Fantastic service and overall meal for an upscale lunch. The staff was attentive and kind. The courses were a bit hit or miss for this level of Michelin star for me but overall a wonderful experience. The main courses of lamb and buffalo were stellar. I HIGHLY recommend the wine pairing. That was the highlight for us. It was fantastic wine and brought the food to the next level. Overall a lovely experience. I'll mention most men were wearing jackets even at lunch time though it is not required.

This was my second time dining at DANIEL, and once again it reminded me why this restaurant is so special and why I return every time I’m in New York City. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and gracious hospitality. The host and the manager who seated us were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel truly cared for. Throughout the evening, the service was impeccable ,polished yet friendly, professional without ever feeling distant. The sommelier was exceptional, offering thoughtful wine recommendations that paired beautifully with each course. The tasting menu was a true work of art: beautifully crafted dishes, elegant plating, balanced flavors, and pairings that elevated the entire experience. Every course felt intentional and refined, yet comforting at the same time. One of the highlights of the evening was having the pleasure of meeting Daniel Boulud himself. Despite being incredibly busy and on his feet all evening, his passion for cooking and hospitality truly shines through. He took the time to stop, chat with guests, and make everyone feel welcome and happy a rare and meaningful gesture from a world-renowned chef. DANIEL is not just about extraordinary food; it’s about heart, warmth, and genuine hospitality. An unforgettable experience, every single time.

Had our anniversary dinner here. We chose the 5 course dinner and it was great. Food was delicious and service was amazing. If you have a small appetite like my wife, 5 course might be a lot. She was full by dessert. All of the dishes were amazing. The server was great and provided good recommendations and later gave us a quick tour of the kitchen.

I recently visited with my sister, Tina Stewart, who has raved about Daniel for quite some time — and now I completely understand why. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. The wait staff was absolutely top notch — Zach, Matt, and the bartenders all went above and beyond. Attentive, knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You could tell they take pride not only in their work but in the experience they create for every guest. The food… there truly are no words. Every bite was incredible. Flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly made with passion. Getting the opportunity to see the kitchen was an added bonus and only deepened my appreciation for the care and skill that goes into each dish. It was an amazing night filled with outstanding food and even better people. Experiences like this stay with you — they aren’t just meals, they’re memories. Until next year, I wish you all a fantastic year ahead. This is an absolute must-go place. If you get the chance, you owe it to yourself to have this experience at least once in your life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a solid experience at Daniel. We did a five-course prix fixe menu. Each course came out perfectly. I enjoyed the seeded bread and our server packed up 6 pieces for us to take home - I was pleasantly amazed. On top of that, we were invited for a kitchen tour, which made the evening even more memorable.

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.

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.

My boyfriend and I went for Valentine’s Day. It was so wonderful. The prix fixe meal was delicious. The mushroom risotto was the best risotto I’ve ever had in my life! And the desserts were so artfully displayed. Every bite was amazing. Service was impeccable, with strong attention to detail. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Highly recommend.

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.

We tried the restaurant week 3 course lunch. The food tasted great, well seasoned and balanced. I loved every bite. I felt underfed at the eof my meal, whereas my two friends felt very full. I assume it’s bcz one of them got risotto and the other a chicken dish while I got the fish which was a thin slice and light to eat. Again during dessert I liked my dessert the best over the other two we ordered at the table to taste all three dessert options. the bread was too cold for me to enjoy and we didn’t get any butter at our table! But overall the visit was pleasant with nice tasting dishes.

Exceptional service & unforgettable wine pairing We had such a beautiful evening at Café Boulud. The food was refined, perfectly executed, and felt both classic and exciting. But what truly made the night special was our server, Simone. Simone was absolutely outstanding!!!! warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. His wine pairing recommendations were spot on. Every selection complemented the dishes perfectly and elevated the entire meal. You can tell he genuinely understands wine and cares about the experience he creates for his guests. At the end of the evening, he even gave us a tour of the space, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. That level of hospitality is rare. If you’re dining here, ask for Simone, he is truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had.

