My husband and I went to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. What a special treat. We opted for the 9 course and wine pairing. The food was excellent. The staff was super friendly. The explanations were clear and our asking questions was received with grace and excitement to share more knowledge. We were even taken to the kitchen to capture a picture and presented with a menu booklet commemorating the date. When another milestone moment comes, I wouldn't hesitate to return. I didn't take many pictures because I wanted to just be present, and it was so with just experiencing the scene. Thank you for making this such a special evening!

My friend booked Daniel for my birthday , and it was absolutely incredible! The food was amazing, the ambiance felt like a royal palace, and the service was impeccable. From the moment I walked in until the end, every staff member wished me Happy Birthday—the emotional value was off the charts! 💖 Great food, stunning atmosphere, and top-tier service—truly an unforgettable experience! 🥂

Our evening at Daniel NYC began on a high note with a warm welcome and a stunning ambiance—certainly among the city’s best settings for fine dining. We opted for the seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings, hoping for an unforgettable culinary journey. However, as the evening progressed, the dishes fell surprisingly short on flavor, leaving much to be desired in taste and creativity. Additionally, the service, while polished, lacked genuine engagement. Some servers seemed to be going through the motions, delivering rehearsed lines rather than showing true attentiveness to the guests. While the setting is exceptional, the overall experience felt more style than substance.

We celebrated our anniversary at Daniel, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The nine-course tasting menu was an adventure in fine dining, with each dish showcasing meticulous attention to detail and an incredible depth of flavor. From the first bite to the last, the food was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with the staff making us feel special throughout the evening. Every course was beautifully presented That said, while we appreciated the abundance and variety of the tasting menu, it was quite a lot of food! By the end, we were overwhelmed, which slightly detracted from fully savoring the final courses. Overall, Daniel exceeded our expectations in almost every way, delivering a luxurious and celebratory dining experience. It’s a place we’ll fondly remember and highly recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary journey—just come prepared for a feast!

I consider one of the best restaurants in the whole world. Firstly the interior designer is impressive with such a nice taste for art and the wood panels in organic lines. It’s sublime, you feel that you are in an Italian Palazzo, but a modern one. The staff is beyond friendly, they are well prepared. Sydney was very certain and confident about the wines and made the right choices for both of us. I love to find people passionate about what they do in life, this makes a huge difference. We chose the option in the menu with 5 courses, all them extremely well presented and deliciously each one. We only missed a piano as background, but the atmosphere was so welcoming and the other guests so respectfully quiet that we felt honoured to be in the middle. Highly recommend this restaurant for everyone that wants a nice dinner and gastronomic experience in French cuisine in Manhattan. My partner is French, and he approved everything and agreed with my feedback. We will definitely will return next time in NY.

From the moment I sat down, I felt uncomfortable, but I thought perhaps it was me being bourgeoisie (I frequent a lot of upscale places in the city). Then, not only did I watch the bartenders have conversations with everyone around me and make me feel invisible, food took forever to come, and I was POISONED! By the time my dessert came, I was too sick to enjoy it 😮‍💨 I ordered the very mediocre Crab cakes and had to be walked to get in my car due to being ill. Spend my weekend sick and ended up in the hospital. Dizziness, nausea, irregular breathing... you name it. I don't recommend it for people of color especially.👎🏽 Out of over a thousand reviews I left on Google, I never had to leave one like this and hate having to do it, but never experienced this in NYC ever and I'm a native Manhattan resident!

I was really excited to go here because I am a big Housewives of New York fan and they always go here in the show. We sat at the bar and had a couple drinks that were ridiculously expensive. Like, comical. Decided not to get food because the vibe was just off. The patrons around us were insufferable. I finally worked the nerve up to ask the bartender if the housewives still come around and I could tell he was NOT happy to be asked that question. Like geez my bad dude, at least feign some interest. Glad I went just to say I did it but I would not go back. Ended up getting dinner at Carnegie Diner and it was fab.

