Every dish on the menu is incredible. And I'm 100% sure because we ordered every dish on the menu. The tomato martini! Loved this. It was a little sweet in a great way. Wish I had ordered two! The menu is really approachable and well curated so you don't get lost deciding what you want. The highlights I would definitely order again- roti, salt cod fritters, corn orzo, grilled prawn, braised oxtail, pan seared dorade, and peri peri chicken. Every bite was incredible, the prawn and peri peri chicken keep me up at night. Highly recommend, can't wait to come back. read more

Well, after reviewing multiple reviews prior to coming into the restaurant, I decided I would like to dine here and make my own decision on how the food is and how the ambience is so I went out and had a great night out with my girlfriend at Markette. So, I will start with my arrival- greeted by the hostess and she was lovely. I appreciate going to restaurants and being seated right away even if the full party is not there. So, they definitely get points for that. As for the food, the codfish fritters were good. But I will say it's more about potato croquette with a splash of cod fish. The flavor was good, but I do see why others may have negative views on them because they are seeking more of the codfish within. The fish was amazing. I would definitely order that again. The dessert was also very good.. I will say my only issue was the delay, getting our drinks which were non-alcoholic and our entrées. Our waitress felt disconnected when it came to staying on top of our orders. The question is would I go again?!?!? I will see, this is a black owned business so I definitely like to support black own restaurants. read more

Lived up to the hype. I'm still slightly shocked that Marakette is tucked away in such a rugged-looking location just a few blocks from Penn Station. You wouldn't necessarily expect to stumble upon it here, which makes the restaurant feel like a bit of a discovery. The art, colors, and overall design are full of touches inspired by African and Caribbean diaspora culture from the paintings down to the silverware. It's thoughtful, colorful, and gives the space a real sense of identity without feeling forced. My partner really enjoyed the entire meal, which made it an especially good choice since we were celebrating her birthday. We did the Restaurant Week special, and it was well worth it. The peri-peri chicken and fries are an absolute must -- both were fantastic. They were also sweet enough to surprise us with a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely birthday touch. My disconnect: I felt like the staff was upselling quite a bit throughout the meal. Nothing terrible, but it did take away slightly from the otherwise relaxed experience. One last note, the downstairs bar looks like it could be a very solid post-work hangout. I'd definitely come back to check it out. Great food, great atmosphere, and a surprisingly good find near Penn Station. read more

Went during restaurant week with a reservation. The service was great. Everyone was professional and attentive. The food was also great it had lots of amazing flavors. Thr oysters were fresh and juicy. The chicken was juicy but perfectly charred and the sauces were delicious. The cocktails were also great. After dessert we were told about the cocktail lounge downstairs which we were walked down to and a reservation was made. read more

