Palate cleanser

I finally got a reservation after trying for a few years. It was worth the wait. The views are outstanding and the menu is available as pre fixe or à la carte. We went for the chef's prefix with wine pairings as we were able to sample almost everything on offer. The service from the entire staff - from the doorman in the lobby to the team of servers and attendants was phenomenal. It's an expensive experience but views and high quality food are rarely served in the same place in the city.

Amazing WOW factor. This place is located on the top floor of the newest luxury office tower in NYC, One Vanderbilt... right next to Grand Central Terminal. The views are stunning. Particularly amazing view of the Chrysler Building. There's a nice bar, along with a casual menu, including tables... and a more formal restaurant operated by the great chef, Daniel Boulud. Service is excellent wherever you go. Access is only for Amex Centurion Cardholders, hence the name. However, Platinum members can make reservations if there is room. I'm not sure of the timing. There is a great Ap, CENTURION NEW YORK, that is dedicated just for this property that has all the info on both restaurants, menus, and the ability to make reservations. I just had drinks at the bar as I had reservations elsewhere for dinner. Such a fabulous place. The staff there caters to your every need and is very professional. I enjoyed checking out the menus, looking at the picture-perfect views. Everything here is first class. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Centurion New York is always a 10/10 experience. Whether you're looking for a beautiful setting for a date night, to celebrate a milestone, or to simply make a dazzling first impression, this is the place! If you can score a reservation, drop everything and run there! Get the mussels!

Chrysler Bldg.

Food was well prepared and had a unique twist on standards, like the lobster tail with an amazing sauce. The server was excellent. Very attentive. Explained things well and easily engaged in conversation. The views were of course outstanding. We really enjoyed watching a storm roll through at that elevation. Lovely experience.

Centurion has done it again--another delightful dinner with excellent food. The menu of this visit's highlights included the truffle risotto, generously topped with freshly shaved truffles, which was a standout. The burrata paired beautifully with figs, and the prawns were perfectly seasoned. Everything met our expectations in terms of quality and flavor. The sparkling drinks and white wine, however, didn't quite live up to the standard of last season. While the waiter was highly professional and let us sample all the options, the quality and taste weren't as impressive this time, so we opted for cocktails instead. After dinner, we headed to the bar down the hall, overlooking Bryant Park's Winter Village and ice-skating rink. Enjoying the cozy atmosphere with good friends was the perfect way to spend a weekend night. Although the bar officially closed at 1 a.m., in our experience, they're happy to stay open a bit longer for guests. The bartender even created an incredible guava-based cocktail for us and sent over additional rounds on the house--it was truly amazing! We left feeling well cared for and appreciated.

This is our 2nd visit to this beautiful restaurant/lounge/bar, the service, the decor, the view are truly 10 out of 10, unfortunately that were the good review ends. The food in the fine dining section was not fine at all, it was very disappointing. Ive ordered the ribeye steak and honestly it was one of the worst ribeye steak I've ever had, it was chewy, it was tough and I literally had to take it out of my mouth because it was impossible to eat. The dish that my wife ordered which was some sort of mushroom that looks wired and was not very good. Even the fries which looked promising were not good, zero crunch and completely soft. The desert was ok, the espresso martini was good. We will be back for a drinks and the atmosphere but not for dinner.

It has a stunning view of both Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. The service was great and the food was great. It only offers prefixed menus at the dining room. The options were $165 for a 3-course or $225 for a 5-course meal. For us the 3-courses were just right, not to mention that the chef offered both pre meal and after meal treats.

Has a great ambience of exclusivity from the moment you have to check in before getting into the elevator and the ground floor,. Nice darkened hallway that opens up to some amazing views of the city, particularly at night! Service was very attentive despite being busy, and has a very luxurious but professional attitude. Had great expectations of the chef prepared food, which were displayed very artistically, but unfortunately tasted pretty average tobland. Small portions, and a little disappointed that the food wasn't quite as tasty as I would expect for a high-end club. For example, the Wagyu didn't taste any different than a ground sirloin tartar and certainly not high-quality A5 Wagyu. Next time, I may go here for the drinks and maybe an appetizer, but certainly not for fine dining.

You knew coming here would be pricey. You're here because of your American Express status, and the concierge scored you a reservation. On the 55th floor, you're soaking in the stunning views, including the Chrysler Building. Great photo ops! I came for social drinks and small bites. The cocktails were great, even with the giant ice cube. I ordered the tuna tartare--it was super fresh and delicious. I also had the DB burger, which was solid, but was it worth $35? Definitely not. As for the cheese board, I'd skip it--limited selection and not worth it.

