My friend and I stopped in Quaintrelle for a drink without reservations. We were warmly welcomed by everyone we encountered. Aaron our server at the most adorable bar was informative, friendly and an absute drink making ninja! We enjoyed on of the best dishes I've Ever had the Hamachi. We are coming back to try the tasting menu. I highly recommend this exquisite gem. Everyone who works there made us feel at home. I will be back and bring anyone and everyone!!

I ate here a couple years ago and was underwhelmed, especially when taking the cost into account.I heard Naomi Pomeroy was consulting, so I was excited to give it another shot and feel her imprint.Food was very good, not amazing, not super innovative. Definitely not on the same level as Le Pigeon or (rest in peace) Tercet or Berlu. Although it is priced as though it offers a comparable meal.I wish I loved it, but I think it is OK.

Food was adventurous, very flavorful and packs a punch, my favorites were the oysters, cured duck, and the scallops. I also never ate a parsnip so tasty in my life. Service is next to none, they replace all your utensils with new ones and if you leave your napkin to go the bathroom the re-fold or for you and put it on the table. They're very quick and attentive. I love the ambiance not too dark and very romantic. This place is definitely on my list for another date night. It's worth every penny.

This place is well known for their 7 or 10 course meal, which I highly recommend. Unfortunately I wasn't too too hungry so decided to order off from the a la carte. I got the scallop $32, it has apple, celery & horseradish. This dish was so refreshing and the presentation was beautiful with the large shell that sits on top of stones. The Duck $30, which has potato, cabbage & rye. This was a great dish as well, the rye really put this dish together. I wish there was more duck! The mandilli $36, I've never had this pasta before and it was so delicious. It has turnip, salsify & raclette. The cod $38, this has tonkatsu broth, dulse & shimeji. The broth was a little too salty for my preference but together with the cod it paired very well. The skin was crispy and the cos itself was moist and buttery. The best part was honestly the bread and butter. Home made Focaccia bread with honey butter. It was SO good! I also love how this place also offers complimentary sparkling water. For drinks... Hot apple toddy $15, there is a cold option as well. This has bourbon, cider, citrus, spices & sherry. Was perfect for the cold day. Liquid gold $18, this has gin, bergamot, pear brandy, saffron & lime. For those who don't like gin, you can barely taste the bitterness. They definitely made this mix well and tasty! Overall, would come again. Service was great, food was tasty and beautifully presented and great drinks. Would love to try the 10 course one day.

I came here for an anniversary dinner and thought that it was alright. If it weren't for the amazing company, I would have probably enjoyed it less. We decided to do the tasting menu (155/pp) for the night as everything seemed good on the menu. The service the whole time was very kind. We started the meal with some complimentary bread, which had an amazing crust and phenomenal butter (I can always appreciate some good bread) before moving to oysters. The oysters were fresh, delicious, and the perfect size for me. The next couple of courses that followed were small bites that had amazing emulsions, foams, and fresh ingredients. Out of the three more substantial plates we had, the scallops were my favorite. A friend previously hyped up the duck from Quaintrelle and maybe it was because she spoke extremely highly of it that my expectations were too high and it fell a bit flat for me. Nonetheless, everything was delicious. The biggest issue I had was that the course was about ~3.5 hours. While my boyfriend and I's dinners typically last ~2 hours, the nearly 4 hour experience was too long for us to enjoy. We often found ourselves waiting 20+ minutes between courses and wondered if they forgot about our table. Although the food was good, it would've been nice to receive a notice about how long the dinner was going to take for the tasting menu. Based off my friend's experience, I would recommend to just do al carte as you can get nearly the same experience with the same price (and if anything a bigger portion), as well as save some time.

An all-around phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food left me feeling like my soul had been fed. It was inventive, rejuvenating and ground breaking. I left inspired, wanting to go home to my kitchen so that I could bake (my own, personal passion).I only wish I could’ve eaten more.
I went here for a special date and we had mixed feelings. The service was excellent but there is such a long period between dishes that I felt like it was forced. The food portions were definitely tasty and innovative. Dish presentation was good but not on par with the price. It's just that it was so little that we had to get more food afterwards. Most other tasting menus leaving you satisfied, maybe because of how long it was.

Great service/ambiance/food. How can you go wrong?

wow, this place totally lived up to the press. I sat at the bar and had the 7 course tasting menu along with a couple glasses of wine. I had incredible service, each dish was delivered with a complete description. each time a plate was taken away I got all new silverware. the bartender, Aaron, gave great explanations of each dish. I can't recommend this place too highly, enjoy yourself!

This restaurant is such a gem. We had dinner there last night and went for the tasting menu. It was imaginative without being precious, and it was flawlessly executed. Simply delicious. Our server was attentive and fun. Five star experience!

We had so much fun here. Each course was carefully prepared and a delight to eat. Service was fun and friendly.
Good food, lengthy dining experience- 3.5 hrs for the 19 course. Service was great. Portions were large for a tasting menu.
