Our server Mariia was really outstanding and very attentive in a professional and unobtrusive way. The food was wonderful and we had a great experience. The prix fixe style of the menu is a great concept for an efficient but refined lunch.

Always a great spit to eat or catch a networking cocktail. The staff is attentive and food consistently tasty.

Incredible creative delicious and healthy fresh food (chopped cabbage salad unlike anything else- wonderful). Excellent service
Diane
We had a lovely lunch with a view of the kitchen. The food was interesting and delicious, the plating meticulous, and the service was 5 stars! Try the avocado ice cream! Delicious and stunning presentation!!!

It was our first time trying this place. It is very cute inside and we loved the servers. I will say the drinks and food took, on average, a little longer to come out. But everything was delicious. I got the cheeseburger tacos and I wanted more cheese -- she took it back and added more with a new tortilla. We will be back I'm sure!

Interesting tasty food with a twist from navhos, to tacos to sides. Open kitchen so creates the ambience. Courteous service from coats, to bar to table.

The food and ambiance of this restaurant were pleasant, but the service was fair and the restaurant felt understaffed. I was surprised there weren't any side dishes to accompany the taco dishes on the menu. The tacos we did have were good, but they were also quite overpriced.

Food and service were excellent, but the occasion was very much marred by the loud music - making it impossible to carry on a conversation with my friends. Turn it down! Guests are there for a good time with friends - not a concert. No one has ever complained the music was too soft.

Oh thanks to the manager, Genc for excellent service. Our waiter was outstanding as well. It's always a joy to come to Empellon

I come to New York frequently and Empellon holds memories of birthdays, re-gatherings and celebrations of simple moments. If I have not planned ahead to meet a friend, I also feel very welcome as a solo woman guest. I love the way that its menu continues to surprise. Last night my grandson asked me how is this different from the place we went to last month when you were here? I answered that this is nuanced fine dining Mexican with Latino infusions. I'm not sure he fully got that... But he and his brothers certainly loved the guacamole with the salsa tasting! And I have another birthday for the memory books!
I can't say enough about this restaurant The food is out of this world and the service is the best I've ever experienced.

Great service; insanely loud. Had to yell to make each other heard. Food was good with lovely presentation; but I have had much better Mexican food.

Great food, service and ambience. The prices are outrageous. $24 for a small bowl of guacamole is robbery.
Mackenzie
Lovely spot! Definitely recommend the guac, dips, sweet potatoes and the little special pastry as an Appy
Maureen
Very attentive service. One of the people in our party has a significant allergy and our server was extremely detailed and attentive to her regarding this. He really went above and beyond. Also the food is very tasty!
