Truly amazing fine dining experience. I rarely give out full 5 stars in all categories for any level of restaurant, but this hit it out of the park for food, service, and atmosphere. Made me so happy. Food: 5. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 4 (pre-theater 3 course for $160) Opentableable: no but Resy Return worthiness: yes Eve award: most beautiful plating Highlights - Staff nice professional, friendly, warm, and not stuffy at all. From the GM to water and hostess to the rest of the staff, they were so kind and authentic. The gm came to check in with us and was so personable--not just the standard how's your meal and leave. The sommelier was specific with her recommendations and was oozing with passion for what she does. The hostess even came to chat interested in our show and was so sweet. I used the wrong spoon and the staff said they wouldn't hold it against me ;-) Our waiter Francisco was so generous to accommodate my husbands dislike for a few items to swap them out. And bonus for being amused by my comment of the foie strawberry layer looking like a fruit roll up ;-) Superb service is so rare these days and this team was top notch--in both their efficiency and hospitality. They made our experience exceptional. 5+ stars - Amuse a set of many bites that were delightful. From a razor clam papaya tart to a gelee to raw fluke in coconut water. Loved that we were gifted these even with the shortened menu. Classy and much appreciated. 5 stars - Foie with strawberries: such a playful take with half moons lined with strawberries a la a fruit roll up. Small Japanese style strawberry halves were also included as well as bits of hazelnut. Biggest surprise was the honeycomb: so crunchy and delicate and delicious. The standard brioche pairing also had personality being in a layered cube. 5 stars - Cod: the fish itself was simple and tender, but the accompaniments made the dish. Red bell pepper was formed into the thinnest carpaccio circles, was set on a pool of thin red pepper sauce, and topped with a lovely perfectly crispy squash blossom. 5 stars - Chocolate dessert: like. Flatter souffle with coffee type liquid inside paired with a whiskey custard type shot glass. 5 stars - Duck: pristine slices of duck breast with the perfect of fat and skin. Tasty and sleeper was the super smooth cauliflower puree with a crevice of olive oil and the pistachio dollop. 4.5 stars - 2 bread courses: a lovely savory Bundt cake to start followed by a small pretzel bun intermezzo before the entree. More surprise and delight I enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Bonus desserts: mini tart and hazelnut chocolate were fantastic. 4.5 stars - Chocolate orb with banana and brownie inside. Stunning presentation. 4 stars - Elegant dining room which was open with dim circular booths around the perimeter and large colorful modern art paintings on the walls. - Artsy plating: was so impressive with the mix of colors and textures and empty space. - Lovely plate, glassware, cutlery: adds to the modern feel - Wines: different selections you could tell were thoughtfully chosen. - Champagne from a small town not from Epernay or Reims and a still white with a grape I had never heard of. Midlights: - Filled beignet in the amuse was a bit odd in texture: looked like it might be a bit crispy but was mooshy outside and in. 3 stars - Duck sausage: texture was grainy similar to blood sausage so not our thing. 3 stars Lowlights: - I would've loved more wine or cocktails but was headed to a show without intermission so was being conservative with my liquid inter. read more

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by incredibly well mannered and friendly staff. The ambiance and decor of the place is simple yet interested. I really wished they would have had Toto toilets with warm seats that always adds a touch of luxury. I really enjoyed that they asked if we were celebrating any special occasion and if we had someplace to be afterwards. They timed our meal perfectly so my friends were able to catch their show and we were able to catch our train. The food was spectacular, just so much care and thought in every piece of food they presented. And although there were many small bites I left feeling satisfied. My favorite was the smoked tart! A most. I tried the duck breast at the recommendation of the bartender but I think I wouldn't get this again. The bacon flambé that we shared was not great, I thought it would be warmer. I loved the art of the foods at $200 for a 3 course meal is a bit expensive but it's a lovely experience. read more

