I recently hosted an executive dinner at Per Se for 28 guests, and it was truly an unforgettable evening. The events team was amazing from start to finish. They helped me plan every detail and were so accommodating, even pulling off last-minute name plates without a hitch. The private dining room was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone for the night. The service was exceptional. Everyone on the team was kind, attentive, and made our guests feel incredibly well cared for. Now the food… just wow. Every dish was impressive, but the Atlantic black bass stole the show. It was the kind of meal people are still talking about days later. One thing that really stood out was the spirit-free pairing option. I’ve tried a few at Michelin-starred spots, but this one was by far the best. It was thoughtfully curated, creative, and genuinely elevated the experience. Per Se’s three Michelin stars are more than well deserved. This place delivers on every level. I can’t thank the team enough for helping me pull off such a special night.

I can't rave about this experience enough. It was everything I want from fine dining. The dining room overlooks the corner of Central Park through a wall of windows. I was seated at 5, so I got to watch the city darken as I ate. The service was immaculate. You are catered to every second. The meal was delicious and filling. I was full before my second meat course and stuffed after dessert. My favorite course was the sunchoke salad and bread and butter. The desserts were the best I've ever had at a Michelin star restaurant, and there are so many of them! Finding the restaurant is tricky. You enter the Shops at Columbus Circle mall and go up to the fourth floor. Then you walk past all the other restaurants until you reach Per Se. There are a lot of supplemental options on the menu that incur an additional charge. I skipped all of them and never felt like I was getting a lesser experience. In total, dinner cost $467. I paid that at the time of booking so I didn't have to pay anything at the end of the meal. They gave me a nice copy of the menu and a tiny tin of cookies as I was leaving.

Now this is what I expect when dining at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. The food was AMAZING and the staff were very attentive to our needs. They do go a little crazy on the desserts but youre already super full by the time those come out. everything was so masterfully prepared and everything just felt relaxing.

This was our first fine dining experience and all I can say is wow. This restaurant blew us away! Starting with the staff. The entire staff was exceptional, very friendly, very curtious, and made you feel like one of their family members. As we went for our anniversary every staff memeber we encountered wished us a happy anniversary and even included a speical "kisses" dessert. Hats off to Taylor our somollier as well. He was absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to talk with as well as having a very vast knowledge of the wines he is providing. Onto the food. These dishes were phenomenal, the Oyster and pearls a classic, and the small bites at the beginning lived up to their reputation. The reason I give the food 4 starts was becuase the Amish chicken we had and the cheese dish just didn't feel right, while they were fine and it was probably a "me" problem they just didn't do it for me. Other than those, the meal was perfect. The dessert. I'm putting dessert in it's own section as it was our absolute favorite part. This sampling done by the pastry chef was unbelievable. Expertly crafted with some of the most rich and enjoyable flavors I've ever experienced. The dessert alone is almost worth the price tag. The atmosphere. The setting was so tasteful and elegant. It allowed my wife and I to feel like we were the only two there while we were surrounded by a full dining room. The music selection ranged from Steely Dan to Sister Golden Hair by America. The dining room felt more like a friend's living room than a 3 michelin star dining room in the best way possible. Our seating was close enough to the kitchen to hear them call out an order in unison however you heard nothing else from them, which to us was a true testament to the professionalism that Per Se provides for its patrons. Per Se was worth every penny we spent on it. An unforgettable night made possible by every member of their team.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with my family, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. My expectations were high, yet they were effortlessly exceeded by the impeccable cuisine, warm hospitality, flawless service, breathtaking views, and enchanting ambiance. The dessert course was a true masterpiece, and the evening was made even more memorable with a tour of the kitchen. Without a doubt, this was the most exceptional dining experience I have had in New York.

Came here the other day for a birthday lunch and it was delicious! We shared the salad with anchovies which was crisp and fresh and the dressing also on point. For the mains, we tried the shrimp gnocchetti, the halibut, and the scallops - all cooked to perfection. I didn't try any of their cocktails but did have the elderflower mocktail which was tangy and refreshing. Dessert was amazing - the tiramisu with a twist, the millefoglie with pistachio and raspberry atop the deconstructed pâte feuilletée was decadent and light. I had no idea that there was also a birthday dessert with the bomboloni and a mini pistachio cake from the kitchen! Service was incredible - we felt attended to by the wait-staff and I must say the bread basket that continued to circle the dining room was the cherry on top. The ambience was quiet but not stuffy - the perfect setting for a family meal. I would certainly come back here again to try other items on the menu!

