New American Restaurants in New York, NY

“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.“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Nudibranch was incredible. Food, cocktails, vibes and service were all genuinely 10/10. The crab tteokbokki was one of the best dishes we had all trip.

The whole team was so warm and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about the overall experience. A very special spot. Can’t wait to come back.“

“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.😍“

“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.“

“When in NYC, we always make time to stop in at this beautiful little bar/restaurant for amazing caviar and drinks. Today's experience was no different. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. The caviar is always fresh and well presented. The drinks are always delicious.
We would definitely recommend this establishment...we plan on returning ourselves.“

“If I could rate the service 10 stars I would. Victoria was the absolute BEST waitress I’ve ever had at a bottomless brunch experience. She consistently checked in on us, and I truly had the best birthday ever with 10 of my closest friends. Despite being a larger group, we felt cared for and attended to. It was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better day because of Victoria“

“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.“

“What an incredible brunch experience.
The prix fixe brunch menu was absolutely fantastic. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The real standout - the bloody marys. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best any of us have ever had. Whatever they're doing with their recipe, it's perfection. And they had ~5 to choose from.
What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. One of our friends was running quite late, which we knew would impact their kitchen turnover, but the staff was incredibly gracious and accommodating about it. They made us feel welcome rather than rushed, which speaks volumes about their hospitality.
From the food to the drinks to the genuinely kind service, Noortwyck delivered on every level. This is the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an outstanding brunch spot!“

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

“Ayza is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm and ideal for a fun evening with friends. The service was welcoming from start to finish and our server Christina was friendly and attentive! I'll definitely be coming back, especially for another Chocolate Raspberry Martini. Highly recommended!“

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

“Absolutely loved this place! It's classic NYC vibes and fits so well. The food was outstanding and for as hard as reservation were to get it was not overly expensive on the food side! Drinks were up there but nothing surprising for the city.
Absolutely get the burger and make sure you get the peprcorn sauce with it!“

“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.“

“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“

“I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken,cole slaw and biscuits.Overall the food was ok.The chicken wasn't the juiciest and didn't have much flavor.The coating was fried dark but little to no flavor.
The biscuits were ok but I didn't see option for butter or honey.The slaw was basic.“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

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

“a great experience . high quality food“

“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!“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“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!“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

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

“Our party of 4 has thoroughly enjoyed our tasting menu. Our waiter was super attentive to our needs, switching dishes to accommodate vegetarian and other requests. Dishes were timed perfectly as well as the wine pairing. The space is beautiful with very high ceiling. Only wish the table next to me could be a little more considerate. One guy had this sudden jarring guffaw that startled me a few times since he was sitting next to me.“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

“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“

“First time here. We wanted something light to eat and it did not disappoint. The ambience is nice and relaxing, the service - top notch. Never ran out of a carafe of water. We had the chips - fresh and warm (a little salt to it would have made them perfect but again- they were great) queso no complaints.

Shrimp tacos and al pastor tacos. We were amazed with the amount of filling in all of them. Maybe the pineapple in the Al pastor could have been diced instead of one big piece. - just nitpicking here. We would come back again for sure. Pineapple smash was the drink and it was very tasty“

“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.“

“The produce served here was bursting with flavor. In fact, the vegetables were some of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. The meal wasn’t particularly protein-forward, however the chicken and fish received the same level of attention and execution and were equally delicious. Already anticipating my next visit!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

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

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

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

““Had a great experience at Lindens Restaurant. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Service was quick, and everything was presented beautifully. Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cozy atmosphere with good food, wine, and service. Chloe was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and all of her recommendations were spot on. Every dish and wine we tried was outstanding. Highly recommend for a warm and enjoyable dining experience.“

“An honest, delicious, uber friendly local joint - which makes you happy you walked in and even happier that you are eating such good food and amazing cocktails in a non- rushed way. How wonderful to have a place like this in NYC! (And lots of veggie options too!)“

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
