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

A three star experience and service, without being too stuffy. The menu was like if you took Alinea, removed the gastronomy, and injected French. The oysters in pearls were the star for me. They were rich, creamy, and texturally interesting (but not on an off putting way). Every dish really "flowed" and everything was perfectly timed. The wine pairing was incredibly generous. I had to share some glasses with my table so I could remember the meal by the end of the night. The meal as a whole was much more filling than other pre fixe 3 stars (which I consider a positive). We aren't really squab fans, but we gave it a try, and they offered to substitute the dish when we all agreed we wouldn't eat it. But we declined because we were already filling up quickly. They offered reasonable accommodations to the menu to ensure everyone had the best experience possible. But above all, the service was stellar. Every member of the team was attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and very passionate about the place.

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!

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.

I can’t express how amazing Per Se is, not just the unbelievable dishes but the staff are top tier. This was our last night of our Anniversary week celebration in NY and it made our entire week worth it! If I could give more stars I would, thank you again to Per Se for making our experience wonderful!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!
Abigail Hay - 6 months ago

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.
Lindsay Milligan - 12 months ago

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!!!

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

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!!
Natalia Marin Muñoz - 2 months ago

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.
Rob Fortier - 3 months ago

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

I loved the classic Italian restaurant vibes but the food was mediocre at best. The penne vodka tasted like marinara with a generous amount of vodka in it (didn’t seem to be cooked off) and felt like it was missing something. The pasta was mushy.
Francesca Antonello - a week ago

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.

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’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!!

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.
