    Espresso martinis (made with REAL espresso) won't drink it any other way!
    Lala G.

    Great dinner before the opera. Go here before your show. They even have special options on menu for pre show deals. Food was delicious. I loved the chicken. Serve was impeccable. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is 5 stars alone. Beautiful decor. Live music. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you!

    Great "old school" fine dining, which is getting harder and harder to fine these days, even in NYC. Elegant atmosphere with live jazz, cozy tables with fresh bread, olives and incredible olive oil. Perfect setting for an amazing evening My meal began with an incredible bowl of butternut squash soup while my wife had a massive salad. For dinner, I had a very tender steak which came with a delicious bowl of potatoes purée. My wife had sea bass which looked very tasty. Service is over the top, as you'd expect from such a restaurant. Highly recommend for a special occasion or before attending the opera, symphony or other events at Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall

    Incredible hidden gem. It does get crowded since it is near Lincoln Center, but it's worth the wait. The ambiance is amazing. Cozy / romantic feel but also feel comfortable sitting at the bar alone. Food I can't explain how good it is. I had the filet with mashed potatoes and went back again a few days later to have it again. Also would recommend the butternut squash soup. Bartenders are amazing. Everyone is attentive, engaged and clearly care about customer experience. Honestly if you need a place in the area, it's one of the best. Especially if you need dinner before a show

    We went here after visiting central park due to its proximity. The waiter asked if we had a show to watch after to accommodate our schedule which was nice. However, the portions were tiny and the food was just average. My favorite was the salmon but even this was just mediocre. I would not recommend this restaurant unless you are in a hurry before a show.

    Our pre-theater dinner at Rampoldi, a French restaurant, resulted in mixed feelings. While the appetizers and desserts were delectable, the main courses fell short in terms of flavor. Nonetheless, the service and ambiance were exceptional.

    We returned for New Year's Eve. It wasn't as much of a party scene as we had expected. The jazzy band played American standards and they were terrific. Party favors and a glass of bubbly were provided. Service was good and the food was great. They had a set menu for NYE. We added the shellfish tower. The lobster bisque was delicious. The individual beef wellington was unusual and very good; the beef came out medium rare as requested.

    Confit du canard Rampoldi

    I came to Rampoldi with my fiancé and two other friends for dinner on a Thursday. Our friends live around the area and highly recommended that we come here-- this visit certainly did not disappoint! This restaurant specializes in cuisine from Monaco, I.e Monegasque, and there is an original restaurant in Monte Carlo which I thought was super cool. The space is absolutely stunning and completely embodies the grandiosity, and upscale feel of Monaco. The restaurant has beautiful high ceilings, marble walls, soft warm lights, and a live pianist which really elevates the ambiance. The service is absolutely stellar. Andrea, the manager, was very attentive of us and was available to make sure we had a great experience. He also had fantastic recommendations for wines. We ended up getting a bottle of an Italian Prosecco that was perfect to start our meal. David was our waiter and he was also very personable and knowledgeable of the menu. He gave us really great recommendations for food which I'm happy we listened to! The brought out some complimentary crispy flatbread as well as regular bread with side butters and some delicious olives while we waited for food. The cuisine has a lot of Southern French and Italian influences so the menu is reflective of this, offering a variety of different items from carpaccios to pizzas to more traditional French dishes. We tried: - Carpaccio de sériole: a delicious amberjack carpaccio with very mild and light tasting fish, citrus punches from the lemon, with the crispy texture and saltiness from the shoestring potatoes. Ver bright dish but light. This was the perfect starter and the presentation was beautiful although I did not take photos. - Roulade de poulet: I ordered this dish and it was amazing! The chicken was so tender and had a very soft filling which I think may have had cheese and some sort of umami element like pancetta(?). The truffle sauce was magical-- it was very balanced and had a hint of truffle without it overpowering the entire dish or the flavor of the chicken. This all came with a generous bed of sautéed chard which complimented the dish well with its more tangy flavor profile. - Confit de canard: my fiancé ordered this and let me try a little... it was absolutely delicious! The duck was cooked to perfection, and had a subtly sweet and acidic sauce of wine, berries, and spices which balanced out the more umami meat. The potatoes it came with were cooked to perfection. Very comforting and filling dish! A warm hug in the cold winter. -Cauliflower au gratin: we got this as a side dish and it was delicious! Very comforting side dish for the winter with a creamy sauce, generous cheese, and perfectly broiled cauliflower topped with some crispy breadcrumbs. Decadent! - Glacé à la lavande de Provence: for dessert we tried their signature lavender ice cream that came with a scoop of yogurt ice cream. The lavender ice cream had a pretty prominent lavender flavor but it was nicely balanced by the more tart yogurt scoop. They top it with some honey which adds that natural sweetness as well as some candied pistachios which bring some nuttiness and texture. They brought out this dessert with a candle and congratulations since we were celebrating that my fiancé and I are getting married soon. It was very nice of them. Overall, we had a fantastic dinner experience and I highly highly recommend this place for a pre-show meal at Lincoln Center, to impress out of towners, or on a nicer date. The food was delicious and I felt like there was a wide variety of options for everyone as well as generous portions. The service was truly what stood out the most to me, ir was absolutely incredible and we left happy, with full stomachs, and feeling well taken care of! Will definitely be coming back in the future

