    Breakfast taco
    Jack H.

    Lacking other plans, I wanted to find a tasty meal to treat myself for Christmas. Sixty Three Clinton fit the bill. On entry you will immediately see the bar to your left, seats at a bar overlooking the open kitchen, and a room with tables for larger parties. Dining solo, I was sat at the bar. The bartender explained the menu, along with the supplements. I opted for the langoustine with the uni rice and started inspecting the cocktail menu. There were many tempting options, but I settled on the Oolong Island Iced Tea (a play on a Long Island Iced Tea but with Oolong tea, as you might imagine). The first course, to my understanding, is permanent: a breakfast taco with a ramen egg and salmon roe. Delightful. The following was a scallop served with corn masa, which reminded me of shrimp and grits (in a good way). It was at this point I was struck with regret for not ordering the caviar hand roll, which is prepared tableside. My fellow diners seemed to enjoy it immensely. There is no beverage pairing offered with the tasting menu, but the bartender was more than willing to recommend wine. His choices were lovely. A Cabernet Sauvignon with the soft scrambled egg and uni rice, and then a delightful red with the tri tip. Each course was well thought out and delightful. Over the course of the meal, though I had come alone, I found myself chatting with the staff and my fellow diners. The staff were quite friendly and very knowledgeable, and the bar set up lent itself to chatting with your fellow diners. Overall a pleasant set up. With dessert I opted for a vermouth and soda, something you'll rarely see but was much appreciated as a light and refreshing balance to the incredibly rich dessert. The "palate cleanser" was simply incredible, with caviar and goats milk ice cream pairing with the smoked champagne gel and honeycomb beautifully. The tiramisu was a fantastic finish. My bill was quite steep, but overall I was unbothered: the meal had been fantastic and each course tasty. If you've got an occasion or no occasion at all, Sixty Three Clinton is a lovely choice that has well-deserved its Michelin star.

    Maybe my favourite restaurant in Manhattan. I've been a couple times and this place slaps so hard. Unique combinations, high quality ingredients, a reasonably priced tasting menu, add on options, good service, beautiful and unique dishes, and an owner who treats everyone like a long time friend. They are Michelin worthy.

    7/5/2025 Meal. I notice they update their menus quite often so the menu has changed since I've been here but I'm pretty sure the food is still great. Our favorite was the breakfast taco, which is the most consistent thing on their menu. The aji verde sauce ties the egg and hash brown together and it was such a great start to the meal. It was warm and I wish I had more! The caviar hand roll is worth to get as someone who does not need caviar and can live without it. I shared this with my friend so we split the $55 cost. They packed it in and it was so warm with the crispy seaweed and super flavorful rice. We also loved their focaccia bread with butter, one of the best breads I've had in NYC. The dishes look small but man do they fill you up. Even though one piece of tortellini may seem ridiculous, that one piece was so stuffed, I got super full. For $112, this was an amazing course meal and I would like to go back to try the other courses

    Went here to celebrate an anniversary and it didnt disappoint! We sat at the front area near the bar and it was a super cute interior. I thought it was a great place for a fancy dinner date! The courses were all amazing. We decided to also to the caviar roll and it was amazing. The waiter made sure to give us a huge portion of it. And the quality of all the other dishes were equally amazing. Pricing was also very fair too for what we got. Definitely recommend this!

    My friend and I were looking to return to a nearby restaurant. They were booked, so I looked on Yelp for any tasting menus for a nice holiday dinner. Found Sixty Three Clinton and thought it looked perfect. When we sat down at 7 on a Thursday, we had a Déjà vu moment when we saw the table that we sat at three years ago. Once I got over the initial disappointment that we had returned to a restaurant we had forgotten about, we went on to have an amazing time! Last time we had been there, we noted the small portions and that is still the case. That said, we both felt that the already solid quality from three years ago had been taken to an even higher level. Each of the 7 courses featured fantastic textures and flavors. Favorites for me were the egg course, scallop, rice dish, and the goat milk ice cream. Frankly, the goat milk ice cream is one of the better dishes I've had recently. The crunchy honeycomb in it was so good! Can't forget to mention, each and every staff member was awesome! They all truly cared about delivering a great meal!

    Had a great time to Six Three Clinton and would highly recommend this spot for a reasonably priced tasting menu. Food was amazing through each course. My favorite is consistent with many other reviewers as the breakfast taco. The restaurant was conducting a celebration for their anniversary and served caviar with the taco on the day! However, all the courses were very strong. The restaurant is also efficient over the course planning, so there is a good pace between courses; we were able to complete the 7 courses within about 90 minutes. I also tried all three of the mocktails, which were all delicious. The bell pepper was so well done that it works as a great drink but tastes just like the vegetable!

