I finally had the chance to dine at Daniel for my birthday and we opted for the 5-course prix fixe menu.
Canapes: Excellent start. There was a uni bite I really enjoyed, though I wish I remembered the rest—it all went by quickly but set the tone nicely.
Maine Sea Scallop Carpaccio: A solid beginning to the courses. The scallop paired beautifully with grapefruit—fresh, light, and delicious.
Warm Seafood Fricassee: This one was interesting. It came with small pieces of snail, octopus, squid, mussels, a SINGLE small pieces of lobster, and scallop. The seafood itself was great, though the sauce threw me off—it had a peanut or nutty flavor that didn’t work for me (personal preference, since I’m not a fan of nutty sauces). The squid was also a little chewy. Funny enough, while I was jotting notes on my phone, the waiter came over almost immediately to check in and even offered to replace the dish. I appreciated the attentiveness but decided to keep it.
Black Cod: Served with caviar and beluga lentils. The texture of the fish was tender and cooked well, though slightly bland.
Pennsylvania Duck: Perfectly cooked—medium and tender—but I wasn’t a fan of the olives embedded in the duck or the pecan sauce, which I felt didn’t complement the dish.
Mekonga (Dessert): A dark chocolate dessert with coconut milk jam. I didn’t get much of the coconut flavor, but overall it was a solid, well balanced dessert.
They also served freshly baked madeleines at the end, which were decent but not particularly memorable. The chocolate piece with gold flakes looked pretty but didn’t taste special, and the mini coffee macaron was a definite miss for me.
At the end of the night, they invited us into the kitchen for a quick look. It was a kind gesture, though there wasn’t much to see—nice touch, but not particularly rewarding… meh…
Overall, I’d give Daniel a strong 4 stars. The service was exceptional—though it did slow down once the restaurant got busy, and we ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for dessert. Still, it was a great experience overall. A few dishes could use small tweaks. But, solid

We reserved Daniel for our Anniversary- it was a spectacular experience from beginning to end. I have dietary restrictions, and the chef was more than accommodating of them. Our Captain was Zach, followed by Serenity. I couldn’t give them a better review. Everyone we encountered was amazing. We highly recommend!

Daniel is unequivocally one of my favorite fine dining restaurants in New York City, and every visit to Daniel is an indulgent journey into high-level gastronomy.
I always choose the eight course tasting menu, and my two standout favorites over the years are their New York foie gras and Maine sea scallops, each bite exquisitely crafted. Every course arrives as a work of art, beautifully plated, deeply flavorful, and thoughtfully paced. It is the literal definition of culinary artistry and fine dining.
The experience is elegant from start to finish. The service is polished yet warm, and the dining room is refined with coffered ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and understated sophistication. Though the pricing is high, with the eight course menu running around $295 to $300 per person, for NYC standards this is absolutely worth it, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to splurge on truly memorable food.
What saddens me is that Michelin currently rates Daniel at only one star, a puzzling demotion for a restaurant that consistently delivers excellence in execution and creativity. Daniel previously held two Michelin stars, and before that even three, which makes this latest rating feel like an injustice.
Despite Michelin’s concerns about inconsistency, to me Daniel remains a gem, a place where passion for seasonal French cuisine meets meticulous presentation, and where each course showcases top tier ingredients like foie gras and scallops at their peak. Every visit reaffirms why it remains one of the finest and most reliable dining experiences in New York.
In short, it is expensive, but absolutely worth it. If you are looking to celebrate or treat yourself, Daniel never disappoints.

I really enjoyed my time at Daniel last night. The restaurant has a lot of history and it's a really beautiful restaurant. The bar is amazing too. My server gave perfect service and I wish him the best. The presentation of the dishes were extremely creative like a work of art. Many 3 star restaurants don't have such creativity and presentation to their dishes. I really enjoyed the rabbit dish and the lamb saddle. The sauces paired with both of these dishes were amazing. I also enjoyed their array of breads to choose from as well as the cheese tray add on. That was excellent. Overall, I recommend coming to Daniel for an excellent meal, service, and a memorable experience. I've been to around 50 Michelin star restaurants so I can compare this restaurant to others. I think this restaurant is definitely worth a visit as it sets its self apart from other Michelin star restaurants.

