    My husband and I came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon while we were in town with friends. I was skeptical because it was easy to get a last minute reservation and the reviews on Yelp are incredibly mixed. Upon walking downstairs to the restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised by the large but warm atmosphere of the dining space. Service was quick and efficient and I thought all of the food was fresh and delicious. We ordered a bunch of sushi family style as well as the chicken dumplings, fried chicken, agadashi tofu and mushroom fried rice. I was also delighted to find out that the Brussels sprouts cauliflower dish was roasted and not deep fried. Great restaurant option on the Upper East Side. Only con is that it is incredibly pricey, but everything else was tops.

    I visited Kappo Masa for my birthday and was very excited. The food was lovely, I loved the duck tacos and calamari which had hibiscus chips. I ordered a wide variety of sushi, which was good but not great. The service could have been a little better considering the waitress spilled the sake while serving and did not clean it up. They also failed to clear the plates before serving us the following courses. They also did not clean up in between any of the courses to ensure the table did not have any crumbs, etc. I was expecting excellency but the service was a solid B-.

    Everything about Kappo Masa is perfection. My husband and I came for omakase lunch and OH HOT DAMN was it good. Our chef, Jackie, was the man, as was our server Kim, and the manager, Rachel is fantastic. We even ft to meet the chef and he was great to chat with. When you come here you feel so taken care of. Also, take a look around, all the art is original, including a Picasso painting. Awesome. Anyway...back to the food. I couldn't get enough of it! The fish...the uni...the eel...the beef...everything was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. A special shoutout to the shrimp pasta, and an even more special shoutout to the roasted uni half shell. There have been very few times when I've eaten something that was so good it made me want to cry...the roasted uni was one of those things. Absolutely incredible. We also had the Lady M cake for dessert which was a great way to end one of the best meals of my life.

    A bird stuck in a glue trap set by this horrible restaurant

    This restaurant has a mouse problem and leaves glue traps outside their back entrance on 76th street trying to prevent mice from coming in. They plaster them all over the sidewalk- today there was a bird stuck on the trap. Don't eat here - they have mice and are despicable humans. Calling board of health on them tomorrow. Side note: I was able to take the bird to the bird sanctuary on that west side and they were able to free him - he lost all his tail feathers but they think he'll make it.

    Slurp! The sushi here is insane. Fresh and flavorful and delicious. Maybe Im just being emotional but Kappo Masa was life changing. The ambience is modern and chic. But the main attraction is the food. One has not experienced sushi until you've tried Kappo Masa. Just beware it does cost a pretty penny.

    Food was not worth the price. Very expensive for mediocre food. If you like good sushi, I would try some place else.

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The well-crafted cocktails present thoughtful riffs on the classics, inventive without being showy.

I opted for a pastel sour while my companion asked for a drink called The Last Word - it was no longer on the menu but they obligingly made it for us anyway. The menu consists of mostly small plates and is seafood forward, but we shared a petite dish of steak frites, tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Our server was very sweet but service was slow on the night, and by the time we received our utensils the food was cold. However we were not rushed and were able to linger a bit to finish our conversation. For those who savor finely concocted cocktails paired with fresh raw bar offerings in a salon-like setting, this is the spot for you.
