Simply.....wow!…read more Celebrated an anniversary at Huso and had an absolutely great experience. Creative dishes with wonderful flavors and textures, all nicely presented. There wasn't a miss in the 12+ courses. Our favorites included a Sweet Corn Egg Yolk Raviolo, Brioche with King Salmon Spread, Spot Prawn and the wonderful Duck. Service from the team of servers was impeccable. Nice touch in giving guests a tour of the kitchen and it was a treat to meet the chef. Not only talented but a very nice guy. Elegant, bright atmosphere. The Michelin star they received is well deserved and arguably Huso compares favorably to two star restaurants that we have been to. Truly a great choice for a special dinner!

"There's a lot of exciting things going on in the tomato space right now" said a friend in the…read morerestaurant industry, and parts of this meal definitely highlighted that. In particular, a course that not only featured different kinds of tomato in peak ripeness but also a "tomato tea" that was equal parts savory and refreshing. It was a good harbinger for each delicious course that came out. There were lots of delicious bites, but highlights include a seared scallop, saffron raviolo, a granita, and roast duck. They're also a wholesale caviar supplier, so of course there was caviar on the menu that was quite delicious, as well as a dessert served in a caviar tin that looked just like caviar but was actually chocolate beads (this was a dessert course). At one point in the meal a server came over to inform us we were invited to visit the kitchen downstairs by the chef. There, we were given a brief tour and a treat I'd equate to an elevated mango flavored gogurt. We were feeling pretty special when we witnessed all other tables subsequently also getting invited to a kitchen tour. I will say I still think this is a cute gesture and they were relatively discreet about it. There was one course (the toasted brioche with creme fraiche) that felt like both fan service/low hanging fruit (cause who doesn't like toasted, buttered bread with cream?) but also an attempt to ensure patrons leave full and sated. I found this somewhat inelegant, along with a couple of other courses. But overall this felt like an elevated experience with flavors and warm service to match.

I went here for a birthday and anniversary celebration and we chose the pre fixe menu. The service…read morewas impeccable from the hostesses who coat checked my jacket and umbrella to the sommelier who gave a very informative background on the wine I selected (Spanish white wine - Esmeralda Garcia, Castilla y león 2023). The vineyards for this particular wine are over 200 yrs old which is rare but the sandy climate helps to deter pests! The waiters were also helpful when I asked about the sweetness level of desserts and any crowd favorites. As for the ambiance, i loved the lamps and the bream blue wall color with walnut wood. And as weird as it sounds the bathroom was really cool! They have sketches of the recipe brainstorming the chef made for the menu on the wall. This was honestly the coolest part to me. The drawings were very good too. For the menu between the two of us we tried: 1st course: beef tartare, gyeran-jjim, spotted prawn (eaten in that order); I liked the prawn the best as it was very creamy itself but the vinaigrette added some depth 2nd course: striped jack hwe (my favorite) & scallop; the striped jack has three pieces and each was very refreshed. The sauce tastes a bit Smokey as well which complimented it well. The raw scallop was creamy yet light 3rd course: lobster ramyun (my bf favorite); I could have eaten a giant bowl of this. I enjoyed that it was cold and that the chili spice was not overwhelming as to let the lobster shine. Even those who do not like spice can safely enjoy. 4th course: sea bass & galbi; the seafood broth with the sea bass was amazing and the umami flavor really stood out in this dish. I also appreciate the crispy rice adding a different texture along side the crispy skin in the sea bass. The galbi was really great as well. I loved the various ingredient of the dish especially the peach kimchi and that the sauce was lighter in flavor. The galbi basically melted in your mouth. 5th course: chapssal donuts & peach parfait The peach parfait was really unique. Each layer on the parfait introduced a new flavor but maintain the cohesiveness without making it overly sweet. I can see why the donuts are a fan favorite though! Crispy yet chewy on the inside. I could have eaten more dessert it was great.

My friends and I were so full by the end of the dinner. The service was overall okay. I think it may have been just our server though. He was very monotone and not friendly nor welcoming. But the other servers who brought out our plates were much nicer and made sure we were enjoying our experiences. Other than that I definitely want to come back and try again because oijimi bowl was sooo delicious I kept thinking about it even afterwards!

I remember last year being way better - you have to do a very thorough mixing as not to just eat a mouthful of ice. I opted for the beef version but I think the tomato veggie version would've been just as good because the beef added nothing to the dish. The noodle and soup itself was delicious!! I could've have several more portions of just that. It was $18 plus tax - I hope next year is different!

Atera was an unforgettable birthday experience. From start to finish, I loved every part of it…read more The restaurant is such an intimate space, with a U-shaped counter surrounding the open kitchen, so you get to watch the entire team work their magic. There's something almost mesmerizing about watching everyone "dance" around the kitchen as they carefully prepare and present each course. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and they took the time to explain each dish in detail, including how it was meant to be eaten. And honestly, **every single bite was spectacular**. There wasn't a single course where I thought, "this was just okay." Everything was thoughtful, creative, and absolutely delicious. There is also A LOT of food, but somehow every bite just kept getting better. The drinks were fantastic as well and paired beautifully with the meal. I genuinely cannot think of a single downside to the experience. Atera completely exceeded my expectations, and it was such a special way to celebrate my birthday. I would absolutely love to come back. One of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in NYC!