While visiting NYC recently, wanted to experience fine dinning that was quintessentially New York. In my research, Daniel came highly recommended
I have had some really amazing fine dinning experiences in my local area of Australia and New Zealand but Daniel is at another stratospheric level of fine dinning. I am so glad that I actually had the opportunity to visit
My first night's experience of the delightful Mushroom Consommé followed by the Wagyu Beef and finished off with the Fig + Cheese Cake dessert was so incredible, I had to come back a second night to try their other delectable offerings
When I asked at the end of the first night if they were able to seat me the following night, the team was amazing and found me a spot
The second night was just as phenomenal with the Scallop Carpaccio, Blue Fin Tuna and Moroccan Chocolate
The service both nights was warm, welcoming and so personable which I so appreciate. The atmosphere was beautifully elegant. The food was at its own divine level of taste, textures and creativity
A big thank you to Daniel, Brian, Peter, Alan, Jorje, Matthew and the greater Daniel team for making me feel so welcome and the whole experience at Daniel - both nights so amazing. I do look forward to being back at Daniel soon

Johnny and the team were the most attentive and professional servers that I can remember having in NYC in many years. The Joan Cobb was outstanding; Generous fresh portions with unbelievable fresh seared bacon cubes. Perfect bread service. Thrilled that I didn’t have to leave the Lowe’s hotel to have a classy dinner. Sincerely, Tom from Cleveland OH.

#LoewsRegencyBar & Grill is my neighborhood “#GoToPlace” - As fall weather approaches, I had the pleasure of meeting a colleague at Regency Bar & Grill, my neighborhood staple for 25 years. This iconic spot is renowned for its exceptional service and culinary delights, including Wall Street's Community known for the 'art of the deal'. We were warmly greeted by the F&B Manager/Exec Chef, Manjit, whose suit stylishly embodied his fall spirit. He treated us to an array of delectable fish and seafood options, including succulent lobster and signature crab cakes. The pièce de résistance: fresh-baked cookies & generous cups of cappuccino. Thanks to Chef John, we had a truly unforgettable experience! We eagerly anticipate our next visit. Bonnie - Manhattan
PS: A seasoned waitstaff continue to exceed my expectations with welcomes & little touches of service kindnesses throughout our evening!

Shout out to John S., one of my favorite bartenders who recommended the cauliflower pizza. He suggested adding sausage and extra cheese and it was absolutely delicious! Every time I come visit the bar and order this— people always ask me what kind of pizza it is as it looks so good! All the bartenders are great and super friendly—you feel like you are having a cocktail at a friend's house.

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

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

My family and I had an excellent brunch at Café Bouloud. The restaurant provided the type of service that you would expect at a refined restaurant. The food was top notch from beginning to end. We started with viennoisesies basket and the bloody Mary shrimp ceviche. We all agreed that the ceviche was truly outstanding. For the main course, we ordered the croque monsieur, french toast and eggs benedict with smoked salmon. All three were shared and enjoyed. The dining experience was completed with the assortment de cookies and Paris brest noisette et chocolat. We left the restaurant full and happy.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday yesterday and had a wonderful evening. Elizabeth provided great service, food/drink recommendations, and even offered a tour of the restaurant after our meal. We were very impressed with the private rooms that we plan to return for a larger celebration. After dinner we had a drink at the bar where Andrew and Rosario took good care of us and provided good conversation. The food was rich, delicious, and presented beautifully. Scallops, lobster, duo de boeuf - all delicious. The bread and butter was delicious too.

I visited Café Boulud today for my birthday. The service was very attentive and professional. The staff checked in often and made the experience feel special.
For appetizers, I ordered the scallop, but it was unfortunately very salty. The blood orange and the purée underneath helped balance the flavor a bit, but I still needed to eat it with the bread to mellow the saltiness.
My main dish was the black cod wrapped in “crispy” potato. I had high expectations since it’s their signature dish, but the potato wasn’t crispy at all. The sauce and the leek were well balanced, which I appreciated, but overall the dish was a bit disappointing.
Dessert was the highlight: the apple tart was very good, not too sweet, and had a nicely balanced crust.
Overall, a mixed experience.

