“My friend and I ordered:Seafood pancakeDolsot Al bapDuck bulgogiSpicy monkfishCorn creme bruleeI would definately go back for the dolsot al bap and spicy monk fish dishes. The dolsot comes w a beautiful uni creme combined with the crispy bits of rice and textural experience of the fish roe was amazing.The Spicy monk fish had ~4 to 5 small pieces coated with smokey/spicy sauce and some veggies mixed w rice was a great combo.I personally judge a place on how crispy the seafood pancakes are and this was CRISPY. Definately would get again, it was also full of big chunks of seafood which is always a plus.The duck bulgogi was the least memoriable. It had the texture of duck but mainly just tastes like regular bulgogi.Corn creme brulee was sweet but overly sweet with a minimal corn flavor and some corn bits at the bottom.Service:9/10The waitress helping us get seatted for our rsvp were accomodating with grtting a seat closer to the wall vs the aisle.Our waiter was informative and had great sense when asking if we wanted to take any pictures/videos before mixing the Al bap for us.Also advising both of us to get two dishes before we ordered was helpful.Before peak hours, the atmosphere was pleasant. But, the tables are very close together and when its packed during peak hours it can be challenging speaking to one another due to the level of noise/conversation.“
“Wow, where do I begin? Little to no wait time, incredible staff, and exceptional service. My favorite was the empanadas and picana, truly one of the best in Manhattan. I would highly recommend to friends and family and would definitely come back!“
“Delightful authentic Spanish find with a beautiful interior, menu, wine list and the garden seating area is just magical - had a reservation and we sat under the transparent roof listening to the rain while enjoying tapas all night. Will be back whenever we’re feeling up for deliciosa comida española! ?? ps. Be sure to try the NYC x Espana basque cheesecake - WOW!“
“We went to Atoboy because hard to get the reservation of Atomix. Food is match the price of $75 prix-fixe. Only outstanding items are Stripe Bass & Korean Pear(forgot to take pictures). Better to have 3 people in a group that you could try everything. We must have Dessert due to someone birthday, but I wouldn’t suggest after we try. Atmosphere is more ideal for younger group.“
“I’ve had my eye on this restaurant for some time and have been craving good Mediterranean inspired dishes. Dagon did not disappoint.To start, the hummus with green harissa and tomato jam was hands down my favorite hummus tasting in a long time! The flatbread was warm and delicious coated in fresh herbs and olive oil. What a pairing.My main order of salmon over braised red cabbage with a lemon apple butter was so good I couldn’t get enough. I can see why this place was so busy and packed for dinner service. The menu offerings are simply delicious.Honest review of the service/ambience: Our waiter was a bit absent throughout the meal but were taken care of by other staff members who stopped to check on us. I found the noise level to be a bit much at times. The music was just a bit over the top which seemed to resulted in the majority of diners raising their voices to have conversation so the atmosphere just felt hectic.But it was still an enjoyable experience. After all we are there for the food, right !“
“AMBIANCE: The ambiance is serene, complemented by pleasant lighting, gold utensils, and simple yet classy details. The atmosphere exudes an industrial vibe, and the dress code is Manhattan Chic or Business Casual. FOOD: I'll undoubtedly return here. The food surpassed expectations! The Beef Brisket, paired with sweet and spicy potatoes, was a delightful blend of flavors. The brisket was perfectly tender. The drinks pack a punch, and the overall food experience is rich in flavor. The Oysters showcased exciting flavor palettes. The menu, extensive and featuring unique Thai dishes, impressed me. Everything had a nice level of spice. The laminated, clear, and clean menu added to the positive experience. SERVICE: Our waitress was courteous, attentive without being intrusive, and maintained a clean appearance with gloves. She took the time to explain the menu thoroughly and proactively informed us about any sold-out items. Communication was clear and easy to understand. CLEANLINESS: Utensils and glasses were spotless, although I didn't visit the restroom to comment on its cleanliness. NOISE: Minimal. Tables are generously spaced apart. You can hold a conversation here. There is no background music which is great! TIP: Take advantage of the Mon-Thurs happy hour, and be mindful of the 90-minute limit per table on busy nights. Place is pricey for drinks with $18 cocktails, and normal entrée prices $25-$30 Avg. The Crowd is very diverse.“
