New American Restaurants in New York, NY

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“The experience was spectacular start to finish. Greeted nicely and service throughout was really excellent; paced well, not rushed or intrusive at all. really lovely. Hannah was great! We ordered from the restaurant week menu and a couple of other wise dishes (kimchi, bread and nori butter, patatas bravas). Of these the bread and butter was the least interesting, kimchi and patatas bravas were excellent. Starters -- frogs legs and hamachi, both amazing, cooked perfectly. Small plates -- soba a(with uni supplement) and celery salad, both excellent, soba was our favorite of the two. Salad was very fresh and nice. Entress, hangar steak and chicken sandwich. Steak in particualr outstanding -- cooked perfectly great sauce. Chicken sandwich is big and delicious Dessert -funfetti cake and panna cotta, both excellent. Drinks -- love the selections here boith zero proof and the wine/beer/cocktail options. Passion fruit marg and balsamic negroni excellent; sparkling hibiscus was really good and not to sweet. And the Cava by the glas very nice. The collab with brooklyn cider was a nice Basque style cider that paired nicely with the food. Overall, excellent and will be back!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“The food and service were impeccable.😍“

“This is the most incredible restaurant for Caviar connoisseurs. 5 star service from the second you step out of your car they’re holding the door for you, presentation, all the way up until the very end.
The customer service from every single employee blew me away, I can’t recommend Caviar Russe enough! ⭐️“

“Great food and wonderful people that work there. Kind and friendly“

“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“I recently visited this establishment and found the overall experience to be quite satisfying. The atmosphere was well-maintained and the service was efficient, contributing to a pleasant and productive visit. I would recommend it for those seeking a reliable and straightforward experience“

“Wonderful dinner from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Ramos, who was attentive, affable, and awesome. We started with the tots & caviar, which was like McDonald hash browns on steroids and the tuna cannolis (also on the smaller side but undeniably delicious). We got the duck ravioli which had a great balance of umami and acidity (the ravioli itself was cooked to perfection). We also were lucky enough to finesse the off menu truffle burger, which is easily an S tier burger (same level as lions bar and better than a PJ Clark’s - steakhouse style, not smashed) Fries were unreal. The dirty Martin’s (w/blue cheese olives) were also perfection and the Cali cab to wash it all down was equally delectable. 10/10. Great food, ambiance, and service. Will be back.“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“We sat at the bar and the service was exceptional (Eric and Bryant - thank you!). We had the Caesar salad, mushroom flatbread with truffle and the vegan meatballs - which were so tasty with pickled onions and pickles and tiny potatoes, the sauce was so good!“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Amazing place. Wine. Chocolate. Food. gf designated!!! Great atmosphere. And the service is WONDERFUL!!!! (shout out to Lex, our fantastic server who es so friendly helpful and fun). Highly recommend. You will enjoy!!! 🐈‍⬛💕“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“We had an excellent pre-theatre dinner for eleven. Colorful decor, fun cocktails, great apps to share and delicious entrees. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were able to bring a birthday cake from home to celebrate the occasion. And we got out in plenty of time for our 8pm show! We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“The food was good. We did order the very basic things like the burger and steak with fries. We also tried the souffle for dessert. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was really worth the price. When this was a neighborhood spot and the prices matched (if that was ever the case), I could see it making a lot more sense. But at these prices, I don't think it maths. Nothing wrong with the food, but also not the best of anything I've ever had.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“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.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Have been here twice in the laps of a year apart and both times consistently good and consistent in flavor, service is perfect. You don’t feel rushed, it’s genuine and they are always keeping an eye on you to make sure you are good. Food is unique but recognizable which is something not a lot of places have. 10/10“

“Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York offers a warm, thoughtfully curated dining experience that feels both elevated and approachable. The menu highlights seasonal, farm-driven ingredients prepared with care and creativity. I tried several dishes, each showcasing fresh flavors and clean, balanced execution. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it perfect for a shared meal with friends or family. Attentive service and a strong focus on quality make it a place I’d happily return to.“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“A friend and I dined here over the weekend while visiting the city from WV. I wish I could remember our waiters name because he was an absolute gem. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere and the service. My friend had the pork steak special and I had the trumpet mushrooms. Both were great and if I ever find myself back in the neighborhood I would absolutely visit again.“

“Stumbled into this place this afternoon and had easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I can’t believe how delish the chicken schnitzel was and I’ve walked by this place so many times. Such a cute spot and the food really was that good.“

“Our lunch was delicious! Although it was not a nice day we were able to eat outdoors. They do have a heater, which made it very comfortable. Good service, too!“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“One White Street is simply one of the most chic night outs one could ask for. A subtle yet glamorous atmosphere lends way to one of the most fabulous gastronomic journey you will ever embark upon. Very accommodating to a gluten free diet!!!

