5 Star Rating Even being busy during the lunch hour, the service was fast and great. I never regret to stop for a burger from them. Great food, tasty and fresh. The lemonade was refreshing. You can’t go wrong with Shake Shack if you are looking for a quality burger. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

5 Star Rating Read about the roots of this restaurant and got a chance to try it. I was skeptical eating a good burger in a park shack, but along the with staff responsiveness and professionalism, the burger was OUTSTANDING. Excellent balance of ingredients and perfect preparation and taste of the hamburger meat. I was SO surprised and relished each and every bite. Staff were exceptional

4 Star Rating I tried Shake Shack after hearing so much about it, and honestly, it didn't disappoint. The cheese and sauce on the burger were really good, making it stand out from other places. Although the burger seemed a bit small, you have the option to double up on the patty. The fries were just right, not too dry or overly seasoned. It's a solid choice for a meal, especially with its location in Madison Park adding a nice touch.

5 Star Rating My family and I came here for my brother’s birthday after making a reservation weeks in advance. When you make the reservation, make sure you’re choosing the right menu because the front of the Tavern serves their more casual fare whereas the back rooms host their tasting menu. We had the tasting menu - a 5 course menu. Each course had 2 dishes you could choose from: one that’s meat based and one that’s vegetarian. We also opted for the seafood starter tray which had the best shrimp I’ve ever had. My favorites of the menu were the squid ink pasta with lobster and the sea bass which had an Asian flavor profile that was both delicate and bold in flavor. Delicious! Shout out to Caroline who was a fantastic server that night and made our experience so fun! The place was clean and had a very casual vibe which I loved because I get annoyed by the pretentious vibe of fine dining restaurants. The staff were all professional and friendly. My only issue is that the place is so large and open that if you’re a group of 5 or more and are seated at a large table, the place gets a lot of echo, which makes it hard to have quiet conversations with the whole table. But, it’s great for intimate tables for 2 people who are seated close to each other. I absolutely plan to come back and try the vegetarian options of their tasting menu.

5 Star Rating Amazing experience We had the 5 course menu with wine pairing and cheese plate. All the food was amazing and the service was great. I will say the cheese plate didn't seem worth it both in the types of cheese given and the presentation. Other than that we had a great time. As a vegetarian I really appreciated the options for each course.

5 Star Rating The food quality was undeniably excellent, with standout dishes like the lumache with royal red shrimps and hanger steak leaving a lasting impression. However, the portion sizes were disappointingly small, leaving me craving more after each bite. The hanger steak, while flavorful, was overshadowed by the incredible side of mushrooms, kale, and pickled shallots. On a brighter note, the dessert, particularly the chocolate cream pie, was a sweet conclusion to the meal, and I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail even in their bread. Despite the small portions, the flavors and execution of the dishes were commendable, making it a worthwhile dining experience for those with a lighter appetite or a penchant for quality over quantity. While the food at the restaurant was undoubtedly impressive, the overall dining experience was slightly marred by the service. Although the waitstaff were friendly, the service was merely okay and could be improved. There was a noticeable delay in receiving our bread, as we waited for our waitress for quite some time.

5 Star Rating Great overall experience in the dining room, We had the Chef Du Jour... a 5 course prix fixe selection of seasonal menu items, and the kitchen did not disappoint with the flavors! Everything jumped off the plate. It's a bit pricey for the portions, but more than made up for by the service, execution and attentionto detail. Would definitely return.

5 Star Rating First, we were 30 minutes late at the end of the night on a Thursday and the staff were so polite and accommodating! Special thank you Kim! You are amazing, so pleasant. We were a party of 6: Food: -Burger (they need to serve with French fries and not be obsessed with duck fat) 3.875 out 5) -Beet starter. 5 out 5 -Cauliflower and leak soup: this soup was confused and salty. I actually bit a raw piece of potato. Would not order again. 3 out of 5. - flatbread starter 5 out of 5 - Brick chicken 5 out of 5 - pasta with butter for our 15 yr old - chef must have been confused and used an aged cheese - it didn’t just have butter. -Arctic Char - cooked correctly but lacking flavour - order the chicken instead - baked cookie 5 out of 5 - pear upside down cake 5 out of 5 Very good and reliable restaurant- the service alone is enough to get me in the door.

