This is always an amazing experience! Don't come broke, but come hungry with high expectations. You went be disappointed! We could only secure lounge seating, but it's the same menu and service. The wine pairing had some hits and misses for us, but definitely an adventure and fun! The menu is very seasonal, but I've been several times now and never disappointed.

Came here for their under 30 lunch and it was great! The service was amazing our waitergave us great recommendations on wines and check on us very frequently. The food was great but some dishes are a little too salty and the dessert was extremely sweet. My favorite dish was the chicken one - I don't think I've had chicken this tender and good ever!

The experience here can be described in one word - phenomenal. The staff explained all the dishes well and the waiter was absolutely wonderful. They also accommodated my allergy for one of the dishes as well. You will leave with a full stomach for sure. Their dessert course is absolutely amazing.

Per Se undoubtably lived up to its prestigious reputation. The menu, which changes daily, is a testament to the creativity and adaptability of the staff. It’s truly impressive how they manage such a varied and dynamic offering with finescale precision. As delightful as the food was, the highlight of my visit was the extraordinary service. Isiah, in particular, was remarkable. His charisma and genuine passion for his role greatly enhanced the entire experience. His attention to detail and enthusiasm were infectious, and he went above and beyond to accommodate my special requests. I also noticed the extra care they provided despite me being a solo diner! And as an added bonus, they offer a vegetarian prix fix menu that rotates seasonally, which I will absolutely be back for. I can’t recommend this restaurant more to any culinary enthusiasts, as there are clear and justifiable reasons behind this restaurant’s fame.

Nadine is the bomb. She made an epic meal explosive. Great experience and the best meal ever. Trust me, Michelin stars are well deserved here. We thought we were done with NYC after traveling there since the 80’s, but no, will be back next year Nadine. Happy New Year 🎆

Quite a beautiful restaurant, but the food was not as great as I expected. The portions were large (photos are half a portion each) but the taste lacked the special touch that would make me want to come back. The halibut was cooked to the perfect degree, but the sweet taste from the sweetened almonds did not sit well with me and the risotto beneath was too salty. The fusili was good but not enough to linger on my mind. That said, it still seems like a nice restaurant to try out if you have it on your list.

This place from the outside looks very simple, but the inside is very beautiful. Once you enter, you right away feel that it's not a typical restaurant. The service is very good, everyone there is very friendly, very kind, respectful and they check on you often. Details in this for restaurant matter. Everything they bring in has attention to detail. I started there with expresso coffee and some non alcohol cocktail. The cocktail was good, but coffee was not from this world. I liked it so much that I asked for 2nd one. I have ordered there a swordfish and a steak. Both dishes were amazing. There's nothing I can add or complain about. They were done incredibly well. For desert, I ordered donuts and tiramisu. Both were also made very well. I would absolutely recommend everyone to try to come here. It's not cheap, but everything was worth it.

Excellent upscale spot for Italian seafood cuisine. The octopus fusilli is one of the main dishes they are known for (we enjoyed it), but the clam spaghetti was definitely one of our favorites. Definitely also get at least one of the crudo starters, the raw fish selections were amazing. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Had the most beautiful dinner here with friends. They had run out of the main course I ordered so I ended up receiving complimentary mushroom risotto which the waiter merely overheard me debating getting it and then it just appeared. Also the playlist was on point for 80s classics by the end the night. Was convinced my dad was controlling it behind the bar or something 😅

Marea offers an exceptional dining experience with a focus on high-quality seafood and Italian-inspired dishes. The ambiance is elegant yet welcoming, perfect for a special occasion or an upscale evening out. Their crudo and handmade pastas stand out, with flavors that are both creative and refined. The service is outstanding—our waitress was particularly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit for seafood lovers in the heart of New York City.

I mean, would you expect less than 5 stars for a 2-Michelin Star restaurant? The food was delicious, but beyond that, creative and thoughtful. I picked Jean-Georges for my Michelin Star dining experience because the menu sounded stellar. Too many restaurants either over-simplify or over-complicate food. Jean-Georges walks the line of creativity and sophistication without crossing over into absurdity. I will definitely be back once my budget recovers!

