One if by Land, Two if by Sea

If you are celebrating an anniversary and want to see your love in the most intimate and romantic lighting in NYC, take her here. I asked for a window table on my reservation and it was incredible. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious and comes to your table which such a beautiful presentation. Defentely a pricey dinner but worth the experience. We got the 3 course meal but we were treated to 2 free dishes because of our anniversary. I can't rave enough about the food. Ravioli for appetizer, lamb chops for the main dish ( best lamb I've ever had) and apple dessert with rum for dessert. The bread they bring at the beginning was out of this world. Highly recommend for a very special occasion.

Perfect! The food was an incredible experience, ambience was perfect, and the staff were truly incredible.

Amazing service from the bartenders- Jelena and James. Thank you for making our evening so special!

I had the pleasure of taking my wife here for our anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I made the reservations, the staff graciously accommodated all my requests. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the door and assisted with our coats, setting the perfect tone. The atmosphere was enchanting, and the chef’s curated courses were nothing short of amazing, with outstanding food selections. The customer service (our waiter Albert was great) and hospitality were impeccable throughout. No complaints whatsoever—just pure delight for the evening. If you’re planning on visiting there’s a parking lot right across the street

It has been nearly 30 years since my last visit to OIBLTIBS, this time to celebrate the birthday of my partner. It still has its venerable charm - service and ambience. And the food was nicely prepared. The "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate along with some sweets is de rigueur and still a highlight. But I left with an unpleasant gut feeling - was the experience and food worth $500? Going forward, probably not. Although very satisfying, the tuna crudo, scallops and risotto, chocolate souffle were just not that unique to match the $165 cost($250 with wine/coffee, T/T). There are so many better value options with great food in NYC for half the price. But that's just me, everyone is obviously free to make their own value decisions.

Always stand out experience with a nice compliment of unique, cocktails, and solid cuisine. And obviously the ambience continues to impress.

Great dinner

Very low quality food and very expensive, they are trying to be like Michelin star restaurant, but only trying. $500 for two people and 0 satisfaction from food, music and vibe is nice, lots of potential, but for now oh well….

The food was excellent and the live pianist was incredible and added so much to the atmosphere. Our waitress, Sasha, was a total sweetheart and she made us feel so welcomed and answered all our questions and even provided us with some recommendations for wine pairings! I’d highly recommend coming here for a nice romantic date night.

Definitely one of the best NYC restaurants out there. We're local, were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and it was a great choice. The food and the service were totally outstanding. It's a beautiful space, and the rare restaurant where you can actually hear yourself think. We were able to have a conversation and to talk to our servers. It's an historical building and one of the coziest and most romantic places out there. Not cheap, but really worth it!

For the price per person on a 3 course meal it should have been outstanding but it wasn't. The food was good, beef Wellington was great, But the tables were close together and it was loud. Had to wait extra 20 mins from reservation on table which does happen sometimes but still a little frustrating. nothing was wrong overall just not a price you want to pay for only being good.

Food was excellent ! Service was good , waitress was excellent, others waiting on table were just ok , it was a special day for us we asked in advance, for a nice quiet table and when we got there they tried to seat us in the middle of the restaurant, anything but quiet ...we were told to wait and they would give us a quiet table as originally requested , but we were eventually seated near a window with a loud table of 12 seated right next to us , we could hardly hear the waitress tell us about the menu and we had difficulty hearing each other ... not quiet or romantic by any means

If you're seeking ambiance, you can't go wrong. If you'd like delicious, flavorful food to go with said ambiance, look elsewhere. My wife and I went for our anniversary and found the food as well as the service not to be worth the $155 per person prix fixe menu. We were, to put it mildly, vastly underwhelmed and disappointed given the price tag. I had the red snapper, which sounded delectable on the menu but arrived bland and in dire need of some flavor...even just salt would have made a difference. My wife ordered the NY strip which was actually too salty and tough. The jus also had an odd flavor - not bad or spoiled, just off somehow. The first course was better than the second and the desserts were serviceable. All in all, I expected more than "fine" for the price tag.