“Offering a dedicated none kosher tasting menu at the lovely decorated backyard area that feels like an oasis in the urban environment.The eleven courses are served shared, but portioned based on the number of attendees. Feels like most are none kosher with the addition of bacon or pork. Really enjoyed scallops on risotto, roasted cauliflower and donuts. The fried red snapper was the weakest dish, filet and batter very bland, unseasoned.“
“Good upscale style vegan Asian fusion restaurant, although portions could be bigger. If you want a big satisfying meal I wouldn’t recommend coming here.I do highly recommend the Japanese sweet potato and sushi (can’t remember which roll). I wouldn’t normally order vegan sushi but this was surprisingly delicious even though there was no fish, so definitely worth it! We also had the Singapore noodles but that was just alright, very light and not much vegetables.“
“Thank you to Chef Dan, Eliza and Kendra for accommodating our family and fitting us in for dinner. As always, the food was phenomenal and everyone who joined us was very impressed from start to finish. Loring Place will continue to be a favorite of ours for many reasons. Now it is becoming a favorite of the many friends and family that we continue to recommend it to“
“I would say the ambiance is great, I can see why people have date nights here. The service is decent. The food is okay. I came from queens to try the unagi don because I didn’t see any places that will give you a whole piece like this. The eel was hard to break apart I would say, like kinda rubbery? Not sure how to explain it. The sauce is as expected. There are a lot of reviews saying the food is oily and I would say those are pretty accurate (especially for yakiniku). There’s not that much rice. We don’t drink so we can’t really comment on that. Either way, our overall experience was okay and it’s sort of try it once type of place.“
“Amazing staff and food!! We ordered the grilled pork appetizer and it was so delicious! The meat was super tender and flavored. It just melts in your mouth! For our entrees we got the seafood pad cha which comes with a good variety of seafood ranging from shrimp, scallop, squid, and mussels just to list some. The flavors just blended really well. And the classic drunkin noodles are always good ??“
“I was really excited to finally try this place, had high expectations, and it was just alright. The whipped feta was kinda too thick, almost like cream cheese? Idk I wasn’t a huge fan. Ordered the Barbari bread to eat with it and it was fantastic, but not even feel close to enough bread for the amount of feta (for two people). Then we had the eggplant & yogurt kashke bademjan - I enjoyed the flavor on this but it was a little too saucey for me. Lastly, tried the short rib and definitely liked this one the most. It was tender and flavorful but the combination with beans was unexpected and slightly weird. Our waiter was helpful and attentive, and the atmosphere was fine. We sat in one of the back rooms so it’s sort of tucked away from the rest of the restaurant. Overall this place kind of missed the mark for me!“
“This last Saturday, had an amazing dining experience at Osamil. The weather outside was really bad and we reached Osamil only to find the place completely packed. I thought the wait time is going to be really long, but the manager found us a table pretty swiftly. And that feeling of happiness at being seated promptly in a packed place was only the beginning! Everything we ordered was delicious, including the simple fries. I didn't try to cocktails this time round because we were thirsty for some soju that evening. But, definitely going to return.Vegetarian options: The restaurant has vegetarian and vegan options. I am not a vegetarian but on this night, I had Mushroom japchae, which is a vegetarian dish.Dietary restrictions: The waitress, who took our order asked us about any allergies and when I mentioned that I have seafood allergy, she went to great details to understand the extent of my allergies. Moreover, she ensured at the kitchen that my food won't have any oyster sauce.“
“We've eaten a lot of korean food in NYC, including various price points and tasting menus, and this is hands-down one of the best we've experienced. The dishes are inventive, but have a balance of flavors that are both familiar as well as new. Dishes are well seasoned, cookery is excellent. No complaints. Would eat here repeatedly.“
