Had such a wonderful experience at Per Se! We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and everything made the night feel so special. The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and every course felt very thoughtful. The service was also incredible — everyone was so attentive, warm, and welcoming throughout the dinner. Definitely one of the nicest dining experiences we’ve had in NYC!❤️

Absolutely incredible. I was alone as a “regular” person. Service was amazing. The food was absolutely incredible. The signature oysters and pearls is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The gentleman who did the wine pairings was so personable and educational without being pretentious or snobby. I loved every minute of this experience.

Had the opportunity to visit Per Se for an executive dinner with a small group. One of the biggest strengths of this place is its outstanding location and ambiance. The service was excellent, and the team took great care of us throughout the evening. The food presentation, quality, and detailed explanations from the staff were exceptional and reflected the restaurant’s fine dining standards. While the overall experience was memorable, there is still some room to enhance the taste profile of a few dishes, which could make the experience even more appealing to a wider audience.

We had a truly life changing experience at Per Se. As soon as we walked in we found the atmosphere very relaxing. Our server Gabriel was such a joy and made our experience so fun. The food was elegant and complex in the layers of different flavours. The desserts were unreal as well. We also enjoyed excellent wines which our sommelier helped us decide on. Altogether we had such a wonderful and romantic experience.

I can't imagine a much more opulent and elegant way to welcome the New Year. It is said, that you should welcome the new year in the way you would like your Year to be. Cheers to being off to a magnificent start! We also decided to do the recommended wine pairing which was a fantastic choice! Each dish was artfully created. Admittedly, one of my favorite aspects was the very thoughtfully curated gift bag we were sent home with. What a treat to enjoy on New Year's Day! The gift that keeps giving!

An outstanding dining experience. During our stay in New York, Marea was without question one of the culinary highlights of our trip. The combination of Italian cuisine and exceptional seafood is executed with remarkable precision. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The service was impeccable—professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. The dining room strikes the perfect balance between elegance and energy, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. Yes, Marea is a special-occasion restaurant, but the quality of the food, service, and overall experience more than justifies it. It is easy to understand why it has earned such an outstanding reputation over the years. For anyone looking for world-class Italian seafood in New York, Marea is a must-visit. We will definitely return on our next trip to the city. A special shout out to the lobster roll. It may not be the most sophisticated dish on the menu but it was hands down the best i’ve ever had. The branzino tartare was also exquisite with contrasting textures and flavors

Fantastic experience from start to finish. I’m so thankful that I found out about this place. The service and atmosphere are impeccable. The location is wonderful and the food is to die for! Everyone was so kind and attentive, especially with how considerate they were about our anniversary. This restaurant is a gem and the best time to find out was yesterday, but the second best time is now. I absolutely cannot wait to come back.

Amazing experience at Marea. The food was incredible and the hospitality was even better. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout the night. Special thanks to Julia, our sommelier, for the amazing service. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves great food and wine.

Absolutely spectacular place! I am still dreaming about the Branzino we started with, it was an explosion of flavor! Every dish we received was flavorful, bright, and beautifully dished. The place definitely gets packed, but for good reason. The service was great as well and very attentive. This is a place I would purposely go back to New York to experience again.

My first NYC trip and stop at one of the finest dinning in the city. Undoubtedly would visit again. Every course was meticulously prepared and presented. The attention to detail was beyond impressive. Thank you to all the staff who made this experience memorable.

Every time we go to Jean George it’s an amazing experience. We really enjoyed getting to chat with Patrick about the Comte cheese. We can’t wait to go back.

Amazing experience, but for a 2 Star Michelin, it needs some improvement! I was expecting something more intimate and the restaurant was packed. We were seated in a table with a long couch with two other families very close to us. We had the six course omnivore and two courses were disappointing: the caviar taste disappeared in the green garbanzo beans; the wagyu per se was tasteless and needs improvement! The last thing was the restroom, which was very basic and not compatible with the restaurant sophistication!
Wladimir Meskelis - a year ago

Wonderful and friendly staff. Delicious tasting menu. We selected the 6 course menu and we were not disappointed. Great selection of wine; but apparently they don’t offer wine and food pairing options.

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.

This is a great place. Second visit and highly recommended. Next time I think we’ll try to get a seat at the bar so we can watch the food being prepped. Today we had pork Shum’s, 12 piece sashimi, lobster rolls and fried chicken. Followed by ginger pudding. All great. Will be back.

