The only problem with this place is I do not go often enough. The food is consistency excellent. They serve creative takes on classic dishes that preserve and elevate. Their martini nights are a blast and, even though it is in a hotel, the team makes locals feel welcome and appreciated.

My friend and I stopped by for a weekend brunch recently - we didn't have a reservation but there were plenty of tables open for us. (Seems they might be more of a dinner place). The ambiance is very nice - not too loud - and the decor feels very casually elegant.
We started with a duck liver parfait. The brioche was really delicious - light, fluffy, and buttery, and it paired wonderfully with the richer and savoury flavours of the duck. I do wish they gave a bit more bread, the parfait was really delicious, but a little too heavy to eat just by itself, and the ratio of duck to bread was a little skewed (in our opinion) haha.
We also ordered the Ei im Glass - also fantastic, although the pedant in me wants to note that there were technically two eggs. Anyways, the poached eggs were cooked perfectly with a deliciously runny yolk, and the Hollandaise was really excellent. I'd definitely recommend this, it was a really authentic representation of a classic Viennese dish.
The schnitzel was good, but didn't shine as much. I think the biggest flaw was the breading, which felt a bit light and airy. The pork itself was tasty, and I really, really adored the potato salad, which was cooked to a perfect tenderness and paired with a lovely creamy sauce.
Finally we shared the apple strudel. The apple flavour was really fresh and paired nicely with the cinnamon, but I did feel that the pastry was a little bit soggier than I would have liked -- I fear it didn't quite have that classic flakiness.
In any case, it was a super yummy meal all around, and price point was honestly quite reasonable (and better than I expected given the quality of food). I'd be keen to come back to give their dinner menu a try!

I had a great time at Koloman. The food and service were outstanding, and our waiter kept checking in to ensure we were all right. The chicken was the highlight, though. It tasted like a family recipe. Overall, it was a great experience.

My friend and I were at Koloman's. She follows the Chef, Markus, so it was fun. The atmosphere, the service, and the food all came together as a delicious and wonderful experience. I went back 3 weeks later to have the Doral and apple strudel.....🍷🥰
One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. The food was excellent, well balanced, and properly portioned. Service was impeccable. 10/10 would highly recommend.

I had a great time dining at Koloman. It was a nice atmosphere and the service was excellent. Wait staff were very friendly and kind.
It was restaurant week and there were two menus for dinner, a RW one and their main menu. It was nice that one could do the three course RW option, and another person could do a la carte on the regular menu. We preferred the options on the main menu and shared table bread, two appetizers, two entrees and a dessert which we found was enough food for two, although an extra dish wouldn’t have been bad either. It seems like they occasionally change up the menu, there was no Salmon en Croute that other reviewers raved about, which we had wanted to try.
For food, we started with the Gougeres, a cheesy bread with a mild horseradish butter spread on the side which was very nice. It reminded me of the Brazilian steakhouse cheese bread but deeper savory flavors. It came in 3 pieces for the table, not pictured. For apps, we got the Duck Liver Parfait which the waitress kindly let us know was to be whipped and spread on a brioche toast. Very rich and flavorful. We also shared the Cheese Soufflé which had strong savory flavors too. Overall great flavors but a touch salty and I found myself reaching for water. For mains, we had the Schnitzel Viennoise and the Duck Breast. The roasted duck breast was the dish of the night and cooked very well, and I highly recommend it. Schnitzel was decent, it was a flattened veal, breaded and fried, but I probably wouldn’t order it again because at the end of the day, it just reminded me of a breaded chicken cutlet with some acidic potato side salad. Dessert was great, we shared the Savarin au Rhum, which was a rum soaked cake covered in intricate apple slices with a vanilla bean chantilly cream.
Restrooms require a card key from the front staff, and the restrooms are located next door at the hotel’s basement. A tiny bit inconvenient but I can respect the real estate limitations in NYC.
Overall a great experience both in terms of food and service. Bill runs you about $100 per person. I would reorder mostly everything if I were to return.
Most forgettable meal in every way except the price. Poor service, unimpressive food, and bad vibes. Unless you’re taking a client you hate for drinks - skip it. Note: we went during restaurant week, but didn’t have the pre fix menu - didn’t make it any better.

The soufflés here, both cheese and dessert, are excellent. Their dessert souffle is in Austrian style, vanilla with berry compote, and it evokes so much nostalgia for my time living in Austria.

My mother and i visited the restaurant a few days ago to enjoy restaurant week dinner and regular menu.
For appetizers we shared beet salad, tuna carpaccio and duck liver parfait. The combination was perfect together with softness of tuna, crunch from crispy quinoa and slightly crunchy texture of beets. Also saltiness and richness of tuna was perfectly balanced with beets. Herb sauce was adding a delicate touch to the whole combination.
My mother was blown away by duck liver parfait. She actually named Koloman’s duck liver parfait as one of the best dishes she’d had in New York! She liked the combination of soft and creamy duck with sweet kracher gelée.
With our food my mother was getting wine - Champagne, Riesling and then it was red wine le Medoc de Cos. I tried all of them - Champagne was very light, crisp and refreshing, Riesling was light and slightly fruity with peach tones. Red wine had a lot of tannins, had a full body, it was my mother’s favorite wine.
I was getting cocktails. My first one was Apricot sour served up, second one was Emma Goldman. Apricot sour was perfectly balanced, airy and light, it was beautifully decorated. My mother is not into cocktails but she enjoyed it a lot! Emma Goldman had that beautiful presentation with smoke. The flavor profile was amazing! I am not really a whisky person, more of a curious soul who likes trying new things, i loved the cocktail and the glass it was served in. My mother liked the cocktail as well as the spirits created a great flavor profile.
For entrees we chose duck from regular menu and steak from the restaurant week. Great textures. Sauces that duck was served with were as flavorful and colorful as you can imagine. We liked butter with herbs that was placed over steak - a perfect accompaniment to the dish. Fries were perfection!
For dessert we got Savarin au Rhum and strudel. I loved how soaked and full of flavor Savarin was and the crispiness of strudel served with a scoop of delicious ice cream. My mom tried my dessert but focused on Strudel. We were in Austria and tried a lot of Strudels there and she was really brought to our fun travel memories with this exceptional dessert.
