Vicky SunApril 2, 2015Tasting menu is incredible. Fantastic and creative food with fresh and delicious ingredients. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is excellent.
- Reinaldo Deliz GuzmanJune 30, 2014Probably the best dinning experience I've had in NYC, first time trying New Zealand cuisine and loved it. The flavors are different and exotic, the 10 course tasting menu is phenomenal, A must have!!!
Morgan McKeeOctober 2, 2017As a huge fan of NZ sauv blanc, love the wine program here. Did the a la cart here and enjoyed the gazpacho to start and halibut as a main. Cheese plate to end is pretty fantastic as well.
CassidyAugust 19, 2013Wonderful new addition to the neighborhood - foie gras and the octopus were especially outstanding. Staff were very attentive and had excellent suggestions.
Ben MackeyAugust 28, 2015We had an amazing meal here. Bold, adventurous cocktails to start; oysters, New Zealand venison and cod were all superb. The menu changes daily here so we'll be back to try the tasting menu next time.
RisaSeptember 9, 2014The chicken and egg is unctuous poultry heaven & the tofu gnocchi is a super-unique umami explosion. But my fave bite was the seasonal corn custard w raw corn, herbs, & truffle.
Kevin StappNovember 17, 2018Tasting menu with wine pairing was a real treat. Loved the smokey Manhattan cocktail. Exceptional service. This place is great for celebrating a special occasions
Helene Lund EngebøAugust 16, 2016Superb cocktails were a great start to the meal. Had the short story tasting menu with wine pairing, it was great! Especially enjoyed the appetiser with peas and lemon aioli and pork on shortbread
Julia KristinNovember 15, 2013Beautiful restaurant. Best table is the one in the very back, seems more private and has a nice view to a beautiful back yard. The Stake and Cheese pie was delicious. Very interesting cocktail menue
CharlottesFebruary 9, 2016We had no trouble getting last minute booking for 4 and the restaurant was pretty empty but we had a lovely time working our way through the menu. All excellent and great service to boot.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Modern takes on New Zealand cuisine are executed to the tee at Musket Room. The 6 or 10-course tasting, which includes the signature tomato gazpacho and smoked scallops, is an excellent introduction.
Istria L.November 13, 2015Innovative and impeccable dishes in one of the bets decorated restaurants in Nolita. Quail is a must haves. Pig blood dessert was the true gem. Highly recommended, will come back anytime!
Amber SchiffNovember 9, 2014Delicious. Enjoyed the cod, the passion fruit desert is one of my top five deserts ever. Small portions. Very french style in that regard. Loved the pino blanc from New Zealand.
Ethan FudgeAugust 6, 2013Get seated in the back room. There’s an airy vibe that overlooks a beautiful garden where they grow much of their greens & edible flowers. It feels like you’re in a rich person’s upstate escape house. Read more
ChristineAugust 16, 2013The food was great - appetizers are small, but good. We tried the steak and cheese pie, cod and roasted chicken, all delicious. Service slightly less than friendly especially considering the prices.
The menu changes more often than we go, but I don't think we've ever eaten anything we didn't like. Everything is so well executed, even something I wouldn't go for is a safe bet on deliciousness.
KaitlinOctober 11, 2015$75 six course tasting is a steal. You could be nice and full off of that but get the foie gras too because DUH.
- AmberMarch 17, 2016Super tasty New Zealander food. Similar to Gramercy Tavern and Tuome as far as quality, price and niceness. Three of my fav nice, quiet dinner spots.
The steak and cheese pie is delicious. It's a deconstructed version that is basically just a delicious, tender filet with roasted vegetables and cheese foam (or something).
Michael Fox-RabinovitzFebruary 28, 2016Fantastic place for great dinner, presentation, tastes and ambiance all excellent. Pork belly, quail and foie Gras especially notable
AmateurConciergeOctober 22, 2014Deserving of its Michelin star. Cauliflower soup, mixed salad, quail, cod and steak & cheese pie all stellar. As was plum dessert.- T SJanuary 7, 2019An amazing and highly recommended "short story menu" in a nice and relaxed setting. It's pricey but it's worth it.
- John MichaelFebruary 23, 2015Get the tasting menu and speak to the somm about New Zealand wines. You won't regret it. Also: gin cocktail for two for one is the correct way to start a meal.
SparkieOctober 3, 2014Refined Take on New Zealand CuisineFor an unexpected twist in a standard date neighborhood head to The Musket Room. Awarded a Michelin star this past year
Neel HajareJuly 17, 2022Great selection of wines by the glass. Roasted chicken was my favorite food course
Mark EgermanOctober 2, 2014Sit at the bar and order the best Rob Roy in town. Order anything that looks good on the menu and get extra bread. Pay with Cover and leave happy.
Arne BorreyNovember 1, 2016Venison is a must try here , foie gras and tuna also really good . Overall great culinary experience , don't hesitate !
Quail, scallops, venison, carrot cake, alll soups, knowledgeable bartenders and awesome service 😍 difficult to go wrong!
Ammad FJanuary 25, 2015The 6 course tasting menu is one of the best in the city. The staff is out of this world delightful and informative.
Inna GOctober 25, 2020Food-tasting menu is delicious but VERY small portions and the spacing between each dish is very long (approx 30 minutes each). garden has heaters at every table and they take good covid precautions.
Nate FeltonNovember 18, 2015Such a quaint spot. Best to come after 8 when the crowd picks up. A gem.
Caitlin MannSeptember 30, 2019Absolutely unbelievable meal - the Short Story was the perfect amount and variety of tastes. Absolutely delicious.
SELENAOctober 17, 2014where have i been?! technique and tastes like nothing i've seen. get the venison and cold smoked scallops. then ask to check out the backyard garden. what a treat! #supernomz
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013A cold-smoked scallop pairs with pear, cucumber, sea beans + black garlic, while New Zealand red doe gets juniper + fennel. – Green Guide Editor
Neiki UllahDecember 29, 2013Do the 10 course tasting menu! The broccoli soup and venison were absolutely amazing.
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 14, 2015The Musket Room is very 'cool couple takes parents here to meet cool girlfriend/boyfriend for the first time'. That's a huge compliment. Read more
Howard HuntJuly 28, 2013Yeah New Zealand not Australia. Bloody Aussies always trying to claim our exports. Marvelous, marvelous food and service, laid back gastronomy - will be back.
Lauren DrellSeptember 24, 2013The food is delicious, and the presentation/plating is stunning -- white-tablecloth quality with a much cozier, charming vibe.
Michael Carr-SmithDecember 23, 2013Overall the food was sensational. A great surprise. The red deer was mouthwateringly good with well made purées.
Christopher LeeAugust 24, 2013Great New Zealand cuisine, great atmosphere, fantastic service, and the food was delicious. The octopus is great here!
Halley SprungJune 15, 2014amazing meal from start to finish. Alison was also a dope server; sweet, knowledgable and funny. will definitely return!
Calvin MultanenAugust 18, 2021Food was great and the waitstaff were very nice but the wait times were intolerable. 2 hours for apps and a main. Pretty disappointing.
SolmazAugust 29, 2015The deer... The mackerel...The chocolate...one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan
Joseph FisherFebruary 25, 2014Good food and very beautiful presentation--but the food is extremely decadent and rich, so much so that I walked out of there feeling disgusting.