Jean-Georges’ flagship restaurant delivers everything expected of a $400 tasting menu, plus some more. One of the best meals of my life. JG’s flavors are bright, inventive, and delicious, marked by judicious use of acidity and flavors from all over Asia. Genius. I’ve never experienced these sorts of interesting flavors at any other restaurant. Despite its age, JG is one of the most youthful and exciting fine dining restaurants in NYC, full of vigor and brimming with fresh ideas. It actively pushes the boundaries of the art of fine dining the same way that a maestro wants to leave an imprint in their own artistic field. JG is worthy of being a destination dining. Caveat: you must love acidity to enjoy a meal here. Normally I highlight the standout dishes. Here, every dish was a standout except two, an exceptionally high hit rate for such a long menu. The caviar with coconut semifreddo and dill oil felt too simplistic and flat: fun concept but seemed missing a few ingredients. The seared foie gras was missing acidity. If it appeared earlier in the meal I’d have enjoyed it more (but then it’d ruin my appetite). A sweet and heavy dish towards the end was a bit much without some acidity to balance it out. Everything else was downright phenomenal, especially the madai sashimi with strawberry, sakura, and wasabi, which sent me directly to the stratosphere. The tuna tartare’s decoration is an exemplar of garnish for flavor, not just aesthetics, as the mint added a nice surprise and significantly changed two or three bites. The dining room was beautifully bathed by natural lighting with a nice view of the mall and skyscrapers. The wine by the glass selection was just as complex and exciting as the food. The service was extraordinary: conversational without feeling rehearsed, and it felt like they’d do everything in their power to make sure you have an excellent dinner. I look forward to my next meal here.

Whether you're stopping by for a delicious lunch paired with the best Cucumber Martini in town or indulging in a fabulous dinner, Jean Georges never disappoints. During my recent lunch visit, Cameron’s exceptional customer service truly stood out, making the experience even more memorable. I can’t stop recommending this gem to all our partners—it's the perfect spot to impress out-of-town clients or for locals to celebrate a special occasion. Simply outstanding!

The full experience was great. 6 courses is a lot of food, but 10 is not impossible to accomplish. 1. Let the sommelier do her job. (We went May 4th) She is incredible. Her wine choices for us was absolutely perfect. The best sommelier I met. As a reference, I eat in great restaurants from Hawaii to Tokyo. 2. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Perfect service. Perfect food. Great place.

Can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. They made our anniversary so special and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with gluten free options and substitutions which made me feel looked after. The wagyu was one of the best I've ever had, and that's saying something.

After working 20 years ago at the original Blue Ribbon, this amazing group of restaurants gives me an app and dessert on the house. Not only does it speak volumes about Erick and Bruce but the whole Blue Ribbon family. I shared a wonderful meal with my family and hopefully a new tradition on New Year’s Eve to do a fancy meal.
Charlie Maciejewski - a month ago

Been here several times lately and the food has been invariably excellent. Also great service and atmosphere. The standard sushi deluxe is the way to go, but their new and improved menu also includes some excellent items like salmon teriyaki and oxtail fried rice. The wine choices are very good but sadly they’ve been out of the Yuzu nonalcoholic beer for a while. Service is pleasant and despite the lack of windows the main dining area is beautiful and well ventilated.
Richard S - 3 months ago

One of our all time favorites sushi spots in the city! The sake selection is fantastic, edamame is firm and delicious! Their fish selection is top-tier and reasonably priced. OH, definitely get the wild mushroom fried rice to share it’s amazing and comes with a delicious red chili sauce for some heat
Jonathan Halley - a month ago

Excellent sushi. The best I’ve had so far in NYC. The chefs prepare the food in front of customers in the dining area at the rear of the restaurant. The platters are consistently good. And there is a fabulous selection of Saké. Very friendly and helpful staff. We went for my daughter’s graduation celebration. They very kindly offered us a delicious desert. The server, named Air, was charming and welcoming.
Philip Branford - 8 months ago

I experienced an excellent ambiance and lovely service. The sushi was fresh and so delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered the wings appetizer, miso soup, sushi platter, and strawberry mochi. We also enjoyed their cocktails. We ate every bite of food and I highly recommend this restaurant

Great food. Not only tasty but the serve provided exceptional recommendations. Service was top notch h and a team effort. Reservations were recommended and honored and we were greeted by a friendly team who sat us promptly. Atmosphere was fun but not overwhelming. Live music was great but still afforded guests to enjoy conversation. Overall exceptional experience and highly recommend we’ll be back soon.

Our first time in NYC and we had to come try this place. The atmosphere is exactly what we expected with friendly smiles from the moment we walked in that continued throughout our meal. The waitstaff was very attentive, and we did not have to wait on anything. The food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly after we ordered. Their dessert menu had a large selection and was also very delicious. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food.