Hands down the most special dining experience I have ever had. I was taken here on a date and we did the Chef's Tasting Menu, which was just unbelievable. I was in awe throughout the entire experience. I'll start with the bar, we took seats there while we waited for our table. Their drink menu was insane and I was really excited to see they had a mocktail menu too. I got the drink Edelweiss, which was perfect in so many ways. We were brought to a table in the corner, which was huge for two people. Super cozy seating, just felt so fancy and special and romantic, the setting here is just magical. I cannot rave enough about the service. I mean the second I finished my food someone arrived to clear, the moment it looked like I may need more water, someone came over. Top notch, I mean it's all about the experience at these kinds of restaurants and it really was perfect. The Chef's tasting was just, insane. I had never had food like this before. Each course was more and more jaw dropping and stunning, it really was such an art. I was with the best kind of company to be honest, we are both goof balls and couldn't really understand what the server was saying when he brought out the food so technically we didn't always know what we were eating but it was all good. The dessert was out of this world. I have seriously never had a dessert this good in my entire life. We had joked in the beginning of the meal that we were celebrating our anniversary when the server asked even though this was our third date and the server played into it when he brought our dessert with Happy Anniversary spelled out in chocolate with a candle. It was hilarious. I mean, we have since broken up so aye that was bad luck but it was still the best dining experience I have ever had. Highly highly recommend. Also we were seeing a show afterwards so we were a little pressed for time and the server did an amazing job of making sure all of the courses were brought out in a timely fashion to get to our show on time. Huge thank you for that. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 Disclaimer: This review has been sitting in my drafts for many years, so take it for what it's worth. I was looking forward to finally trying this restaurant, but honestly it didn't live up to expectations. Not that it was bad, just not all that memorable, which should never be the case when you pay the type of prices these meals cost. The only dishes that really stood out was the Smoked Eel Velouté. The Siberian Sturgeon Caviar and Seared Sullivan County Foie Gras were excellent, but can you really go that wrong with these incredible ingredients? Most of the other dishes were decent, but nothing I will remember in a few weeks. Service was fine but felt a bit cold, as does the space. Honestly, I was never really comfortable the whole time I was there. Everything was just not bad, but that's not what I was looking for. read more

Perfect place for special occasions. Location: Street level of Grace building across from Bryant Park. Ambience: high ceilings, spacious, simple elegance. Separate round bar area in front. Main dining room separated by architectural elements. Definitely 2 Michelin Stars decor vibe. Most of the crowd were either groups of business men in suits for business dinner or couples, likely for special occasions. Service: Attentive, team service. Food: Alsace-French food. Alsacian tartes are a specialty. We got mushroom with added truffles ($85 add on), Crispy thin crust and earthy mushrooms. Tasty but not sure the truffle added that much to the flavors in this case. Smoked sturgeon tarte with caviar was stellar, such a delicate flavor. The foie terrine was highest quality and so creamy and the accompaniments were the perfect pairing. For entree, we had duck and squab. The duck was good sized in portion, juicy and exceptional flavor. For me, the squab was just ok. I like my squab with a crispier skin and more of the fat rendered. The trade is the meat is very tender and juicy inside. Dessert: delicate and tasty overall. Not overly sweet. We had 3 and they were all excellent. The chocolate soufflé Tarte was beautiful as well with signature crane design on top. I enjoyed the meal but nothing I crave daily, so this is probably going to be a special occasions kind of place for me (price point and time commitment). Definitely recommend for business dinner or special occasions. read more

Okay, so generally I don't do well at super fancy restaurants. However, our dinner last night at the Chef's Table at Gabriel Kreuther was the best meal I've had in twenty years and possibly ever. Each course was individually distinctive and collectively they were mind blowing. Inventive, fascinating, beautiful, memorable. And the staff, particularly Jeremy, were incredible. Five stars is not enough. read more

Came for an anniversary dinner and was absolutely blown away. Every team member ensured every detail of our night was absolutely perfect. Everything we ate was to die for, from the tasting menu items to the amuse bouche. Months later we are still reminiscing over a little white chocolate cube filled with passionfruit that started off our journey at Gabriel Kreuther. The sommelier made sure we could find a bottle that could complement our different meals that was within our budget. Not a dull moment during this experience, definitely a splurge but beyond worth it. read more

