“Nice Matin is a bright and lively restaurant. The servers are friendly, helpful, and often check in with your table. Their food is very good and has some unique brunch options (grapefruit with granola topping, scrambled eggs with Marquez sausage, etc.) Yet they have the beloved choices of egg benedicts, sandwiches, and entrees such as salmon and steak even at brunch time. The prices are very good for Manhattan and every seat was filled during our Saturday brunch.“
“This was planned to be a landmark, special occasion meal. It's surpassed anything we expected. The atmosphere is calm without being cold and service allowed you to focus on the person you were dining with. We had the Chef's tasting menu. Every dish was beyond what was expected. Yes, on some items the dish may have a look small, but it was a perfect fit within the overall meal and menu. It was a satisfying meal that was ended with an amazing dessert. It is easy to see why the waiter said the Arctic birds nest played a big part in earning those Michelin stars. “
“Another wonderful evening at this fabulous restaurant1 I must give a shout out to the bartender Josh, our waiter, Pedro and the impeccable host Stephan. The staff is just wonderful too. The special artichoke appetizer was just out of this world.“
“5 Stars all around! The atmosphere was incredible, the food was delicious and the service even better. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and gave great recommendations, one of the greeters Inga was so kind and took some great photos for us on our way out.“
“We happened upon this delightful spot after touring the Intrepid. We were hungry for good food and were not disappointed. I had a Franziskaner draft and a cheeseburger, while cooked to well, when I asked for medium, it was well seasoned and had a good flavor on a nice hard roll. My wife had the grilled chicken wrap, I ate 1/2 of it and really liked it. It was a nice balance of pesto and mozzarella to chicken. The side salad wase nicely dressed. This was a seriously nice find, it was charming to walk into one of the oldest continually run bars in NYC and find great draft beer and food at an affordable for NYC price. The service was outstanding as well.“
“Stumbled by this bistro in Southampton and decided to go in for lunch. To our pleasant surprise we had a wonderful meal with excellent wine pairings suggested by our server, we loved our lunch so much we decided on having dinner at their NYC location the next evening, needless to say it was magnificent! Looking forward to trying the other locations….“
“I never had Albanian food before. My doorman is Albanian and told me about this place. This cozy restaurant didn’t disappoint me! I can’t tell it’s authentic or not since I’d never had, but everything we ordered was delicious especially Tave Elbasani, the lamb was so tender with flavorful yoghurt sauce. I must come back for other dishes to try soon!“
“Lovely, authentic, and comforting Russian food, approved by a Russian American. We will definitely go back. My parents who aren't the biggest New York fans also loved it and said they want to come back the next time they're visiting me!“
“Overall excellent BUT we were a party of 5 and seated in the rear (an area also used for private parties). The noise level was extremely loud- basically caused by a party of 6 right next to us. We were unable to hear conversations at our own table unless the person right next to us or directly across was speaking to you. We were there for Easter brunch so restaurant was crowded. There should be some noise attenuation in place due to hard ceiling and hard floors—noise just bounces. Food good but not quite up to par; however, I attribute that to the holiday and a full restaurant—as every other time I have dined here it has been close to perfect. The servers, host/hostesses, and the bussing staff were WONDERFUL! All polite, friendly and engaging. Highly recommended Cafe d'Alsace“
“I truly, truly love Babs. I've been coming here for a few years specifically for the oysters with the champagne mignonette - it's phenomenal. The ambiance is sophisticated and intimate, great for a small group of friends or a date. It pains me to give them four stars but I have to because of the service - I swear the waitress looked right at my friend and I waiting for a table and hid in the back. There were plenty of tables, so the bartender asked us if we'd like to sit, and then went and asked her to seat us. I felt like everything we asked for bothered her and I couldn't say thank you enough. Maybe it was an off night for her I'm not sure but from other reviews seems to be a theme. Go for the food and the bar! The location is amazing and it's nice to sit outside in warm weather.“