Good addition to an East side restaurant wasteland... Very pleasant and more casual remake of the hotel's restaurant that we remember well. Nice bar menu of sliders, French fries, snacks. Serve complimentary nuts and popcorn with very good cocktails, done with a fun summer tropical twist. Yummy steaks and grilled fish. Large chef's salad was tasty and fresh. Indulged in cheese cake, chocolate ganache and a heavenly lemon tart among many good desserts!

It is great to see Cafe Boulud re-opened again. We have always loved this restaurant, and today, for our first visit back, we had Thanksgiving dinner here in their new space. All of us had a wonderful time! The food was excellent and the service was great as usual. Cafe Boulud was packed for Thanksgiving day meals. Overall, it's a great experience. We will definitely be returning. The bar area of this restaurant in particular is stunning!

My husband and I went to Cafe Boulud for the first time and had a great experience. Our reservation was later than the time we arrived but the people at the door were very nice to give us a table early. The service was exceptional, the server answered all our questions about the menu. The food and drinks were delicious! Particularly, the drinks were at a very reasonable price. We completed our experience with some desserts, we had to order more than one because we couldn't decide on which to order. We would definitely go back.

We attended the pre-gala new year’s eve dinner. We were promptly seated when we arrived early for our reservation. The food was good, but not amazing. Small portions, as expected, and beautiful presentation. From a service perspective, the restaurant neglected to offer or bring us bread and butter until we requested it at the end of our appetizer course. In similar fashion, we were not asked if we wanted coffee before our dessert course so we ordered coffee when the dessert arrived at our table. This left us waiting for the coffee for quite a bit and we felt rushed as the next course would come right as we finished the last one as well. Overall, I’d recommend Cafe Boulud, but for the price point I think you can find other restaurants that have amazing food and better paced service.

You can see the staff’s passion reflected in their outstanding service and the beautifully designed restaurant interior! The food, while being mostly good, was not super memorable and I personally don’t think it was worth the price point this restaurant operated at. The two friends I went with also agreed. Good flavors, beautiful interior, excellent service overall

The short version: The mains we ordered were overpriced and were average at best. The desserts were excellent. My recommendation, skip the mains and go straight for dessert! The long version: This was the first time we went to Cafe Boulud since it reopened in the space previously occupied by the sadly closed Vaucluse. We had enjoyed the previous iteration of Cafe Boulud so looked forward to trying it at the new location. The decor was pleasant enough and we were seated at the higher end of the restaurant. I thought, great, the quiet end. Unfortunately, it was next to the private dining room where someone was obviously having a party, with loud music leaking through to the main dining area, killing the mellow ambiance. Our server was very efficient, but sadly the rest of the service was not. We were sat next to another party of two and placed our order maybe a minute before they did. They received their order first, we waited, then waited and waited some more for our order. It came out maybe half an hour after the other patrons' order. Admittedly, the server was rather embarrassed by the wait and the manager came over to apologise and offer complimentary drinks, which was nice. Except, my partner's wine glass was refilled instantly, but my mocktail order didn't come until after we finished our main course... So, what were the amazingly complex main courses that we had ordered? A croque madame and smoked salmon eggs benedict... They had to be amazing right? After all it had taken over an hour to get to the table. The eggs benedict was lukewarm, served on rounds of cornbread, which was interesting feature but sadly uninteresting to eat. My gold standard for a croque madame is the long gone Brasserie Magritte and runner up was the cheese loaded one at the more recently closed Almond. Cafe Boulud's version was no where even close to either, okay at best, but absurdly priced at $45, but hey, it was at least hot. The one saving grace to this meal was dessert, that's what the 3 stars are for in the review. The foret noire, mont blanc and lemon tart were excellent, I commend your pastry chef(s)! And ironically enough the 3 of them only cost $45. Should I return, I'll be skipping straight to desserts.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, Tony's Di Napoli is an absolute must-visit! From start to finish, this place delivers in every possible way. The homemade pasta is nothing short of perfection – the Baked Ziti with meat sauce was hands-down the best pasta dish I’ve ever tasted. The meat sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, making every bite a delight. The "Tony's Shrimp" was an absolute showstopper – perfectly cooked and mouthwatering in every sense of the word. The portion sizes are incredibly generous; when they say a full portion feeds two to three, they mean it—more like three to four people! This makes it not only a delicious experience but also an incredible value. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The service was solid and complemented the overall experience well. Tony's Di Napoli is a gem that deserves all the praise it gets and more. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine. I can't wait to return!