Went to Gabriel to celebrate my husband's birthday, and we absolutely loved it! Getting a reservation for a reasonable time on a Friday was surprisingly easy -- a rare win for a Michelin-starred spot. What really stood out to me was the flexibility of the menu. There were options for different dining styles and price points, which I wish more fine dining restaurants would offer. Whether you're going all-in or keeping it a bit more low-key, there's something for everyone. The space itself is beautiful, and the staff struck the perfect balance of kind, funny, and attentive. They made the night feel special without being overly formal. We chose the blind chef's tasting menu, and while it was a lot of food for me, everything was absolutely delicious. Highlights included the La Belle Foie Gras Terrine, Citrus-Cured Long Island Fluke Crudo, Sturgeon & Sauerkraut Tart, Squid Ink Orecchiette, Red Wine Marinated Golden Bass and Hay-Smoked, Two-Week Aged Hudson Valley Duck Breast -- each dish more memorable than the last. And yes, A LOT of food. We paired our meal with cocktails (all hits, no misses), and the desserts were truly out of this world. If you go, do not skip the chocolate -- you'll thank yourself later. All in all, we had a fantastic time. It was the perfect place for a celebration, and I'd return in a heartbeat. read more

I had been looking forward to trying Gabriel Kreuther, and while there were definitely some great moments, the overall experience felt a bit underwhelming given the hype and price. We started off with bread that was soft and garlicky almost like a brioche which I really liked. It came with this green spread that had a sour cream or mayo flavor (still not sure exactly what it was), but it was actually really tasty. Then came the amuse-bouche, which included eggplant puffs--crispy on the outside, flavorful inside. There was also a mini beef tartare sandwich, which wasn't really my thing, and oysters, which were good but nothing super memorable. For the first course, I ordered the foie gras, which sadly just didn't hit. I've definitely had better this one came with a jelly-like side that just felt like fancy Jell-O, and the brioche bread it came with wasn't as buttery or soft as I prefer. The person I was with got the tuna, though, and I tried a bite it was flavorful, soft, and way better than my dish. Later they brought out warm sourdough rolls with honey-butter, and the bread was steaming hot so the butter melted perfectly honestly one of the highlights. For my main, I had the sea bass, and it was okay. Not bad, just not amazing. It came topped with relish, peppers, and pickles, which I personally didn't love it felt like they clashed with the delicate fish so I picked them off. The sauce was fine but kind of overwhelmed the fish, and I wish it had been served on the side. For the price, it just didn't wow me. Overall, the restaurant had some great components (the bread and butter combo, and the tuna), but for the cost, I expected more consistency and flavor across the board. It's a beautiful spot and the service is polished, but I probably wouldn't rush back. read more

This was a fantastic luxurious dining experience. The service was exquisitely kind. This was my first night out solo dining and the staff here made the experience so comfortable, even though most other customers were couples. The food was amazing with every bite just as delicate as the one before. The food was plated with precision, deserving of the Michelin stars. read more

(if only Yelp would let us give more!) Dining at the Chef's Table at Gabriel Kreuther isn't just a meal, it's a transcendent experience. From the moment we sat down, we were transported into a culinary journey where time seemed to stand still. What started at 7:15 PM gently unfolded until 10:45 PM, yet it felt like only moments had passed. That's the magic of this place. The evening began with the Chef himself graciously sharing his life story--a personal and rare moment of connection that set the tone for what was to come. Each course, and there were many (so many!), was a masterpiece. Visually stunning, technically perfect, and layered with intense, unforgettable flavors in every bite. It was almost too much to eat, but every morsel was too special to waste. What truly elevates this above even the most elite tasting experiences is the team of chefs--each of whom took time to walk us through the ingredients, techniques, and inspiration behind every dish. Their passion was palpable, their hospitality unmatched. Sitting at the Chef's Table is dinner and a show--but not in the traditional sense. It's an immersive, intimate glimpse into the soul of a kitchen in motion, orchestrated with precision and grace. Watching the culinary story unfold before us, we felt more like privileged guests than diners. Gabriel Kreuther's Chef's Table is where artistry, storytelling, and world-class cuisine converge. If I could give this infinity stars, I would. read more