Complimentary bday cheesecake was a nice touch. Misses: A few things were too hot - the cheese snack and the sweetbreads in the cappuccino were like burn-your-tongue-hot. Shouldn't be happening at a two star. Also, the duck was kind of chewy, especially coming after the wagyu (tough act to follow!). Overall I didn't think it was really worth the pride. Would rather go to their wine bar next door. I'm sure it was incredible back in the day but that was not my experience.

yeah boiiii…read more phenomenal. perfection. snagged a res for the ladys birthday and was so so so excited to finally be at Sunn's. went into thinking it was traditional korean, but was actually really fusioned with french/new american flavors, but never forgot its korean roots. everything was divine, and the service was exceptional. sat at chefs table; man that tiny ass kitchen is a miracle. was really suprised with the soondabo. feel like i've ever only had one flavor profile, but chef sunn was telling me how she was inspired by pozole as a rift on the dish. i have had a lot better banchan before thoooo thanks for having us and making the night so special! excited to come back

The hwe crudo was refreshing and delicious, and the salad was also a standout -- bright, crisp, and really well-balanced. But the best thing we had by far was the dak mandu, the crab/chicken dumplings. Those alone are worth coming back for. The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray.

When you're making a reservation, make sure you look before you book! The sushi restaurant and their accompanying handroll bar are two different dining experiences. We sat at the bar and enjoy the view of the cozy space. They had a wide selection of craft beers - it was hard for me to choose one because they all looked very unique and sounded delicious. The one I originally wanted (Asian Pear Saison) was sadly unavailable but the bartender recommended another one that was citrus forward and I went with it! I've never really thought of pairing sushi with craft beer, but it was honestly very complementary. We chose to dine on a selection of "specialty nigiri" (10 pieces) and a couple additional pieces of chutoro. Each piece was presented beautifully, and they were all uniquely and intentionally flavored with high quality fresh fish. My friend and I ate every last bite. I recommend getting this option if you want a curated selection of sushi and like being surprised by the chef. Overall the experience was great, and I will definitely be back. The bartender was personable with everyone at the bar and vibe was very easy-going for a Friday night. The restaurant is right in the mix in the West Village, so you could definitely take a nice stroll after your meal to take in the neighborhood.

For example, we left with a goodie bag that had the printed menus of what we enjoyed that night along with lemon poppy treats. In the bathroom, the soap and hand lotion bottles were customized with the restaurant name on them, and you could tell they even carefully picked out the toilet paper (the kind with the waves that makes it easy to tear). It was an incredible dining experience. There were standouts on the menu too, like the baked pinto gold potato (I wish I could've eaten 5 more) and the summer melon, which was the juiciest cantaloupe I've ever had. The food was perhaps a bit too experimental for my taste at times, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall, the guest experience is what really blew me away. You can tell how much care and intentionality has gone into Oyatte as a whole. Wishing the staff and chef much success, they clearly put their heart into this place!

Disappointing cancellation policy…read more I made a reservation at Oyatte for 2 and paid a $130.65 deposit. I canceled the reservation more than a month in advance, so the deposit itself was eligible for a full refund. However, I was informed that $6.70 would be withheld as a credit card processing fee. As someone who has previously owned a restaurant, I find this policy difficult to understand. If a reservation is canceled more than a month in advance and the restaurant is not losing the reservation at the last minute, I don't think the guest should be responsible for a processing fee simply for receiving a refund. I understand that Oyatte recently updated its policy and says the processing fee is now disclosed during the reservation process. However, I still find the policy unfavorable to guests and something people should be aware of before making a reservation. The $6.70 itself isn't the issue--the principle and the policy are. I hope the restaurant will reconsider this approach in the future.

We overheard our server laugh about my friend's allergy after knowingly serving him a dish he…read morecouldn't safely eat. That alone is why I will never return to this establishment. One member of our party has Oral Allergy Syndrome and is allergic to uncooked fruits and vegetables. At the beginning of the meal, we clearly informed our server, Daniel B., of the allergy. He asked for clarification multiple times, and my friend repeatedly explained that all fruits and vegetables had to be fully cooked. After one of the courses was served, our server explained the dish, walked away, and we overheard him tell a coworker that my friend "probably couldn't eat this dish," followed by laughter. Moments later, my friend took a bite and discovered the dish contained raw cucumber. He immediately experienced an allergic reaction. Thankfully, he had only taken a small bite, so it remained mild. Everyone makes mistakes, including Michelin-starred restaurants. What I cannot accept is what happened afterward. If you know a guest has an allergy, it should never be the subject of laughter. Whether the comment reflected an acknowledgment of the mistake or something else, hearing staff laugh immediately after serving the dish made us feel that my friend's allergy was not being treated with the seriousness it deserved. Before leaving, I calmly asked to speak with the manager. I explained exactly what had happened and why I was leaving no gratuity. I was not trying to create a scene--I simply wanted management to understand the seriousness of serving a guest food that did not comply with a clearly communicated allergy. Unfortunately, I left feeling that the concern was not taken seriously. For a restaurant of César's reputation and price point, I expected impeccable allergy protocols and professionalism. Instead, my friend had an allergic reaction after we had clearly communicated his allergy multiple times, and we left feeling alarmed by what we overheard. I trusted this restaurant with my friend's safety, and that trust was broken. Because of that experience, I will never dine here again. I sincerely hope management investigates what happened so no other guest has to experience the same thing.