    Rampoldi offers an elegant dining experience with attention to detail from start to finish starting with the bathroom, which was surprisingly beautiful with soft lighting that sets a luxurious tone. We began with breadsticks and sourdough, served alongside butter, olive oil, and green olives. The olive oil had a rich depth with a slightly briny, pickle-like flavor that stood out in a good way. The sourdough had olives baked right into it, which was a really nice touch, and the crackers were perfectly crunchy a strong start. The carpaccio was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented with sweet tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a cracker that literally melted in the mouth when combined with everything else. Easily one of the highlights of the night. The foie gras was phenomenal velvety soft and rich, paired with brioche bread that made every bite feel indulgent. This was the standout dish for me just perfect. The risotto came al dente, with peas, mushrooms, a vibrant green sauce, and a dollop of creamy white sauce on top. While it didn't steal the show like the foie gras, it was still solid, with great texture and balanced flavors. Rampoldi nails the upscale experience with refined flavors and presentation. Definitely worth a visit if you want a meal that feels special.

    David the server was excellent as well as the whole staff. The duck confit was excellent As was the arugula salad. It could have used more avocado. Dressing was good. Order light dressing. Crème brûlée was superb! Great place to come before a Lincoln center performance

    Lobster pasta
    Gabriela D.

    Great for dinner before the theater! We came after a ballet performance at Lincoln center and the food was amazing. Lobster pasta had an entire lobster in it and was delicious and fresh. The truffle pasta was so rich ( a little heavy) but so amazing. Food came out quickly and the restaurant has a really nice ambience. Staff was friendly.

    Had a lovely pre-opera meal at this swanky joint -- the dining room feels more like a bank-turned-club, all marble and red lights. But the feeling is chill and nice, the service was friendly and they knew we were on an opera deadline and had no issues getting everything out on time. I came in a small group so we split two appetizers, the veal and the foie gras. Both were tasty, though the foie gras was truly stand out. The chutney was really delicious, not a sentence I find myself saying often. We also split a tiramisu for dessert that was perfect. For an entree I just got the truffle pasta, which did rule I gotta say. Extremely filling, what with its interesting pasta shape, not that that's a complaint. Delicate and lovely. I opted for a Rampoldi cocktail as well, which was dessert-like and delicious. Overall a nice experience, though nothing truly blew my mind. It's not entirely my style, and certainly more money than I'd pay normally for an experience that didn't feel entirely unique, but for the occasion and location I'd definitely come back.

    We went here to celebrate our anniversary (not a big milestone), and I was really impressed with the decor. The restaurant has a beautiful and elegant interior with red and pink shades. We tried: *Salmon tartare - flavorful and beautifully presented. *Crispy calamari and zucchini - tasty and cooked just right. *Scallops - tender and generous portion (we got eight!). *Filet de bœuf with mashed potatoes and creamy sauce - perfectly cooked. *Chocolate cake with ice cream - delicious. Service started off friendly and attentive, but later our server seemed to focus more on other tables, even though the place wasn't full. Our wine bottle was on a stand near our table, so we ended up pouring our own glasses--not a big issue, and perhaps it allowed us to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. Overall, it was a good dining experience with tasty food and a lovely atmosphere.

    I was expecting an amazing meal based on the back story of this spot and the history of the original location in Monaco. Sadly, my experience was more mixed. The ambiance is beautiful and I loved the set up and colors. It was pretty desolate when we were there...perhaps because it was Monday night and they were missing the theater crowds. The food was just ok. The halibut was a little fishy, the scallops were uninspiring. The pumpkin soup was the best item I had. The brownie with ice cream was ordinary and I did not finish it. Service was just ok too...the waitress kept disappearing on us. Perhaps my expectations were too high or it was just an off night based on the other reviews.

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.

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!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. 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.