Note: Review is for Restaurant Week. Recommendations: Salt Cod Fritters, Peri Peri, Dorade, Duck Fat Frites, and Ice Cream I went with a group last week to this popular new restaurant for their Summer Restaurant Week, which they recently extended to August 30th. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the interesting menu, which has some European and Caribbean influences. The inside space was warm with nice plating, though I found it a bit loud. Like many of the other nicer spots, it's three courses for $60 outside of tax and tip, of course, but instead of having supplements, they have add-ons/side dishes to go along with the main dishes. Overall, I liked the food, though I would steer towards certain dishes instead. My appetizer choice was the Tuna Crudo with cantaloupe, aji charapita, and tostones. The tostones, or rather a "tostón," as there was one, was on top of a pretty-looking bowl with a bright orange sauce that included a handful of tuna, some cantaloupe, a few pieces of avocado, and some microgreens. I wish there were more tuna, but the flavor was nice, with a little heat and a mildly creamy, citrusy taste with a bit of sweetness from the cantaloupe. The tostón had an interesting texture, as it wasn't fried too much, so it had a bit of softness, and it was nice to dip into the sauce. Overall, outside of the lack of tuna, it was good, and I think it would work better texturally if the tuna was in bigger chunks/slices. Another person ordered their signature Salt Cod Fritters with scotch bonnet aioli. She liked the fritters a lot but found the aioli quite spicy, which wasn't surprising to me. I tried a bit of the aioli, which was indeed spicy, but not too much for me, though I do have a very high spice tolerance. Another person ordered the remaining appetizer choice, the Bibb Salad with sour cream & onion and everything crumble, which she enjoyed. My main dish of choice was their signature Peri Peri Chicken with green goddess and chicken jus. The dish has a gorgeous presentation, with interlacing sauces and additional small ramekins of each sauce on this side. The latter was much appreciated, as I like adding more peri peri, while another person who got the same dish liked adding the latter. The chicken was juicy with a crispy exterior, which had a little kick to it. The peri peri had a good amount of heat, which was balanced by the creamy and herbal green goddess. The jus on the bottom was less notable, but still tasty. This was excellent and probably my second favorite peri peri I've had, next to the more traditional version from the Portuguese spot Leitao. If I had to make a complaint, I think a side salad or similar would go well, but it seems the dish on the regular menu has something extra. I got a side of Crispy Rice for $8, which was fine. It had some crisp and a small bit of another type of grain for extra texture. Much better were their excellent Duck Fat Frites for $14, which came with another type of aioli. The fries were large but still crispy on the outside, reminding me of a better version of typical steak fries. A couple of the other people liked the Pan-Roasted Dorade with plantain, Swiss chard, and chermoula, while no one got the vegetarian option, the Corn Orzo with Oaxaca cheese, salsa macha, and jalapeño. For dessert, I got the alright Peach Cheesecake with oat cookie crust and Sauternes. I liked the crust, and the cheesecake wasn't overly sweet, with a decent side sauce, presumably made from said peach and Sauternes, that had a mild sweetness. Otherwise, the peach flavor was pretty mild, and I was personally surprised that there wasn't a slice of peach or something similar on the slice. A couple of others loved the comparatively smaller Coconut Mango Swirl Ice Cream with pineapple, so I maybe would recommend that instead. At least for Restaurant Week, I really enjoyed this spot. I'm not sure if I would pay full price based on the portions compared to the main menu, but we had a good time here. read more

This place was so perfect for a girl's night out! It's so close to NY Penn station so for anyone coming from NJ you can get back to NJ transit easily! The place is dimly lit and music is playing- not too loud to make it hard for you to hear but just enough that you can still have a vibe. Service is quick and our server was very attentive and provided great insight on the menu especially for me as someone with food allergies. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks! Everything was a 10/10 and I can't wait to return! I attended during restaurant week so there was a special for 3 courses. read more

I celebrated my anniversary here and had such a lovely time that I booked a reservations for a week later to enjoy with friends. The interior is moody, chic, and tasteful. Our server (wish I remembered her name) was very sweet and recommended some good dishes. One being the spring pea orzo which was insanely good! All of our food was very tasty but I will say the scallop dish portion was very stingy. Regardless, I enjoyed my visits here. But seriously, please do better with the scallop portion, there was more potato than scallop. read more

After going through the big glass doors, we were welcomed by a cacophony of noises from the patrons and the music. It sounded like a lot of people were having a good time! We sat at the bar. I got a tamarindo, which could've used a bit more of a kick. I won't say that about the food though as it was all heavily spiced and on the saltier side. First we started off with the tomato salad, which consisted of baby tomatoes sliced in half over what tasted like hummus doused with chili oil with 2 fried crackers. Would've been nice to have more crackers or bread for the spicy dip as it was weird to eat alone. And if it was meant to be eaten with the tomatoes then the proportion of tomatoes to the dip was way off. We got the oxtail gratin which was on the saltier and spicier side which made it hard to finish without something but the thin layer of polenta to soak up the sauce. The scallop curry was good but the amount of curry was disproportional to the 2 scallops sliced in half and 2 potatoes that were in it. So we left a lot of curry sauce behind. The peri peri chicken was very tender and delicious and came with a very small side of raw cabbage salad. Overall glad we tried it since it's been on my list but do agree portion size was small for the cost as well as for the spice that needed more things to soak it up. read more

It was busy on a Wednesday. My table got the salt cod fritters, they were so good and salty. I loved the little bites and I loved the scotch bonnet aioli. So good, we ordered two of them. And then I got a bibb salad. I was a little cautious when the menu said sour cream but it's very light. The salad was delicious. I loved the touch of mint in it. The bathrooms were so nice and smelled good too. When exiting the right door was broken. There is a sign that said left door. But we still struggled to open it at first. This place was really nice. I personally think it was a bit overpriced but I guess for Manhattan it's average? Idk. Would I come again? Possibly but not on my dime. read more

