    Absolutely cool place! Thank you Bulgari Associate Kate having lunch there to recommend. Gorgeous atmosphere with live jazz music. The food needed help with seasoning but the French onion soup was the best! Thank you Sebastian for your professionalism, only a month in, oh yes, you will go far. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary special!

    A very tasty and reasonably priced meal in NYC? Yes please! I popped in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at this cozy little venue. This was one of those rare pleasures where I was challenged to pick just which dish to eat. However, I seemed to have picked the jackpot with the Burrata salad. While I've generally encountered burrata prepared with prosciutto or as a Caprese, the inclusion of roasted corn and shaved truffle was delightful. The creme brulee was on point and the service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely drop by here in the future!

    Escargots 1/2 dz and baked shrimp

    Upscale restaurant in midtown. consulate also has an upper west side location. Reservations were easy to make online. Chefs served complimentary sushi, which was super fresh and delicious. For appetizers we ordered escargot, which was drenched in herb butter and baked shrimp, served in a tomato based sauce and sourdough. Unfortunately this was a bit too sweet for my liking. Main entree we ordered the caramelle pasta - pasta consistency was a bit too thick although sauce was flavorful, hanger steak which was delicious and short rib with cauliflower mash - which was a bit too fatty. I would go here if you're looking to splurge or celebrate. Cocktails were average $22. Overall gorgeous place and location however way too overpriced for the quality.

    Chocolate Lava Cake

    An early dinner before a show and It was a pleasant experiment. Even though we went in during happy hour we decided to sit upstairs and away from the crowd. They're very busy during happy hour. Kale salad was a little dry with.no flavor, T-bone steak was above average and their signature short rib cavatelli was nothing to die for but decent. Ended the meal with a chocolate lava cake. I'd probably go back.

    The theater menu is offered 4:30-6:30 and a pretty great deal. We came here for President's Day dinner and it was the least busy as we ever saw it. Nice actually for us since it's usually loud when it's full. The new items we tried were the desserts. The chocolate lava cake seems to be meant for 2 based on price and size. The inside is very liquidy so it sells on its promise. Good deep flavor and went nicely with the Gelato. The pineapple upside down cake we got to try in the restaurant as intended and I actually wasn't as big of a fan. I think the syrup is too sweet for me. There's pineapple sorbet on top which helps with some tartness.

    Took the wife here for Valentine's Day, and we're BOTH glad I did. Not a huge fan of pre-fix menus, but I'll definitely make an exception for this restaurant. The place has two levels and a grand balcony staircase, which we got seated alongside. Decor was fancy, but probably not as "stuffy" as you might expect from a French restaurant. You can tell this place is trying to attract more than just the "Old Money" crowd. Service was great. Coming in, the hostess handed my wife a rose. And as always, I appreciate places that take extra care to accommodate my wife's gluten allergy. We got free glasses of sparkling wine. For my app, I ordered the strawberry beet soup. For my main, it was the lobster risotto. For dessert, the crème brûlée. "Strawberry beet soup" sounded so weird, naturally I had to try it. It's served cold and creamy (but not so creamy that I felt full before my main was served). The lobster risotto, well, you know that scene near the end of 'Ratatouille' where Anton Ego takes one bite of his meal and gets instantly transported back to his childhood? Yeah, it was kinda like that. Only it was me and my Nona's risotto. The crème brûlée was the venerable icing on the cake. It was my first time having one. An intriguing combination of flavors, with a thin, candy-like outer layer and a creamy depth. Sweet and delicious! It's not cheap, but this place makes an ideal date night. The food was not only delicious, but perfectly-portioned. As in, by the end of the night, we didn't feel stuffed. Just...satisfied. Which is probably the way Humans ought to eat. But I digress. Would we come back to The Consulate on a non-holiday? Absolutely!

    Short Rib Cavatelli
    Jairo T.

    Recent visit to the consulate was well received. Elegant interior makes for a romantic dinner scene. Attentive staff and quick service. Ordered short rib cavatelli and the duck frites. Visited on restaurant week so I added a Caesar salad appetizer and bread pudding as additional picks included in my three course meal. Cavatelli stole the show among main dishes but the bread pudding was delish.

    Came here before a broadway show to enjoy the pre-theater menu. We got the kale salad, escargot, striped bass, roasted chicken, creme brulee and pineapple upside down cake. The kale salad was so refreshing with the perfect hint of sweetness from the apple slices and savoriness from the pecorino. The escargot was decently good. The striped bass was nicely seasoned and skin was so crispy. The red pepper gastrique was great with the vegetables. The roasted chicken was slightly dry and honestly, I found the spinach to be a bit salty. The creme brulee was done very well with refreshing fruit on top. My partner enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake, which was a bit sweeter than I preferred but overall, very good. Service is great! Our water cups were never empty! They also have a coat check so you don't have to feel cramped with extra clothing at your seat during your meal.

    The space was 2 levels with a grand staircase, had beautiful, elegant interior and a classy atmosphere. There was an old world charm to the place. My friend and I came for brunch. We were given booth seating, which was nice and comfortable. I ordered the Steak and Eggs, which was served with herbed potatoes and salad. The Steak was already sliced, making it easy to devour! It tasted delicious and was cooked exactly the way I like it: Medium well, with a slight char on the outside. It was tender, delightfully juicy and the chimichurri sauce on top was full of wonderful bold flavor. I also enjoyed the potatoes, which were the perfect consistency, slightly crispy, and well seasoned. Eggs were cooked over hard and pretty tasty. The salad was mixed greens, but quite bland because there was barely any dressing. Service was solid. Our waiter was personable and attentive. The pricing was expensive. For instance, the Bread Pudding sounded good, but not for what they were charging - over $14! They do have a Pre-Fixe weekday lunch menu, so I might try to return for that.

    I came here during lunch. The Consulate has a classy atmosphere with two floors and a beautiful staircase. The second floor was the main dining area. The food was perfectly prepared and the service was solid. The tartare trio, crab cake, pork tacos, and the creme brûlée were delicious and portions were good. You can also enjoy a pre-theater menu for $65 every day from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, definitely a steal. I would come back to try this menu.

    Where is the best place to sit? Upstairs or down? Having a girls night.

    Upstairs is really nice and classy. If you're going on a night that live jazz music is playing, it can get a tad bit loud upstairs, though!

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!

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.
