We are accustomed to fine dining as we live in New Orleans and are also seasoned travelers. The reviews for Gilt restaurant on trip advisor have been so fantastic that we definitely placed it on our dining list for an anniversary celebration during my husband's medical meeting in New York last week. What a disappointment! There is a three course... more

My husband and I left disappointed by this dinner. What we liked: the ambiance is unique and striking. Ornate, dark and incredibly elegant. The food was excellent - flavours were interesting, stunning presentation and detail. But we were let down by the service - it was not at a level consistent with a restaurant of this calibre. We had the... more

Headed there on a weekday night with my wife for a 10th anniversary dinner. It was wonderful. Very elegant setting behind St Patricks Cathedral, entered from the courtyard of the Palace Hotel. Wonderful, professional service from first to last. We had the best seat in the house and felt very pampered. We elected the full 7 course tasting menu and... more

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

Our own personal tasting boundaries were stretched – in a very good... more

Once inside, the dining area is stunningly beautiful. The food matches the ambiance perfectly. The flavors are so distinct and pure. Everything that... more

Beautiful place in one of he nicest hotels. I'd say that is the best part though.. 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
