Great food and amazing staff. The schnitzel was fantastic as was the trout. All the appetizers were amazing too.

Decent brunch experience. Scrambled eggs > eggs in hollandaise. Both around $20ish. Bar was pretty tho.

This restaurant blew me away, which I was not expecting. Everything about it was magnificent. Plus top end food and service without any stuffiness. Plus they had a wonderful restaurant week menu on top of a legitimate strawberry shortcake. Will definitely go again and take friends. What a place!

Fancy space, delicious food, although the restaurant week menu was not worth it in my opinion. You'd better off getting an entrey from their regular menu.

I chose this restaurant for my birthday celebration after seeing it featured on the New York Times’ 100 Best Restaurants list. I spent time reviewing its photos, menu, and guest feedback, and arrived with genuine excitement to experience its French and Viennese culinary offerings.
Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted. The receptionist was gracious and welcoming, and I felt reassured that I’d made a promising choice. Unfortunately, the experience that followed didn’t live up to the anticipation.
The food was fine, but lacked the magic I’d hoped for. The menu felt disjointed. Two versions were presented: one for Restaurant Week and one for standard dining. The Restaurant Week menu advertised a three-course meal for $60, yet several dishes carried additional charges. This felt misleading, and I believe clearer communication would have helped maintain trust and transparency.
The protein options were limited and oddly paired. Rather than offering a harmonious flow, the combinations felt abrupt and mismatched. The dishes themselves lacked warmth or sensuality. There was a certain austerity to the presentation and flavor that left the experience feeling more functional than celebratory.
The atmosphere was also quite cold—physically and emotionally. It gave the impression of a space designed for quick turnover rather than lingering enjoyment. For a restaurant that encourages semi-casual attire and leisurely dining, the chill in the room made it difficult to relax or savor the meal.
At the end of the evening, the bill was surprisingly high for what was meant to be a fixed-price menu. Charges for bread and an exorbitant cost for a simple cup of tea felt excessive and out of step with the spirit of hospitality.
My companion also felt uncomfortable, as it seemed the waitstaff were visibly displeased about not receiving a tip. But a padded bill, somewhat forceful service, impatience, and the disingenuous presentation of options don’t inspire generosity, they erode it. By the end, the experience felt less like dining and more like being cornered. It was, sadly, a predatory feeling.
While I appreciate the effort and the initial welcome, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on my experience. I also question its placement on the NYT 100 Best list, as the evening lacked the cohesion, generosity, and culinary delight that such recognition implies.

The grilled wild mushroom dish is exquisite. I enjoyed the ambiance as well.

Not worth the price of “restaurant week”. Not only the main dish I wanted was sold out but the dessert was lame. It says plum with creme brûlée and there were barely slices. (I could not get the strudel as I am allergic to hazelnuts and they were inside the pastry. I couldn’t get the mousse as there was rum and I can’t have alcohol) loved the beets as the first course. Chicken was tende but not worth $60. Service was good. Way too much AC.

We were there for brunch. All was generally ok but our experience was tarnished by the apple strudel taking 25 minutes to come out after they cleared our plates (the other courses took a normal amount of time). It added to our frustration that we had already placed the order for dessert at the start of the meal and they said they would bring it out once we were done with our mains. They did apologize around the 20 minute mark, but we were given no explanation of whether this is normal for this particular dessert or if something was up in the kitchen - be aware in case you want to order this and like me don’t think it’s normal to wait nearly half an hour for dessert. Otherwise the server was nice. The food itself was good, but I wasn’t blown away by anything and have had better food, with a better experience, elsewhere. Nothing really makes me want to come back.

Have eaten here several times for different meals. Amazing service, delicious food and great drinks
Terrible super tall receptionist in front with poor judgment. The whole restaurant is empty (wake up bud it’s summer in the city) yet for a party of two his offer to seat is a high traffic area, second one next one next to leak, told him I’ll point you to on my way out that this place will be empty and a booth that I asked for will still be empty, and guess what? it was (except for a group of his friends who came). Shrugs his shoulder and says didn’t know you would be done, I said I told you but you weren’t listening. Food was decent. Too bad