Friends have told me to go to Patsy's for a long time and I finally went there. It was early, around 4, and they were happyntonseat me without a reservation but I did need to finish around 530. This has happened before at other restaurants so it was not odd or unexpected. The staff was friendly and attentive and they have a full bar (the Whiskey Sour was great). As many others have written, this is an old school Italian place, since 1944. It does have a great atmosphere and many celebrity photos line the walls. The food is wonderful and dull of flavors. The bread is crusty and thick and fresh. It pairs well with the olive oil on the table. I ordered the Tortellini with veal meat sauce. My Italian mother used to do a veal sauce and this brought back a lot of memories. The other dish ordered was Spaghetti Marina. A tomato sause that was neither too tomato taste or over spiced. Both dishes were very good. And we had a side of the sautéed spinach with garlic. And very good size portions. So much in face, we didn't have room for what looked like wonderful deserts. I guess another visit is in order.
Robert Ballantyne - a month ago

Patsy’s is a classic Italian restaurant with decent food and nice atmosphere. The service was slightly above average. The draw here is that several celebrities frequent this restaurant. The Italian food is great but for a place that uses fresh pasta I was expecting a bit better. Overall I would definitely return next time I’m in New York and craving pasta.
Rob Fortier - 5 months ago

I find myself disappointed more than anything here, specifically with the food. The atmosphere checked the box for what we were looking for (pre-show, old school italian), and although our waiter was sporadically absent, he was fine nonetheless. The food is what really disappointed me. Everything tasted very bland, like it was made with "haste" not "love". I think this place is fine, good not great (depending on what you get). Don't expect to be blown away.

Porterhouse Steak was good. Service did not feel that great. They could have done a better job considering the check cost about US$550. Atmosphere is kind of dated. Needs a little touch up. Have been to better places with amazing service for that kind of price. Taking pride in your brand and food is good. But, have to keep up with that kind of image for all customers.
Lango Sven - a month ago

Classic steakhouse experience and a million dollar view. Service is wonderful- they know what you want before you know what you want. If you are lucky enough to sit by a window celebrate with a Manhattan. Of course the steaks are wonderful, but the hidden gem at our table was the Iberian Duroc Pork Chop. More people ravdd about the suculence and juciness of that chop than the steaks. A can't miss item. Try the cookie plate and a glass of port to finish the night and enjoy the view.
Kay Cornelius - a week ago

Came here for lunch during restaurant week and had a wonderful experience. I really liked how they had their own mocktail specials. I got the shrimp cocktail which was huge and flavorful. The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned really well. The dessert was supposed to be like a lava cake. There wasn't much ooze but still tasty with the whipped cream. All that for 40 (minus the cocktail) was definitely worth it!
Natalie Delpratt - 5 months ago

We went for Restaurant Week and we were delighted. The place is fancy and has great service. I think the prices were super reasonable for what we got and discovered they have a similar option for weekdays lunch, which is super convenient. Everything was great but the desserts were on another level.

Just had my birthday lunch here, and it was AMAZING! Between the amazing service, delicious sour dough bread and butter, thick cut bacon to die for, the New York Strip and on top of all that the VIEWS, I had the best birthday lunch ever. Definitely has become one of my favorite restaurants in New York!

WOW. What else is there to say about the absolute best dining experience? We celebrated our anniversary here and it did not disappoint. It was easy to get to, the views of Central Park were breathtaking, the food was the absolute best, the prices were great for the level of service and atmosphere provided... We just had the best time. It was awesome watching the sunset over a romantic meal in NYC with a pianist playing lovely music. His musicianship doesn't go unnoticed. High quality for the price. Highly recommend reservations in advance, especially when you want to sit next to the window. I will recommend this restaurant to the ends of the earth.

We celebrated our parents' wedding anniversary at Robert's while we were on a trip to New York. The staff at Robert's was charming and very attentive at all times to ensure we had a lovely evening. They saved us a window table and treated us wonderfully throughout the dinner. In addition, they were kind enough to invite us to some delicious little desserts along with a dedication and a candle for our parents to blow out. They were so happy! That aside, the food was delicious, the views were beautiful and all for a more than reasonable price. We will definitely repeat if we return to New York. Thank you!

Last Sunday, my friend and I had a wonderful dining experience at the Robert restaurant. Each of us had an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert; all dishes were absolutely delicious, and the presentation was fantastic. A complimentary amuse bush and mini dessert cakes were also a nice touch. The service was good and unobtrusive. I was a bit surprised that we were seated at the small corner table while plenty of other tables were available. The seat was not very comfortable, as I was hitting the wall with my elbow all the time, but the view compensated for this inconvenience. The view from the window is absolutely stunning. You can see Central Park and Broadway from above, and it compliments the bright, modern interior of the place. I am definitely will be coming back here.

