“My brutal procrastination finally caught up with me, so I’m only now getting around to posting something I should’ve written at the start of the year.

This is where we had our New Year's Eve dinner on Dec 31, 2025. The total came to nearly 3,000 USD for three people, which included three tasting menus, a pretty nice bottle of wine, an extra order of Hokkaido uni, which was absolutely delicious, and the tip.

The restaurant is tucked inside a supermarket, which was kind of interesting. The atmosphere and setting were pretty good, with an open kitchen, and the staff were polite as well.

As for the food, I’d say it was decent but nothing that special. The overall quality was fine, but it felt overly fussy and trying too hard. Flavor wise, it didn’t go for that clean, natural kind of profile. It leaned heavier and more muddled instead. Most of the dishes were a bit too rich and greasy for me, which just isn’t my thing. To be honest, the two Michelin stars felt a little overrated.

One other thing that annoyed me, and this is different from most other restaurants, was that the deposit you pay doesn’t get deducted automatically from the final bill. They charge you the full amount first, then refund the deposit about a week later. Since I used a Canadian credit card and the exchange rate was swinging pretty hard around New Year’s, I ended up losing a bit of money for no good reason.

So overall, it wasn’t a particularly enjoyable experience, though I wouldn’t say it was terrible either.

That’s about it. 😍😍😍“

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

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

“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.“

“What an absolute gem this place is. I can't decide which was better - the food or the service. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a Michelin star type of experience but without the pretentiousness. Cant wait to be back!“

“I had an absolutely unforgettable experience celebrating my 50th birthday. Every dish was a masterclass in flavor—beautifully composed, seamless, and executed with a level of expertise that quite literally melts in your mouth.

When my teenage daughter arrived late, the team handled it with such grace and precision that any concern simply disappeared. The entire evening remained fluid, thoughtful, and perfectly orchestrated.

Beyond the extraordinary cuisine, the service was exceptional. There is an intimacy here that is rare and deeply special—attentive without ever feeling intrusive. It truly felt like a complete sensory experience, where every detail was considered and every moment elevated.

I can confidently say this was one of the finest experiences I’ve had—perhaps the best in decades. I could not recommend it more highly and already look forward to returning.

A truly magical, delicious evening at Frevo. We will definitely come back, again and again and again….❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“GM Jill greeted me with a big welcoming smile!
Jill is the consummate professional leading her team by a strong example !
Juanita our waitress created an “indulging environment”! Her service was outstanding - particulary when she served me my vodka Martini - chilled to perfection - poured into my glass up to the rim of the glass. We ordered house specialty beef & tuna plates - prepared to perfection - begun with my favorite jumbo shrimp cocktail.
We look forward to returning.
Bonnie from Manhattan.“

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. You can truly appreciate the creativity, skill, and attention to detail that Chef Chen brings to each course. Every bite was memorable, and we enjoyed the meal immensely. Some of the dishes reminded me of the dishes I had at Eleven Madison. My favorite was the crab noodles and the scallop dumplings. A well-deserved reputation and a restaurant I would happily return to. Highly recommended!“

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

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

“If you haven’t dined at Estiatorio Milos, you are genuinely missing out. I ordered the sashimi platter, oysters, and the bone-in filet. Everything was delicious and incredibly fresh. The menu has something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for seafood or a solid cut of meat.

The service matches the quality of the food, attentive and welcoming from the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of dining experience that reminds you what hospitality is supposed to feel like.

Hudson Yards has no shortage of dining options, but Estiatorio Milos consistently delivers. Already planning my next visit.“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“The tasting menu is thoughtfully curated, showcasing creativity, precision, and seasonal ingredients. Each course is beautifully presented, and the flavors are well-balanced with a strong focus on technique and innovation. The attention to detail in every dish reflects a world-class culinary standard.“

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…? 😂“

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

“Such a beautiful place to dine and unwind! The atmosphere was amazing, but what truly made my experience unforgettable was Yenesis. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and gave the BEST recommendations — every suggestion was perfect. Her positive energy and genuine hospitality completely elevated my night at Capital. Definitely coming back and asking for Yenesis again!!“

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

“Excellent! Food was delicious! We will definitely be returning for a la carte. We did the tasting menu and it was a great introduction to what we can look forward to on a future visit. Sourdough tortilla was divine. The perfect tortilla. 1st bite was my favorite. Thanks for a great night and outstanding food. 100% recommend.“

“The Capital Grille Wall Street was the perfect setting for our Commencement Celebration for our daughter. They wrote a congratulation card, decorated the table and presented her with a complimentary dessert plate. Amy was FANTASTIC to work with. Thank you, Amy.“

“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“

The best salad was beautifully platted and tasted just as good. The drinks were very good. We had the eve elizyr non alch, Garden of Eden and 37th west.“

“Our favorite restaurant!! We go to the one in HardRock AC at least once a month or more. Fantastic service and consistently great food!!“

“I was thrilled to see ZZ’s Clam Bar and its space reopening.

The warm and welcoming atmosphere was perfect for a Friday night dinner. The attentive and courteous staff really created quite a personal experience.

The top-quality food, particularly the lobster, and drinks are worth the premium price on a somewhat limited menu. But the vibe and intimacy is what makes this place special. It’s a spot I plan to return to for the experience, not just the meal.“

“We travel to New York every year the week before Christmas. And this Restaurant we now be part of our trip EVERY YEAR! Amazing; Atmosphere Staff Food Wine If you don’t visit ... You are missing out!“

“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.“