We had an overall great night. The food was great. Our service was knowledgeable. We enjoyed his recommendations for pasta. The washroom seems like what other post mentioned, it was not what we would expect in this type of restaurant. And we were sat under a blue light chandelier, all the photos were blue.

Made a last minute 5pm dinner reservation for a solo dinner before a show. First mention is the service was impeccable; warm and attentive without being overbearing. Food was delicious! I got the pasta ribbons with king crab and breadcrumbs, and the broccolini. Both were absolutely delicious. Also got a grapefruit mocktail that was delicious, and they refilled your sparkling water as if it were tap water which I really loved. This place is definitely expensive, but was perfect for a treat-yourself dinner date.

Marea exceeded expectations on every level. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Service was attentive and seamless without being intrusive. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegance and warmth, making it ideal for both business lunches and special occasions.

Food is amazing ! Gnocchi my favorite plate and the dessert with pineapple, mango and passion fruit. Services was really good and amazing atmosphere. Not a loud restaurant , perfect to have a gathering. It is pricey but worth it.

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 - 11 months ago

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.

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 - a year 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!!!
Michael Alvarez - a year 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.

I had start off sushi (forgot name) and fried dumplings. Both were good. Then i had oxtail fried rice with fried chicken. I didn’t think they was going bring me a half chicken fried ! I promise you those oxtail fried rice with the fried chicken is the bomb ! My girl had order a fish that came raw with like the head cut (don’t really eat raw stuff) and they took it back and switch it for her, for half a chicken. If I was to be able give them another star for that I would. That was great service and we truly appreciate you guys for doing that for us !!

After working 20 years ago at the original Blue Ribbon, this amazing group of restaurants gives me an app and dessert on the house. Not only does it speak volumes about Erick and Bruce but the whole Blue Ribbon family. I shared a wonderful meal with my family and hopefully a new tradition on New Year’s Eve to do a fancy meal.
Charlie Maciejewski - 3 months ago

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. Service is pleasant and despite the lack of windows the main dining area is beautiful and well ventilated. Continue to eat here on a regular basis. The sushi is generally excellent but occasionally very bad. The non-sushi dishes like the fried chicken are decent but not great. The edemame is amazing we almost always get it. The profiterole dessert they have is outstanding, possibly the best ever. We’ve been ordering it almost every time. The Yuzu non-alcoholic beer is amazing and worth it.
Richard S - 2 months ago

One of our all time favorites sushi spots in the city! The sake selection is fantastic, edamame is firm and delicious! Their fish selection is top-tier and reasonably priced. OH, definitely get the wild mushroom fried rice to share it’s amazing and comes with a delicious red chili sauce for some heat
Jonathan Halley - 3 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 temaki hand roll was amazing! You get to make your own rolls and it’s both delicious and a great experience. The green tea creme brulee is probably one of the best restaurant desserts I’ve had, don’t leave without it 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

First of all, straight in the door was greeted by staff and told them my name and reservation time. Was seated by server and was greeted by the owner Sal, which showed he really does care about how good his restaurant does. Food was out of this world. Both pasta’s my wife and I ordered were fresh. Calamari app was perfect with house made pasta sauce. Had a cannoli to top off the night. Would come again. Thanks Sal I appreciate you and the restaurant being apart of our trip to New York. Will never forget it.

Great food. Not only tasty but the serve provided exceptional recommendations. Service was top notch h and a team effort. Reservations were recommended and honored and we were greeted by a friendly team who sat us promptly. Atmosphere was fun but not overwhelming. Live music was great but still afforded guests to enjoy conversation. Overall exceptional experience and highly recommend we’ll be back soon.