5 Star Rating the service here is the best I have ever had in my life. the food was good as were the drinks. before arriving I was wondering if I would feel it was worth the cost after leaving I definitely felt so. we were so fortunate to have the chef pop by our table and to sneak a peek at the kitchen. the staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, generous, and helpful. would recommend going here for sure.

5 Star Rating 11 Madison Park was the perfect choice for a special occasion. • This restaurant provides a unique experience with its tasting menu focused on innovative vegan cuisine. • Each meticulously crafted dish was a delight, showcasing the chef's creativity and skill. • The interior exudes an elegant yet warm ambiance, complemented by the attentive and knowledgeable staff. • As a memorable treat, I was invited into the kitchen to witness the magic firsthand and had the privilege of meeting the renowned Chef Dominique Roy. • It was a truly exceptional dining experience from start to finish.

5 Star Rating A surprise birthday dinner at 11 Madison Park. And … yes for all those who are vegan, vegetarian and those who are open minded about culinary inventions, do go to this place at least once! What an experience, from the minute you sit down from the bar to the dining table, the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is one of excitement, relaxed and fun at the same time. The wine pairing is amazing. I had the best wines with our meal.The food is simply mind blowing; delicate,decadent, beautifully prepared and presented. You just keep eating and drinking non stop, the dishes just keep coming. Highly highly recommended!!

I didn’t want to eat the sunflower shaped butter because it was so beautiful. Every single dish presented was a tiny work of art that was carefully designed.

5 Star Rating Phenomena! This is a dining experience of a lifetime that is taking fine dining to a different level. I have been at many fine dining restaurants but this restaurant has elevated the experience by combining the art of food with the unique and specific ingredients that are plant based. I chose dining at the lounge as it feels more intimate and offers less number of dishes. Guests in the main dining area are greeted in a similar fashion as the Japanese tradition; irasshaimase. While, I assume that the guests in the lounge receive the same quality of service as in the main dining area. We were so fortunate that the chef sat near us while meeting someone and we could hear him talking about his vision. When you know there is so much passion has put into the whole idea of being vegan and sustainability, it makes you appreciate the dining experience hundred folds more. The staff are super nice and the food is delivered with care. You will receive the description of each dish and its ingredients. We savored every bite, the aroma and the presentation. We are so happy and grateful that we were able to dine here.

5 Star Rating Excellent Meal . Had a nice Greek salad with Salmon on top. The lettuce was very fresh and had a nice crunch . Salmon was very nicely portioned . Salmon was good but have had better . It was very nice to be in a new place. My waiter was very nice . Had this tart like dessert . Was prepared so nicely . But it was not my kinda of taste. My waiter felt bad and offered me a little AD drink just to make me happy. Was extremely impressed with the service. Beautiful restaurant . Will happily eat again.

4 Star Rating Came here for the first time and enjoyed the experience - notably it gets packed and very loud so just something to keep in mind. Service is pretty fast and efficient and I loved all of the dishes I tried. The mezze is wonderful with the fresh bread - especially the smoked trout! I went with the crab benedict which was pretty good overall. I will say I was expecting a crab-cake as opposed to the crab-meat on creamed spinach but I still did enjoy the flavors. Would definitely want to try more on the menu the next time I'm back!

