We have been to a few two and three star restaurants that did not live up to our expectations, but Per Se did. The food and service exceeded our expectations. When we first were seated at our table overlooking Columbus Circle, the hostess pointed to a small stool and said, "This is a rest for your purse." This small touch tells you about the attention level in the restaurant. Each course was perfectly timed and bursting with flavors. The sizes were perfect. By the end of the dinner we were full but not stuffed. And then came six or seven tiny desserts. At the end we got a bag with tasty morsels as mementos, as well as a menu of what we had signed by the chef. It was a memorable dinner.

This was an excellent experience. The service staff was phenomenal. They were very professional and friendly. They helped guide us through the menu and ensured our dietary restrictions were not a concern at all. The main dining room and 9 course tasting menu comes with a hefty price tag but it is worth it. The food is excellent and you will certainly leave full but not stuffed. This was one of the best meals we have had to date. Walking through a mall to get to a 3 Michelin Star restaurant is off putting but the view once you get there helps you forget all about that. I'm very happy we had the opportunity to eat in the main dining room and next time I am in New York I will do my best to get a reservation there again. Definitely add it to your must eat list when visiting NYC!

When you book at a Michelin 3 Star restaurant expectations are pretty high. Especially when you fly in special to New York for your wife’s milestone birthday.
Could it be that good?
The short answer is yes.
Amazing view. I couldn’t believe our table overlooking Central Park.
Wait staff. Totally matched our vibe. Attentive, funny and the right mix of leave me alone with a hint of answering questions and lightheartedness. Shoutout to Eric!!!
The food. It’s all about the food, right? Upon the first bites in your mouth you wonder what you’ve been chewing your whole life. It certainly wasn’t this. I have the palette of a kindergartner and even I was blown away from the flavors, textures and sensations.
To top it off a few special extras for my wife’s birthday. Worth the special trip. Couldn’t imagine having done anything else.

It's spectacular, it lived up to it's reputation. It's a seven course tasting menu, although if you count the number of desserts it's more like 11. We both had the wagyu supplement which we would highly recommend.
We have done a number of Michelin three starred restaurants, some deliver and some disappoint. In New York Per Se and Le Bernadin are both extraordinary. We were really underwhelmed by Jean George.

This place is so hard to review. Obviously the cooking is at a world-class standard, but aside from a couple of dishes like the classic oyster and pearls and the quail. Nothing really blows you away. The eight or nine different desserts is a nice touch at the end and there’s some real crackers in there the thing that’s most surprising about this place. Is that the atmosphere the decor feels like a Hilton lobby. Which when you’re paying $400 a plate feels very underwhelming, I’ve definitely had better. Michelin star Dan experiences and I would not say this is a must do.

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.

First and foremost, all I can say is WOW!
Right when you walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn to the lit bar with the most exquisite stone. Once we were greeted by the hostess, we were immediately escorted through the bustling dining room.
We started with the Insulata and it was so simple, yet somehow both left us wide-eyed in the best way. On to the next course, the Marubini and Fusilli were big hits for the entire table. The flavors were bursting through and the ingredients were extremenly fresh. Our waitress recommended the appetizer portion. This was a brilliant suggestion since we were still going to enjoy the Bistecca. This was a beautifully thick cut of meat that was seasoned to perfection. The best bite was when you combined the croutons, which absorbed the bone marrow, and the steak. Heavenly. Last but not least, dessert. We were blessed with enjoying the Crostata and Tiramisu. These confections may sound ordinary, but the ingenuity of Chef Fujimura took them to the next level.
Now onto what really will make me a loyal patron to this restaurant and will remain a go to spot when entertaining guests…. THE STAFF! Our waitress was an angel sent down to us. Juliana was attentive, patient, and informative. There wasn’t a single question or curve ball we could throw at her that she couldn’t handle. Captivating personality that made us feel like we were VIP and the only people in the restaurant, despite it being quite busy for a weeknight.
When she was occupied running back to the kitchen, Salvatore was right there tending to our needs. Then there was the magnificent Leo, who never left a crumb on the table or a glass of water empty. Ever charming and fashionable. The one last stop before we left was at the bar. Juliana introduced to Dilly, the artist that made our fantastic cocktails. Everything sip was smooth and constructed with intention.
All in all, a 10/10 experience. Chef Capala is a magician in the kitchen and I will certainly be back.

I have the warmest memories of this restaurant! A few years ago, I celebrated my graduation here and had just adopted a puppy. With no one to leave the little guy with, I had to bring him along. Normally, I'm not a fan of taking dogs to fancy places, but leaving my scared puppy at the hotel just didn't feel right.
The staff were incredibly kind and understanding, making us feel welcome right away. The food and service were outstanding—far beyond just nice. It's such a shame that this restaurant lost its Michelin star. I really hope they get their two stars back because they truly deserve it.

