RajMarch 22, 2019Excellent breakfast spot in a classy environment. Still mourning the older Lever House incarnations but this place is worth a spot on your rotationUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Tash ConcepcionAugust 11, 2017The veal bolognese, tomato and mozzarella and chocolate dessert were really good. Great restaurant week menu.
- Chris KonecnyFebruary 13, 2015Certainly not an original tip but the original Warhol's are really cool. Pricey and fancy place but that's ok because the food delivers! Dover sole was perfectly prepared.
Tilman BeneckeFebruary 11, 2018We had an over the top deliciously tasting 3 course menu for not even 40 Bucks. Very friendly and attentive staff.
James H.December 27, 2014Beef carpaccio was very good with nice mustard and parmigiana reggiano. Good choice.
JoeJuly 5, 2012Bronzino was excellent. Lentil soup outstanding. Dover sole was great. Service was fair at best, and very expensive. You can find food just as good at better prices with better service.- James H.December 27, 2014The salmon with the salmon egg and black lentils was the best dish. Excellent.
Tatiane Caobianco MarquesMay 2, 2013Great place, very different and nice decoration, and delicious food!! Ask for the Risotto!
Though indoor bar area small, great cocktails (reasonably priced!) + ambiance + staff (try the cremisi)..food excellent... fave place for after work
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013Entering the restaurant is a bit like walking into an episode of The Jetsons - A special treat! Try the bar.. Read more
Chris OrihuelaJuly 28, 2018Great choice for restaurant week! Don’t say no to the wine pairing. Great atmosphere- TJ PitreDecember 15, 2012This place was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was exquisite. It's on the pricier side, but you're getting what you're paying for.
Jane NovacaneFebruary 12, 2018Well damn, just bowl me over with some delish italian. The food made me feel like Julia Roberts in pretty woman.
Natalie CentenoNovember 15, 2011you can't get any better than casa lever for an after museum drink on a fall evening. the warhols are a beautiful touch.
Ashley RoseAugust 11, 2015Always intrigued by the outdoor space for a post work watering hole- the mark up is outrageous and not worth it. Stick to St Barth's if you require vitamin D
Damon GarrettApril 22, 2010Under it's former guise, this was a stunning NYC venue. The gauche introduction of carpet, chandeliers, random Warhol and "Spotted Pig"-style pot plants suggest a stylistically troubled reincarnation.
Julie BlinbaumApril 26, 2012Quiet bar in a lovely restaurant - great outdoor space in the shade during the summer. Drinks aren't cheap.
Jill LawsonAugust 26, 2014A+ Service. Ambiance like Roger Sterling's acid trip. Favorite restaurant in New York.
The New York TimesMay 5, 2010Recommended: Vitello tonnato, king crab and sea urchin, mackerel crudo, ravioli, risotto, steak, veal Milanese, sole, sorbetti, gianduja. Read more
BLOUIN ARTINFOOctober 22, 2010This Italian restaurant located in art collector Aby Rosen's Lever Building is lined with Warhol portraits of stars like Aretha Franklin and Sylvester Stallone.
Great spot for cocktails and even better place for dinner! Ask for the Double Cross pear martini with the baby pears!- James H.December 27, 2014Salmon carpaccio was okay but the salmon roe added little. Not the best choice.
- James H.December 27, 2014Desserts were mediocre. This chocolate hazelnut cake was the best but not outstanding.
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011Treat yourself to a Milanese feast! But keep an eye out for those double-crossing Sforzas!
The New YorkerSeptember 30, 2010“The space is either the principal attraction (if its airporty weirdness appeals) or the primary problem (if the weirdness does not, and if the premium therefore grates).” Read more
John MortonFebruary 21, 2010Impress your date by taking them here for a drink. The design of the space is amazing.
