Fine Dining Restaurants in New York, NY

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“The food is delicious😊“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“First time dining at a two star Michelin restaurant and loved it starting from the fun entrance to the very last course. Dishes were unique and had good flow from one course to the next. The standard wine pairing was a beautiful accompaniment to the flavours of each dish. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making the night truly memorable.“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Lovey fine dining experience with my fiancé. We love coming here when we travel to NYC!“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“This was my second omakase experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and every bite was perfect. The chef was warm, kind, and engaging, making the experience not only delicious but also genuinely happy and memorable.“

“Frevo offers an unforgettable dining experience with truly unique combinations of ingredients that are both inventive and delicious. The wine pairings are beautifully selected, enhancing the meal without overpowering it. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the service is warm and attentive, making the whole evening feel truly special!“

“The food was honestly amazing - so, so delicious. The only thing I’d change is the music, just because it didn’t really match the vibe, but that’s totally my own opinion. Everything we tried was great, and the service was really good too. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Beautiful, classy and comfortable space. Bread, oysters, duck tortellini and desserts were standouts. Excellent wine list. One constructive critism would be to tighten service just a tad to elevate to elite level. My oysters and tortellini came out at the same time, maybe that is correct but I would rsther them spaced. One of our drinks was forgotten, and a touch slow with the wine bottle pours as it wasn't at our table to do ourselves. Great evening overall. Relaxed and not rushed.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, good cocktails and yummy food!“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Beautiful, delicious meal. Excellent service and views. Perfect for a special celebration or just perfect for celebrating life.“

“I have to admit, every dish here is absolutely exquisite.“

“The food and service at HAGS was flawless. The various dishes were delicious and creative. There was perfect timing between the courses. Everything was done with genuine love.

It’s obvious that a tremendous amount of thought and care went into everything — from the menu — to the decor — to the service.

There’s an amazing vegan and omnivore menu. The vegan cheeses and butters are made in-house — and taste incredible.

The kitchen staff accommodated my dietary restrictions — and added a creative flair.

It’s a really cute, queer-owned restaurant. It’s a tiny spot — but everything is very well organized. Everyone feels welcomed, with the full complexity of their identities.

HAGS was perfect in every way. I highly recommend it. 5/5 stars.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Thanks to Laura we had a great booth that was also private and my friends coming from Europe really enjoyed and absolutely loved the food. Petrit is amazing and it is always a pleasure when he caters to my table. Thank you!!!! Another reason why I'm a loyal customer.“

“A masterclass in precision—every dish feels deeply personal rather than performative. Each dish balances restraint and intensity: umami hums beneath bright acids and thoughtful textures, making even familiar ingredients feel newly intelligent. It’s the rare Manhattan restaurant that’s both soulful and exacting, a place you crave not for spectacle, but for how completely it understands flavor. Wonderful people leading the way.“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“Absolutely one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in my 70+ years of life. The food was exquisite. The wait staff spectacular, non-intrusive but yet able to convey everything on the menu with clarity, the atmosphere was genteel, the music, just perfect, relaxing, and elegant. The surprises included in the menu were delightful.“

“Had an outstanding dining experience at Estiatorio Milos Hudson Yards! Everything from the presentation to the flavors was absolutely top-tier — the seafood was incredibly fresh and prepared perfectly. The atmosphere felt elegant yet welcoming, making it perfect for a special night out. What truly made the visit exceptional was the staff: they were attentive, professional, and genuinely warm throughout the entire meal. Their hospitality elevated the whole experience. I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to return!“