We came here to celebrate my niece's birthday. I arrived a little early and grabbed a seat at the bar. The mezcal cocktail was excellent, although it took a while to reach me. We didn't have a reservation, but the friendly host somehow managed to find us a table, which was greatly appreciated. The service throughout the evening was attentive, and the food was flavorful, though a bit heavier than my personal preference. The ambiance struck a nice balance between elegant and casual, and the seating was very comfortable, making for an enjoyable dining experience overall. read more

Once I saw the oxtail meal being showcased on Eater , I knew I had to come and try it for myself. Coming all the way from South Florida, I knew my New York trip had to include this stop. The ambiance is dark but warming and a bigger space than I thought. From the prawns to the oxtail , these are staples that will keep me coming back on my next visit. The oxtail was so fresh, so tender, and just melts in your mouth. The prawn was seasoned and cooked to perfection!! The peri peri chicken definitely reminded me of Nandos. Everything was 10/10 . Literally can't wait to come back read more

My biggest complaints with this location was we made a reservation and were seated maybe 30 to 45 minuets late. In addition to painfully long service times between dishes. However, the food was absolutely devine. Lamb with rottie was great. Duck fat fries pillowy inside and crispy exterior. Fish fritters tasty, ox tail was devine. A really great texture combination, and ox tail that I never had before. Braised at an expert level without any fat some home. Also stand out desserts. My favorite was the fresh donut with rum raisin ice cream. All the taste of rum in the best way with a unique flavor profile. Ambience and vibes are immaculate. You and your group can stay and hang as long as you like without rush. You truly get to enjoy each course without pressure. The venue is dimly lite, each course you get fresh dishware hot off the dish washer. Plus very nice bathroom accommodations. read more

Where to start? We found space at the bar and were treated to the artesian works of the bartender. Every cocktail we had was well balanced and well adorned. They were all so darn pretty. The bartender was well versed in the menu offerings and pretty much curated our experience. We even got to meet the Executive Chef who was warm and generous with her time. The codfish fritters, the lamb & roti and the oxtail were the standouts but everything was really good. OMG!! Wait- that Hamachi Crudo!? Yummmmm.... The menu is small but filled with why they do well. The mains could be considered heavy so be sure to curate your meal accordingly. I have to get back to try a few more dishes - and I'm truly looking forward to it. The cheesecake and the Burnt Honey & Apple desserts completed our meal. That cheesecake was my personal favorite read more

Came for dinner during the week. We had a reservation and they seated us fairly promptly. The space itself is modern and nicely decorated with a full bar and high ceilings albeit it is loud. The tables are a bit close together (there is one 4 person high top in the back corner next to the bar that is away from the main seating area, if you want your own space, I would try to request that table). The service was polite and friendly. The food came out at a decent pace, we had plenty of time between courses (since we were hungry, I would have preferred a little less time, but this is the proper timing for a nice meal). As a group of two, we ordered the grilled prawn, braised oxtail gratin, peri peri chicken and lamb roti and we were quite full at the end. My favorite was the lamb, but the oxtail was a close second. First the starters, the grilled prawn was a single large prawn served over a creamy sauce with chili garlic crisps. It was a little spicy and I liked the flavor, but the crisps were too garlicky for my liking and overpowered the dish. The prawn was cooked nicely and while it was a large prawn, it comes sliced and is only 5-6 bites total (2-3 bites per person). A bit small on the portion for the price ($32). The oxtail gratin was very good simply because the oxtail itself was divine. It had so much flavor and a nice soft texture without disintegrating. The crispy cheddar polenta was pleasant, but I could have eaten the oxtail by itself. Would definitely recommend they use the oxtail to make a taco (maybe with the roti?) or even an empanada. It is so good! For the entrees, I agree with other reviewers that the peri peri chicken isn't terribly exciting in flavor or texture. However, we ordered the lamb roti and used the sauce from that on the chicken and then it was excellent! The chicken comes with a single fried chicken nugget on the side over a cabbage/slaw and while the nugget was good, I found the salad unnecessary and rather flavorless. It would be better if the salad/slaw was pickled or had some acid/vinegar to pair with the chicken. The lamb roti was the star of the meal. A big lamb shank served over fava bean sauce. Clearly there were other ingredients in that sauce, because I have never experienced flavor like that just from fava beans. The sauce was so good, we were eating it with a spoon when we ran out of roti. Speaking of roti, it was perfect, soft inside, flaky outside. They serve two with the lamb and while it is enough, three would have been better. The lamb was tender and fell off the bone. This dish was honestly perfect and it should be considering it costs $53. Overall, a nice meal but definitely expensive. The menu is rather small, so I don't feel obligated to return to try the other items as I feel we got a pretty sense of the food. If you go, absolutely get the oxtail and lamb. read more

