    Brussels & Kale Salad Dinner- very tasty- would have loved even more apple
    Rebecca S.

    I had another great meal at the Consulate on the UWS with my mom. We dined on a weekend evening- I have usually only been here on weekends earlier in the day or weeknights and we did find the noise level inside to be too loud- this can easilu be rectified next time by requesting a quieter table by the windows. I did find the service on paat visits to also be better, but other staff members and the manager did notice when we had been waiting a while with empty plates and then were waiting to order dessert and pay the bill and they took care of us. I will chalk this up to it being a busy weekend as past visits here have featured exceptional service Brussels & Kale Salad Dinner- very tasty- would have loved even more apple $23 Chef's complimentary Amuse Bouche salmon tartare- really stole the show- we would order this next time! My mom doesn't usually go for raw fish and loved it! $0 Short Rib Cavatelli Dinner- my favorite item- so delicious and sheep cheese on top $37 I dream about this dish! The week before I dined at The Smith by Lincoln Square and ordered their short rib pasta- it was SUCH a let down- NO short rib and barely any sauce, similar price to The Consulate, so my mom and I joked that tonight's was a bowl of "redemption short rib" Wild Mushrooms Truffle Flatbread - $24 Madw with goat cheese- my mom and dad's favorite menu item- mom loved it Sticky toffee cake - $15 This was a dessert special and had dates in it, was divine! Receipt for dinner for 2 - before inKind promos - 2 apps, 1 entree, 1 dessert $107.79 post tax, pre-tip . Total post inkind post 22% tip: $91.46 I appreciate that the consulate is on the InKind app and I can use my earned cashback as well as promo offers. Using inkind to pay, I was able to get $25 off the bill and earn 20% cashback for future trips

    Came here with my coworkers and really enjoyed it! It's intimate vibes and very dark inside. Good: - The food was all so high quality - despite being more pricey - The lamb tartar was very fresh and the bread it came with was also very tasty and toasty - The beef pasta dish was very good, the texture was good and the flavoring was just right too - The ceviche was fresh and very palette cleansing Bad: - The table was a bit small for four people - Portion sizes are pretty tiny for the price - Food took a while to get here but the staff were still nice Overall a really great fancy spot to go with friends for a more intimate dinner setting!

    I had an amazing brunch here with a friend during snowfall this weekend and it was such a comforting stop for us with great vibes. The brunch menu is amazing, we opted for avocado toast which came with perfectly runny eggs, an impressive and fresh Niçoise salad and a Burrata Salad with truffles. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, making it an overall amazing experience.

    Came here for happy hour on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon and it was absolutely spectacular. They have a nice outdoor seating area. The restaurant was pretty empty and quiet around 4pm. The weather was perfect, they had all of the doors & windows open providing the perfect indoor/outdoor type of vibe. We got the Wild Mushroom Pinza bread ($16), it was a perfect snack for two people to share. We also tried the "Oui Mademoiselle" cocktail ($14 each), it was tiny but very tasty, the blackberry purée was prominent so maybe try something else if you're not a blackberry fan. After that, we ordered dirty vodka martinis - they were made to perfection. Overall wonderful atmosphere and a solid happy hour, would definitely come back here!!

    Always a good time stopping in, alone or with a bigger party. Dishes are delicious, drinks well made, service timely and attentive. I keep going back for those reasons!

    Cool and inviting. Food: Absolutely outstanding. Every dish we tried was exceptional. Service: Good, though there's room to improve. Staff was friendly, but not always as attentive as you'd expect for a busy Tuesday dinner. Missed Items: Unfortunately, they forgot to bring the barada corn salad I was really hoping for--but everything else made up for it.

    Yes....yes...and yesss..of course I'm not a fan of French cuisine. Just never been my thing, However it's in my neighborhood and I was pulled in by the decor. A beautiful sunny afternoon and inside just screams lavish but opulent. It wasn't pompous, but so inviting. Definitely welcoming ..now the menu was their brunch menu ..prices were affordable with a an array of options ..of course I went with the escargot...(first time) ..impressed ..NOW WHAT REALLY HAD ME ; was their drinks ....EXCELLENT! The prices and the service ...I must come back and give it another go ..come with a friend or a good date night ..it's fly

    Bb is an amazing waiter and was super friendly to my puppy . She brought him water and played with him. The dirty martini was so amazing and truffle fries and oysters were amazing . Great customer service .

    Crab cake and brussels sprouts
    Gabi M.