Excellent fine cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere and with impeccable service. We were a party of 2 and had the Fluke-Kaki and Homard En Barigoule for appetizers. They were both delicate and delicious. For main, we had the Duo de Boeuf and the Poulet A L’Estragnon. These we’re perfectly cooked, plated elegantly and accompanied with delicious sauce and garnishes. For dessert we shared the Tart Tartin. This is the only dish we wished was more elevated. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal very much and will definitely return.

Beautiful AND delicious food, great ambiance and excellent service. This was one of the best dinners my husband and I have ever experienced. We loved portion sizes as well. On top of that, the kitchen was willing and able to speed our service to make sure we make it to the concert we had. We are looking forward to many more amazing meals at this restaurant, highly recommend.

Tri Tran - in the last week
We had accidently booked the east side instead of the mid town location. So by the time we had ran to this one we were a few min late past our time. But we talked to the lady at the door and she instructed us to go down the stairs and check in. We waited 15 min to check in while the 2 hostesses chatted and gossiped. Then we finally got checked in after a gentleman walked by and asked if we needed help. Once checked in we waited another 15-20 min to get our table. We were finally seated 45 min after our reservation. I understand there is time to wait but 45 for our table seemed long for reservations. Now once we sat down the waitress was good. She got our order and drinks. Our food came out quickly and it was good.

Tony’s Di Napoli has such a warm and lively atmosphere — the kind of place that instantly feels like classic New York. The restaurant is always buzzing with conversation, but in a way that adds to the experience rather than overwhelming it. You can really tell it’s a spot people come to enjoy themselves.
The food came out impressively fast, and everything was prepared perfectly. The chicken parm was incredibly tender, with a tomato sauce that had a deep, rich flavor — easily one of the best I’ve had in the city.
For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, and it felt fancy in the best way. The dusting of cocoa powder on top gave it a nice finish, and the sauce that came with it tied everything together beautifully.
Overall, Tony’s Di Napoli delivers great food, fast service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.

I came as a guest to a party of 25, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The staff handled such a big group so smoothly, everything felt organized, friendly, and welcoming.
The food came out family-style, and every dish was delicious. The pasta was creamy and comforting, the chicken and eggplant parm were perfectly sauced and cheesy, and the steak in mushroom sauce was tender and flavorful. Even the roasted potatoes were incredible, crispy on the outside and buttery inside.
The portions were huge, and the whole table stayed full and happy the entire night. The vibe was lively but still cozy, with that classic New York Italian energy that makes you feel right at home.
It’s the kind of place made for laughter, good food, and big memories. I’d absolutely come back ✨Tony’s Di Napoli knows how to make a celebration feel special. 🍝🍷💛

We enjoyed our experience at Scalinatella. Was recommended by a friend. The flavors were excellent, we were happy with most of our dishes. Friendly service which was very attentive, at least until it was super busy in the dining room. But we like to eat pretty early (had a show to catch). Wasn't a problem for us. Only complaint was our pesto pasta was undercooked. Nearly crunchy. I like al dente, this was just a hair too undercooked. Still ate it because the pesto was very flavorful. It's expensive, but so is everything these days. It felt like a fun, neighborhood spot that if we were regular locals we'd be family.

Intimate cozy setting. Friendly and attentive service staff. Food was overpriced and under seasoned. Lamb was overcooked. Chicken Parm had zero seasoning. Branzino was flaky and fresh. Cheesecake was great but tiramisu was disappointing.
I have never salted my food at a restaurant until that chicken parm. And I needed spoon fulls of red pepper flakes on top to make it worth eating.
Lots of hype but not worth the price tag.
$800 plus tip for 4 ladies. Only one cocktail each.