I tried for a "last minute" walk-in seat and was initially disappointed. They were booked solid this beautiful Friday evening. I mentioned, I needed to leave quickly, because of an early curtain. The hostess relented. She mentioned that she needed the seat at 6:00. I told her, no problem, as long as the kitchen was amenable. I found out later that the kitchen doesn't start until 5:15, so my order was "first in" from the very clever bar attendant. The remarkable appetizer, Pea Orzo with Feta arrived shortly thereafter and it was glorious. The orzo was cooked risotto style with the peas. A spunky feta danced on top. Crunchy jalapeños slivers added a kick to each mouthful. The main dish took longe to arrive. I dashed over to the host stand and asked if she wanted me to cancel the entree. Another host ran back to the kitchen and she told me she'd "make it work." With a smiling, "I found your entree!" I thoroughly enjoyed the Curry Sea Scallops. It was served in three dishes, the scallops and cut red potatoes in a deep dish of great coconut curry. A dish of brown rice was waiting for the drenching. A jicama type slaw was there for the cooling antidote. I greatly appreciated their squeezing me in and then allowing me to stay beyond my promised departure. This was a crew that solved a problem. Next time, I promise to make a reservation! read more

Let's get the obvious out of the way first: Yes, Markette is overpriced, overhyped and over-exposed. It's definitely having its 15 min of fame in the influencer-sphere, so plan accordingly if you want a resy--and don't be surprised to see clientele dressed to the nines with tripods and ring lights. I knew this going in and expected to dislike my wallet-depleting dinner, much as I've disliked 90% of the overhyped NYC restaurants I've been to recently. But, I actually....enjoyed?....myself. Everything we got was tasty and not as teeny-tiny portioned as I expected. The Roasted Sunchokes were delicious and covered in a lovely, savory, foamy sauce that made me want to lick the plate. Our Rock Shrimp Linguine was the only dud--a bit too sour even for me, and not enough precious, precious rock shrimp to satisfy my crustacean craving. But the tender Braised Oxtail Gratin helped, with its savory crispy polenta. The Pan-Seared Dorade was well-cooked, and uniquely complemented by sweet plantains, swiss chard and chermoula. Surprisingly--and not surprisingly--the star of our table was the insanely photogenic, Instagrammable Peri Peri Chicken. It was as juicy as it was colorful, and its gorgeous buttermilk ranch sauce should be served as a smoothie, it's so good. Service was pretty friendly, and the decor was as modern, chic and trendy as any episode of "And Just Like That". Come with at least a group of four to get past the high price points--$5 for a cup of hot jasmine tea...in a tea bag....--and you'll do all right. read more

Great ambience! Food tasted amazingly. My favorite dish was the lamb and roti. The Bibb salad was so fresh. I just wish there were more options on the menu. I think a rice and peas dish would have been great. And I was yearning for some more vegetable options. There's also a lovely cocktail lounge downstairs that has a speakeasy vibe. Definitely recommend for a nice dinner out with great vibes! read more

Honestly super mid. All of the food looked great coming out but lacked depth and flavor. Got three entrees, the dorade, peri peri chicken and the scallops. Each had something unique in the Caribbean flavor but it wasn't deep or well constructed enough to warrant the price of the dishes. The restaurant is also pretty small, the ambiance inside is nice but I think it manufactures hype just because there's limited reservation slots online. read more

Let me just say we have been waiting to give this place a try and what better time than restaurant week! We walked in and were greeted and seated by the wonderful hostess. Our waitress took our drink orders , gave us a few tips on what to order and we were not disappointed. We started with the Salt Cod Fritters, omg so delicious. Every bite was just packed with flavor . For our main dishes we did the Peri Peri Chicken, Corn Orzo & Pan-Seared Dorado. Every single dish was phenomenal, from the presentation, flavors and fresh ingredients. We loved every bite ! To end our amazing dinner we had the Peach Cheesecake & Mango Coconut ice cream. Both were very balanced with sweetness and flavor. Definitely loved the vibe, food and service. Can't wait to comeback soon! read more