5 Star Rating My hubby booked a reservation at 5pm, we arrived at 430pm and they seated us. This was perfect as the restaurant was just getting ready for dinner time. We ordered our drinks first and waited to order our food. The drinks were delicious! I ordered the Smoking Fruit and it was perfect! My hubby ordered the Caribbean Old Fashioned, needless to say he was also happy with his drink. Appetizers were great we had grilled Portuguese octopus. It was cooked to perfection and was a good portion! All I can say is scrumptious yummyness! Then my hubby had a beef soup which was the special of the day. He was happy either way it! Again I thought it was a tad bit salty. For our entrees i had the grilled Atlantic salmon. It was perfectly grilled to retain its moisture and flavor. It was perfectly paired with baby Brussel sprouts, radishes and earthy wild mushrooms. The black truffle vinaigrette added some savory notes, fully completing the dish! My hubby ordered the slow cooked short rib tagine. The meat was tender and succulent infused with delicious spices. He loved it! I thought it was just a tad salty. The homemade couscous was fluffy and just delicious, paired perfectly with the short rib. The atmosphere was wonderful!! Beautifully decorated and just great. It was nice especially because we came early! By the time we left, it was full. We will definitely return to try other dishes or maybe just have a drink at the bar.

5 Star Rating We were seated at 515pm without reservation in the busy holiday season by a very friendly head waiter. She gave us the table until 7pm. Just the time we needed. Our server was very nice, friendly and warm. Mackerel and broccoli for starters, both exquisite. Chicken, trout and rigatoni with rabbit ragu for mains, all three super tasty, well prepared and filling. We shared an order of potatoes for the trout and chicken, that was more than enough and we even took . The tiramisu dessert was nothing less than sensationally good. Summary: excellent high end comfort food in a friendly, classic setting. The vibe of the place feels local and less touristy or stressed than similar places in the area. Will come back many times.

Not to mention our server William was incredible and very knowledgeable about all the menu items. He recommended the “something essential drink” when I had no idea what I wanted and it was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while - also a very pretty drink.

4 Star Rating I came here with two others on a cold Saturday night. The restaurant was packed and very cozy. The type of place you look in through the window it seems like everyone is having a lovely time. I live in the same neighborhood and hadn’t been here in over five years. I had sort of written it off but I was wrong. Our server was lovely, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. The food was delicious. The gnocchi was some of the best I have come across in recent times. I will be back and I would recommend. Only downside is that the steak was fatty and the the tables are very close to one another.

5 Star Rating We had a wonderful experience at Vallata on Saturday night, celebrating some personal successes among our group. We arrived about 30 mins early to have a drink at the bar, but opted to be seated and begin our evening a table directly in front of the open kitchen- perfect for our night (thank you to the hostess). By the time me and and my wife received our first round of Forst Italian Pilsner and a rosé for her, we had met three members of the staff (Christian got us started with amazing service) and we recognized that this restaurant had, quite possibly, the best music mix of any location we had dined and recently. Our friends arrived and drinks kept coming. We coursed our own meal out, which was so nice to be allowed to do so. We started with Whipped Ricotta and Arancini, both were our favorites of the evening. Arancini was better than what we had in Rome, while admittedly a different style. Our guests shared a cacio e pepe for a main, while I ordered the Paccheri with Fennel Sausage and Broccoli Rabe. Mine was was slightly undercooked below al dente, too chewy, but delicious flavor. My wife’s delicious steak arrived about 6 minutes after our pastas arrived, which was slightly disappointing, as we all chose to wait. En lieu of ordering dessert I explored down the beer list further, ordering the Baladine and Del Ducato IPAs. I love the Italian beer portfolio from B United but have found the hops offered on draft to move beyond earthy into oxidized and sherry like. This isn’t unique to this location. The “American Style IPA” tasted great, as the alcohol content masks the slightly sweet hop atrophy. All in all, an incredible and wonderfully hospitable time at Vallata and we can’t wait to return… and try some dessert next time.

4 Star Rating Very nice Italian pasta restaurant (by Tom Coliccio from Food Network's Top Chef) with a relaxing & inviting setting in the flatiron district. We tried two appetizers and three pasta selections (there's only a few vegetarian options so we replaced sausage for anchovies in one dish), and all were good. Would not recommend the wine & pasta special as the house wines weren't up to the quality of the pasta. Service was very good.

5 Star Rating Please do yourself a favor and come here on an empty stomach. By far, this was some of the best, well cooked, perfectly seasoned food we have tasted. You’ll be well taken care of by an attentive, well versed staff, fed by a well trained and personable chef, and eventually you’ll reluctantly leave wishing you could stay. An experience we won’t soon forget.

