Be prepared for not only a meal but THE MEAL. Don't come here if you are on a diet or not already hungry. Amazing food, and as for the bread, there are no words. The restaurant is very old school posh
Hidden gem in SoHo. Both omasakes are great. The 9 course includes 2 more appetizers and higher grade dishes. Homemade soba is offered if you're not full.
Food here is incredible. Flavors are amazing. Get the leeks, duck and chicken. Chocolate dessert.
Lovely open space, hip, quality food and drinks for a splurge night. Take a turn in the Elizabeth Street Garden before dinner or after brunch. Impress your date or out of town visitors.
There is nothing here that is not OMG good. Some of the best oysters 3 ways I've ever had. The veal parmesan is the star. Share.. Huge portions.
Monkey bread is ridiculously addicting, pastas are on point, and I had the best pork chop of my life here!
Sit at the sushi bar in front of the head chef and order the omakase. Absolutely unreal.
Everything at this place is amazing. If you're a fan of aged meat and blue cheese you HAVE to get their signature burger... Or try the gnocchi.
New favorite Japanese spot. Stay away from the "normal" dishes and get their seasonal specials.
Great cocktails, superb service and mouth watering dishes, really an all around fantastic place. Good for a business dinner or for a third date.
Great cuisine , try the sardines and the cod ! The gin tonic sandwiches are an amazing surprise ... And the chef loves Radiohead
Fantastic tapas and authentic experience if you stand at the counter at Bar Jamon. Order the standards: pan con tomate, mussels escabeche, rillettes, Jamón iberico, polpo and finish with churros.
I have been to GT since 2000. The service and attention to detail is impeccable under the Danny Meyer tutelage. I have never been disappointed by the food nor the price points. Definite must.
Go for lunch...same great service for half the price. And yes, do get the pasta course.
This place is totally dreamy. Everything is worth trying, and all comes flying out of the kitchen at warp speed. The suckling pig made me feel like a 3 year old eating my first hot fudge sundae.
An amazingly unique, inventive, and special dinner experience. Each dish was presented with precision and care (and tasted incredible).
Words cannot describe how much I love this place! The ambiance is great and the food is delicious. Also, they serve a lunch menu (two courses) for just 29 bucks, so spend the extra $ on their drinks!
The lamb burger is a staple and a must. If the blood sausage is on the menu, be sure to go after it. Oysters with dill sauce are a solid bar snack with a pint of the bitter.
Hyper-seasonal, inventive modern American food and a good wine selection. The low noise level, generous table real estate combined with courteous service make it a great space for real conversations.
Onion rolls. Apps: shrimp cocktail, bacon, tomatoes & onions. Main course: steak, German potatoes, creamed spinach, fries. Dessert: holy cow hot fudge sundae, chocolate mousse cake, cheesecake, gelt.
Intimate and delicious. 8 courses. Most vegetables. $75. The mirror in the bathroom is one way and looks into the kitchen.
Bone marrow was so delicious! Great extensive selection of wine. Good for special occasions or dining out with parents!
Tasting menu is great! Vegetarian and healthy don't always go together, but here, you know you are eating wonderful food which is clean enough for monks
Amazing food. Friendly and attentive service. Too busy enjoying the food to take pictures!
for a 4-course fixed price dinner of this caliber, GK delivers on every level (especially price, which is less than what you'd think for a meal this memorable and luxurious. [>$98/pp])
Everything is good, but ESPECIALLY the bread. Ohhhh. My. God. The beer pairings are a must: each one is very unique and pairs well with each course, and it's not as filling as you think it will be.
Finally tried this place after walking by for over a year. It's amazing! The drinks are great, house made guac is delicious and the entrees are awesome. Worth the wait.
You’re not here for fusion food, pal. Get the herring plate, a Carling and a shot of aquavit. Some sweetbreads to follow, a piece of char. Skohl!
The lunch prix fixe for this fine dining establishment is truly a steal by NYC standards. Loved the tuna tartar and hake for entreé!
The best meal you will ever have in Bushwick, hands down. But while also drinking the best wine and listening to Blondie's 'Parallel Lines' ON VINYL. Basically, blew Jean George's away...#bushwick
The table you get makes the difference between an underwhelming experience and an overwhelming experience