The food was some of the best I have had, as someone who has done a great deal of the tasting menus in NYC, some multiple times. It rivaled Le Bernadin in the quality and creativity of seafood preparation. Some of the sauces were exquisite, especially the wagyu course which honestly I think should replace the quail. The mole was really special. My personal favorite courses were all the early ones. I thought the kamasu flavors were incredibly well balanced and the blue fin tuna Monaka was spectacularly beautiful and a little triumph in two bites. I loved the play on fish and chips and the sea urchin of course was one of the best things I have ever tasted. I think it could become iconic in the same way Ripert’s tuna tartare over foie gras is.
I have a few notes on ways to improve.
First of all, I think if you are doing a wine tasting that costs so much extra, the first three courses should have at least two different wines. We ran out of wine before the blue fin tuna, not realizing the glass for was two complete courses, a minor complaint. And if you have done the wine pairing, I would appreciate the names of the wines along with the courses when you are given the printed menu at the end. Again, just little gripes but these things matter to your guests. The wine pairings were lovely and I especially liked the two sakes. If you are paying extra for the Wagyu and the wine pairing, the Wagyu should come with that Bordeaux at no additional cost.

I wish that fewer supplements were offered. I think truffle shavings and the extra course are fine. But it’s a little overwhelming to be offered 5 supplements at the beginning of the meal and then have to decide where to spend more money.
While all the staff was incredibly thoughtful and kind I did find some of them to be somewhat robotic at times. Our head waiter must have said three times within the first 90 seconds the same phrase something along the lines of “Thank you for choosing to celebrate with us.” I just got the impression that maybe he was a little tired and running through the motions. And I understand that they have a tough job keeping track of all the guests and who is there for what reason. But at the end they brought us a small cake that said Happy Birthday, while we were there for our anniversary (which the card at our table said). It was totally fine and my husband and I laughed it off and wished each other happy birthday. But small details like that should definitely not be ignored when they go wrong. I thought the space itself lacked intimacy to be honest, but didn’t mind that so much.
I personally was completely underwhelmed by the ice cream soufflé. It was all style over substance. I preferred the palette cleanser for taste. It might be just my personal taste but I want ice cream to be thick, custardy and not icy and taste mostly like air…? 😂“

“I haven't been there in quite a while and it was so great to see that everything is still FABULOUS there ... from the warm greetings you get when you walk in, to the wonderful atmosphere as you enter the dining room, to the quiet pleasantness of the servers, to the absolutely most delicious food! I certainly won't stay away so long next time!“

“It’s an amazing experience. So glad I chose to dine here.“

“The Capital Grille was a grand experience. The food, the service, and the ambience were all sublime. It was my birthday when I visited and they made it very special for me and the person I shared a meal with. I will definitely be coming back to try the eclectic menu and different steak cuts!“

“Great experience. Presentation 4/5. Server quality varied, some were great at presenting the dishes for the tasting menu, but some were not event intellible. Just saying, each dish had such a rich background and it would be great that we could catch call. Special thanks to Alex for the night!“

“excellent food, impeccable service, delicious cocktails and a wonderful dining experience“

“Amazing place! The team is great! Hopefully we will be back for Thanksgiving!“

“Went here with a group and had a lovely experience. Server had great recommendations from wine to food and after dinner drinks. We were able to enjoy a decent amount of the menu sharing with the table and the food was delicious. Personal favorite was the caviar pasta.“

“Brilliant. I have eaten at most of the high end restaurants in Manhattan for over 55 years. This is the top of the cake. You will only have a great experience every time. Everything about this eatery is 5 star and only gets more fabulous each time you go.
Ask for Sam the waiter, doesn't get any better“

“Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL“

“Amazing ambience and service! Food was excellent and my fav was Chicken Satay, Shrimp Satay, Wonton Soup, Dumplings, Duck Salad, Spicy Velvet Chicken and Black Prawns….loved those dishes!!“

“La vista es espectacular!!“

“The atmosphere was spot on and the food had exceeded our expectations and the service was excellent.“

“Eating at the four seasons is obviously an expensive endeavor but it's a beautiful setting, we were there at Christmas time so we had a clear view of the beautiful tall Christmas tree in the foyer and our breakfast was delicious. My husband said it was the best omelette he had eaten ever in his life. I had the New York breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. The staff was wonderful.“

“My compliments to the Chef and the entire staff. Beginning with the warm reception we received, there was excellent and attentive service and a wonderfully presented lunch. What more could you possibly ask for but a friendly, positive and professional waiter and tasty food? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this fine establishment within this beautiful and iconic hotel.“