What a wonderful dining experience. We were very early for a 5:45 reservation. As we waited for the doors to open , a small line was forming. Kind of surprising for a restaurant in Chelsea to be so busy at 5pm so we knew this was a buzzy spot. The interiors and the bathrooms are beautifully decorated. The music is not loud so we were able to carry on a conversation which seems to becoming quite difficult dining out these days. We ordered the salt cod fritters, braised oxtail gratin, the roasted sunchokes, peri-peri chicken and the blood orange cheesecake all to share. I thought the food was out of this world. So tasty, loved all the flavors. I did think the cheesecake wasn't all that sweet and the drinks were good but I prefer a different type of drink. I had ordered the lucky plum, then something that had vodka and oear. I don't say this often but I would come back. Interesting to note, they do not rush out you...we were there almost 3 hours and the restaurant was full by 6pm. Useful tip, We made the reservation about a week in advance at midnight on Resy read more

I was super lucky to book a 4pp reservation on Resy at Markette for my birthday back in early February, and thankful that I did. We were greeted at the host stand and sat at the bar until the remaining members of our party arrived. At the bar, service was seamless and accommodating - as they transferred my welcome cocktail the SUNKEN STRAWBERRY to my tables' final bill. We informed the host via Resy that our entire party would be participating in Restaurant Week for my birthday. The MOD sent our table complimentary SALT COD FRITTERS with SCOTCH BONNET AIOLI - superb. I am West Indian, so clearly they are after my own heart. We started with a round of drinks: - HAY BARBIE: a mezcal sour with beets and saffron that was well balanced. - SOL Y PLAYA: clarified sotol margarita with mastiha and tomato that was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. - I HAVE A MARTINI KINK: a boozy martini with vodka AND pisco - whew! We ordered our three-courses, where everyone got a different variation of options: my three courses were: - BIBB SALAD: very refreshing and citrus forward. - ROASTED POTATO CURRY: came "tagine" style with coconut rice and a small papaya salad on the side. EXTREMELY TASTY. - STRACCIATELLA ICE CREAM: perfect portion, not too milky. Espresso pour on the side was a nice touch. We also ordered a bottle or rosé champagne, and the Sommelier was well versed on their options and what paired well with our dinner. They even let us bring our own mini cupcakes with candles to celebrate the occasion! Icing on the cake: they invited us downstairs to their speakeasy called The Argyle! The venue is rather large- long bar with beautiful wrap around banquet seating in the dining space for easy-to-accommodate group seating. Plus the bar downstairs has a really cool lounge feel too- lots of couches. 10/10. Highly recommend. Bonus: My server Katie (or Kat maybe?) was really attentive too. read more

There has been a lot of talk about Markette recently and the reviews have been nothing short of glowing. Coupled with the fact that it is an woman/POC owned establishment, I really wanted to support and see what Markette was about. I was already behind the 8 ball as reservations were going fast, so I decided to come right at opening on a weekday for bar seating. This was the move. Markette is well designed - lots of green and deep orange tones that complimented each other, and a lovely floral mural on the background. Staff was extremely kind and hardworking. To start off the evening I got a lucky plum, a gin-based cocktail - not too sweet, refreshing and easy to drink. This was already a fantastic start to the meal. For my appetizer, I got the hamachi crudo. I thought the tamarind sauce was a phenomenal addition on what is normally a citrus-based sauce. I enjoyed every single bite. On to the main dish - seared scallops. The presentation was lovely, and I actually liked that the rice was on the side. That way I could experience each component separately, and choose to combine them as I pleased. Transcendent is probably the word that comes to mind when I ate the scallop. The subsequent bites were even better when I combined the rice with the curry sauce. At this point, I was sold on whatever Markette was selling, so I got myself a Ceast and desist cocktail and the Birdee's Burnt Honey Cake to end thee evening (apparently it was the last day to have it). Both 10/10s. All this to say, I'm so glad Markette is here and I hope it's here to stay. I cannot wait for my next dining experience here. read more

