Bibb salad
Janelle T.

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!

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.

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.

ROASTER CARROT CURRY with potatoes, papaya salad, and coconut rice.
Kortnee L.

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.

Birdie's burnt honey cake

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cocktail

Very nice location, great aesthetics! Cocktails were good! We had the oxtail dish and spicy prawns for appetizers, they were delicious! Scallops entree which had great flavors but coconut rice was a little crispy for our liking but overall I enjoyed my meal!

SOL Y PLAYA I HAVE A MARTINI KINK
Yalissa C.

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. Overall a great dining experience with solid food, strong cocktails, and great service.

Sauces
LaToya K.

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.

SALT COD FRITTERS
Sam H.

I was lucky to be notified from the waitlist and nabbed a 7:15 dinner slot. Sooo happy we got to try this place out. It was very busy for a Sunday night but service was fast. We had the fried cod fritters, the polenta and oxtail and the peri chicken ( would could be shared between two people). The combination of flavors was so comforting. The mocktails were also refreshing and a perfect compliment to our meal. We still have the blood orange cheesecake to try since we took it to go. Thanks again for a lovely Sunday dinner

I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

My expectations were high for my first NYC speakeasy. TLDR version - disappointing and not planning…read moreto return. Easy to find if you know what you're looking for, if you arrive right at 5pm on a cold weeknight in the winter, you'll easily find a table or seat at the bar. Very cute space, cozy like everyone says, but nothing mind blowing. Music is moderately loud. The menu in early February still included their winter holiday cocktails. I was more interested in the apple sage house-made fermented soda, and it was pretty good-large glass, flavorful and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her pomegranate version. The space started to fill up at around 5:30. Service was polite when you could get it, but generally very inattentive, even before it got busy. It honestly didn't feel too different from anu other very nice NYC bar, in terms of menu selection, prices, ambiance and service. Maybe that's standard for NYC speakeasies, but the places I frequented in other cities were more fun and felt more worth the price. I'll still give another NYC spot a try, but not coming back to Thyme.

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.

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.

For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

We had an extra person when we checked in and they happily added her to the rez. We just had to wait about 15 mins which was fine. We were seated around 7:30pm. It was busy and bustling in the upstairs bar. We were seated at a spot resembling a coffee table(s) with chairs / ottomans surrounding it. I got the martini. It was a fun play with the green curry and saffron. This place is a little loud, so it is not easy to have a convo with your party. I am old so this probably wouldn't have been something I clocked in my younger years. They do have food which looks intriguing. Especially anything with truffles on it. If in the area, would definitely consider coming back for a quick drink and bite. REVIEW #4013