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 😅

Fantastic experience at Marea. My partner and I were here celebrating our engagement and the service was impeccable. We were also kindly given free champagne.
The restaurant feels classic and stylish with a buzzy atmosphere. Service throughout the evening was perfect.
We had a burrata and lobster dish and also a prawn tartare for starters. They were both delicious. We then had a crab pasta and a scallop dish. Both were really good, particularly the crab pasta which was exceptional.

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.

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.

We visited numerous Michelin star restaurants in our New York City visit and all were great but Jean-Georges blew them all out of the water the food was spectacular service was personal and exceptional the sommelier was personable and accommodating the atmosphere was just beautiful the table lighting was beautiful and unique. My wife and I both agree on our last trip Jean-Georges was our favorite and exceeded all our exceptions. I would highly recommend and I want to thank the team for providing us a lasting memory and even allowing us a picture at the pass exceptional!!!

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.

I went around 6pm so it was not busy at all, however they offered me to be seat at the bar.
I accepted, and it was nice, the service was super fast, and the girls at the bar were really friendly and very attentive taking care of the people at the bar all the time (refilling the drinks, removing the plates, offering the water, etc)
I ordered the maki special roll Kyuri Special and Sashimi of soy seasoned tuna. Spectacular! Fresh! Tasty! And Flavory!
I'll definitely come back to try more options from the menu!!

Everything was delicious and service was great. They also don’t charge for hot green tea which I really appreciate. The oxtail fried rice is delicious, the little bits of bone marrow added a lot of flavor.
The sushi-sashimi combination was made up of:
Sashimi - 3 pc tuna, 2 pc each of salmon, sawara / spanish mackerel, and amberjack
Nigiri - 1 pc each of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, fluke / hirame, shrimp, albacore

This place is a hidden gem inside a hotel, but don't let that fool you. The vibe inside is cozy and elegant, and the sushi is out of this world. You can tell they use only the freshest and highest quality fish, as each bite melts in your mouth and bursts with flavor. The presentation is also stunning, with colorful and creative dishes that make you want to take a picture before you dig in.
The menu is not your typical sushi place, as they offer some other cooked options that are equally delicious. I loved the crispy rice with ahi tuna, the popcorn shrimp, and the cauliflower tempura. If you want to splurge, the Blue Ribbon Roll with lobster and the spicy crab roll are phenomenal options. They are pricey, but worth every penny.
The service is very fast and efficient, even when the place gets busy. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make sure you have a great experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as this place is very popular and can get crowded.
This is one of my favorite sushi places in NYC, and I can't wait to go back. If you are looking for a place to treat yourself or impress someone, this is it. You won't regret it.

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.

Had lunch at Patsy's during a trip to New York and it was okay. Nothing to brag home about and I also had a hiccup with the establishment that made my experience a bit uneasy. Here are some takeaways:
Environment
Patsy's is a nice space. We went for lunch so it was pretty empty and not a lot of people dining at the time. The vibe seems to be high end but casual dining. Great for lunch with friends or a date night with a partner. Keep in mind that there is a no hat policy if you do decide to dine here.
Service
As I mentioned earlier, there is a strict no-hat policy at this restaurant, which I was unaware of before my visit. Due to a medical condition, I find it more comfortable to wear a hat most of the time. When we asked if I could keep my hat on for health reasons, they initially refused and requested proof of my diagnosis. This felt intrusive and made me uncomfortable. Despite my hesitation, I provided them with some documentation, and they eventually allowed me to keep my hat on.
I want to highlight this to inform others about the no-hat policy and the extent to which you might need to go if you have a similar situation. This experience put a damper on my visit, and because of the strict policy and how I was treated, I doubt I will return.
Aside from this incident, our server was friendly, attentive and ensured we had everything we needed.The food and drinks were delivered promptly and overall, the service was great.
Food and drinks
I had the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was okay. I wouldn't order it again however if I were to ever return I would try other things on the menu to see if I would have a better experience.
Overall
My experience at Patsy's wasn't great but just remember no hats and you may have a good time. The food was just okay to me but I would give it another shot if they let me in.

I ordered the Ravioli trio (but replaced the mushroom one, with cheese ravioli) They were all delicious, but the menu says that each one comes with a distinctive sauce, and if they were different, I couldn't tell. It had a nice atmosphere though. A very cozy, family owned business that's been around forever, and has TONS of history and photos to prove it. Dessert is an absolute must! My son went crazy over their chocolate mousse cake, and I ate my cannoli cake so fast I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture. It was AWESOME! I will warn you though- the soda glasses are the tiniest you've ever seen, and at $4.50 a pop they do not provide free refills. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. There is also an upstairs, but we didn't go up there so I can't say what's up there. Overall, a great place for a good Italian dinner! 👍 👍

The pasta was excellent! The fried mozz was okay. The tiramisu was unique and not in a good way. The lady fingers were soggy beyond recognition and none of the flavors stood out well.

Best food we had this trip! The Alfredo & Chicken was cooked perfectly (al dente) and had a uniqueness to it! Thick but still creamy! The pizza was amazing! The dough was so light and all the topping stayed on the pizza and didn’t just slide off like too many places. You really got to enjoy the flavors all working together! Service started off perfectly but then disappeared once we had our food. I would’ve like another beer but instead settled for my water since they didn’t come back around.