I made reservations to see if Markette was worth the hype. NOW, I'm a believer. Here's how I will describe it: have you ever looked down at your plate and felt sad, wondering where your food went? That was my reaction to everything I ate at Markette. I shed a tear because the food is that DAMN good, I loved every bite of everything I ordered but was sad it all disappeared so quickly. I have to return with my family, so I can order more and get to sample more things. This restaurant definitely has a fantastic, fully equipped staff. From the moment I walked in, I witnessed a well oiled machine running smoothly. I have to credit everyone doing a great job of keeping things afloat. The bartenders (both upstairs and downstairs) busboys, waiters, sous-chef, host, Chef India Doris and etc. I am very observant, and I noticed the kitchen door swing open several times, revealing many people working hard. I must also add that this location has two different menus one for Markette and The Argyle located beneath Markette. read more

Came here to experience this new food hot spot. We made reservations a couple of months back as we knew, based off the menu options alone, this restaurant would become very popular in a short time. We arrived a little early for our reservations. We were greeted by a pleasant older gentleman and was informed our reservation time would be honored as there was a party currently occupying our table, but would finished at our assigned time. We were in no rush and proceeded to the downstairs area to their bar called "The Argyle" to have a pre- dinner drink. The Argyle Bar was decorated in dark wood and cushioned chairs accompanied by minimal lighting. The ambiance was moody and perfect for a date night or a meetup with friends. We ordered a ranch water and a shot of whiskey to sip until our table was ready upstairs. The wait staff were pleasant and attentive; when our table was ready they got our drinks and delivered them to the table for us. The restaurant is rather small and intimate; you are seated in close proximity to other guests which makes ear hustling easy! We were greeted by the manager and we inquired about drinks to start off our meal. He was very attentive and asked about our preferences and suggested a couple of drinks for us: The Blue Jean Baby, which was Irish whisky- based, and The Morning Fog, which included vodka. The drinks were exceptional. They weren't overly sweet, the base of the drinks were hand crafted and did NOT come out of a premade bottle. The alcohol was noticeable and each enhanced the drinks we got. We even ordered another Morning Fog! The waiter came and we placed our order: salt cod fritters, braised oxtail gratin, grilled prawn, with a side of duck fat fries and broccolini. We received our order in a timely manner. The salt cod fritters took me back to my grandma's kitchen and her cod fish cakes: hearty, loaded with fresh cod fried perfectly and accompanied by a remoulade-type sauce that was a great pairing. The only difference between Markette's and my grandma's?: There's were round in shape and my grandma's was shaped a little flatter. These were EXCEPTIONAL! The braised oxtail gratin was good as well: savory oxtail shredded and served over polenta, which was smooth and tasty. The grilled prawn was as long as my hand and perfectly grilled with a side of chili crisp which elevated that grilled prawn to another level. The duck fat fries were nice and crisp with a light dusting of salt and the broccolini was served with a coating of cheese which made these a perfect side to our dishes. To be honest, we couldn't finish our food and decided to take it back to the hotel. The staff thought there was something wrong, but OH NO....we simply wanted to enjoy the rest of our meal in the comfort of our hotel room like we REALLY needed to...(IYKYK). Needless to say, Markette was an AMAZING experience and we suggest, if you are going to NYC and have some time, make a reservation and experience this wonderful restaurant. read more

Markette has a beautiful decor that blends modern and contemporary design with a touch of elegance that sets a great ambiance for a night out. Our server was warm and attentive, and everything came out in a timely manner. The Peri Peri chicken was tender, moist, and flavorful. The salt cod fritters were well-seasoned, and the braised oxtails were rich and perfectly cooked. The heirloom tomatoes stood out with its fresh and vibrant flavors. For drinks the Sol y Playa was shaken and refreshing, while I Have a Martini Kink was bold and spirited.