3 Star Rating I wasn’t sure how to rate Vallata because I was technically there with a friend for their collab with Win Son, but ended up trying both restaurant’s food. I’m definitely not under the impression that Italian food in NY is fairly priced, especially in a restaurant. I just felt that the $25 brunch pasta dish I ordered would fill me up enough until dinner perhaps? Not so much. I ordered the pasta with anchovies, fennel, puntarelle mushrooms, and cured olives. While I enjoyed the umami flavors, I felt that there’s no way a dish like this can be worth $25 and I still end up hungry afterwards. My friend ordered the $17 glorified lettuce salad, which was probably the most unfairly priced considering it was just lettuce with some dressing and seasoning. The service was great though – the servers were enthusiastic even, also being attentive to our glasses of water, asking about dietary restrictions, and answering questions. One of the other saving graces was the cannoli cream bomboloni we ordered and split in two. The cream was rich and clearly used high quality ricotta, and the donut itself was light and had a citrusy taste to it as if infused with peel. The second saving grace was the 2 Win Son scallion pancake sandwiches I ordered to go, but I do wish they came with the signature ginger sauce and the nice carton box rather than really thick plastic containers.

5 Star Rating I love the beef short rib. Very satisfying. I like the trout, gnocchi with truffle. Burgundy truffle is a little too mild for me. I like white alba truffle the most, is the most aromatic for me. Manager Tianna is amazing and goes above and beyond. I appreciate her greatly for creating me an off menu tropical desert. Exactly what I love

3 Star Rating Service was spot on... There when needed but not overly aggressive. Although it's weird to me that you can't order appetizers and then your main course later but that's really a small quibble. Food was tasty but not amazing. Grilled octopus was not chewy but still have yet to find one better than Ostra in Boston. Mushroom risotto was the best dish we had. Brussels sprouts ok. Chicken was good and scallops were well cooked although gritty. Dessert was meh. My souffle was liquid in the center and creme brulee was just OK. Wines were amazing and pairing reccomendations were on point! Overall nothing was terrible but at the price point and with a Top Chef judge, I expect to be wowed and other than the risotto, wine and service we weren't.

5 Star Rating We had a truly lovely time at Craft. In a place that could’ve felt prohibitively pretentious we felt welcome and relaxed. The food was spot on, what you would expect from a celebrity chef in New York City with this legacy. -The squash and burratta was our favorite -The short ribs were our second favorite -Our soufflé was cooked perfectly but I didn’t save enough room for dessert -No amuse bouche -A wrapped pastry to go was produced from a basket at the host stand. Was tasty! -Bring more people to try more things! -They were out of scalloped potatoes and we didn’t dig the suggested alternative of aligot -Wish we were in a wine mood as the lovely Beverage Director Cheron would have certainly steered us to pairing heaven! Besides the culinary excellence, the part that we cherished the most was the warm service, especially from the clearly beloved-by-all Cesar!! We were sat about 20 minutes after our 8:15 reservation but our long leisurely dinner made up for it and made my husbands birthday celebration extra special.

5 Star Rating We were apprehensive initially thinking it could be touristy. But when we go there everything changed. Hope, our hostess was so amazing. She helped us choose Queso Fundido, perhaps one of the most delicious dishes I’ve eaten ever. Thank you folks.

5 Star Rating Such good Mexican food! I ordered the chicken tacos, which came with a salsa and side of rice and beans. Flavorful, juicy, and fresh. My friend ordered the TikTok birria tacos, which she said were amazing. We both ordered cocktails- I had the passion fruit margarita which was sweet and tangy. Such a good meal!