At Blue Ribbon Sushi Restaurant, classic Japanese dishes are served à la carte, either at the sushi bar or in the authentic tatami rooms, which offer a great deal of privacy. The quality and flavor were outstanding, and the freshness of the fish convinced me again and again—so much so that we ended up dining there every evening. Unfortunately, this quality also comes at a price. At around $80 per person, it is not cheap, but the excellent service and the exceptional food fully justify the cost.
Nam Truong - 6 months ago

Across the board the service and food is always very good! Excellent cocktails, bourbon and wine lists. They have a wide variety of sushi. Don't like sushi...the you have to try their Fried Chicken it's outstanding.
Lester Bianco - 5 months ago

Excellent experience and high quality sushi. We ordered the baked clam appetizer which was fantastic! My husband and I both enjoyed the sushi (10) platters and tuna rolls we selected as well. Some of our favorite sushi were the mackerel, salmon, sea bream and fatty tuna. The service is fantastic and relaxing ambiance was refreshing in the bustling city.

We just had one of those rare dining experiences that makes you want to write a review on the spot. Blue Ribbon inside the Six Columbus Hotel is nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish we tried was a standout, starting with their legendary fried chicken appetizer. Juicy, crunchy, and with just the right kick of spice, it set the tone for the rest of the meal. We moved on to the wagyu gyoza, which was rich and savory, and the oxtail fried rice that was simply unforgettable. Add in the ginger-glazed ribs, a perfectly shared wagyu steak platter, and a lineup of fresh sushi that made my son’s evening, and you have a feast worth savoring. Drinks were just as stellar. The lychee martinis were a hit, the yuzu margarita was a revelation, and even the ginger sour mocktails delivered big on flavor. The ambiance and service, thanks in part to our fantastic server Air, and Andrew on her team made the evening truly memorable. In short, this was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Manhattan. Blue Ribbon is a must-visit, and we’ll definitely be back.

If you want to experience Italian-American comfort food at its finest, Patsy's Italian Restaurant in Midtown Manhattan is an absolute must. This iconic, family-owned gem has been serving up classic dishes since 1944, and it continues to deliver a memorable dining experience that feels straight out of a New York time capsule. The moment you walk through the doors, you're transported back to a nostalgic, warm atmosphere—photos of famous patrons like Frank Sinatra and The Sopranos cast cover the walls, reminding you that you're in a place with serious history. The ambiance is cozy, family-friendly, and full of character, offering that true old-school vibe that’s hard to find these days. But let’s talk about the food—wow. Every bite feels like a trip straight to Italy. The portions are generous (a true hallmark of Italian-American comfort food), and you can’t go wrong with the classics. We tried the Sal Special, and it was a revelation—fresh, flavorful, and packed with authenticity. The spaghetti and meatballs are legendary, and the veal parmigiana and chicken marsala are both absolute standouts. For dessert, the tiramisu is an indulgence you have to try. The service is friendly, attentive, and feels like dining with family, adding to the charm of the place. Be sure to make a reservation, especially before theater shows, as Patsy’s is always buzzing with hungry patrons looking to savor the iconic flavors. Whether you're a regular, a tourist, or just looking for a taste of old-school New York, Patsy’s will not disappoint. We can’t wait to go back!

I went to Patsy’s Italian Restaurant, just south of Central Park. A place that has been there since 1944. Places like this don’t survive by accident. They survive because they do things the right way, and they do them consistently. The room speaks before anyone says a word. Old-world. Respectful. The kind of atmosphere where conversations are low and the walls have heard everything. This is traditional Neapolitan cooking, the kind that doesn’t need to explain itself. It simply shows you. I ordered the Uccelletti Filet Mignon over pasta. When it arrived, I understood immediately. Rich, indulgent, unapologetic. Perfectly cooked filet, sauce that clings to the pasta the way it should. This is not a dish you argue with. You accept it, and you’re grateful. Just don’t bring your diet into this room—it won’t leave with you. I also tried the Chicken Fettuccine. Creamy, deep, comforting. The Rigatoni followed—solid, honest, done the way it has always been done. Every plate carried weight. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. The service was professional, quiet, and attentive. They know when to appear and when to disappear. That’s not taught in a day—you learn that over generations. Now I understand why Frank Sinatra loved this place. Men like that don’t waste their time. Patsy’s earns your trust the moment you sit down. If you’re looking for history, excellent food, and an atmosphere that commands respect, you come to Patsy’s. This is not just dinner. This is tradition

I come here every time i visit. I Wanted to show a friend a unique New York experience, So we stopped by Patsys for some deserts to go. Had Tiramisu and Toasted Almond Cake. Both were spectacular. Popped into the upstairs to see where Frank Sinatra liked to sit.