I had to bring my family in there for some good food and live music. Having grown up in S. FL with a Puerto Rican mom and grandma, I grew up the most amazing homemade meals. The menu here was so nostalgic for me and the music really took me back to those days as a kid in Miami. Hoping to stop by again next time I'm in NYC.

After 11 years, we returned to the restaurant. We got the same table. The food was good and the pitch of sangria was good too. The service was great. I was impressed by Israel how well he handled my complain about the “ Tres leches” desert (Horrible and extremely expensive) other than that I definitely recommend this place to others.

I got the pork platter and it was so good 👍😊 the pork was soft, juicy, warm and tasty 🤤 this dish comes with yuca and congri. The portion was big enough to full me out. I definitely recommend this dish. I went on a Saturday night so there was live music and the atmosphere was very nice

We love this place!! The food is always so delicious and fresh! The service is great and the staff is always very friendly. We love getting the table side hand made guacamole! The chips are tasty as well. We like the enchilada dish. We always find ourselves coming back here! It’s so good!
Ian Green - 2 months ago

I really wanted to like it but, ehh. The menu I was handed was dirty and sticky. The service was underwhelming. The food is neither good nor bad. It’s cost efficient. The green sauce wasn’t spicy and had no flavor or kick. The carnitas were tender but also flavorless. There wasn’t enough pickled onions and not enough pickles in the onion either. Maybe I’ll try again another day.

Great two storied Mexican café and restaurant with outdoor dining options that are available almost year round. Fantastic food selections and cocktails that are surprisingly good but size-wise they may have some wondering [what’s this?]. Overall wonderful combos nevertheless. The outdoor tables are especially nice during the better part of the dryer seasons even in autumn, here in Manhattan. Very sensational location situated directly from the Lincoln Square’s main plaza and the fountain. And within walking distance of the No. 1-subway line entrances a couple of blocks away. A definite stopover before or after the opera begins, or when the concert or film ends to grab a bite and schmoozing with friends or colleagues at a table. Reasonable prices and moderately expensive. Plus some great late after-hours Happy Hours too through the weeknights and weekend vibes. With several locations located across the cityscape for convenient accommodations.

We had a wonderful experience at Rosa Mexicano. They were very accommodating to our large group, and the guacamole table service was delicious. The duck and fish tacos were a highlight, and their drinks were great too. Clean bathrooms and super friendly staff made it even better. Highly recommend!

We both had a frozen sangria margarita that was excellent. My carnitas enchiladas were fantastic, but the rice was a little dry. My wife had chicken tacos, and she liked them. Our waitress was fantastic and the atmosphere was great! Everyone was friendly.

Stopped by Nougatine for a quick drink today, and the setting was just as pleasant as it always is. We have dined here more than a dozen times over the years both in the bar room area and on the outdoor terrace, which is a really nice experience as well if the weather is good. The main dining room is the full Jean Georges experience, which is the pre-fix fancier menu. Nougatine is in the bar area and a little more laid back but still outstanding in its own right. Unfortunately, the main dining room is only open for dinner now. I used to go there quite a bit for lunch, so that is kind of a bummer. With that being said, both restaurants are fantastic. The main dining room experience (Jean Georges) is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the country.

Came here for 2023 summer restaurant week, and sat at the bar. I like the location, decorations, ambiance and moderate noise level. I ordered watermelon with goat cheese, crusted salmon and chocolate cake with caramel ice cream. The watermelon is good for the summer menu, and the ice cream flavor was for the restaurant week. The crusted salmon was the most crusted I had for a long time.
James L - a year ago

This place was incredible, every single thing we tried (we ordered 4 appetizers, 3 main dishes and 2 desserts) was incredible - the tuna tartare and burrata especially. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. Gave us recommendations that were delicious. Pacing of the food was perfect, and didn’t feel rushed to leave. Only thing is that it’s a small quiet area so I felt like our table was being a bit loud but as the night progressed it wasn’t as noticeable.

I’d give 1 star to my last visit, but I’m giving it 3 stars because I’ve been here other times and it’s usually good. But I was very disappointed with thanksgiving dinner. The service was good as always, but the food was not good, I couldn’t keep eating some of mine. The dessert was excellent though.
Melissa Ruiz - a year ago

This is a one of a kind, master class restaurant. The appetizers were unique and very creative, the main courses were top notch, but the desert was absolutely fabulous. I will go even further to say that the sour cherry pie is probably one of the best deserts in NYC. Love this place!
