On our second attempt (the first we had not made reservations and the wait was just a bit long) we finally made it to Peasant this past winter. And, boy, it did not disappoint our high expectations at all. We waited upstairs in a quaint little seating area for the wine cellar bar/eating area downstairs to open. While waiting we... more

A friend from Manhattan recomended Peasant, but he did say to eat downstairs. It was quiet and cozy with no wait time at all. I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection! My fiance had the skate fish which was so light and flaky. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Manhattan more

Mediocre food - wait time of at least 1 hour before food arrives. We arrived on time for an 8pm reservation for 7 people, after being warned of a $25/person charge if we were late/did not show. When we arrived our table was not ready and there was no eta. After inquiring about downstairs, we were offered a tiny bench-like... more

If the food were stellar and the resturant packed I could have forgiven the clumsey rest. manager/seater who asked me where the other half of my party when he was late. I was begrudingly seated at 6:00 by myself even though no patrons had shown up as of yet. It was completely empty. My husband had taken the N train... more