This Italian restaurant is a fantastic spot for a delicious meal. The menu offers a wide variety of options, catering to different tastes and preferences. A unique feature is their portion sizes—you can choose between half orders, perfect for one person, or full orders, which are ideal for sharing with 2-3 people. The salads are always fresh, adding a healthy and crisp touch to the dining experience. While the service isn’t overly friendly, it’s efficient enough to ensure a smooth visit. Overall, I highly recommend this place, particularly this specific location, for its great food and thoughtful portion options.

Tony's Di Napoli is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Manhattan. I've been to the location in Times Square many times, but never to this location on 3rd Avenue. This location has seating on the main level, and also on the lower level. The main level decor's is more modern, and the lower level has more of an older style, similar to their 43rd Street location. We had the Zucchini Fritti and the Sauteed Shrimp with Fra Diavolo sauce for appetizers. Both were excellent, and honestly, better than the entrees. For entree, I had the Chicken Parmigiana. It was very good, but not as good as their Eggplant Parmigiana that I had previously tried. The restaurant is the perfect restaurant for a family dinner in the city. They have plenty of seating, and the service is good. I do prefer the ambiance in the Times Square location, but it's sometimes difficult to find last-minute reservations there.

We came here the night before running the NYC Marathon. It was the perfect place to fuel up on carbs! It was a nice, big, family friendly restaurant with plenty of space for our large group. We had one of the specials and it was seriously so delicious. I loved the Caesar salad! My only critique is the service was a little slow. I had a Diet Coke and was never offered a refill, despite being charged $7. Anytime we wanted something we had to track someone down. That being said the staff was friendly.

Wonderful Family Style Italian Upper East Side. Veal Saltimbocca & Chicken Parmigiana were delicious, as well as the Eggplant rigatoni. Try the grilled octopus for a starter, you won't be disappointed!

All of food is way too good that I had to over rate more than what we experienced. BUT, I must say that verbal menu must be written with each price. All most $200 for fish over $100 for pasta are TOO MUCH. Also the system of waiters must be improved. He was asking what drinks to order 4 times to me while my friend is in a restroom. No rulls at all!

Amazing experience! Johnny was the best server. All of the staff is experienced and a pro. It's not "modern," it's old-school, authentic Italian. The specials are extensive too. I'd come back here in a hot second!!

It's not funny but funny in a sad way . One of the best meals I had in the 80s was at the Drake Hotel, when Jean Georges was the chef, with a group of my fellow staff from the River Cafe. We were blown away. It was so good. The last time I ate at JoJo was probably in the 90s since I'm rarely in the upper east side. But I've certainly been to other Jean George restaurants downtown and many of the places the Tin building. Hence my shock at some of the dishes we had the other night at JoJo. Pinky toe crab dumplings sounded amazing, but were thoroughly disappointing when it hit the table. It looked like a bowl of beige liquid. The lemongrass flavor was very one note and overwhelming. The dumplings were uninteresting. There was no garnish. Just a sad looking dish. The Greek salad with beets was almost worse. Any NY diner makes a more appetizing and certainly more generous Greek salad albeit without beets. It was flat and skimpy with an acrid dressing. Ridiculous at a restaurant of this "caliber" and cost to ask how a guest wants the fish done and then not cook it the way they asked for. For the record medium rare was requested and well done was how it arrived. My charred duck was indeed blackened but the skin was not crisp. It was flabby and inedible. The only decent dish was the chicken. Although the potatoes tasted briny which was odd, but may have been the intent. The waitress accidentally showered us with champagne which she was very apologetic for. It may have been a blessing since they comped the terrible appetizers as a nice gesture. It's crazy to me that a chef with such a great reputation let's his staff drop the ball on keeping up his standards. Oh, and the acoustics were crazy loud. So noisy.