Gabriel Kreuther, a 2 Michelin star restaurant, delivers an exceptional meal and service in such a convenient location across from Bryant park. Reservations are quite easy to book across a range of times and parties. The dining room is quite large with ample space between tables and wasn't noisy at all. I did find the plush booth seat to be quite far back though in terms of leaning back. The staff were immediately attentive, warm and engaging and they operated like a well-choreographed team. For dinner options, you can select a 3- or 4- course meal or chef's tasting menu (though I assume smaller portions) with menu available online. Two wine pairing options are also available in addition to a book of drink (wine) options. I opted for the chef's tasting menu - unfortunately I lost track/didn't keep down details of every dish and I wasn't given a menu copy. The highlights were the duck, sturgeon caviar tart, Long Island fluke. The foie gras was good and had an interesting presentation, like something out of the MoMA. The duck was excellently cooked with a lot of flavor and the caviar tart had just strong, powerful bites. Overall though I found the course to be well-polished but little to stand out. The service was fantastic and wine pairing complimented each dish well. I think it's a good value for the dishes and especially for a two-Michelin star restaurant. The tasting menu had a solid baseline but not a high ceiling with the best dishes, for instance comparing to the langoustine at Aska or tuna/salmon at Le Bernardin, having that "knockout" dish for me but still an excellent meal! read more

This place l've been dying to try to eat for over a year since I discovered it on social media. It also took me a mini Ute to write this review as I forgot I had the photos with busy life. I was not disappointed a bit. In fact this was probably one of the best meals l've ever had. And all I do is travel and eat at the best restaurants in the world, and this is definitely in my top 5 restaurants I love! Every single dish I had just blew my mind, jaw dropping and just wow. Service was amazing as expected. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Decor was modern and beautiful. Didn't feel pretentious at all. Just soothing. Over all, can't wait to come back! read more

This week, I had the pleasure of dining at Gabriel Kreuther to celebrate my birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the service was on point--attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. Everyone, from reception to our servers, congratulated us, and we even received a personally signed card from the chef, which made the night extra special. We opted for their 4-course prix fixe menu. Since our selected wine wasn't ready, we were offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to start. Throughout the meal, amuse-bouches between courses added delightful surprises, making the experience even more exciting. First course * La Belle Foie Gras Terrine - delicious start, paired with pistachio, wild rice streusel, and marble brioche. The foie gras was smooth and rich. * Cashew & Wild Mushroom Pâté with Ossetra Caviar - one of my favorites! The earthy mushroom flavors paired beautifully with the salty caviar. Mid course * Sturgeon & Sauerkraut Tart - a GK's signature dish, and I see why! The imperial kaluga caviar and applewood smoke took it to another level. Every bite was incredible. * Gewürztraminer Poached Sullivan County Foie Gras - served with quince consommé, artichoke, and ginger froth, and it had a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Entree * Hay-Smoked Two-Week Aged Hudson Valley Duck Breast - was perfectly cooked, tender, smoky, and packed with rich flavors of blistered cranberries, parsnip cream, and sweet potato. * Spiced Red Venison Loin - cooked very well, the slight sweetness of the cranberries complements the dish beautifully. Dessert * Chestnut Mont Blanc with Vanilla Cake - light, airy, and delicious. * Chocolate Tart Soufflé - I only had a bite since I'm not a chocolate fan, but my boyfriend loved it. Additionally, I received a special complimentary dessert with a personalized congratulatory message--such a lovely touch! This was easily one of the best fine dining experiences of my life. If you're looking for an exceptional meal in an elegant setting, Gabriel Kreuther is a must-visit--perfect for any special occasion! read more

My soulmate and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary at this beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere was so elegant, but not too stuffy. We noticed a few customers did not wear a suit jacket.

We enjoyed every item, even the buttery bread. We will be back for more! read more

My sister took me here for a birthday lunch, and it was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. Everything was perfect -- from the beautiful room to the attentive and welcoming staff to the birthday card placed on the table from Gabriel Kreuther, and the delicious lemony birthday dessert. Everything we ate was incredible, and so beautifully and artistically arranged. (Don't miss the foie gras as an appetizer and the duck as a main course.) The little "extras" (amuse- bouche, chocolates, miniature pretzel rolls between courses, etc.) were also so interestingly prepared and absolutely delicious. (And thank you, Carlos, for the macarons!)