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.

Tony's Di Napoli has a warm, lively atmosphere that immediately gives you that classic New York dining feel. The restaurant is always full of energy and conversation, but it adds to the charm rather than feeling overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where people gather to enjoy good food and a fun night out. The service is quick and efficient, and the food comes out surprisingly fast without sacrificing quality. Everything was well prepared and flavorful, making the whole experience very enjoyable. Between the great food, fast service, and vibrant atmosphere, it’s definitely a place that makes you want to stay a little longer and come back again.

This place is delicious. I celebrated my birthday there 2 years ago, and since then, I've been bringing my friends there to enjoy the best Italian style. I'm always trying different plates and have never left disappointed. It's great for a date or party. Highly recommend 👌

Yep another 5 start review! Twice in one day like a miracle! We had a big crowd of big eaters and this place didn't disappoint. Was it the highest gourmet quality? HMMM? But the food was made with nice ingredients served piping hot! The meal was timed so well and the waiter and wait staff did a super job of taking care of us. FYI you can tell the food was prepared well as the pasta was perfectly cooked! A little heavy on the garlic and spices? Yeah maybe but nothing much left at the end. Also notice that the restaurant was very nice and they sat us in a little comfortable private area. We could actually all hear and talk with each other in NYC. Ok here is the deal, if you have a crowd to feed and you want to be filled with nice food in a comfortable setting than Tony Di Napoli is for you. I would be very happy to come back

We have a lot of good Italian restaurants in New York and are a bit spoiled. Living here my whole life I realized I have never tried this restaurant as I have always heard it was good. The bread that was put out was so bad they should be embarrassed. The drinks were average , they didn’t make the martini right unfortunately. For dinner I went with classic chicken parmigiana, it was good. The ravioli bolognese was good and had very good flavor in the sauce. Overall though, both my wife and I felt nothing stood out or was special about this place and we have really have no reason to go back.

Everything you would expect in a high end Italian restaurant , The Lasagna with meat sauce and Truffles was outstanding , delicate yet filling with an aroma that wasn’t overbearing, just perfect! The only thing we would have preferred and would have been appreciated was the specials of the evening on a separate sheet to look over, as the list was extensive with more than 12 items the waiter had to recite! Almost more items than regular Menu.. So for us to remember what he said was a strain… and we might have chosen differently! Or had more to share! My2cents Nonetheless we loved what we ordered, and the Linguini with Lobster sauce was good and had a few shrimps on the side, only comment there, a little to much Garlic for our personal taste, and we are Italian. Lastly The service by everyone was very kind and professional! Grazie!

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.

Had an amazing dinner experience! As the expression goes ‘it takes a village’ here at Scalinatella it couldn’t be truer with everyone contributing to make our evening the absolute best! It was my first time at the restaurant, my son and girlfriend had been a few times previously. Our meals were so delicious, with tremendous flavor and every dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We started with an organic green salad and the lettuce was so supple. It was drizzled with olive oil, lemon and a touch of salt, so, so delicious. I remember when my dad made our dinner salads and especially loved his olive oil and lemon dressing over frisée salad, it was my favorite. Our pasta dishes, chicken parm and sword fish all spectacular. And the desserts, Italian cheesecake and chocolate mousse cake, absolutely divine. We were celebrating my son’s girlfriend’s birthday and it was really nice for the staff to sing Happy Birthday to her along with serving a creamy dessert and biscotti. Our server was outstanding with all of his support team so attentive. Even the hostess, who was ready with our coats when we were leaving. Again, it takes a village. Looking forward to returning!

In over 20 years coming to NYC this is the absolute in intimate authentic classic Italian that makes you want to keep coming back. The home made pasta sauces and personal service is what you get in Italy. Italy brought a piece of its heritage to this amazing chef, owner and cuisine! Ship me some gnocchi’s please ! 🇮🇹🍝don’t forget the wine!

