Fine Dining Restaurants near Ridgewood, NY

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“Very nice setting and good food!“

“Please disregard old reviews, the team has changed completely since a year or so and you have (for now) a 3 star restaurant disguised as a 2 star one. The menu we were offered today was a masterclass of flavors, textures, balance, originality and quality. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. I would fly to New York from Europe again just to dine here again.“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Truly amazing experience! We come to New York around Christmas for weekend every year and every year we try a new place. This by far is the best experience we’ve had. Wonderful flavors, great courteous service. My taste buds were in ecstatic state for the rest of the night! The way each course flavors are opening in mouth..just unbelievable!“

“The food was very tasty, the atmosphere and ambience of the meal was great, especially the service was excellent and will be experienced again next time.“

“Loved everything about our evening at Frevo. It felt like an experience as much as dinner. The service was excellent, the food fantastic, and the vibe was downright sexy. I will be dreaming of the carrot course and the Comte with honey ice cream. Both literally made my eyes roll to the back of my head in the best of ways and were some of the best things I have ever eaten.“

“It's wonderful. French and American fusion. I love the (Tasting Menu) part.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, good cocktails and yummy food!“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“Excellent dining experience. It was nice to see diners appropriately dressed….no baseball caps, sneakers or sweats. Blazers are not required but I would recommend a dress for ladies and a collared shirt with nice pants for the men.
Tuna was good but the sardine toast was better.
Sweet crab and duck tortellini were great.
The osso buco was a little salty but the meat was tender and perfectly cooked.
The black bass was excellent.
Opt for the sticky toffee pudding. One dessert is more than enough for two people.
The service was top notch. He did a great job with the recommendations.“

“BEST MEAL I’ve had in my entire life! I don’t say that lightly because we’ve eaten in Michelin restaurants all over the world. I can honestly honestly say that was the most spectacular food I have ever had. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. I’d go here every night if I could!“

“Had a confirmed reservation for lunch at 1pm. Still had to wait over 10 minutes to be seated. Should have been able to be seated right away. Had a train to catch post-lunch and arrived at station at exact time train scheduled to leave. Only made it because it was delayed 12 minutes. A reminder that every minute counts when you have a business lunch and travel. I've never had a problem at Capital Grille in many other locations in both NYC and other cities. This location needs to do a better job at seating guests with reservations on time.“

“Though we enjoyed our meal at HAGS, our experience wasn’t quite as sensational as some of the other reviewers.

We found the food a bit underwhelming, especially at this price point. Don’t get me wrong, it was good throughout and sometimes great. The beef entree and the pumpernickel brand, for example, were fantastically done.

But many of the remaining dishes were quite vegetable-forward and some of the flavors didn’t seem to make sense together. There’s nothing wrong with a lot of vegetable dishes, but taken together it felt like the meal was a little bare and missing some substance / finesse.

The service was awesome and the decor of the place is lovely and memorable. Unfortunately, those were the parts of the meal that left the most lasting impression (vs the meal itself). Also love that they include tip with the menu prices - more restaurants ought to do that.

Maybe we aren’t the target demographic, but I think there are better spots in NYC to drop $200 pp.“

“Saga is a 10 points experience from start to finish. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a loved one and share the experience with friends. You arrive, they meet you with a choice of two drinks, that then the waitress takes to the table.

We chose the seasonal tasting menu which goes through multiple courses. Both menus were great. They were able to accommodate a vegetarian menu as we called with time. Each of the dishes were absolutely delicious.

We also did the wine pairing, the discovery selection of wines. We tried so many incredible wines. It was totally worth.

Staff were on point every step of the way. They were super kind, accommodating and walked us through each step with kindness.

Totally recommend Saga.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Our evening at Eleven Madison Park was easily the best dining experience I've ever had, and probably the best I ever will. I knew when I booked the reservation that we were going to have a great meal. What I wasn't expecting was how incredible and thoughtful the staff would be. The service was so good it literally brought me to tears.

We were visiting New York and in our hubris we thought it'd be a great idea to take an 8 year old who hates vegetables to a fully plant based fine dining restaurant. They went out of their way to ensure our kid had some unique food that they would like, even going so far as to whip up a custom dish.

At the end of the night we were given a tour of the kitchen and there was a chef's hat for our kid. AND THEY MADE A TINY ONE FOR THEIR TOY TARANTULA!

It's unlikely I'll be back to New York, so I likely will never have another chance to dine here. But I'll definitely remember my visit for a long time“

“We had a nice experience here. My steak was very good, I really did enjoy it. My husband things his dish dish was also pleasant. At first our waiter was a bit stiff and stand offish but he opened up and was professional. The location is beautiful and so is the space. I wouldn’t make a special trip to go back here specifically but if I’m in the mall again, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. It’s quality service and food, expensive but it’s NYC.“

“Our server, Delaney, was exceptionally helpful, adding immeasurably to our enjoyment of our meal. Each menu item we had was prepared exactly as requested. All staff were welcoming, which is why we return to this Capital Grille when visiting NYC.“

“It’s an amazing experience. So glad I chose to dine here.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“Clover Hill exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and creative. I feel there is always one dish in a tasting menu that is a disappointment or lack luster but that was complete untrue here — each dish was a star.