I haven't eaten in a Michelin restaurant in so long. I truly enjoyed everything I ate at Gabriel Kreuther. Jesus was our waiter but everyone in the restaurant works together. I loved that they have us extras like kombucha, tequila, chocolate. We all ordered from the 3 course price fixed many. I ordered the tuna for my appetizer and the trout for my entree and your pizzelle for my dessert. We also ordered two bottles of wine and that was delicious as well. The service was immaculate and the ambience spectacular. Sometimes you have to treat yourself to a wonderful meal. read more

Wow! what a great experience visiting this very upscale and Michelin rated restaurant right near Bryant park. We were here for a corporate event and there was a private room that was reserved for us. The interior is simply gorgeous with very spacious seating's with plenty of lighting due to the large windows in the front. Our private event was downstairs which actually is not very visible and you feel like you really have the space to yourself. We were served hors d'oeuvres to start us off which were all very hard to pronounce, but if were to describe, there were Potato bites, mushroom bites and tuna tartar bites. For the main course I decided to go with the steak, which was so well done that I still remember the taste. Finally we were served dessert, and I decided to get the "Chocolate Tart Soufflé" which just simply melted in the mouth. Personally I do not follow Michelin star restaurants, but a few folks in the group did and they were very excited just to be there. For me the whole experience including the ambiance, service food and the decor was simply top notch. read more

came for a company sponsored dinner the other evening at this fine 2 star mischelin establishment and can confirm it did not disappoint i started with some small bites that included aranchini, shrimp bites, and flatbread that was all savory and delicious french restaurants always have the best bread and this spot did not disappoint all bread came soft and warm. especially the butter and other accompanying dips, i could have left happy with just that for the mains i had the salmon and another fish that were both cooked to perfection dessert i had a passion fruit cheesecake that i found myself licking the plate clean. they also handed out some little chocolates that i couldnt get enough of was also able to order a mint tea that paired very well with all the desserts and chocolates which i needed as my night cap. servers were on their game i constantly had water. need to come back for a tasting menu! read more

I'm just gonna say it: this place was too fancy for me haha. It was an interesting experiencing to say the least. The food was amazing. I'd expect nothing less from a Michelin-star restaurant that cost $500 per person. I don't remember everything I ate but I remember near the end I was like "oh man i'm full". Service was impeccable, although I'm pretty sure out waited thought we were out of our depths being at a restaurant as fancy as this one and not dressed to the nines. The couple at the table next to ours were also mocking us for our uncouthness. Sorry we don't shell out $500 every week to eat at fine dining restaurants. Most people don't have that kind of money to spare. Needless to say, I did like the food and maybe one day, we'll go back when we have more money to throw around. read more

The atmosphere is good, the service is first-class, do not look at the waiter, because a casual glance, or a small move, he will come right away! Cost-effective is medium, can be regarded as "spend a small amount of money loaded big force" how to say is also M two ah Meals are optional, with 3-Course and 4-Course or the brainless $255 chef tasting Menu It was quite good, there were one or two amazing dishes, but overall it was delicious The speed of serving food is ok, and will not be sleepy read more

We had a pleasant Monday evening. It was 70% filled on a Monday night which isn't bad. Service was attentive. *Complimentary bread was YUMMM. *Amuse Bouche was okay, not very memorable. First Course *Foie Gras Terrine & Country Pâté - very good, love the layering. Simple and delicious. *Citrus Marinated Langoustine Tartare - a bit too shrimp flavor driven, I think they cook the langustine head into the sauce. Texture was good though. Mid Course *Sturgeon & Sauerkraut Tart - tart was very delicate and flaky. Smoked sturgeon was good. Maybe too much sauerkraut. *Baked East Coast Diver Scallop - fav dish, cooked very well and love the miso truffle sauce. Entree *Ora King Salmon Cooked on Cedar Wood - cooked very well. The veggie at the bottom seemed pickled. The acidity works nicely with the fatty salmon. *Hay Smoked-Two Week Aged Duck Breast - cooked very well, love the different types of sauce presented. A very fall feeling dish. Dessert *Fig Carpaccio - okay *Coffee & Hazelnut Craquelin - our favorite. Perfecto combination of ice cream, mousse, and Craquelin. YUMMM. *Stone Fruit & Caramel Parfait - it was okay. Should have got Chocolate Truffle instead...!! Petit Four was very cute, well presented and delicious! Not sure about 2 Star but overall we had a great night! read more