While in ny,I booked this restaurant for a night out solo. Staff were very attentive and the food was outstanding. Met Sal and bought one of the cook books. He even signed it for me. This is a must go to when you're there.
Kathy Green - 2 months ago

Disappointing value, even by Midtown standards. The food is average at best and doesn't justify the high price point. The Chicken Cacciatore was tough and dry, lacking the tenderness you'd expect. To top it off, the tiramisu was $16 for a tiny portion that was overwhelmingly creamy. You can easily find better quality and reasonable prices elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Amazing views and a wonderful meal! The server was incredibly kind and attentive. I visited during Restaurant Week, and it was such a memorable experience. I was a little worried that the cooked salmon might taste fishy, but it was absolutely delicious. On top of that, we were even treated to a complimentary dessert, which truly made the experience special. I visited as I’m about to graduate from my language school, and it turned into such a wonderful memory. I’d really love to come back one more time before I head home.

We have chosen this restaurant for my girlfriend’s birthday celebration and they didn’t disappoint us at all . Place has a nice beautiful view overlooking the Columbus circle area where the hustle of a city meets the calm of Central Park . Beautiful view. Service was outstanding. Our waiter Victor was very professional and very attentive , helpful and sweet ! It was so nice of him to provide kind of birthday treat for my girlfriend, like a plate with some small cakes with candles and her name written with chocolate. That was so sweet and it also was complimentary. Food was good, drinks were delicious. Atmosphere is so relaxing and enjoyable. There is beautiful piece of art on one of the walls in restaurant, which makes this place delightful as well. Also you can enjoy the live music vibes , which makes the experience even more wonderful. We loved everything about this place and we would definitely come back 🫶

This restaurant is so beautiful, it really matches the modern, artsy aesthetic of the museum it sits on top of (the Museum of Art and Design). The staff were amazing, they made a special event even more enjoyable, and were always ready to help. The desserts were really amazing, especially the cinnamon donut jokes, but the there was a limited vegetarian section for the main course.

Start with the wondrously prepared Beet Salad with Feta! We had Salmon and Bok Choy. Our waiter Victor made us feel so welcome and Janelle, the Hostess, went back to retrieve my bag so my son could finish a crossword! Then Elizabeth came with a delicious dessert! We loved this restaurant and will return soon! Thank you to everyone at ROBERT for a very cool New York City Dining Experience!

Delicious, authentic Cuban food! We enjoyed yucca frites, empanadas and ropa veja. The chicken empanadas weren't our favorite because the shredded chicken tasted bland. We did like the crust. The frites and ropa veja were amazing. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would go back. Great service with several members of staff. We never wanted for anything
Angi DeSpee - a month ago

Had a nice meal at Guantanamera Cuban Restaurant in Manhattan. The black bean soup was solid as expected. The ropa vieja was tasty but the portion was a bit small. The Cuban chicken sandwich had good flavor, but the chicken was overcooked and tough to chew. Overall, a good spot for Cuban food. **8/10**.

Great solid Cuban food with such a fun vibe and amazing mojitos! Located in Midtown right near Central Park and Columbus Circle, this spot is perfect for dinner, drinks, and live music. I loved their coconut mojito! Some favorites we tried: • Camarones al Ajillo — shrimp in a garlic wine sauce • Ropa Vieja — shredded skirt steak braised in tomato sauce with onions and peppers, served in a plantain basket • Rabo Encendido — tender oxtail braised in red wine sauce with mashed sweet plantains • Tres Leches cake for dessert They also have lunch specials and a prix fixe menu. 🎶 Daily live music: Sun–Thu: 8:30 PM – 12 AM Fri & Sat: 9:30 PM – 12:30 AM

A good no nonsense little restaurant with live music and a full bar. We tried the skirt steak with chimmichurri sauce and was a but pricey but comes with a generous portion of white rice and black beans. Ordered a side of fried plantains and was oooh sooo goooood!!!! The plus? Their kitchen is open late, until 12am!

This spot is one of the best places I’ve been to in a long time. The service was great, thanks to our server named Owen but the food was incredible. If I could give it a higher rating I would. I’ve been talking about it to ALL my friends and family, that’s how much I enjoyed it. I got the surf and turf. The stake came with a truffle but that was phenomenal, the lobster and shrimp had a cute tiny bowl of melt butter for every delicious bite and the mashed potatoes came in a roll of melted cheese that I thought was genius. We also ordered the street corn esquites and calamari that blew me away. My sister doesn’t even like corn and she found herself unable to resist. There was music but the atmosphere was low and quiet, which I found very calming. And everything was just perfect.

We had an amazing time dining at Rosa Mexicano! Everything was amazing especially the guacamole that’s made fresh right in front of you. The food was astounding and very flavorful along with the white sangria. Our server Jorge was very kind and helpful with what’s on the menu. We highly recommend dining at this restaurant. 2 thumbs up!!

