gorgeous art collection comprising New York City themed photographs.

Pleasant bar / jazz venue before or after dinner . Selection of wine was limited and not very good for the price per glass. Bar food was uninspiring and quite bland (guacamole). Also , price excessive .The host was very welcoming and I would go back because of him and what musicians or singer were performing

Had the most amazing and special experience at Aretsky’s Patroon. Every detail from the atmosphere, to the staff and to the out of this world food was absolutely astounding. Best restaurant in NYC for sure hands down!!!!

Fabulous service in New York tradition. Had a weiner-schnitzel w/lingonberry sauce because it is so hard to find and it was SO good. Caesar salad prepared at the table. Perfection of an aperol spritz. Owner came to greet us - such an inspiration.

While the food was amazing (get the Parker House rolls!) the service was impeccable which is something I appreciate. This was my first time dining but I see more visits in my future!

Service is excellent. The seared tuna was absolutely delicious. Great place for business lunch.
Everything about dining at Ken Aretsky's Patroon was perfect - service, food, wine, ambience. We cannot wait to return!

Aretsky's Patroon is a midtown favorite of mine. The menu is a great mix of well-executed classics and creative new ideas. There is something for everyone. My wife and I enjoyed sharing the watermelon salad and lamb meatballs to start. Then the halibut and lamb chops for mains. And delightfully light beignets to finish. A great wine and dessert wine list rounded out the experience. Definitely a special night out.

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.