Have been longing to go to Gabriel kreuther for couple of years. I don't know why I didn't make out time earlier to be here. Place is a gem. A gem where it is right next to Bryant park. A gem where place is well design for dining experience. A gem where no matter 3,4 or even chef tasting menu are all accommodate to all type of people. I love it. We had chefs tasting menu which consists of 7 courses. (But they have so many complimentary small dish ). Starting with appetizer, it is refreshing. I love the freshness to start the meal. We had ravioli, tartar, fluke and duck breast for main entry. Every single dish is exceptional. I like the duck breast the most. Desert is the most disappointing part. I wish they could go with some traditional French dessert but ended with a strawberry styled something(sorry I am bad at names). I just felt like it didn't match with my expectations. Overall, a solid dinner for me. I would give 4.5 for the food. read more

Easily one of the best fine dining experiences of my life! Decided to go with the 4 course prix fixe menu and it was layered with surprises. I was astounded by some of the flavor pairings that were done - the highlight being the foie gras terrine with this amazing citrusy gelatin. Was one of those enthralling, spiritual moments that reminds you why fine dining experiences are worth the price. The $195 menu is one of the best deals around as far as fine dining goes in Manhattan! Service was white glove as expected and executed flawlessly throughout the meal. The sommelier also came up with brilliant suggestions. The bottle we settled on complemented each course perfectly - sweet and savory - which is an incredibly difficult feat. Will definitely be back! read more

2 Michelin stars for a reason! Made reservations online and was greeted and seated promptly for an early dinner reservation on a Friday night before our Broadway show. Service was amazing throughout and we really enjoyed the Chef Tasting menu! It took the two of us about 2 hours to get through everything and we were so full! When you check in, they will ask if you need to leave at a certain time prior to a show so they make sure to accommodate your needs. There was also a vegetarian option of the Chef Tasting Menu as we overheard the table next to us order that and they seemed to enjoy it. We opted for the Chef Tasting Menu because we wanted to be surprised and delighted with the items that came to us, and we were told it had more of the tableside flair/performance of pulling the dish together, which we really enjoy. read more

Gabriel Kreuther delivered a refined, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying dining experience. We chose to sit in the lounge area, which offered a more relaxed yet still elegant atmosphere, and were expertly served by Katie, who also serves as the head bartender. Her service was impeccable -- warm, attentive, and knowledgeable -- and her depth of understanding when it comes to spirits is truly impressive. On the food front, we started with the scallop carpaccio with caviar, which was beautifully presented and delicately textured, though it leaned just slightly undersalted for our taste. That minor note aside, the rest of the meal was outstanding: the Alsatian sausage was rich and perfectly seasoned, the poached foie gras was luxurious and balanced, and both the duck breast and squab were cooked perfectly. Overall, this is a top-tier dining experience that lives up to its reputation -- excellent cuisine, standout service, and a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. Highly recommended. read more

What an amazing experience all around, starting with the excellent staff both front of house as well as service. Every bite was wonderful and the knowledge our server and sommelier brought to our meal were spot on. The lamb saddle and slow cooked lamb accompaniment, the sweetbreads, the bread and cheese/chive sauce, all fantastic, dry aged tuna, the tartare, the amuse bouches, just wonderful all around. Cannot recommend enough! Will be back on our next trip from DC. read more

Amazing restaurant and amazing service. I got the prix fixe option and was absolutely blown away with the craftsmanship of the dishes.

What I got: - Foie Gras Terrine - Scallop - Duck Breast - (cant remember the name of the dessert) I came here for my birthday and they threw in this cute little cake as well. I want to say it was pistachio flavored but I can't tell besides the fact that it was green. Amazing place and I can't wait to come back again! read more