Very nice but not amazing place. Has a lot of classic Jean Georges dishes. The duck was the better than the filet and the sea bass. Appetizers were all very good. Portions are small. Nothing really stood out. Very nice atmosphere. Service was good but they couldn’t get us out desserts in time for our show.

Amazing experience! ❤️ My husband and I had dinner at JoJo Restaurant and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious — juicy chicken, perfectly cooked salmon with light mashed potatoes, and incredible desserts. The pavlova with passion fruit is a must-try, and the warm chocolate cake stole my heart 🥰 Beautiful interior, unique plates that make you feel special, and a place you definitely want to come back to. Highly recommend!

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.

Salmon 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.

I pass this place all the time, but today I saw a Restaurant Week sign and decided to try it. Small spot. Not crowded for lunch, but enough people that it didn’t feel awkward, and it wasn’t noisy. I’m not a big drinker, but I usually try a cocktail from the menu. The drinks listed on their website weren’t on the current menu, and nothing else sounded good enough to spend $20 on one drink. For lunch I ordered the Caesar salad and the steak frites. The Caesar was a generous portion but otherwise totally forgettable. The only memorable part was the croutons, and even those were oddly soft, with no crunch at all. The steak was horrible, honestly. It smelled weird, almost fishy, and it was extremely tough. I ordered it medium. It looked medium, but they bring it out on a sizzling plate and the underside was way overcooked. My biggest complaint was the service. I understand there was only one person serving the whole place, but I wasn’t checked on even once. My water got refilled, which was the only saving grace. No one asked how the food was, if I wanted anything else, or gave me a chance to ask for steak sauce to help the sad steak go down. After I was clearly finished, the restaurant emptied out and I still had to put my coat on and walk up to the bar just to get my check. I really hoped I’d like this place and find a new lunch spot in the area, but it wasn’t worth it, even during Restaurant Week.

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.

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!
Tracey M - 6 months ago

Had an extraordinary meal at David Burke Tavern. Service was top notch… friendly, yet professional and knowledgeable!!!!! The clothesline bacon (and having it blowtorched table side) was awesome! Bacon was sweet and peppery! So yummy. The prime ribeye was perhaps the best I’ve had in a very long time!!! Perfectly seasoned with whatever dry rub/seasoning they use! The showstopper though had to have been the cake lollipop tree with cotton candy!!!! Sooo good! David Burke Tavern is not cheap, but I feel very worth the money and I would definitely come back again and again!!!!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at David Burke’s Tavern on Christmas Eve. The service was absolutely terrible. Our waiter Richard N. was not only inattentive but outright rude, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. It was shocking, especially on a holiday evening when you expect a certain level of warmth and professionalism. The overall experience was soured by this lack of basic hospitality, and unfortunately, it overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal. As you can see from the pictures we tried everything from the Clothes line Bacon and the Lobster Dumplings to the Dry-aged Porterhouse which were all cold but delicious. If Chef David Burke truly cares about the reputation of his restaurant, I would highly encourage him or his management team to reach out to me to hear more about my experience and hopefully address these serious service issues. This was far from the experience I was expecting especially since I had a very positive experience at the Park Ave location. Unfortunately I won’t be returning unless there’s a genuine effort to improve.

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!
abcdan - 7 months ago

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.
David F - 3 years ago

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.

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.
Samir Nawaz - 4 months ago

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.

Club Macanudo delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food is nothing short of five stars expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and consistently memorable. Every dish reflects both quality and attention to detail. The service is equally impressive, truly Four Seasons caliber. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and impeccably professional, the staff elevates the entire evening and makes you feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. An outstanding destination for anyone looking for refined dining, world-class hospitality, and an overall elevated experience.

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.

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.
Carmen Guzman - a year ago

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.
James Zorn - a year ago

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.