The food and the service were excellent! I only gave this restaurant less than 5 stars because it seemed very noisy. It was difficult for my 78 yrs old ears to have a conversation with my wife stting across the table. My Chile Rellenos was delicious and very well presented. The Guacamole Classico was prepared at the table, in a large stone mortar and was wonderful, however, I was not able to watch the preparation as well as my wife could, because of the way we were seated at our reserved table, her back to the wall, my back to the waiter. The restroom was immaculate, but also very odd to this old country boy. There were (only) two stalls

It was my first time trying Mexican cuisine, 🇲🇽🌮and I feel lucky that I ended up here. The combination of flavors was truly extraordinary. 🤌🏼It was also amazing to watch the guacamole being made right in front of us — and it tasted absolutely delicious.🇲🇽 Everything I tried was very tasty, and the cocktails were fantastic as well. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is excellent.🥑 The place is also beautifully decorated — it feels almost like stepping into a fairy tale.✅ I highly recommend making a reservation before coming, because the restaurant gets busy every evening. If you want to experience real authentic Mexican flavors, this place is definitely worth visiting.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rosa Mexicano offers quality food and exceptional drinks in a vibrant atmosphere that’s perfect for gathering with friends before a night out. The menu is consistently delicious, the cocktails are outstanding, and the service makes the experience feel special from start to finish. An ideal pre-show spot for a superb meal and great conversation before heading to the theater.

A trusted name and source for high dining. Still has plenty to like and give as a experience in NYC. Food is terrific. Portions are not overwhelming. Desserts are not to be missed. Luckily you should have room to indulge yourself. Centrally located, just off Central Park West in the Trump Intl Hotel and Towers on Columbus Circle.

Excellent service even all the reviews were discouraging this place because of the service. The 38$ menu was delicious with very good sauces for all plates. This places gladly surprised me because there wasn't anything delicious. You can feel that the kitchen is almost shared with the two Michelin star as the plates were served with great descriptions and raw good ingredients. They are very kind to change anything on the menu if you don't like. They prepared a fruit salad that was excellent. Also they were very fast for the food for kids.

Nougatine is one of my all time favorites. Every dish is prepared with the same care and attention to detail as the main dining room. The service is attentive but not intrusive. And the atmosphere is incredibly comfortable.
beverly benlulu - 9 months ago

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.

Great casual and delicate french cuisine restaurant. Staff is friendly, helpful and really knowledgeable. Everything is perfectly organized & presentation is beautiful. Food is delicious and certainly the chefs make art! Update: I went back and I was quite delighted. Loved their Creamy tomato soup, the flavor was mesmerizing. For my entree I had the Flounder in paprika butter, presentation was pristine, flavor was velvety and quite succulent. For dessert we had Vanilla Panacotta, the consistency was perfection. Also had the Beets with Lemon-Garlic Yogurt and Pink Lady Apples, simply delicious quite zesty( My apologies because I don't have pictures, it was a great time without a cellphone) Service was amazing, the atmosphere is so pretty and calm.

We went to Brooklyn Diner for my daughter Graduation dinner. Class of 2026! Its set up like a retro diner. It wouldn't be ideal for a large group to sit together. The staff were very friendly , and attentive. The waiter was awesome! The food was great and I enjoyed my meal deal- Burger Fries and Shake for only $30. Not a bad deal. We all ate something different but everyone enjoyed their food. The amibance was good, not too noisy. There was only two one stall bathrooms. The location is conveinent by bus and train.

Loved it 😍 The service, the food, the atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff got us seated. We shared a huge hot dog with sauerkraut that was delicious. Then a perfect patty melt with caramelised onions and a pancake. Coffee keeps coming for refills without asking for it and that's so great. Coffee is form a Swedish perspective really weak but OK. First time in 5 days in New York we get coffee in porcelain and just that is worth it's weight in gold after all those papercups. Really recomend this place and next time in New York I'll be back

Brooklyn Diner USA 212 W 57th st NY NY 10019 The Brooklyn Diner on 57th street- 30 years and still going strong! We stopped in for a drink - awaiting our turn to wait in line at Masquerade. The manager and bartender were cool and welcoming. It's a very nostalgic restaurant with beautiful NYC history adorning the walls. It's very convenient & open fairly late. I'd like to return for a full breakfast & test those hotcakes!

This themed Brooklyn diner is a great spot for lunch or dinner. I had the smash burger, and it was honestly incredible. The patties were properly smashed, cooked to perfection with melted cheese. The grilled onion and sauce were not overdone, and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. The staff were also very friendly and gave me enough time to read the menu before taking my order. They had good input and menu suggestions. I was also impressed by how fast the food came. The restaurant was positively packed, and it took little more than 5 minutes for me and my family's orders to be made. I strongly recommend getting a meal here.
