One if by Land, Two if by Sea

Had a great experience here, and our server Michael Shu really made the night special. He was super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and had great timing throughout the meal. You could tell he really cared about making sure everything went smoothly.

It’s not every day you get service that feels both professional and genuinely warm — Michael nailed it.

My husband and I went back for our anniversary. We had one of our first dates here 30+ years ago. Food, service and atmosphere still terrific! We had the chef’s menu which was a perfect tasting of their best dishes. You cannot eat here without having the beef Wellington!

Mandatory three course fixed $$$ menu was unpleasant surprise. It’s a money trap. You obligated to pay for three dishes minimum.

Had such a nice time here for my birthday!
Perfect for a dinner date or special occasion ❣️Our server Michael was 10/10 so sweet and knowledgeable!

Restaurant is racist against Asians (literally, confirmed by NYC gov and settled out of court). Food is overpriced and mid quality. Whole restaurant is sole focused on “romantic vibes” but the core is falling apart and it is plain to see. Please go somewhere else

I understand why so many people propose here- it’s so beautiful and the food is awesome. If I come back, it’ll be for a very special occasion.

My husband celebrated my birthday at One if by Land, Two if by Sea, and it felt like discovering a secret tucked away in the heart of New York.

The location itself is so mysterious — hidden down a quiet cobblestone street, behind a beautiful old facade that feels like a portal to another world. Inside, the candlelight, soft piano music, and garden views created a setting that was intimate, elegant, and absolutely timeless.

We were seated at the perfect corner table near the piano bar. To my left, a beautiful garden view framed the evening with even more charm. It felt so private and romantic — as if the city had disappeared for a night, just for us.

The food was exquisite. Every dish was gorgeous and full of flavor. The Beef Wellington was divine — truly one of the best we’ve ever had. And the champagne? Effortlessly luxurious and so celebratory.

The service was flawless, warm, and genuinely thoughtful. They made my birthday feel incredibly special, with every detail handled with care.

A magical evening in a place that feels hidden, timeless, and full of love. Truly one of the most romantic dining experiences in the city — or anywhere🤍🤍🤍

Such an incredible evening at an incredible restaurant! The staff, atmosphere, food, wine and cocktails are all perfection. Our waiter Michael was so kind and attentive to us. He even went above and beyond to give us a little tour of some of the other spaces in the venue. Kirk was so knowledgeable with the wine pairing which made the whole experience extra special and Nicky was delivering the best bread we’ve ever had with a smile on his face. We felt so welcomed and warm at this restaurant. Absolutely recommend. We can’t wait to go back!!

If I could give 10 stars I would happily do so. The restaurant it’s top notch. They have a beautiful bar area with seating for dining if you like. The restaurant lighting is perfect to set a romantic mood with a pianist playing entertaining music. We are from their price fixe menu and it was an excellent meal. For starters we had the Foie Gras and the tempura squash blossom. The tempura squash blossom was stuffed with lobster and crab meat. It was so good. For our entrees I had the beef Wellington and my girlfriend had the duck. Both were cooked perfectly and the playing was perfect. An excellent meal. To end our dinner the dessert course cosiste of cremé brûlée, and tiramisu. The tiramisu was served in a way I have never had it before. It was covered by a chocolate top and the filling was so velvety smooth. So Good!!! The waiter was excellent, offering suggestions and well versed with the menu. They took care of all our dining needs. We highly recommend this place.

Visited during the week and this young dude was blocking the door... turns out it was the GM. Only figured out later after he was rude to other guests and they decided to leave because of his behavior. Overheard the reason the GM was blocking the door... personal call. Use to come here and spend at least $1k a year... sadly won't be returning at least during the week when that GM is working.