Jo Jo was our spontaneous choice after I unsuccessfully tried to book a table at 10 other locations. I decided on an early dinner at 5:00 once I found a table. We adjusted our plans and arrived at the restaurant, which is located in a charming neighborhood and occupies a small, cozy building. We were seated downstairs but later checked out the upper floor, which has windows and a bright, airy vibe. For a casual lunch with friends, I’d recommend the cozy corner tables upstairs — perfect for relaxed chats or fun gossip. For our date night, however, the downstairs seating was ideal. The eclectic and stylish atmosphere, enhanced by beautiful lighting, made it feel intimate and special. I truly admired the use of monochromatic tones and the thoughtful design of the space. Our dining experience was wonderful! The ambiance was warm and inviting, blending coziness with elegance and making us feel instantly at ease. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and everything we tried was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I loved the warm shrimp salad, and the crunchy, spicy tuna roll was a hit. The pasta with mushrooms had a unique twist thanks to its seasoning, and the carrots, served as a garnish, were a delightful option for those who prefer more vegetables. Although I lately skip dessert, I couldn’t resist the chocolate flan with a molten center and ice cream on the side. And since legend has it that Jean-Georges himself invented it, we couldn’t argue — it would’ve been impolite in his house! The service was outstanding. The staff worked together as a team — one waiter kept our glasses full, another ensured the table was spotless, and a third presented and served the dishes beautifully. Their teamwork was impressive! Bravo! Whether you’re looking for a casual meal with friends or a special night out, Jo Jo is a fantastic choice. I can’t wait to visit again!

I’m really impressed with this place! The small plates are beautiful, each one different, and the decor is elegant，just right for someone like me👸🏻 The appetizers were flavorful, though the chicken wasn’t the best. But for a restaurant week menu, there’s not much to complain about. The service was great, I’ll definitely be coming back to here

My husband and I dined at JoJo many times, and it continues to be one of our favorite go-to spots, along with other Jean-Georges restaurants. As someone who mostly eats organic food, I truly appreciate that JoJo emphasizes mostly organic, clean, and locally sourced ingredients. This commitment to quality highlights the restaurant’s focus on freshness and sustainability, making it an excellent choice for anyone who cares about what they eat. The warm, casual atmosphere at JoJo creates an inviting space for any occasion—whether it’s a relaxed date night or a casual dinner with friends. The service is consistently exceptional, with friendly staff who always make us feel welcome. Overall, JoJo delivers a delightful dining experience that we look forward to enjoying time and again.

The food here was very good. The salmon was top notch and cooked to perfection. The upper floor was just lovely being inside a townhouse. The service although very nice, was slow, where they checked in on us way too much in the beginning and then disappeared for an hour with no update. It's August, but it was uncomfortably hot in there. I enjoyed my meal very much, but wouldn't rush back.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at David Burke’s Tavern on Christmas Eve. The service was absolutely terrible. Our waiter Richard N. was not only inattentive but outright rude, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. It was shocking, especially on a holiday evening when you expect a certain level of warmth and professionalism. The overall experience was soured by this lack of basic hospitality, and unfortunately, it overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal. As you can see from the pictures we tried everything from the Clothes line Bacon and the Lobster Dumplings to the Dry-aged Porterhouse which were all cold but delicious. If Chef David Burke truly cares about the reputation of his restaurant, I would highly encourage him or his management team to reach out to me to hear more about my experience and hopefully address these serious service issues. This was far from the experience I was expecting especially since I had a very positive experience at the Park Ave location. Unfortunately I won’t be returning unless there’s a genuine effort to improve.

