My husband and I decided to do the chef's choice dinner and everything we ordered was under seasoned or over seasoned. We shared the shrimp aguachile (you can see in the picture it barely has any sauce or spices), burrata (we had to order olive oil, salt and balsamic because it didn't have much and the tomatoes were unripened), spicy rigatoni (kind of sweet(?)), and the shrimp saganaki (SO salty. It paired well with the sweetness of the rigatoni). For dessert we got the olive oil cake (very dry) and the strawberry tiramisu. I think the best part of our dinner was the service. Our server was kind, quick and attentive.

I spoke to DAN he's the coordinator and we had TWO winery's to go and tour well there as issues with one of them which was fine THE ISSUE WAS we paid for two and the one we went to GAVE NO TOUR, no ONE WALKED US THROUGH, no one was available to even tell us what we were drinking... we had one of our friends pretend to be the host .. what Dan "coordinated" with me was the complete opposite. And when I reached out to him he said he "COULDNT SPEAK TO ME ABOUT REFUNDS" the ONLY GOOD THING WAS THE PARTY BUS AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT ITS A SEPARATE COMPANY GO FIGURE!!( J&A party bus)I would suggest you look elsewhere where for a tour. DONT FEEL SCAMMED LIKE ME . He said his company/his partner strive for great customer service... that's a joke! I tried calling their office NO ANSWER... Dan said that his partners number and he was on vacation.. over 2000.00 spent and it was the shittiest service ever.. I'll tell you what Dan you should focus more on your customer service rather that coordination. Here's some photos of the lunch boxes and bbq sauce cups you will get as your wine tester ... spend your 2000 else where!

Situated right on the water of Red Hook with a nice quiet scenic view of the sound. All flights we ordered were perfectly chilled and of course display cards informing patrons what each was. The staff was so courteous and just made us felt so relaxed. I was not aware they had a private parking lot so next time I'm definitely driving there. This winery is equivalent to most of the wineries out on eastern Long Island and North Fork without the extensive travel. Perfect day getaway for some slippage.

City Winery is a great venue that showcases great talent with great staff, however, there are a few tips & tricks you must be prepared for to fully enjoy your experience. 1. Come early. Seating is somewhat first come, first serve. My most recent experience was at the sold out show for Teedra Moses. My tickets were purchased off a waitlist, therefore my original seat was at a high top located against the wall, with another couple. It was not comfortable at all. I politely asked our server for another seating option which she hesitantly obliged given our early arrival. I also purchased a bottle of wine, which our server was not aware of. Being early allowed us to place our order and hash this out without disruption to the show. 2. You will be sat with another party unless you come with a party of 4 or more. 3. I typically dine elsewhere prior to or after the show. The menu is not heavy, plus it is challenging to enjoy the show while eating. All in City Winery is spectacular for what it is. The main takeaway is to plan ahead.

I was honestly taken aback by how…read morebeautiful the interior is--the space feels warm, elevated, and thoughtfully designed without trying too hard. It sets the tone for what you expect to be a really special dining experience. The food, for the most part, absolutely delivered. Everything we tried was incredibly flavorful, well-presented, and clearly made with care. There was one small hiccup--one of our appetizers came out a bit cold--but it didn't take away too much from the overall quality. Aside from that, every dish was genuinely impressive. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was absolutely amazing--attentive, kind, and on top of everything without ever feeling overbearing. They truly attended to our every need and made the experience feel seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. The drinks, however, were a letdown. For a place at this price point, you expect cocktails to match the level of the food and ambiance, but they just didn't. After trying two of their specialty cocktails, I wasn't impressed. I'll definitely be coming back for buisness dinners !

Food: 3.7/5 Service: 3.8/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.1/5 Value: 2.8/5 On the north side of 26th and Madison, Blackbarn is located in the Gramercy neighborhood. Nearby is a park that has a decorated tree during the holiday season. It is a spacious restaurant for NYC standards. The dining room opens at 5:30, so when I arrived early at 5:15, I was encouraged to wait at the bar, as they couldn't escort me to the table yet. I ordered a cocktail that tasted like a Negroni with Laphroaig. $22. It was served in a brandy snifter looking glass so I could really smell the peatiness. I like the high ceilings and spacious footprint. The front tavern leads into the main dining room in the rear left. However, the restaurant is very loud. Odd for it to be this loud at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday. I guess the happy hour customers make a lot of noise. It seemed like a lot of corporate people were there. The food and service were okay. I get the sense that they are understaffed. Amish chicken ($42): I was disappointed to find my dish was served at lukewarm temperature. It was not hot or even warm in the middle. I have a feeling it was sitting for a while. I have never paid a higher price anywhere for a chicken entree. The desserts took forever to arrive - like well over a half hour after I finished my entree and had it cleared from the table. My server assured me that they had the desserts going, so I thought it would only be a little while longer. I knew the souffle required 15 minutes to cook, but I told them at the outset what the order was, so I assumed they timed everything to be ready right when I finished the entree. I don't understand why they couldn't just prepare everything to arrive at once. Chocolate souffle ($17): it was crispy and soft, so the texture was good, but it was quite bland in flavor. Rum butterscotch bread pudding ($15): The thickness of the pudding was not sufficient. Not nearly enough butterscotch flavor. The sauce was thin. The pudding was way too hot to eat. The ice cream had some ice crystals in it. Fairly disappointing, overall.

They're open from 1-10pm (weather permitting) and have a menu of 8 wines on tap by the glass, growler, or magnum; 3 sparkling wines by the glass or bottle; 3 winter hot beverages (mulled wine, winter sangria, and spiked cider); 3 mimosas; six beers or ciders (1 that is NA); and several NA options (hot cider, hot cocoa, coffee, tea, NA fizzes, juices, etc.). They have several tables and winter domes. I visited on a Saturday afternoon in March and it wasn't busy (it was cold out). They were playing great music, and it was a great place to relax and peoplewatch for a bit. Also, the service was really great and friendly at the bar. Not a bad place for a drink!

Wine Classes!…read more Squabbie and I took our first wine class at NYC Wine Class. We enrolled in their introductory to wine course, Wine 101. Andrew Harwood (the founder) was our instructor. He's had experience cultivating wine graps in Hungary, France, and California, to name a few places. He was quite informative and helpful. On top of our dessert wine, we had full glasses of 10 different types of wine. The grape variety for the wines included Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, & Malbek. The wine regions included Oregon, California, Argentina, Italy, and France. The prices of the bottles and their Wine Spectator ratings aren't revealed until after the wines are tasted, as to not provide a bias. There are five rounds of wines pairings, accompanied by a type of cheese. The wine pairings are selected to distinguish the contrasting tastes (e.g. comparison of regions, comparison of vineyard processing, or comparison of grape varieties). The class was a great introduction, and has whetted my desire to learn more about wines. If taken individually, the class would have cost $90, but Squabbie purchased the $275 four class promo package (good for 2 years and splitable amongst friends). I HIGHLY recommend this package (http://www.nycwineclass.com/wine_classes.php#256). I delayed taking this for half a year, I can't believe I waited so long! I can't wait for my next class.