All of food is way too good that I had to over rate more than what we experienced.
BUT, I must say that verbal menu must be written with each price.
All most $200 for fish over $100 for pasta are TOO MUCH.
Also the system of waiters must be improved. He was asking what drinks to order 4 times to me while my friend is in a restroom. No rulls at all!
Sinclair Lim - 2 years ago
First of all, the food is delicious. I will not deny that. However, when the waiter offered us Parmesan cheese, olives and meats, he should have also said it was $66! For four people, one piece of meat, two olives and cheese. $66!! Then, after ordering, he asked if we wanted an appetizer of zucchini florets- almost demanding we get them- we said sure! They were $57! One small florets for each person! They really need to be more transparent about these “special offerings!” We NEVER would have ordered the meat and cheese or the florets for those prices. Very unfair. Especially when we don’t over $500 for four people.

I wanted to love JoJo’s brunch, but I couldn’t quite get there. The atmosphere is lovely, nestled inside of a renovated townhouse in Manhattan’s UES. Jojo feels like you’re going to your friend’s house to eat, albeit a fairly affluent friend. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, or like many at the restaurant when we went, a group of friends. We ordered the frittata with crispy potatoes, burrata with fig and toasted sourdough, warm shrimp salad.
I’ll start with the highlights. The warm shrimp salad is heavenly, an absolute must try. A great plan on textures with crunchy and creamy, the shrimp is perfectly cooked and smothered in a beurre blanc sauce, the vinaigrette adds a nice bright acidity to balance the creamy avocado, and the dill provides a welcome umami. It’s an excellent salad. The burrata and gallete were both great, balancing sweetness and acidity well.
I was disappointed with the frittata. It had the makings of a great dish, but missed the mark. The pickled jalapeño was excellent, but was too far between to add zip to the dish. The herbs were great, but not enough. I was left just wanting more of every component. It felt like a dish that focused more on presentation than execution of the flavors. The biggest miss for me were the crispy potatoes as many were under done. They had a beautiful golden brown crust, but that needs to be followed by a pillowy center that was supremely lacking. Highly disappointing.
All in all I expect more from a restaurant Jean-George is putting his name to and my review reflects that.

Salomon was great and the drinks were sublime such a calming atmosphere. Most of the service was amazing, though one interaction with a French waitress came off a bit judgmental. Otherwise, a really solid experience.

Fresh flavorful pea soup augmented perfectly by Parmesan cream - didn’t see how it could work when I ordered but it was perfect.
Warm seafood salad featured very fresh, perfectly cooked seafood in a delicious dressing.
Sea bass with pesto and melt in your mouth potatoes - fantastic.
Duck — amazing.
Pea salad - I love peas and this was yummy.
Can’t wait to go back on next NYC trip.

A Hidden Gem on the Upper East Side – A Truly Delightful Experience in New York.
Dining at JoJo on the Upper East Side was a warm and unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the charming ambiance and romantic, homey design, especially on the second floor, which feels like a cozy, elegant escape.
The service was both professional and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. What stood out most was the exceptional flavor of the food—every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented.
We started with the tuna tartare, which was incredibly fresh and perfectly complemented by crispy lettuce. For mains, the chicken dish was a revelation—I rarely order chicken, but I’m so glad I did here! The filet was also perfectly cooked and flavorful. We finished the evening with the carrot cake, and it was nothing short of fabulous—moist, rich, and just the right amount of sweet.
The wine and cocktail selection was excellent, and it was nice to see that the crowd consisted mostly of locals, which speaks volumes about the restaurant's consistent quality. JoJo strikes a beautiful balance between upscale dining and the comfort of a home-cooked meal.
We will definitely be coming back—this is a place worth revisiting. Just a tip: make a reservation, as it’s understandably a popular spot!

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

Popped into David Burke Tavern for happy hour and loved the dark wood, cozy vibe. Drink was solid and well-made, and I tried the lobster dumplings. Sauces were amazing, but the dumplings weren’t super warm and the top where it cinched was kind of hard. Maybe just a fluke. Still, I’d come back to try more dishes!

My friend and I recently dined here to celebrate my birthday. We both ordered the tuna appetizer which was DELICIOUS and we both ordered the salmon entree which was also delicious! We each had a glass of prosecco followed by the creme brulee for dessert.
We dined upstairs and the it was so peaceful, relaxing and quiet. Loved the music in the background. Our server Austin was fabulous - attentive, efficient and friendly.
Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood!