Big thanks to our server Sam, for their knowledge, and fine dining finesse!

We started with the Rigor Hill Farm Salad, which stars radicchio, its bitter taste uplifted with the house made blood orange vin, shaved fennel, and honey goat Gouda. A definite must have for your table.

Up next was the tamari glazed mushrooms. Earthy and delicately seasoned. The flavors used really complimented the umami rich mushroom.

For our next round we ordered the 1WS burger. A mouthwatering premium meat burger with house made pickles and bun. Truly a showstopper.

Our sides included: an order of crispy potatoes, which had such a lovely texture, the pickled garlic scapes really added an extra wow factor; and the celery root and leek gratin, which was so wholesome and really celebrated both of the vegetables natural flavors without adding too much.

For dessert we were treated to a gluten free chocolate cake which was to die for, and separately a horchata ice cream served with jam. An absolutely stellar way to end the dinner.

Overall it was such an amazing experience I’m already planning on going back with my whole family. The entire team at 1WS is one of the best and most accommodating I’ve experienced in the entire city. Thank you for giving me and my sister an incredible night!!!“

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

“Food amazing. Great atmosphere. Staff polite and very professional. Tiffany the manager is brilliant.“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“Best food and awesome atmosphere! 🍷Most definitely one of the best Michelin restaurants ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went there during the Restaurant Week. The menu was much better compared to some other restaurants we went to. The hostess was cheerful and pleasant One tall male server was not good at all- first, he tried to take my plate despite there was still food left and the utensils were placed to show that I was still working on it. Doesn’t he even know what that mean? He apologized, and later came to ask if we needed more bread. We said no, but I still had a big chunk of bread on my plate. We only said we didn't need another piece of bread. But he took away everything including the butter. He needs to be trained and know what he can do and can’t while customers are still eating. Taking plates away no matter what is not his only job! He was rude.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at Hoexter's. Was looking for the best dirty martini I could find and Hoexter's is definitely a top contender. We got seated at probably one of the not as comfortable tables yet the experience was still 10/10. We order the caesar salad, shrimp cocktail, and some bread for the table as we were just looking for something light that night. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive and the dim lit vibes were classy, yet still welcoming. At the very end they even give you a cute little notebook to sign next to others who have dined there as well. Definitely looking forward to coming back and having a full dinner here!“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“This was an early date night dinner for my wife and I. The restaurant is ultra chic without pretension. It has great views and an ultra stylish lounge like setting. The service is "real" and prompt.The food is pretty and delicious. Great mocktails too. Lovely place and great vibe.“

“Our server helped us focus our choices because everything appealed. We ordered the topneck clams, beef tartare, stuffed olives and the iberico. The tartare and pork were the stand-outs: the kimchi romesco on the pork was just brilliant and added a great acidic lift to the richness of the meat. And the vibe is so chill, so laid back in the best possible way. Highly recommend and will return.“

“Believe the hype!!!! Everything was great. Watermelon margarita was good. Food was amazing. I had the herb lamp chops starter.....to die for. The meal i had oxtails, collard and yams......music was a vibe. Loved it!! Highly recommend and would return.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“We came with a friend from the wine industry who raved about Chambers - and she was right, what an amazing dinner and WINE SERVICE!!! Pascaline was so kind to us and gave us a lot of attention, I learned a lot and am still buzzed from the experience. I can't wait to go back!“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“Beautifully light, excellent music, not too loud. The food was great and very fresh. The drink menu looked fun, although we didn't end up drinking. Kyle, the host, was one of the highlights. He was so kind, thoughtful, energetic, and even walked back to check in on us once we started eating“