Met a friend visiting from Chicago here for dinner, and from the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be a good night. The decor hits exactly the right notes -- chic, warm, fun, and classy all at once without trying too hard. Burnt orange banquettes, candlelight, hand-painted murals. The room has personality. Service was top notch and genuinely attentive without being in your face about it. That balance is harder to pull off than people think, and they nail it. I got my usual Ketel One slightly dirty martini and it was made perfectly. Whoever is behind that bar knows what they're doing. Then the food. We shared duck fat french fries (yes, obviously, always), sticky rice, grilled prawn with bouillabaisse and chili crisp, and the peri peri chicken with buttermilk ranch and a celery root and caraflex cabbage slaw. Every single dish was outstanding -- the flavors, the combinations, the execution. The prawn especially was one of those bites where you stop mid-conversation and just look at each other. The peri peri chicken has real heat and the slaw cuts through it perfectly. It all just works. Worth noting: Chef India Doris was just named the Michelin Young Chef of the Year for the Northeast. After this meal, zero surprise there. Five stars, no hesitation. Already recommending it to everyone I know. read more

One of the best meals and dining experiences I've had in a long time. Service is 10 out of 10. Everyone seems so genuinely helpful and happy to be there. LOL. My waiter Jamie was amazing. He had great recommendations and after dinner he took my downstairs to see The Argyle, a cocktail bar in the basement with a completely different drink and food menu that I will have to come back to soon. As for the food, everything I had was amazing, like lick the plate amazing. There's something about the sauces. Jamie saw how I was trying to get every bite so he brought me a spoon. The skin on the dorade was seared perfectly! I usually do not eat skin but I devoured it. The sauce on the crudo! So good! Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. read more

First reservation in NY - dined in on May 23rd, 2026 at 7 PM. Almost didn't order the grilled prawn, but I'm very glad we did! It was my favorite part of the meal and that dish was absolutely cleared. The sauce reminded me of butter chicken and the lemon was so juicy, the perfect splash of acidity to the prawn. Hamachi crudo was unique tasting with the green mango, tamarind, and curry oil. The peri peri chicken was very moist, most of the flavor is coming from the buttermilk ranch and peri peri sauce though, so I like that they included sauce on the side! I also loved the chicken nugget that came with the dish more than peri peri chicken itself. Hope they do chicken nuggets with their ranch and peri peri sauce as an appetizer some day. Braised oxtail gratin was a wee bit spicy and tingly, but well seasoned. The crispy cheddar polenta and onions were my favorite part of that dish. Blood orange cheesecake was good as well, just a wee bit pricey based on the size of the slice. Will be ordering two grilled prawns the next time I'm here :) Service - all the staff were very patient and courteous, we were seated at the bar and I would say this is more spacious than most of the tables in the dining area. The staff are really busy here so I appreciate them taking the time to check in with us when clearing our plates. A few patrons walked in without reservations and were disgruntled with the bar seating, but the staff were super professional and patient about it. Ambience is warm, most people were dressed smart casual. read more

Wow, where to begin. Very well decorated, welcoming, inviting space. Cutlery and plates were also really cute, you can tell a lot of attention was given to the little details. We came for NY Restaurant week and shared many of the dishes. Great flavors everywhere, you really can't go wrong here. Would also definitely recommend the drinks, from the wine to the cocktails (fan favorite of the night was the Sunken Strawberry). Service was amazing, very attentive, no complaints here, everyone we interacted with was stellar. Only thing to note is the bathroom door is a little hard to close! read more

I reserved one seat at the bar on the early side trying to beat the rush but it doesn't seem like that's possible. The bartender was pleasant and definitely knew how to make a cocktail. She was busy the entire time I was there but I always had a drink - definitely appreciated that. The codfish fritters were really good. The texture was softer than I expected. Loved the scotch bonnet aioli. Of course, had to get the peri peri chicken. The sauces really made the dish for me. read more

I loved this place! 4.5 rounded up to 5. Cute small interior that we were able to walk into on a Friday night as a party of 2 without a reservation. My favorite was the fried wings on the side that came with the peri peri chicken and the rigatoni with mushrooms (the sauce was delicious). My husband's favorite was the oxtail. We both enjoyed the sunchokes with mushroom appetizer (it had nice textures) and the shrimp appetizer (though it was overcooked). Would love to return! read more

Every single thing was delicious. But what I didn't get a pic of was the orzo, which was DIVINE. I'm still thinking about that dish. I have to go back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and we both enjoyed our food but agreed that everything was overpriced. No complaints on any of the dishes though, they were all super delicious. Just wish the portions or prices were a bit better. Very beautiful restaurant and decent service at the bar. read more

Considering all the sauce and color drizzled all over it, the peri peri chicken is pretty bland. If I closed my eyes I would probably just have thought it was unsalted chicken thigh with a mild cream on it. The salt cod fritters were excellent though, and the oxtail gratin had a really nice crispy top. Service was friendly and efficient. read more