Came here with my family to celebrate my birthday along with my 2 kids age 7 and 9. It's not my first time here so needless to say, it is one of my favorite restaurant in the city hence I wanted to come back for the special occasion. Gabriel Kreuther is one of very few fine dining restaurants in nyc that, in my opinion, welcomes and accommodates children (some say they do but will tell you kids will also need to order the tasting menu). We opted for their 4 course prix fixe menu for each adult and they were very easy going in terms of how we want to order for our kids. We decided to order one more prix fixe menu for both kids to share and in addition, we ordered an extra entree and their applewood smoked bacon tarte flambée to share. The flambée, although I didn't get a chance to try it because both of my kids devoured it in no time, was said to be the best "pizza" ever according to my kids. Their amuse bouche was impressive and abundant. Each little bite was refreshing and well executed and it was like a mini 4 course meal before we dive into our actual meal. I ordered their spiced tuna loin as my first course. It was refreshing and well seasoned and I loved the added texture from the melon. The smokiness and acid from the tomato water added another level of flavors and was well executed to bring out the freshness of the fish. I ordered the sturgeon and sauerkraut tart for my next course and this one never fails. It's amazing how there can be so many different flavors and textures in one little tart. The flavors were well balanced between the saltiness from the fish and caviar, the sourness from the sauerkraut, and the creaminess from the sabayon so it didn't feel very heavy at all. I ordered the duck for my entrée and this is one of my favorite dish. The duck was tender and cooked to a perfect medium, the skin was crispy and I think the ginger jus is genius. It can mask away the gamey taste from the duck and neutralize the heaviness of eating meat altogether. For my dessert, I ordered their citrus panna cotta. It was pretty, the fruits were fresh, and the acid was well balanced with the pomegranate sorbet and the panna cotta. This is the perfect dessert for a hot summer day. Their portion is generous. I was so stuffed that I was only able to eat 1 of the duck breast pieces. We had so much food that we had to pack some of the food home which is rare at fine dining restaurants. The 4 course menu at $195, in my opinion, is very reasonable especially when compared to how much the restaurant business increased their price post Covid. Since their portion size was so big, our party of 5 was able to taste many different dishes by ordering different items in their menu and sharing amongst ourselves. Their service was impeccable from the moment we walking into the restaurant until the time we walked out. Everyone was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. I've been to many Michelin rated restaurants in the city and this is definitely one of my favorite. Every dish was solid and well executed and I didn't have anything to complain about. This is the place I will continue to return over and over again. read more

Nothing particularly memorable. Overall still good. Relatively easy to book. Food looks better than tastes.

This was an amazing fine dining experience that we had in the city right across Bryant Park. They are well deserving of their two Michelin stars. We were greeted by fantastic hosts and hostesses, who made us truly feel welcome. The servers were very attentive, came very frequently, kept the table looking fresh in between each course. All of the staff members we encountered were so nice and accommodating. I can't say enough about how each of the staff went above and beyond for us. We went with the four course option and we were very happy with our choice. They were able to adjust the dishes to our dietary restriction's without issues. The courses that you picked are a first course, midcourse, entree, and dessert. However, in between each of these courses, we received complementary drinks and finger food to cleanse the palate in between each dish. Here were our selections: 1. Foie Gras & Pate - Diver Scallop - Smoked Duck Breast - Citrus Mousse 2. Asparagus & Snap Pea Salad - 4 Cheese Ravioli and Morel Mushrooms - Roasted Golden Bass - Buttermilk Panna Cotta For the entrée, I would highly recommend the duck breast which was very rich tasting, smoked to perfection, and had such a unique savory taste, and was nicely complemented by the sweet topping. Also really liked the Seabass which had a more mellow flavor, and all of the components of the dish complemented each other very well. Food was amazing, and each dish had several layers of flavor and texture, nothing like I have had in the past. This was truly a top of the line culinary experience. We left the restaurant very full and satisfied. I did a good amount of research before choosing this restaurant, and compared it to several other two star Michelin restaurants. My experience here was nothing but positive, and I would highly recommend this place. read more