“1- Food = 5/5 Excellent. All of our food was served hot and delicious . Dishes were all a decent size. Drink were made quickly and properly ???2 - Service = 5/5 Excellent. Service with a smile. Never felt rushed and our water glass was always filled and our table was always clean.3 - Ambiance = 5/5 Excellent. Beautiful, well spaced dining area with ample space for guests.4 - Reservations = 5/5. Excellent. Using resy for reservations.5 - Value = 5/5 Excellent. We tried this restaurant a couple of times during the Covid -19 lock downs when the mayor and governor tried destroying the restaurants in N.Y.C but this restaurant was able to withstand the pressure and assaults when so many other restaurants caved and folded. Fairly priced for manhattan location, as price meets portions.Would definitely recommend and return.“
“The perfect pre theatre venue just steps from Broadway. From prix fixed entrees to a wonderful array of choices from trout, pasta, seafood risotto, steaks and more, and an extensive wine list, the food options are plentiful and delicious. The best part is the ambiance. Its a throw back to the awesome Josephine Baker's era with artwork to match. Sit by the piano as the pianist engertIns on multiple instruments accompanied by vocalist pumping out the best French ballads. It makes for a wonderfully unforgettable dining experience.“
“Fig & Olive offers an ideal setting for gatherings, boasting a variety of shared plates for starters, delightful cocktails, and delectable bread with olive oil. During our visit with eight colleagues, the ambiance felt akin to a family dinner. The service was welcoming, offering helpful recommendations without pressuring us to order more than necessary. My personal highlight was the mezze plate featuring babaganoush and yogurt with spicy honey.“
“Jess Shadbolt & team performing the kind of alchemy that transports you to the food of your Nicoise meme or Ligurian nonna with fresh local produce driving an ever changing menu served up by professionals in a charming space paired with a fantastic winelist. Just don't steal our seat...“
“My wife and I absolutely LOVE this place. The food is always good. Very affordable. The service is always great. Luis is the best. He is always friendly, accommodating, and makes sure you like what you ordered. When you visit ask for him. You won't be disappointed. The ambiance of the diner is so welcoming and elegant. It's very clean and inviting. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Check them out.“
“We ordered three tapas plates without realizing they had a prix fixe group menu, which included all three of the tapas we originally ordered. I asked if we could get the group menu ( 5 tapas and two paellas) and just get two more of the tapas choices and continue from there. The server said they could do that. Instead they brought five more tapas , including once again the three tapas we originally ordered, and two new ones, then the two paellas. We were charged for the original three tapas and then the group menu as well. It was way too much food and too much money, and ruined my dining experience.“
“I love this restaurant literally one of the best go to spots to grab food, coffee, or simply something deliciously sweet to sit and enjoy in a great atmosphere. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and everything was done correct and right. Definitely will come here as much as i can. Thank you for everyone here.“
“We booked the back room for a company dinner for about ~7 people and it was FANTASTIC. They were so easy to work with booking the space, the food was delicious, the service was great. It's an excellent, intimate space for small groups. Would highly, highly recommend!“
“Walked through Central Park to get to this location. The food was absolutely delicious and the servers were very nice and attentive. I was worried about going at a busy time of the day but we sat and ate and our food came out in very good time. I got the mint leaf tea and it tastes like mint leaf like they make it there, so I would recommend if you like mint.“
“si and i started with a double shot of espresso with amaretto, while i had a cappuccino. we then exchanged about a dozen spoonfuls into one another’s cups (referred to as “making an abomination” repeatedly) and this created a delightful flavor balance of sweet kiki and roasty bouba. we ordered the “tuscany soup” and pesto penne. neither was stellar but once again the abomination proved greater than the sum of its parts. we found that dumping the soup onto the pasta provided a desperately needed wetness. our stomachs proved swift and we left in a glow. we did not respond to the man offering an invitation to the comedy club.“
“what an incredible experience. the place is packed all night long and serving the best squid ink pasta i’ve had. strachiatella and fig toast along with the mushrooms are essential too. the cheesecake for dessert hit home. fabulous wine list too. must go!“
