Dear God, I had so much fun!! There was a LOT of hype going into this, and it fully lived up to all of it. The atmosphere was fun and playful, the service was exceptional, and the food was to the quality you would actually expect of fine dining. Could not recommend this place enough. For any foodie, for any “experience” person, for anyone idc - go!!! now!!! You won’t regret it.

Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, I was not disappointed! The dishes were unlike anything else I’ve had, and I definitely did not feel neglected compared to my carnivore peers.

TL;DR: Fine dining with a shot of espresso martini energy. Book it.

If Venhue were a person, it’d be your eccentric best friend who throws the best parties, knows everyone in the room, and somehow manages to whip up a five-star meal while dancing to a banger playlist. Forget white tablecloths and snooty food critics. This place takes fine dining, shakes it up in a cocktail shaker, and serves it to you with a side of “What just happened, and can we do it again?”

The AI video screens? Chaotic in the best way. They’re like your foodie hype squad, setting the stage for each dish like a blockbuster trailer. The food? Absolutely phenomenal—Executive Chef Steven Franco clearly has a PhD in Flavor. From the tasting menu to the casual bites, everything is designed to knock your socks off while you’re still grooving to the vibe.

But the staff? Oh, the staff. They’re like a Broadway ensemble of charm, running this beautifully chaotic show with so much charisma you’ll wonder if you accidentally wandered onto the set of a Netflix foodie docuseries.

Venhue isn’t just a meal; it’s a night out that starts with fine dining and ends with you plotting your return. Go for the food, stay for the vibes, and leave with a story you’ll want to tell at every party.

I've been wanting to come to Venhue for months and finally found a good friend to partake in this experience with me. I came in with no expectations and found the environment very fun and casual. This review is not so much about the full experience - but mainly the food. I was quite underwhelmed and came hungry, but left even hungrier. Every dish I tried, was more of a 'meh' for me. The only plate that was genuinely good was the A5 wagyu steak. It was a mere two bites, but it was incredible. I loved the experience of being taken to the back and enjoying a shot of sake with the kitchen. I, too, think this place is way over hyped.

It was a really nice show with nice food, with the accent on the show. When it comes to food remember it's just a tasting menu (won't be full after 6 courses) and varied experience between the dishes. It's cool to do it, but then you probably you'll not feel you have to do it again.

An atypical restaurant but with an exceptional team!
Good humor, good food, good wines, humor, tires, what more could you ask for?
Thanks again! Macron will come soon, I hope!

I’ve been fortunate enough to eat at Michelin restaurants in 5 different restaurants, but I’ve never experienced anything like Venhue. I did not know anything about the concept going into the night (better that way!!), but let me say it was truly experiential dining. And that would have been enough for a fun night, but what makes it special is the high bar they set for the food. I thoroughly enjoyed every course. The content that they make to go with the courses was great and added to the vibes. We had a ton of fun and can’t wait to return for the next menu change. Thanks to the amazing manager behind the bar (I’m sorry I forgot your name!). Additionally, the servers and the back of house staff were fantastic. I loved hearing from the chefs as you could tell how passionate they were about the food and the experience they create. Make a reservation here, you will not regret it.

Was not sure what to expect when we made a reservation but this place is unlike anywhere I’ve ever been before! Outstanding food, amazing drinks, games, music, fog machines. It was a totally immersive experience and I would recommend anyone try this place out!

Venhue is just what the city needed: A place that serves a great tasting menu without taking themselves too seriously. It's certainly a quirky experience, but it's extremely memorable and something perfect for friends and groups. And for the price, you can't beat it!

I came here not knowing what to expect and it was the coolest experience! It’s a 75 minute, 6 course delicious meal with a twist! Everything they do pokes a bit of fun at Michelin restaurants and experiences. There were so many quirky touches like tiny wine glasses and blindfolds either googly eyes - we even ended the evening with some bingo. With each course you never really know what to expect and it’s a fun surprise. This is definitely a fun and unique experience in NYC. Highly recommend!

Venhue is such a silly place. I think other reviews are overhyping this restaurant. The vibes here, very good. It’s undoubtedly a unique experience and they are poking fun at stuffy, fine dining restaurants. I really enjoyed the experience, but it’s a one and done. The gimmick isn’t supported by high quality food, so you will have no reason to return. Likely, you’ll leave going, “what the hell was that? Do you guys wanna get some Taco Bell on the way home?”