Friends have told me to go to Patsy's for a long time and I finally went there. It was early, around 4, and they were happyntonseat me without a reservation but I did need to finish around 530. This has happened before at other restaurants so it was not odd or unexpected. The staff was friendly and attentive and they have a full bar (the Whiskey Sour was great). As many others have written, this is an old school Italian place, since 1944. It does have a great atmosphere and many celebrity photos line the walls. The food is wonderful and dull of flavors. The bread is crusty and thick and fresh. It pairs well with the olive oil on the table. I ordered the Tortellini with veal meat sauce. My Italian mother used to do a veal sauce and this brought back a lot of memories. The other dish ordered was Spaghetti Marina. A tomato sause that was neither too tomato taste or over spiced. Both dishes were very good. And we had a side of the sautéed spinach with garlic. And very good size portions. So much in face, we didn't have room for what looked like wonderful deserts. I guess another visit is in order.

Our first time in NYC and we had to come try this place. The atmosphere is exactly what we expected with friendly smiles from the moment we walked in that continued throughout our meal. The waitstaff was very attentive, and we did not have to wait on anything. The food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly after we ordered. Their dessert menu had a large selection and was also very delicious. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food.

For a high end Manhattan steak restaurant a lot of things were delish (the bacon, creamed corn and spinach, bone marrow) but not consistently the steaks. We liked our prime rib. Our porterhouse and chili rub rib eye were disappointingly salted and flavored to the point we had to ask for salt and steak sauce. For $200+ pp I expect better steaks. The service was solid. They could upgrade the decor - there were patches in my seat that looked like water stains.
Amy Wu - 3 weeks ago

Porterhouse Steak was good. Service did not feel that great. They could have done a better job considering the check cost about US$550. Atmosphere is kind of dated. Needs a little touch up. Have been to better places with amazing service for that kind of price. Taking pride in your brand and food is good. But, have to keep up with that kind of image for all customers.

When you’re thinking about upscale dining, this is it, look no further. One thing about the employees here they are seasoned andthey know the menu very well. Praised the owner chef. Mentioning they have a good relationship with him. Shared a porter steak, cream Spinach with BACON just so it. I loved the mushrooms.

I tried the NY strip and Ribeye. I thought the ribeye was well seasoned and had depth. The strip was cooked well but lacked the flavor of the ribeye. The servers were attentive despite there being a large group event in one section of the restaurant.

Updated review today: a year can make a difference, we went back and the service and all was very good. Attentive, timely and overall pleasant experience. Upgraded our review to 4 stars. We had a white truffle filled dinner. Well done. A year ago initial review: The quality of the food is good. My rib-eye was prepared as requested. That night, I was eating dinner alone so this review is one-person’s opinion. With that said, the service was lacking. I order a shrimp cocktail which never came. Waiter never came by to check up in with me as to how my culinary experience was going. Other tables were being given the proper and adequate attention. Could have been an off night or perhaps a table of one doesn’t get the same attention as a table for two or more. If not for the service, my start rating would have been a 4.

Great experience at Robert! Me and my friends got the pre-fix brunch. The price was totally reasonable for the portions. I wasn’t even able to finish my main course. However, chicken was a bit under seasoned and dry. But the dessert was amazing. Needless to mentioned the outstanding view and atmosphere. Very elegant restaurant, that offers coat check as well. Service was great.

Their website has some amazing images of their tables with a window view. That was our motivation for the booking. But, we only booked our lunch about 10 days out. That's not enough time to be guaranteed a window table and so we didn't get one. To their credit, they were trying to move us by the time dessert & coffee would have been ordered but we had lost the "good feels" by then. The food was good. Some unique options mixed in with yummy comfort food selections. The decor was a surprise....not sure if it was a good or bad surprise? Plums, purples, orange and screaming hot pink are the colors that will greet you. Wow !! Finally...the little things.... Our waiter was disheveled, dressed in torn clothing and seemed like he had too many tables while the furniture & the menus had very noticeable wear and tear. The best reason to dine here is the view. So, make sure it's lunch and book far out. Hopefully it will be a sunny day.

The food here is consistently solid. Standout dishes include the Amish chicken with its incredible demi-glace, the excellent rigatoni, and the very good jumbo lump crab cake. The wine selection and wines by the glass are also commendable. Plus, catching live music here is an absolute treat, adding another layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. The ambiance and the views are outstanding. The service is wonderful. We will return over and over again.

