As visitors to NY from the UK, this was to be one of the highlights of our trip. I had very high expectations and these were met and exceeded. From start to finish this was the most memorable meal of our lives. The food was beyond amazing, the service was attentive and friendly without being intimidating or 'stuffy'. We got... More

We had lunch here and it was a nice experience. Service was professional, but stiff. To start with I had nettle pierogi with morel and pea tendrils . I was a small portion, but delicious. My husband had ricotta agnolotti with pepper, fava beans and meyer lemon. I like my pierogi better. I then had the lobster with miso pudding... More

I have read all the amazing reviews and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. Went for lunch. Gorgeous setting, comfortable and upscale without a stuffy feel. Decided to try the 7 course meal. What was surprising is that the food wasn't that great. The service, presentation and atmosphere are a 10, but the food is good but not amazing. What... More

Yes, it's very good, but not in relation to the price. Most dishes were not that memorable. Service was friendly, but would for example serve out when people of our party were visiting toilet.

We had lunch here on a lazy Saturday afternoon in February, not sure what to expect with all the hype. We watched the sun dance along the tree line of Central Park and had unhurried four hour lunch with about nine courses.

Food was superb, service was excellent and the attention to detail was incredible. We also had personalised menu's but because we were going out for dinner we chose the smaller menu.... More

WOW ... From start to finish to memories.... Everything was amazing and the restaurant lived up to all its hype and reputation. Out of this world dining experience if you are a foodie and so well put together and presented. Expensive... Yes ... Worth it .... YES, YES, YES...

The menu is highly sophisticated, even for those of us with extensive restaurant experience. It's smart to keep the menu at the table so that ingredients and stylized presentation doesn't confuse your palate once wine pairings take hold of your short-term memory.

One of the finest restaurants in the world, the food was owesome, you must try the oyster... it's a signature dish and a must. The service was exquisite and they also give great advise when you are indecisive. The only thing I suggest to improve is the bread... I'm sorry but it was cold and hard... I will be back!!... More