    Went here for a birthday dinner a little while ago. Definitely a fun atmosphere it fits in very well with the vibe of the lower east side. Amplifying an upscale casual atmosphere. The service was very very friendly and attentive, honestly this is the reason I knocked off a star. I felt like I was almost being watched by how often a server came around. It felt as though our meal was too planned and consistently interrupted. I understand this is a preset menu and that requires timeliness and a schedule moreso than a a la carte meal, however, they could have followed suit with the casual atmosphere and taken it down a notch. The food was very good; however, some dishes felt like they were a little too creative. The add-on hand-roll was delicious. I wouldn't return soley because I don't think it was the vibe that I typically enjoy. But glad I got to try it and I do think they will be successful.

    Overall, a tasty meal with pretty good service. I wasn't blown away but it was tasty. There was only dish i didn't like, which was the aguachile. Perhaps a bit too experimental. I went with a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate, but i do wish they could try a little harder for vegetarians instead of just taking the meat part out and not subbing anything in. For example, instead of a short rib, they get a bokchoy; I know it's hard to accommodate changes but some changes felt silly. The breakfast taco and the caviar hand roll ($55...) were the best. I would say if you've not concerned about money, get the caviar hand roll because it's a unique experience and so much caviar - but don't get it if you're money conscious because it's probably not worth

    Thank you to social media for introducing me to this spot because it was one of the best meals I've ever had and I am not being hyperbolic at all. The bites were each unique flavor bombs that were innovative and balanced, tested my taste buds with spicy and salty flavors, and I loved each and every one! The uni add on to the breakfast taco was a MUST, the tortilla base was even high quality! The bluefin agua chile had a creme fraiche base that gave an incredible experience with the spicy chili granita at the top, what an adventure of a dish. LOVE! I normally hate squid ink pasta but the texture of the pasta and the super briny clam flavor worked perfectly together. The asparagus in the beurre blanc was refined and such a great palate cleanser of sorts after the saltier pasta. Then came out the focaccia which was crispy yet soft and the butter was so good! Paired my final dishes with a delicious pomegranate star anise mocktail which was one of the best mocktails I've ever had. The pork short rib was so flavorful and worked great with the white strawberry flavor. The blueberry sorbet was AWESOME, refreshing and just the right balance of tart and sweet. Finally, the coconut cake was such a comforting finish with a little zest from the lime. Cannot say enough good things about this meal! Also, the staff is INCREDIBLE! They kindly helped me finish the meal on time, were so attentive and friendly and just added to the experience. Will have to come back next time I'm in the area. The chef's counter was a great place to enjoy the vibes and see the hard work that goes into each dish. Highly recommend it!

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3.7/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: without add ons, 4/5, with add ons, 3/5. I already spoke to the hostess on the phone about my dietary restrictions. But then when they sat me at the bar the bartender asked me to confirm them in front of everybody. I didn't like that. No discretion at all. I don't want everyone knowing my business. Ambiance is all right but not great. It's a small space, not much they can do about that, but at least it's tastefully done. The bar seats are such that you are too high above the table. The legs of the stools need to be lower. The breakfast taco is ok. I added the Hokkaido uni for $22. Manila clam rice was good. I added langoustine for $44. Then the bartender hyped up the asparagus dish; that one was all right but not all that. I wasn't thrilled with the establishment's choice of music. And the workaround for my request to have less sugar was to give me mango slices with Tajín instead of the standard coconut cake. Underwhelming.

    My husband and I had a great anniversary dinner at Sixty Three Clinton! The ambience was cozy yet comfortable. We had their 7-course tasting menu which was delightful, and we left full! My favorites were the breakfast taco, arroz mariscos, and the pre-dessert granita. All courses were carefully prepared. Also honorable mention to their red bell pepper mocktail, it was unlike anything we've ever had and very refreshing! The service was very attentive, and it's nice to have had the opportunity to dine at a Michelin star restaurant for a daily reasonable price. Would absolutely return!

    Choco taco
    Yeeleng V.