We had a peaceful and enjoyable early Friday evening upstairs in the dining room. The service was attentive and excellent, and the food was delicious—rustic with a unique twist. We sat in the corner with our penguin friend and even did some research to uncover why it was there! Before leaving, we had the chance to meet the chef, who was friendly and personable as he headed out for the night.

Stopped by here to try a slice while we were in the area. The shop is small, but clean. Staff were awesome and friendly. The pizza was so good. I will be thinking about it for a very long time. We tried the chicken Caesar slice and a pepperoni. The slices were reheated in the oven for a couple minutes and the lettuce was not wilted on the chicken Caesar slice. We will definitely be back next time we visit we left full, but I wish I would have ordered some slices to go.

Not sure if this is the original famous Rays ( up for debate?). But the pizza here was very tasty. The prices are super reasonable too for midtown-ish Manhattan. The chicken Cesar slice was surprisingly delicious!

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

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

Coffee was great! I would definitely recommend a hot latte with pistachio syrup. Their pumpkin spice latte was also pretty good. The food was good but not amazing. We shared three dishes. The squash and goat cheese toast was our favorite. Had a great flavor profile. The mini danish pancakes were delicious but I expected more to come with the price. I was very excited for the mushroom gruyère quiche and it arrived to our table cold. The flavor was still good and I'm sure this would have been a favorite if it arrived warm. The overall vibe was cozy and comfortable. I saw one or two people sitting with their laptops so seems they are laptop friendly. It was a lovely brunch and I would come here again but order differently.

Atmosphere is really nice. Food was great, very tasty. I had a ham and cheese croissant with an egg, it was delicious. Orange juice was very tasty too.
But, as lots of other reviews are saying, service is really bad. Both waiters were very rude and just throw away the food on the table.

The place is beautiful. I just think they should not use “false advertisement” for the summer drinks. I ordered the strawberry matcha based on the picture and what I got was completely different (looks like artificial strawberry cream in the bottom that do not mix with the matcha, weird!). The cheese danish was good and the classic music is VERY nice and calming! Place with potential and room for some improvements.

I came here with a friend and we shared the Tomato & Mozzarella sandwich and snickerdoodle cookie croissant. I had the pumpkin spice and she had pistachio matcha. Everything was good but it was pretty loud and the service and presentation could have been better.

Really good, fresh & tasty Croissants and other breakfast items. BUT extremely pricey, the gingerbread pecan crookie (croissant + cookie) was good but the plain croissant was extremely fresh and better.

This past weekend my wife, a few of her friends, and I spent an evening at Club Macanudo in New York, and it was an outstanding experience.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone—classic, comfortable, and effortlessly sophisticated. The vibe is exactly what you hope for in a lounge like this: relaxed, welcoming, and refined without feeling stuffy.
The service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of without being intrusive. You can tell they take pride in creating a great experience for their guests.
Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind, have great conversation, or simply enjoy the ambiance, Club Macanudo delivers on all fronts. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier lounge experience in NYC.

The beautiful wood interior and warm inviting vibe is awesome. The Club allows walk-ins, but there is a $40 minimum per person, and $20 of it has to be cigars. My wife and I had a drink and dessert. The warm chocolate truffles were delicious, and the coffee was also tasty. The service was friendly and helpful, they kep the ashtrays clean.

Club Macanudo can get crowded, as it was when I visited on a Thursday night, but the experience is worth it. The food is fine, the bartender, William, is top shelf, the cigars are way over priced, conversations are at high decibels. You'll have a great time, you'll be back.

Went here on a date with a special gentleman during my visit to NY and I must admit that I had an amazing time. Both the atmosphere and the company were phenomenal! I’m not one to drink but during my visit to NY I did make exceptions 🙈. I order The Godmother, I forgot which drink he had but it was very tasty.
We also ordered appetizers and an entree that we shared, I’m not a big eater. He was such a gentleman. He even fed me 😜.
We each enjoyed a cigar. He had chosen something light for me, one a bit bolder for himself. It was a very relaxed crowd. I had such a great time. We closed out the place. The staff was attentive as well. I would definitely recommend this place hands down.

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