This is such a wonderful place to go for a special occasion! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. The restaurant went above and beyond to make sure it was incredibly special. Chef Gabriel had signed a "Happy Birthday" note for me, and that was just the start. We went with the three course menu (other options are four course and chefs tasting menu). We then got the Bacon Flambé to share. To Share Bacon Flambé: 7/10 I was extremely disappointed in this dish. First of all I don't know why they are using the term "flambé" when this is a flatbread. It is a white cheese flatbread with bacon. Definitely not what I expected. It was still tasty though. The flambé and bacon tasted super smokey. It was very strong and a unique experience to be smelling something so strong and Smokey but the mouthfeel was so delicate. First/Mid Course Scallops: 8.5/10 The scallops were delicious! The truffle didn't come through that much, but I loved the mouthfeel of the foam and the thin slices of scallop. I expected the scallops to be bigger but they were thin and delicate. Ravioli: 9/10 You only get two ravioli but man are they delicious. They are perfectly cooked and the sauce is incredible. I highly recommend this dish! Second/Entree Course Duck: 10/10 The duck was incredible. The lives of meat were nice and thick and juicy. The skin was perfectly crispy and there was a nice thin layer of fat to make it very tender and create the perfect bite. If you don't order this you're missing out. Steak: 10/10 If you don't like duck, get the steak. The steak was incredibly soft and tender. It was perfectly cooked too. The side of potatoes was also delicious. I honestly don't know how to further describe these dishes because there are no words. I loved every bite! Dessert I have a nut allergy, which limited us. Kiwi dessert with coconut tapioca: 9/10 The kiwi sorbet was AMAZING! I had never tasted anything so smooth. It wasn't freezer burnt and the kiwi flavor was not artificial at all. The presentation was very cool too. The tapioca came in a kiwi and they put the sorbet on top. The dessert also came with a caramelized cake stick that tasted like banana bread. Our meal also came with free wine - to celebrate - and some hor dourves, which were presented nicely. We got some homemade specialty chocolate and jelly cubes. We also had the scallion bread with chive cheese dip. Absolutely incredible we embarrassingly ordered seconds. Overall the experience was incredible and the food was very good. I loved all the little surprises and supplements that made the meal even more special and over the top. The staff was so friendly and it was a birthday well spent! read more

Stopped in for the lunch menu - at $115 for the prix fixe, it's a solid deal that includes amuse bouche, bread service, 3 courses including dessert, and petit fours to wrap up. Beautiful, open space, it wasn't full but I couldn't hear any of the other tables. Service was sharp, pacing was good, food overall good but nothing blew me away. My favorite dish was the hay smoked duck - cooked perfectly, with an insane layer of skin, but could've used a touch of salt to bring everything together, and I didn't love the purees served with it. Additionally it felt like the broccoli rabe was just put on the plate but didn't integrate into the dish well as a whole. read more

This place was great. 5/5 stars for the food - Gabriel is a culinary and creative genius. Our experience started out a bit rocky - we were about 20 minutes early to our reservation. We grabbed a drink at the bar to kill time. The bartender was great - answered all our questions, and our drinks were amazing. We ordered the pear cider and the mocktail that started with an "e." We were seated almost 15 minutes after the start time of our reservation. Two parties who arrived after us were seated before us. We were given a round corner table, which was nice. When we went to order the chef's tasting menu, our server did not know what a "lacto ovo vegetarian" was - they assumed it was the same as being a vegan, so I explained what it meant. Normally I wouldnt mind this, but I'd assume at a place with two stars, they'd know. So I docked a star for this and the late seating. We did end up getting the chef's tasting menu - one for a tree nut allergy, and another for a lacto-ovo vegetarian- and it was absolutely incredible. Each course was more creative and delicious than the next - I can't remember everything we had, but I do remember liking the first bread course so much that we ordered another. This was a mistake because we then were too full to enjoy the final two courses of the meal. Wait until the end of the entire meal to repeat a course! The food included a traditional Alsatian bread with a fromage blanc/chive sauce, daikon ravioli, a mushroom pasta, artichokes in vegetable broth, a porcini gingerbread man, and lots of other creative dishes. Most of the food was "shut up and let me experience this because it's blowing my mind" good, and those that were not were still really really good. At the end they brought out a cake for my birthday in addition to the dessert courses. I also ordered the royal Tokaji which came out in a crystal spoon on a silver platter. The ambience was upscale romantic - the kind of place you'd propose at. The staff was patient and answered all of my questions. The food was incredible. I'll definitely be back here. read more

I had a very nice dinner here recently. The host was warm and friendly when I arrived--enough that I really remembered this. The drink list is cool and included some interesting spirits that I was not familiar with. This may be a chance to try something new. You will receive more than is listed for the tasting menu, as they bring out small bites as well as two different types of bread (at two different times, so not bad thing but a little wonky) between the courses. Even if individual dishes are not huge, you end up with a lot of food overall. A few of the in-between items were okay, not great, while the dessert and main course were delicious and beautifully presented. The excellent service and overall nice experience upped things a notch, though. read more