We stopped by here during restaurant week for their unorthodox set up where patrons sit side by side like at a bar. The mussels were well seasoned and tasted great. Both the tartare and the scallops were crafted well and rich in flavors. I look forward to coming back here again

Excellent service, we had tuna tare, tomato salad, bison short rib pasta. Excellent all around. Our server bartender was amazing. Drinks perfect. Ac was not working well, the high tops where not ment for sitting and chatting as two old friends. You had to sit side by side. Dave being a big fellow, these seats sucked. Ac out fail. But u are one heck of a chef and the food was amazing. David is probably the only chef id allow to get away with these short comings as a restaurant owner & chef. Kinda ridiculous, big guy.

Very nice experience at the David Burke Tavern, we visited during restaurant week. The food was nice, and the staff friendly. The salad was very tasty, then we had the swordfish which was a little overcooked and the chicken BLT sandwich, bacon was a tad bit dry and felt also overcooked. We did not get dessert.

I went here for a team lunch. We had a private dining room. We enjoyed a short menu which consisted of a salad, main dish and dessert (2 or 3 options each). I LOVED that the menus had our company name on it which was a very nice personal touch. I'd definitely go back! I enjoyed a different salad, steak main and apple pie for dessert.

Not exactly the original ray's, but with is infamous name, they sling decent pies like most other pizza shops in the city. I've stopped in here several times for a slice. It's pretty close to quintessential nyc pizza. I appreciate that they go beyond just plain and pepperoni. Garlic knots are pretty good too. Nice enough guys behind the counter and any slice is good as long as you ensure it hasn't sat there for too long. I've had a miss or two. The oven reheat can only do so much.

Good tasty pizza. I do recommend if you're hungry and need a quick bite. Slices are large. Nice selection of toppings. The dough was a bit too thick, which made it taste a little raw. Thank you to all the workers. It is so hot in there, my brain almost melted.

The food was good. I tried the Sunny bowl and was surprised at first by the presentation and second by the flavor. Everything worked so well together and each bite just got better and better. They have nice things in the menu for kids and adults. I would love to bring my kids to try the mini pancakes. They definitely looked amazing.

Pros: nice atmosphere. A reasonably okay pane au chocolate Cons: waitress seemed to have a personal blood feud against me on entry. Unclear why. Snatched the menu away before I could order food, so I had to ask for it back. Was generally displeased at us. Best bit was I handed her my card and then she gave the card reader to my husband !! I had to grab it across the table. I had a tomato sandwich which was awful. My husband had stale bread in his skillet (at a bakery). Go somewhere else !

A very handsome place to visit for drinks, cigars, dinner, and music! It's the perfect compromise to take a date and comfortably smoke a cigar and have drinks. I'm not a smoker but my hubby is, so whenever I go with him he knows it needs to be a place that has a good ventilation system. And this one does. I was able to enjoy dinner while he looked forward to trying sum of their signature cigars. I would definitely visit here again! We were in NYC for two weeks and we enjoyed our time here so much we went twice! Thank u for the diverse playlist! It kept us singing and vibing all night!

Three of us came here to celebrate a birthday and its a nice cigar lounge. Decor is good. However the servers are very cold. They serve drinks by measuring them. We had to order more than 5 rounds of single malt to really enjoy our cigars. . I have never been to a high end bar which doesn't have free pour. Food is nice. Overall its a decent place. Not sure if I will be back.

We got a table for 4 on Dec 30, 2023 for cigars and drinks. Nice corner table and it was very comfortable. We had such a fantastic and memorable night. The club had high quality cigars and made great drinks. I loved the design of the club. It’s a high end design, while maintaining a chill and laidback vibe. Lastly - excellent service by the team.
