Fine Dining Restaurants in New York, NY

“Please disregard old reviews, the team has changed completely since a year or so and you have (for now) a 3 star restaurant disguised as a 2 star one. The menu we were offered today was a masterclass of flavors, textures, balance, originality and quality. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. I would fly to New York from Europe again just to dine here again.“

“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!“

“Excellent dining experience. It was nice to see diners appropriately dressed….no baseball caps, sneakers or sweats. Blazers are not required but I would recommend a dress for ladies and a collared shirt with nice pants for the men.
Tuna was good but the sardine toast was better.
Sweet crab and duck tortellini were great.
The osso buco was a little salty but the meat was tender and perfectly cooked.
The black bass was excellent.
Opt for the sticky toffee pudding. One dessert is more than enough for two people.
The service was top notch. He did a great job with the recommendations.“

“BEST MEAL I’ve had in my entire life! I don’t say that lightly because we’ve eaten in Michelin restaurants all over the world. I can honestly honestly say that was the most spectacular food I have ever had. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. I’d go here every night if I could!“

“Though we enjoyed our meal at HAGS, our experience wasn’t quite as sensational as some of the other reviewers.

We found the food a bit underwhelming, especially at this price point. Don’t get me wrong, it was good throughout and sometimes great. The beef entree and the pumpernickel brand, for example, were fantastically done.

But many of the remaining dishes were quite vegetable-forward and some of the flavors didn’t seem to make sense together. There’s nothing wrong with a lot of vegetable dishes, but taken together it felt like the meal was a little bare and missing some substance / finesse.

The service was awesome and the decor of the place is lovely and memorable. Unfortunately, those were the parts of the meal that left the most lasting impression (vs the meal itself). Also love that they include tip with the menu prices - more restaurants ought to do that.

Maybe we aren’t the target demographic, but I think there are better spots in NYC to drop $200 pp.“

“Saga is a 10 points experience from start to finish. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a loved one and share the experience with friends. You arrive, they meet you with a choice of two drinks, that then the waitress takes to the table.

We chose the seasonal tasting menu which goes through multiple courses. Both menus were great. They were able to accommodate a vegetarian menu as we called with time. Each of the dishes were absolutely delicious.

We also did the wine pairing, the discovery selection of wines. We tried so many incredible wines. It was totally worth.

Staff were on point every step of the way. They were super kind, accommodating and walked us through each step with kindness.

Totally recommend Saga.“

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

“Our evening at Eleven Madison Park was easily the best dining experience I've ever had, and probably the best I ever will. I knew when I booked the reservation that we were going to have a great meal. What I wasn't expecting was how incredible and thoughtful the staff would be. The service was so good it literally brought me to tears.

We were visiting New York and in our hubris we thought it'd be a great idea to take an 8 year old who hates vegetables to a fully plant based fine dining restaurant. They went out of their way to ensure our kid had some unique food that they would like, even going so far as to whip up a custom dish.

At the end of the night we were given a tour of the kitchen and there was a chef's hat for our kid. AND THEY MADE A TINY ONE FOR THEIR TOY TARANTULA!

It's unlikely I'll be back to New York, so I likely will never have another chance to dine here. But I'll definitely remember my visit for a long time“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“Very nice setting and good food!“

“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“

“It's wonderful. French and American fusion. I love the (Tasting Menu) part.“

“We had a nice experience here. My steak was very good, I really did enjoy it. My husband things his dish dish was also pleasant. At first our waiter was a bit stiff and stand offish but he opened up and was professional. The location is beautiful and so is the space. I wouldn’t make a special trip to go back here specifically but if I’m in the mall again, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. It’s quality service and food, expensive but it’s NYC.“

“Amazing ambience. The interior decor is beautiful and exceptional quality. The staff were friendly and service was quick and efficient. We loved the meals. They were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The only disappointing aspect was that the meal portions were quite small and there were limited sides to order from - no vegetables or variety. But a great experience and we would definitely return!“

“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.“

“peking duck spring rolls appetizer, yummers! lobster shrimp scampi entre, delicious! desserts, order one of each and share, go for it! life is short my friends, live the - (dash) - enjoy the journey :-)“

“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!!“

“Loved everything about our evening at Frevo. It felt like an experience as much as dinner. The service was excellent, the food fantastic, and the vibe was downright sexy. I will be dreaming of the carrot course and the Comte with honey ice cream. Both literally made my eyes roll to the back of my head in the best of ways and were some of the best things I have ever eaten.“

“Truly amazing experience! We come to New York around Christmas for weekend every year and every year we try a new place. This by far is the best experience we’ve had. Wonderful flavors, great courteous service. My taste buds were in ecstatic state for the rest of the night! The way each course flavors are opening in mouth..just unbelievable!“

“The food was very tasty, the atmosphere and ambience of the meal was great, especially the service was excellent and will be experienced again next time.“

“Had a confirmed reservation for lunch at 1pm. Still had to wait over 10 minutes to be seated. Should have been able to be seated right away. Had a train to catch post-lunch and arrived at station at exact time train scheduled to leave. Only made it because it was delayed 12 minutes. A reminder that every minute counts when you have a business lunch and travel. I've never had a problem at Capital Grille in many other locations in both NYC and other cities. This location needs to do a better job at seating guests with reservations on time.“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

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

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“It’s just the most wonderful place ever. My favorite NYC restaurant. I love everything about it.“

“We had an exquisite Italian meal at El Molino. My wife had Pollo Parmesano though, and it was the best presentation of this meal she has ever had... And she orders it at many many restaurants. Our waiter was very knowledgeable. We would return here many times.“

“Un très bon restaurant japonais avec des produits frais. Personnel en tenu typique, je le recommande !“

“Excellent dinner and the best ricotta cheese cake ever“

“Jesus leal thank you so much for the unforgettable dining experience you gave us today the wine was delicious the meatball and taco sushi were out of this world and our ribeye cooked to perfection melted in my mouth the green beans and macaroni and cheese were a delicacy and we ended up in love with the sundae but more thank you for your hospitality dear Jesus that is something we will never forget and I promise you on my next visit to New York to eat again at Palladinos the best steakhouse in New York“

“Incredible ambiance. Our server William delivered top-notch service, felt like a Michelin dining experience. Interestingly, growing up eating Quanjude, the experience isn’t typically the high-end western style service you’d receive here, and I felt incredibly pampered!

Duck soup + Peking Duck are must orders (you get to take the duck bones home, which I did. there were so much meat still attached) Okra was refreshing and flavorful. The sweet and sour shrimp was also a hit for us!“

“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“

“I have been coming here for breakfast for over 15 years. It's a beautiful experience in the middle of NYC. You feel like you are at a resort. The food, the service and ambiance always delight. Milton is a treasure. He provides excellent, attentive service every step of the way. Highly recommend!“