The service was excellent and the staff was so kind and accommodating. The pace of the meal was also spot on.

The wine pairings were exceptional!! We have strong opinions in this area and were surprised and delighted by Debbie’s choices. Highly recommend adding the pairing

Thank you to the clover hill team for taking such great care of us!“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“Amazing ambience. The interior decor is beautiful and exceptional quality. The staff were friendly and service was quick and efficient. We loved the meals. They were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The only disappointing aspect was that the meal portions were quite small and there were limited sides to order from - no vegetables or variety. But a great experience and we would definitely return!“

“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.“

“The food drinks serviced, live music and ambience was excellent. We had the octopus which was perfectly cooked an seasoned and the bbq bourbon meatballs which were fantastic. The best salad was beautifully platted and tasted just as good. The drinks were very good. We had the eve elizyr non alch, Garden of Eden and 37th west.“

“Went here with a group and had a lovely experience. Server had great recommendations from wine to food and after dinner drinks. We were able to enjoy a decent amount of the menu sharing with the table and the food was delicious. Personal favorite was the caviar pasta.“

“This was a lovely experience. We let the restaurant know that it was our anniversary and they decorated the table specially and gave us a little card, along with their best wishes. The food, as always, was delicious with perfectly cooked steak and the Generous Pour was plenty of really good wine (and maybe a bit more than enough!)“

“Great chefs and great food“

“With two kids under the age of 5, my husband and I don't get out very much. So we decided to gift ourselves a nice night out and decided to check out the 8 course tasting menu at Fulgurances. Rasika Venkatesa' food was so delicious and she was such a friendly chef, coming around and speaking with us. We loved it so much that we treated our moms for mother's day/70th birthday. They were lucky enough to have Oliver M George's tasting menu on the first day of his residency. They were blown away too. The hidden stars of this place, of course, are the cooks and staff who learn all these new and different cuisines every few months and provide outstanding service. Our hats off to them. We can't recommend this place enough. What better place to go to when you have precious little time, but the place that constantly changes!“

“Amazing food, Amazing service, Amazing atmosphere!“

“Great restaurant for a large party or just a regular fancier dinner. The food is always amazing, the sushi, charcuterie, salads and steaks are always amazing. Service is great, wonderful restaurant for an amazing dinner or a special occasion.“

“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.“

“It’s just the most wonderful place ever. My favorite NYC restaurant. I love everything about it.“

“We had an exquisite Italian meal at El Molino. My wife had Pollo Parmesano though, and it was the best presentation of this meal she has ever had... And she orders it at many many restaurants. Our waiter was very knowledgeable. We would return here many times.“

“peking duck spring rolls appetizer, yummers! lobster shrimp scampi entre, delicious! desserts, order one of each and share, go for it! life is short my friends, live the - (dash) - enjoy the journey :-)“

“We really enjoyed this place! 🌿 The atmosphere here is special: a beautiful interior that pleases the eye and creates a cozy mood. A big thank you to the waitress — she was very attentive and caring, and we felt completely comfortable. And of course, the little magic at the end of the evening — the wishes and predictions in the small bag that came with dessert. It was truly wonderful and left us with warm emotions. We will definitely come back again! ✨“

“Excellent dinner and the best ricotta cheese cake ever“

“Un très bon restaurant japonais avec des produits frais. Personnel en tenu typique, je le recommande !“

“Amazing ambience and service! Food was excellent and my fav was Chicken Satay, Shrimp Satay, Wonton Soup, Dumplings, Duck Salad, Spicy Velvet Chicken and Black Prawns….loved those dishes!!“

“I am not usually the one to write reviews on Google, but this place is fire. As someone already mentioned, it's basically a Dig, but better (at least for warm bowls). The space is nicer, the staff friendlier, and the food portions are as flavorful as Dig, yet more generous.One of the biggest pet peeves of mine while eating out in one of those healthy and casual spots is that I often feel like they serve you less protein than they advertise (which is usually supposed to be 4oz). That's especially annoying after a good workout. But to my surprise, the server today actually weighed my chicken to make sure the portion was accurate, so that made me happy (and yes, I count my macros). Anyway I hope they keep doing that.Overall, a great experience — I definitely plan on coming back.“

“Incredible ambiance. Our server William delivered top-notch service, felt like a Michelin dining experience. Interestingly, growing up eating Quanjude, the experience isn’t typically the high-end western style service you’d receive here, and I felt incredibly pampered!

Duck soup + Peking Duck are must orders (you get to take the duck bones home, which I did. there were so much meat still attached) Okra was refreshing and flavorful. The sweet and sour shrimp was also a hit for us!“

“Jesus leal thank you so much for the unforgettable dining experience you gave us today the wine was delicious the meatball and taco sushi were out of this world and our ribeye cooked to perfection melted in my mouth the green beans and macaroni and cheese were a delicacy and we ended up in love with the sundae but more thank you for your hospitality dear Jesus that is something we will never forget and I promise you on my next visit to New York to eat again at Palladinos the best steakhouse in New York“

“very profesional and very nice person, God blessing her“

“The atmosphere was spot on and the food had exceeded our expectations and the service was excellent.“

“Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL“