The view is spectacular. You can see the Chrysler building straight on. The restaurant is well lit and very spacious. They have three bars in the restaurant. The casual, a la carte bar attached to the restaurant. They also have a speakeasy with high end alcohol (read: it was $75 to $85 for ONE cocktail). They also have The Carbon room, which is a separate room that can be rented out for parties. The Carbon room has the best view of the Chrysler building. The service was expected. They were very professional. The food was somewhat of a mismatch compared to the views and the service. I had the Chef's tasting menu and my husband chose the prixe fixe a la carte. Chef's Tasting menu --The foccacia bread was warm and fresh butter tasted amazing. --White asparagus & caviar - no distinguishing flavor. I felt like the caviar was a plug in just to justify the price or conveniently elevate this dish. --Warm hamachi - good flavor, but better at a sushi restaurant --Live norwegian langoustine and uni - teh langoustine was overcooked, uni, again, not that fresh --Dry -aged rib-eye and black truffle - I asked for medium rare and received medium well. For a chef's menu priced at $250, I hope the steak to be cooked correctly. I had to send this back. It returned medium rare, but still flavorless. --Brillat Savarin - Two very thin slices of bread and some brie. Again, some truffle on top to justify the price and elevate this basic dish. --Caramelized Honey Cremeux - This was completely melted. I didn't realize this till I reached the center, which was actual ice cream. Overall, the quality control of the food leaving the kitchen is poor. I will not return, especially since it is difficult to make a reservation and the price is quite high.

I only expected good ambience and amazing city views,but was pleasantly surprised that the food turned out to be the highlight!!! For the drinks we ordered Pina colada ( good) and something with beetroot which we loved more. It's been a couple of weeks so I don't remember the names of all the dishes but posting pics hoping it helps Everything we ordered tasted delicious, well cooked and aromatic. Went for Mr's bday for which they provided complimentary chocolate cake. Highly recommend this one! Yes it's expensive, but food and views and the entire experience justifies the $$$$$$$

Honey ice cream

This place is one of a kind. Located in One Vanderbilt, the entrance seems like an inconspicuous office building, but there was a nice desk with CENTURION on it. We were guided upstairs to a table with a great view of downtown Manhattan and the Empire State. The Chrysler building was to my left and the rest of Manhattan was right in front of me. The service was playful and cheery. During our meal, they made sure to coordinate the arrival of the dishes and place them on the table simultaneously two at a time. They also routinely gave us new utensils and cleared the table. Our primary server showed us around after our dinner and brought us to the wine room which had a western view of Manhattan. After being astounded by the alcohol prices, we settled on three cocktails: dark and creamy which had a strong coconut flavor and very little alcohol, orchard old fashioned which tasted like a light old fashioned with an apple aftertaste, and the 2-1-2 which tasted like sweet herbal medicine in a good way. The drinks were all pleasant, but with very little alcohol. For the tasting menu, we started with a rendition of an everything lox bagel but it was in a wonton shell. A little lox, a little cream cheese topped with everything seasoning could never go wrong so it was a good palate opener. This was followed by an aged cheddar bite which was also very savory and had an exterior like a pineapple bun. Both of these starters were heavier than I expected, but worked well because this was only a 6 course menu and every dish was small. They also gave baguettes and these small Asiago bagels throughout the meal which topped us off. The honey nut squash soup was very sweet which paired well with the cream and small pickled vegetables and I think this was my favorite dish of the night. This was followed by a warm hamachi which had a diverse texture palate between the soft porridge, crispy bits, and the fish. The ponzu sauce was the highlight of this dish and the rest was not memorable. The langoustine came next and it was good but unremarkable. The orzo was fun to eat and I recall that texture more than the langoustine. The dry aged ribeye came as the main dish and it was a good slice of meat. However, I did not get the chimichurri flavor at all... the sauce just tasted like a jus. I liked the piece of fat? on the side which had an explosion of flavor. As a palate cleanser, they served a raspberry ice cream with raspberry gel and dried raspberry and while delicious, it was very sweet so my palate did not feel very cleansed. Onto the desserts, the walnut raisin bread was soft and the raisins were a nice sweet surprise in the cheese and black truffle combo. This cheese was as light as a brie and made for a great spread. After, we were presented with a hive-looking ice cream which was another highlight for me. I really liked how the kumquat sweetness differed from the honey everywhere else. Finally, they presented us with some petit four options but there was 5 options. The caramel chocolate bit was the best one out of the bunch, followed by the almond cookie, bonbon, gelatin, and I don't even remember the other one. This place was an incredibly unique experience with some of the best service I've ever had, but the food was a little lackluster. I would highly recommend visiting once or going for a corporate event. This all came out to $350.

