The service and ambiance at Gilt are top notch. The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable, and accented an excellent evening out. The food was wonderful from start to finish; even the bread was something to brag about once we were back at home. The dining room is elegant and romantic. Dining at Gilt was a very good experience. more

It was a breathtaking 25th anniversary dinner at Gilt - and my wife and I felt that way even before the check arrived. Seriously, this was the most incredible food experience we’ve ever had (we did the 5 course chef tasting menu w/wine pairings). Every course was exquisite. Our own personal tasting boundaries were stretched – in a very good... more

I booked a table at Gilt mainly because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed. To get into the restaurant you have to walk though a beautiful courtyard at the New York Palace. Once inside, the dining area is stunningly beautiful. The food matches the ambiance perfectly. The flavors are so distinct and pure. Everything that... more

We were guests at the Palace Hotel (highly recommended!) and our first night in town we ate at Gilt based on the reviews they left in our room. We did not have reservations and had just driven in from Boston. We were worn and underdressed but we asked to be seated because Gilt would be closed during the rest of... more

The restaurant was in our hotel and as we already had reservations at Le Bernadin we didn't eat there but I would love to should we return to New York. The best view I have ever seen whilst eating breakfast was from the executive lounge looking out over St Patricks Cathedral down Madison and Fifth Avenue. more

We booked this restaurant based on other tripadvisor reviews and I was extremely pleased that we did. The food was fantastic and the service impeccable. We had the 5 course taster menu, and although the courses were small, they allowed us to appreciate the food and we were both very satisfied at the end of dinner. Although expensive, it was... more

The bar scene is so subjective and everyone has a personal opinion – but I thought this place was going to be a fabulous post opera stop for my husband and I. Not so much. The atmosphere was a little tense and weird. Might be a good time on a different night with a different crowd. The bar itself is... more

We loved our experience at Gilt - simple as that. As you would expect from a two Michelin starred venue the food was fabulous and the service was excellent without ever being intrusive. We had the 5 course tasting menu and it was sensational. The Wagu beef course was the pick for me and will live long in the memory.... more