“I absolutely ADORED this place! I came here with my partner last weekend and I got the Shishito Smolder Margherita and she got the Clarified Cocktail Flight! Both were so mfing delish!!!! Such a cute atmosphere and so romantic. Not to mention the service was PHENOMENAL our server was so attentive and sweet and barely any wait at all. This is one of my new favorite bars in Manhattan and we will definitely be coming back!“
“Our 60th birthday dinner could not have been better in any way. The food was fantastic. Shared many small plates including spanakopita, spreads, zucchini chips, shrimp, beat salad, shredded Brussel sprout salad. The restaurant wasn't too noisy. (It was a weeknight.) They sat us at a round table which made it easy to converse. Look forward to a return visit.“
“It is always to come back to this great place. I love stuff there and the atmosphere they are making there. Unique drinks, with great flavors you'll never think off. Amazing food, always tasting delicious. Highly recommended to visit while being in Greenpoint.“
“Cafe Camellia is amazing! Great addition to the neighborhood with really fresh and original coastal seafood and excellent drinks. The environment is really warm and the service is fun and great! Highly recommend the margarita, truffle old fashioned, and great wine list! For food, we love the ribs, crab cake, shrimp and grits, and basically everything we've had. And make sure get the both desserts every time!“
“We came across Aura on a night out, and we are so happy that we decided to go in. We loved it so much, that we stayed till closing. The owner welcomed us with so much warmth, and hospitality.He was incredibly accommodating and got us seats by the beautiful, electric bar even though it was full. The bartenders were super sweet, fun, and everyone was so pleasant to be around. Overall it was a cozy, fun, charming little place.Drinks were amazing. Our friend tried the food and she loved it. We will definitely be back for more drinks, the food, and the aura ;)“
“Cozy, dimly lit wine bar that is inviting. Prices for happy hour are very reasonable, a bottle of red wine costing $44. For nibbles we tried the goat and double cream cow cheese that came with a homemade apricot jam and spicy chutney - both which were very good. We sat at the bar in front of where they were prepping ingredients so got some marcona almonds and a spoonful of their delicious chocolate mousse. Would definitely come back.“
“Tl;dr food was decent, and service was good.Came here on a Tuesday night, and it was packed. Service was pretty great, and we always had our water refilled. Dishes also came out extremely fast; we were in and out in about 20 minutes. Food was good, but nothing special. The creamy udon was ok, but the sushi was surprisingly really good.“
“Wow! Some of the best food I have had in the city! Was looking for a nice place for dinner on a Saturday night, happened to find this place and they were super accommodating without a reservation. Our server, Dulce, was personable and attentive and took such good care of us. We will be coming back, highly recommend!“
“The food here was absolutely delicious, the service was great, and the ambience was cool (including the music). I lived in Japan for a few years and really couldn't find good agedashi tofu anywhere - but the agedashi tofu here was so so good. I would go again just for the agedashi tofu. We also had the beef nabe, okonomiyaki, ddukboki, and yakisoba - all of the dishes were superb.“
“Currently $56 per person for tasting menu. Delicious, unique, amazing flavors!! All waiters were nice. They were transparent about adding 20% tip to the bill. My 1 year old baby ate guac, duck, bone marrow and more and loved it! One of the best restaurants I have EVER been to! I will come back!“
“Fantastic date spot in West Village. Cozy interior and options for outdoor seating. Authentic French cuisine and vibes. Loved the cocktails and service was friendly and quick. Went here for brunch before a jazz show nearby. Highly recommend.“
“There is not much variety of food, the atmosphere is good but there is no place to give celebration surprises, I didn't like that. I went to celebrate my first year anniversary and I couldn't give the surprise because they didn't do that there. That's what I liked. I'm quite disappointed.“
“Her food is really delicious! ! ! ! The ingredients are all very fresh, the food is served very quickly, the food is beautiful and the portions are large, and the service quality is super nice! The fried eel slices are a must-try. The eel slices are so fresh and bouncy when eaten, and they go perfectly with the bamboo shoots! The pickled fish is also super delicious, the meat is tender and firm, and the pickled cabbage is soothing and refreshing! ! Super recommended! !“