Came here for a couple of drinks. Reservation was organized via Amex concierge and it was somewhat seamless. The space is located on the 55th floor of One Vanderbilt. As soon you get off the elevator you should be impressed with the deco of the place, then you keep walking and see how amazing the views are. There are 3 sections here - the bar, a fancy restaurant and a less fancy restaurant (which was still fancy). Cocktails start at $20+. As I only came here for a couple of drinks, I ordered some fries. They were nice enough to serve us fresh warm bread. The butter that came along with it was so good. I wish I could take it home, I later found out it was imported from France. Service was top notch and prompt. Decor down to plates and utensils used were top notch. Views are just breathtaking. Would love to come here as a regular if the reservation process was easier ie. You don't have to call the Amex concierge every time.

The RW menu was nice and well worth it, but as for me, I saw something else that I would rather have than the choices on the RW menu. I decided to go with the duck confit, but I did not read the menu thoroughly to see what side it came with. When it came out I saw it was with Flageolet bean Ragout which unfortunately I cannot eat, so I had to let Anna our server know. I was hoping she would keep the duck and just replace the side, but it looked like they made a completely new order, what service. My wife and son both ordered from RW menu and chose the boeuf bourgigninon which was so delicious, very tender beef and smooth mashed potatoes. We decided to also order escargot and French onion soup. Our service was just amazing from Anna our main server and the support servers who brought out our orders and to those who made sure our glasses were never empty. Of course the prefixe dessert was also delicious. Just super happy we learned that it was restaurant week and that we were able to experience it.

The pate was SO good, I get it again to be honest. Then came the entrees, we ordered the medium well steak frites and pan seared stripped bass. The steak came out rare and the fish was okay, it could have been a bit more seasoned for my personal taste. I traded dishes with my partner because I can't eat rare steak but he can. We also got the peach ice cream dessert and the dessert of the day which was a coconut gelatin(?) dish and it was AMAZING. Overall experience was good, the only thing that was kinda a miss was the entrees.

I was at this bistro, open since 1949, with a group a while ago. I had also gone in 2016, or…read moresomething similar, so it had been a while. The service was friendly, and as is typical for a spot like this, most of the clientele was on the older end. I don't believe anyone in our group had a drink apart from an iced tea, and after ordering, they brought out some bread with some butter. I wish the sliced baguette was warm, or at least the butter was slightly heated (or better yet whipped), but it worked to whet the appetite. In terms of food, they have a $45 pre-theater prix fixe, but we were there past 6:30, so we ordered à la carte. My appetizer was the tasty $15 Pâté de Campagne, or homemade country pork spread. The portion was much larger than expected, and it was served with some greens, cornichons, and some Dijon mustard. There was a good amount of fat in it, which made it rich and gave it a nice mix of textures. The cornichons, greens, and Dijon helped with the richness by either pairing with the pâté or by cleansing the palate. The leftover bread also went well. Overall, I liked it a lot. My main was a dish that doesn't appear to be on the menu anymore. This was the Filet de Bar Grillé au Champagne for $34, consisting of a filet of branzino with mixed vegetables and a champagne beurre blanc sauce. While not the biggest portion, the skin was nicely crispy, and the meat was tender and flavorful. The sauce on the bottom was slightly rich, but not so much that it overpowered the fish. I liked the vegetable mix as well, which added texture and additional flavors. Other people enjoyed the hanger steak, among other things. For dessert, I had the $12 Île Flottante, or Floating Island. This is a classic French dessert, consisting of a meringue on top of a crème anglaise, and I wish more places had it. The meringue had a soft texture, and it wasn't overly sweet even with the caramel. The crème anglaise was prepared properly as well, with my only possible complaint being that it lacked a bit of vanilla flavor, but that's just being picky. I vaguely remembered this place being good the last time I was there back in 2016 or so, but this time it was better. The Pâté was excellent, the fish was good, and the Floating Island was good as well.