    The first Michelin starred restaurant I've been to and it definitely was excellent and worth it. There were so many items that had such excellent taste and the construction of the tasting menu itself was also very good. Unfortunately my biggest dislike was the starting menu item, the scallop on what I guess to be the base/core of Kohlrabi (basically the firm white part of a lettuce head). It was crunchy and with nuanced sourness (the dashi?). The scallop sat on top which was of excellent quality, non-fishy, rubbery etc. a perfect scallop, tender and melty in your mouth. The broth though was strongly sour as well, though a nuanced sour, hinted at bitterness and light saltiness. Maybe I ate it wrong and that's why I didn't like it.. I ate the scallop piece first, waited 10 seconds, then I had the broth by itself. I feel like the kohlrabi bottom of the scallop should have been sitting in the broth and then you're supposed to take it out eat it, and finish off with the rest of the broth. My bite of the kohlrabi+scallop tasted off because the texture was so crunchy and the taste was lacking (kohlrabi water taste, scallop no-taste, light guac sauce). After the first dish though every got better and better all the way to excellent. Actually too excellent. At a certain point the food was too good. Too rich at some points and too tasty. Like a taste overload. The next dish of the seasonal taco was good. It was savory and sweet but not too sweet. This dish was like a transition flavor item between the scallop and kohlrabi to the more savory dishes to come. That combination and transition flavor was used well throughout the menu. After that came the breads and butters/spreads. At this point I was suggested to portion out the breads to eat through the next some sets of dishes. This was also where the mind-blown part of the meal starts. An extra buttery sourdough tortilla alongside a jalapeno flavored cornbread in the shape of a cactus. Both different, and decently good. 1. A koji butter (japanese fungus), 2. jalapeno whipped tallow, and 3. a middle eastern spicy dip made of peppers etc (Muhammara). The koji butter and whipped tallow were CRAZY GOOD. Especially the koji butter. Strong flavor, sharp, deep, but also smooth. I thought the maple butter from Jacob's Pickles (local solid American food restaurant) was the best butter I've ever had until this koji butter. I only ended up eating and using a third of the approximately 3 tablespoons or so of the koji butter. It was just soooo good, that you shouldn't eat so much of a good thing. I feel like you need contrast with something with not so much flavor and taste when you have something as good as the koji butter and the whipped jalapeno tallow. I also only ate a third of my whipped tallow. I wish I could have gave the throwaway left over to other people to experience in this life, lol. At this point I thought the Muhammara was good, but not great. As the other dishes came out and I tried them with the Muhammara I realized the Muhammara was also excellent. Exquisitely excellent. After that was the chicken pate with mole, then a beef trio of 1. tenderloin with beans and avocado sauce?, 2. chili con carne (shaped like a brownie, ended up being too rich for me and I was stuffed at this point I couldn't finish it 3. tender meat slider on a chinese sesame ball like bitesized bun. There were also spiral pastas fried or cooked somehow to be mouth disintegrating that went with the chili con carne. It was texture perfection. The Muhammara showed up here when combined with the pate, the chile con carne, and the tenderloin. It was so much richness and flavor in one place. Almost too much, MAYBE too much. (obviously depends on ones palette) Gotta remember that all these dishes were eaten with the tortilla and cactus corn bread from before.. Considering #1 and #2 were eaten in combination with the breads and spreads from before and also their own sauces/beans, things ended up incredible. The only forgettable one was the bitesized meat slider which I ate without the sauces. The meat was very tender, but the crispy texture of the chinese style sesame bun and oilyness didn't work for me. The deserts were also very good and a savory-sweet transition dish also existed here to a final choco taco with a cold ice cream center? The venue was nice. The ambiance was a dark cellar style with intimate lighting between every few kitchen counter spots. I wish there was about twice the amount of lighting, because it was hard to read my menu card. There were also tables but I was not paying attention to seating and table arrangements. Service-wise the waiter, Christine, and team did a great job filling up my water and getting drinks and removing plates, adding silverware, etc. Personable and generally unpretentious. No complaints. Will definitely return. Incredible food and great menu construction.

    Made a reservation for dinner about a week ahead. It was seven courses for $112 when we visited in February 2025. Loved this meal! Food highlights were the breakfast taco, arroz mariscos and mairake mushroom. The service was also amazing - Michael curated a nice little wine and sake tasting for us, and they gave my friend a purse hook (nice touch).

The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive.

My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

    This is one of the must-try bars in NY. You describe the flavor profile of the drink you want and…read morethe bartender whips up something for you. I only said I wanted something "floral" and I got the best water lily drink curated for me - never had anything like it. Others in my group asked for "something spicy", "something smoky, nutty, and creamy" and something "refreshing". We were all extremely impressed. Our bartender was Steven and he was awesome! He even chatted with us for a bit after to tell us more about attaboy. I'm rounding up to 5 stars but I will say our experience with the "bouncer" was a bit unpleasant. He called us to let us know our table was ready but we missed the call (our fault). We returned the call immediately and got there within a couple minutes anyway. We were ready to patiently wait for the next availability but were met with some attitude and unnecessary comments from him during the waiting experience. Regardless, we had a great time inside to make up for this. Highly recommend, but just be sure to make a reservation or be on alert and on time when getting off the waitlist.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!

I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