“Loveee the vibe! Very cute/casual, great if you're looking for a chill spot to grab some drinks and chat with friends. The music was perfect and definitely set the right tone. As soon a we grabbed spot at the bar, the staff gave us water and took our orders right away. Service was great throughout the rest of the night. Everything is fairly priced and the bar snacks are what you'd expect. Excited to come back during the summer for the outdoor patio!“
“Delicious panini and baked goods! Service is always very friendly and welcoming. One of my favorite places in Astoria! Great for dine in, takeout, or delivery. They have a lovely outdoor patio in the back, and the indoor dining space is cute as well.“
“I have to say that I was so pleasantly surprised at how great the service was at this very popular wine bar. We went in on a Friday night before seeing a play across the street. The staff could not have been nicer, very helpful with our selections and very professional. The manager even remembered us after we stopped back in after the play. The wine selections are nicely curated and the food is delicious. Will definitely stop back again.“
“Really solid Iranian food @ a great value, in a place with great service & a cool ambiance. I was really impressed my first time going and expect this to be a go-to! I heard they served sosis bandari at one pt - if they bring that back I’m there immediately ??“
“Had a small tasting of cheeses that came with quince jam(Mahon Curado and Idiazabal), crusty soft bread with pure tangy EVOO, and a pear cardamom mezcal cocktail that was so juicy and balanced; They have a full dinner menu and many options for tapas and drink; Food is fresh and flavorful, great atmosphere, LIVE music, and service, a great place to come whether you're apart of the building community, on a date, or with family and friends.“
“Hidden gem providing very high quality food especially their meat. We only had lamb shanks and lamb cigars and didn't even take pictures of them because of how good it smelled and tasted. Some of the best baklava I've had in a while and tiramisu.Service is prompt and attentive while giving you space while you're eating to enjoy your meal.Overall I would highly recommend you to come here hungry and allow yourself to have a great meal with your loved ones.Will be back again soon.“
“Well tbh - It was good.I got the lasagna and short rib fettuccine. The fettuccine was subtle with strong meat flavor. The lasagna was really good and they are all served hot. If you want to try something new Italian food, this is your place.“
“Have you ever had Turkish food from the Aegean Sea region? It’s your favorite Turkish food with a sophisticated touch to it. I got to experience Turkish brunch at @ranafifteen and it did not disappoint! Just simply pick which eggs you want and the delicious small plates keep coming out. Everything was so fresh and high quality! The service was amazing and the atmosphere is amazing because you feel like you’re in a cave! It’s so pretty! It’s a great deal too might I add.

“Ostrica is a gem! Awesome happy hour, and the oysters are always fresh & meaty. Ownership obviously cares about the product they put out, every dish we've had has been on point. Let's make sure this place is around for a long time!“
“Gurume is a hidden gem in the heart of NYC theater district. It offers a delightful fusion of traditional flavorful Korean cuisine with a modern twist. The ambiance provides you a young bustling vibe, warm lightning and vibrant murals. Staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous.Gurume offered Korean inspired cocktails, premium soju and traditional teas to accompany the dishes.Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be customized for vegetarians. Staff were very considerate and knowledgeable to enquire any restrictions before they place the order. It was impressive when staff came to let us know one dish has fish oil which was unavoidable. They go a long way to make customers feel special“
“Hidden Gem in every sense of the words. This tops the list of one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Chef Jeremy does absolutely everything possible to transform his tiny space into the best part of your trip to Dumbo. The food is next level, we were blown away by the braised beef noddles. Dont skip on the dumplings, they are some of the best dumplings we had in NYC. The matzah ball soup dumplings were an innovative showstopper. Mad respect for this place, thank you!“