    Our party of three had a decent meal at The Consulate on a recent Monday night... The place itself has a really cool vibe... It's French Brasserie meets Modern American Steakhouse vibes and It's perfect for a business meal. We shared a nice bottle of red wine and a dozen oysters, a Crab Cake, Filet, Steak Frites, Brussels Sprouts and a Caesar Salad amongst the three of us. While it was all fine, none of the food blew me away. The service was good but not overly attentive. Given the fact that there are so many incredible dining options in NYC, I probably would not return.

    Had a nice happy hour experience here! I wasn't able to drink this visit so I asked the bartender for a mocktail with many restraints and he HIT IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK! He was also very kind and attentive. We had some light snacks and I was very pleased with the food quality. The restaurant itself is very pretty! Upscale but inviting. Will certainly be back!

    Came here for dinner and the food was very good. The French fries are crispy and delicious. The pasta was rich and extremely tasty. The dining experience was odd. The waiters are very gung-ho to clear the table and remove any glassware. It's odd and makes the dinner feel very rushed.

    Went to the consulate for brunch. We really enjoyed the food, everything looked and tasted fantastic. The restaurant itself was spacious for a NYC restaurant and not too busy. Would go back again

    Ashley T.

    Welcoming staff from the hostess, Bibi as well as another gentleman who took our order. The drinks were made great, the oysters and truffle fries were delicious. Interiors decor & music beautiful . Only con is that I wasn't made aware of any specials that were going on at the time, I visited. I learned about it after leaving the restaurant and going to the website to plan my return. But I'll definitely be back to try more.

    "Things to Consider":…read more 1. Food - fine if you want to pay hotel prices for food that you can get at a New Jersey or Long Island mall at much lower prices. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and pita chips warmed and served in the bags they came in. 2. Service - non-existent. No staff members acknowledge your arrival. You either have to wave madly or go to the bar and ask for a drink. The staff is always closing early with the staff excuse that "we are not busy" yet guests are routinely turned away. The staff is not happy and begrudge being there. DO NOT believe in the hours posted on the website. There is a built-in clientele but the staff can't wait to close it down. I don't know what is wrong with management but they have lost the plot. 3. Ambience - The space could be so much better than it is. The lighting is okay but the seating in the bar area is not appropriate. The adjoining cafe has a better feeling. Ambience has a lot to do with making guests feel welcome - this staff doesn't understand the meaning of hospitality but they should not be blamed. It is clear they have no training and are not held to any standard. If you want to go to a great space, go to the Wallace Hotel around the corner (I am NOT affiliated with them... have just gone there many times). It is so sad to see a place with such potential be so poorly run, especially as they have such little competition. The Arthouse Bar has the potential to be THE leading cocktail/music/late-night bar on the Upper West Side.

The server appeared quickly, and she cheerfully took my order for a glass of Chablis (oops, sorry, no Chablis tonight) and Tuna Nori Tartare. The Italian wine -- my second choice -- was more than suitable. So far, a pleasant experience. The Nori arrived promptly, with four bite-size pieces beautifully presented on a small plate. I popped the first Nori into my mouth and ... OMG ... I'm hardly exaggerating when I say it's one of the worst things I've ever tasted! I hate to complain, and so I didn't. Instead, I wrapped the remaining pieces in a tissue and disposed of them in the restroom bin. I returned to my table and ordered the Truffle Potato Croquettes instead. Not amazing, but light years better than the tartare! At this point I nearly departed, but the jazz trio were setting up and I was interested in having a listen. I ordered a second glass of wine, the other Italian choice on the menu, which was quite lovely. The musicians launched into their first number at 7pm sharp and they were world class! Outstanding musicians. I mean, really outstanding! This more than made up for any culinary shortcomings earlier in the evening. All of this to say, I'd return to The Wallace for the music, but not for the food! :-)

We ordered the Hot Hunny pizza and the Burrizza--both completely different but equally incredible. The flavors were unique, well-balanced, and honestly just exquisite. The ambiance tied everything together perfectly--super cozy, inviting, and with a cute, stylish vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Safe to say, I've found a new go-to spot in the city.

We tried several dishes and honestly, every single one was a hit: * Grandma's Sunday Sauce: This was the star of the show. It's pure comfort in a bowl and tastes like it's been simmering for days. * The Bacon: You can't go wrong here.

It's rare to find a spot that balances a sophisticated "speakeasy" atmosphere with such friendly, attentive staff. And of course, the music!