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!

I’m start this review by saying this restaurant is now in my TOP 5 favorite restaurants!!
The food gotten better with every bite, I was consciously trying not to devour my dish because things would have gotten messy!
Our waiter Walter was very courteous, attentive, although they did not have an official kids menu he was able to give my daughter options that are not on the menu that she would enjoy very appreciative of that.
The aesthetics were very elegant, modern, rich. The restaurant is wrap with a view of the city, enjoying a dinner with soft music and light conversations being sounds of the background and views of the forever moving city right outside our window! I for sure will come back again and again!!

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 recently visited Robert Restaurant located in an art museum close to Central Park during my 2-day trip to NY with guests. The ambience was fantastic and the service was top-notch. Our server was very informative and helpful, especially with guiding my vegan wife through the menu. We all had a great time and I would definitely recommend this place to others. It's a perfect spot for dates and business dinners. Overall, a wonderful dining experience at Robert Restaurant!

Such a great spot for brunch and gatherings with the view of Central Park. Took family from out of town here and they loved the experience. We were able to grab a table by the window around lunch time on a weekday - I think those tables are first come first serve. We got the prix fixe lunch menu plus two sides (shishito peppers and lettuce wraps). I really liked the chicken - it was done so well, juicy and well seasoned, the salad was also great. Wasn’t too impressed with the lettuce wraps. But I would definitely come back again - they even brought out a cute dessert to welcome my family to NYC!

This place was great!!
There were four of us: shared two small appetizers, each person a main dish, shared two small desserts, each person had two adult beverages..... total for each after tip: $100.
We were looking for a place to go after the taping of the Colbert show... found it on Google and decided to try it for the first time. We were NOT disappointed!!
I cannot remember the names of the dishes, I do apologize... but we had oxtail, chicken, shrimp, and salmon as our mains, and EVERYONE was completely satisfied.
I asked our server what his favorite dishes were, and he gave me two options (I often have difficulties choosing what to eat). Ultimately, I asked him to pick whatever he wanted for me and for it to be a surprise.... that oxtail, y'all!!
10/10 would recommend!

Had a very positive experience here after going to the theater. Being a little early makes for a very nice service experience because you get all of the attention. The caipirinha's were excellent as the was the salad and our entrees (pork chops in mustard sauce / steak with chimichurri). Everyone was nice and the pricing was reasonable. ALCS Met game was on TV at the bar. LGM!

We had delicious Cuban food made the authentic way, plus nice welcoming staff and a warm atmosphere.
We ordered thin traditional Cuban steak and pollo Guagira and we loved them both. The steak comes with a generous amount of caramelized onions that were nicely seasoned, and the chicken comes with several vegetable ingredients, pepper, mushrooms, plantain, etc., a good healthy choice. Make sure to try their mojitos, they were special. I also tried Cuban style beer for the first time that was so good.
It was easy to find a table (on a Saturday) and the staff were very attentive and helpful.
I recommend this restaurant.

This place was okay. My sister had visited before and raved about this place so I had to come visit myself. The food was good. It was a little dark in here but the atmosphere was nice. The people sitting next to me had to turn on their flash to see the menu.
We got the Tres leches at the end of out meal and couldn't finish it. I was gross and very grainy. Definitely skip that.
The server was nice however, Depsite him waiting past us multiple times, we had to wait 30 minutes before we got the check even though we were just sitting there on our phones.
I waved him down and he just put a finger up and walked away.

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!

This place is amazing! The drinks are top-notch and the service is exceptional. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to recommend a new cocktail or dish to try. Overall, this establishment truly sets the bar high for quality and customer satisfaction.

Belen was an exceptional waitress; great recommendations, very attentive and a lovely warm manner. The food was very good - I had been recommended this restaurant by a Mexican born foodie I met in the city, and it didn't disappoint! I had ceviche, guacamole (mixed at the table, a great touch) and the shrimp tacos. Absolutely delicious! Try to come here if you're anywhere near the area for a welcoming atmosphere and an authentic taste! ☺️🙏

Great experience! Ordered the pomegranate margaritas, a must, and they were delicious. The nachos with grilled, jumbo shrimp did not disappoint. My daughter had the child's chicken quesadilla which was delicious and more than enough. The ceviche and shrimp cocktail were also fabulous. 👌

----- ORIGNAL REVIEW: Not only is this one of the best Mexican restaurants we’ve ever eaten at but it’s one of the best restaurants period. It is loud and fun and really good be sure and get the guacamole I had mine with pineapple and it was excellent she had the queso which she really enjoyed because it had bacon bits in it I had the chicken enchiladas which were really good with it tangy fruit green sauce which was very good She had the steak tacos and the steak was super fall off the bone succulent and juicy with a nice bark highly flavored outside. the desserts were excellent the Tres Leche cake is really just a strawberry shortcake it is unbelievably good and the others were all really good we will come back here often the price is right and the drinks are strong.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