Had an amazing dinner at Robert for my aunt’s birthday. The food was exquisite, and the service was attentive and professional. The views of Central Park and Columbus Circle covered in snow were absolutely breathtaking, making the evening even more special. The atmosphere was a perfect 10—elegant, cozy, and truly unique. A fantastic spot for a memorable celebration. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend brought me here to celebrate an early birthday 🎂. We took in the Barbie show at the Museum of Art and Design and then upstairs to the beautiful Robert restaurant. The view is amazing, the food is delicious and beautiful. What a perfect day. Had my first yucca fries and fell in love with them.

This place is 🔥. Soon as you step in the atmosphere draws you in. Live music.waiters are very nice and welcoming. The only thing I didn’t like about the waiters is that they didn’t offer water as soon as we were seated. We had to ask for water. Service was good though. The food, I gave it a 3 because the flavors could’ve been more robust as I thought it would be. But it was kinda regular. I ordered OX tails and some other things I can’t remember. And it was good but not as flavorful as I wanted. The drinks were excellent tho!!! 5 stars for that. Will be going again with my friends. The drinks and music live alone was enough for a good time and definite return. I recommend!!!

Great location and service with live music, however the food was underwhelming. The portions are big, but some of the food lacked flavor which was disappointing. Overall 6/10! Would visit again and give this another try just for the service and music alone.

Near Lincoln Center & Fordham University.....Rosa Mexicano is a delight. Drinks are amazing. The food is yummy. The service is great. The space is HUGE !!! I love the ambiance here..... good for catching up with friends, good for happy hour with co workers n a good date night spot for couples. If u have a huge party..... the space is endless upstairs. My only compliant is for a place so big.... a bathroom should be downstairs as well as upstairs. But I will definitely be back !!

My recent visit to Rosa Mexicano was pretty cool. I was on a solo date at Lincoln Center, and from the time I purchased my ticket for the show, I made a reservation, for one. Upon arrival, I noticed the bright and welcoming decor, along with the light early evening buzz, it was a little after 4:30pm. Unfortunately, the host didn’t match that energy. The individual was very dry and blah. But I wasn’t going to allow them to dampen my mood. I was seated, then warmly greeted by my server. He brought a bowl of fresh tortilla chips and salsa, both tasty! After a few minutes, the server return for my order. He got all the fine details correct, without writing them down (impressive). In the past I’ve had their popular margaritas, but that day I enjoyed my meal with an individual bottle of Saratoga Sparkling water, with a wedge of lemon and lime. (So satisfying!!) As for my meal, I had roasted mushroom enchiladas, w/ a side Mexican rice and ripe plantain… oh so delicious!!! Overall, I enjoyed my evening at Rosa Mexicano, and will surely go again!

I thought this particular Rosa Mexicano had better food than other locations I've been to in New York City. The interior is beautiful and spacious. The service was good and the drinks and food were delicious. The cocktails were well balanced and strong. I thought the corn was very delicious.

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!

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.

What a lovely dining experience. The staff are friendly and attentive. The French toast with caramelized apples is a must try! Poached eggs were perfection with mushrooms and parmesan. I just didn't love the mixed greens that included mint underneath. It's such a great location, quietly tucked away, overlooking the chaos of Columbus Circle. I hope to come back soon!

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.

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.
Julia Rosenthal - 11 months ago

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!
Alisa - a year ago

I love coming to Nougatine to celebrate special occasions. They have a beautiful outdoor terrace. Now to the food. We started with the Kale Salad and the burrata. Both were tasty. For main courses we went with the Rigatoni with Meatballs, the Cheeseburger, the Parmesan Crusted Chicken and the soft shell crab. All were cooked right except for the burger which was over cooked but after it was redone it was perfect as well! All the mains tasted delicious. The portion of the chicken was a little small. Finally, for dessert we got shortbread cookies and the butterscotch pudding. The cookies aren’t on the dessert menu but ask your waiter or waitress and they will give some to you. Overall we had a great meal. Five stars.