5 Star Rating Today two co-workers and I dined at a brand new restaurant on its 11th day. We visited Dos Caminos in Lexington Avenue and 46th Street. We began lunch with two beers & sprite , as an appetizer guacamole salsa and chips. Giulio ordered the quesadilla which he said was very savory . Fritzi ordered the birria tacos and so did I . I asked for mine to come on flour tortillas they made it on corn but it was still great tasty not spicy fantastic tacos. Lunch for 3 with a tip was $150 but that's what's expected on Park avenue in New York City. Great place and just absolutely beautiful restaurant inside ❤️

2 Star Rating Ate her today & it seems like pretty authentic Mexican. Food and cocktails were decent (spicy cucumber mint.) The first initial service by the hostess was horrible. She basically forgot about us & didn’t seem to care; even when my friend reminded her. We were about to leave until one of the waiters saw our distress & finally helped us! After that it was pretty good. Not my best but it’s a good eat.

5 Star Rating Came here for dinner on a weekday. The place was not super busy but I think reservations are better to be made or else you will be eating under a time constraint. Decor is super typical Russian, straight to USSR time. The waiters and waitresses all dressed to the place, and the dinnerware were all in same style. My friend said the menu has a bit more Ukrainian influences but I have no reference. We ordered majorly appetizers. Cherry Vareniki: the cherry dumplings perfectly made as my Russian reference friend said. Each dumpling contains a piece of cherry, mostly sweet and some are tart. The fruity fillings are enclosed with a slippery dumpling sheet and you eat it with the paired sour cream. With the popping of the cherry inside, you get the tartness and the sweetness and the creaminess blended with the smooth texture of dumpling. Borscht: the beet soup with beef cheek. The beef is tender and stringy, and the soup of full of aroma from the beet. When you melt the sour cream inside the borscht, the cream makes the soup less tangy and more harmonic to my palate. I soaked my rye bread (one of the healthiest bread in my opinion, so healthy that it is so heavy to eat) in the borscht to help breaking down some rye and added some moisture. The bread doesn’t absorb so much borscht flavor but it is a great combo. Herring under the fur coat: one of the favorite things to eat now. I hate herring before because when not cooked properly, the herrings can be super oily and fishy. But the carrots and the beets balance well with the herring and with the creamy potato and mayo and egg. Instead of getting the fishy flavor, you get umami from the fish: I can eat this all day. Blinis with beef: if I know crepes were this good when paired with meat I should do it sonner. The blinis were folded perfectly into squares with lots and lots of beef. The texture is almost cheesy, so creamy and meaty and indulging. The blinis itself was buttery and smooth, and when I topped with sour cream, it added a bit of tangy. The leaves paired on top were bitter, helped to cut down the over saturation of the fat heaven I am in. Potatoes with mushroom and onion: nothing can go wrong with caramelized onions and butter sautéed mushroom and potatoes (previously roasted I think). We ordered this because my friend was vegetarian but this classic dish was way better than expected. The garlic, dill, butter, and salt really came through. I especially dig the onions. Didn’t get to try their beef stroganoff and napoleon cake but I am sure I will be back soon sometime. So far no dish has failed me yet.

5 Star Rating If I can give 6 stars for this place, I will do that. Delicately decorated; great vibes; most importantly, superbly delicious food!! Even the Napoleon cake was tasty and authentic. The lamb chop I had was big; what a feast with meat! Oh yes and the price was also good. Very suitable for a romantic date if you are tired of French or Italian style restaurants.

5 Star Rating Mari Vanna is one of the best places I had ever went to for a Russian food. I’ve got Duck, Borscht, Khinkali and some drinks. Khinkali didn’t impressed me( I generally don’t like it) but all the rest was delicious. Highly recommend! Left 4⭐️only because we were waiting for a check a bit of time.

5 Star Rating I invited my old friends and clients for lunch on Christmas Eve. They wanted to try Russian food and found this place to be super interesting, elegant, classy, we loved the food. I have been there a few times in the past, the place still continues to be one of the best Russian themed restaurants in the city..

5 Star Rating Amazing Russian restaurant. Everything we ordered met or exceeded the expectations in terms of taste and flavor. Authentic Russian dishes. Best ones were Borscht, Olivier salad, beef tongue, Kotelett Kiev and beef stroganoff. I would not recommend to go for infused vodka shots. Instead - take normal vodka. A bit pricey, but worth it. Also a very cozy atmosphere with a lot of Russian interior elements. Very similar design as other Mari Vanna location (e.g. in London)