“Went there for lunch and really enjoyed! Beautifully decorated restaurant with delicious food and great drinks followed by friendly and professional staff..International cuisine menu and if you are lover of Balkan food than definitely is best in NYC!! beans soup and mix grilled meat were amazing! Can't wait to come again!“
“I was with my girlfriend today in Savage and it is a place that you absolutely must visit! I took “Adam and Eve Ate the Apple” and I recommend it one hundred percent! The bartender, Daniela, is excellent at her job and will never disappoint you with any cocktail!We ate the elote, the sliders and the pork belly tacos (you can't miss the latter in your order!) and I also have to say that Sandra's service is the best, always attentive to the table, careful that we didn't miss anything and that we were always comfortable in the place! If you go to Salvaje ask for Sandra!“
“We grabbed an early reso prior to a performance downtown. By the time we left, the place was abuzz with great music, a cool vibe, and great service. We started off with a couple of cocktails which were unique and quite refreshing. Our server, Romi, gave us suggestions and they were spot on. The hummus was some of the best we've ever had. Creamy with warm whole chickpeas on top along with some spice which all melted in our mouths. Great consistency with some fresh challah to clean the plate. The burning potato was a nice combo of smashed spuds along with creme fraiche and shaved horseradish. Really rich and smooth! The Spanish Mackerel was sitting in a sauce of tomato seeds and spices. The remaining challah was a nice sponge to soak up every bit of it. We topped off the meal with their cheesecake...nothing ordinary at all. It was creamy, buttery and unique in it's own way. Stellar experience!“
“Perfect for date night. It was our first time here and we loved it. We attended a wine-pairing dinner with wines from a special region from the north of Italy. However I can see us coming back for a laid back night. You can order from a thoughtfully curated wine list while enjoying a nice dinner in a warm and inviting place.“
“best tapas outside of spain, and fair prices for the quality and taste, freshness too.used to be on 19st pre pandemic this location is beautiful. staff very friendly. we’ve been all over, to thousands of restaurants in the city and this is one of our favorites.Kid-friendliness: lots of families and lots of space“
“Abbiamo trovato Via Toscana per caso, ed è stata una coincidenza perfetta! Andrea e il resto dello staff sono stati gentilissimi, accoglienti, e precisi. Esperienza italiana di accoglienza vera e calorosa. Abbiamo fatto un aperitivo e dopocena al bancone e siamo stati tutti molto soddisfatti dell’esperienza. Grande chef Alessandro. Molto consigliato“
“The combination of Spanish and Venezuelan cuisine is perfectly executed in this restaurant! Henry our server helped to recommend us some of his favorite dishes, I highly recommend the arepitas. They came out pillowy and soft with a wonderful crust on them. A person in our group was a vegetarian and there were more than enough meat free dishes for them to enjoy themselves alongside us. The atmosphere, food and service were all 10/10!“
“Showed up right at opening after an early AM flight and this was our first meal in NYC of the trip. Atmosphere was perfect, service was attentive without being overwhelming. Food? Wow, delicious. Cuban eggs bene for me and tostones and empanadas for the wife. All amazing. Thanks for kicking off this trip with a great meal to fuel our city wanderings!“
“We used to come here, all the time. Now, one of our favorite staff is gone and our other only works on weekends. And, the reviews were not good for a while. But, I've always loved this place and convinced my friends to try again.So glad we did! The food is as good as it always was (even though my unfortunate dietary needs have limited me.) And our server--Rebecca--was SO on top of things! She guided me every step of the way, and even alerted me to bad for ME ingredients in some of our old faves. She made us feel like she had no other customers for the evening. She was so attuned! Good to see some other familiar faces, as well.The only reason I had to score low was not really Tia's fault. One of my friends required a proper chair, rather than one of the higher ones or a seat at the bar. So, we had to sit in back. Sadly, there was a group of young women, having a birthday party. Not only were they so loud that I had to shout to be heard--and usually I'm the one being told to be quieter--but they really dwarfed the entire room with their selfishness. So, not a critique on my beloved Tia Pol. This is more of a warning to keep a lookout for big groups of women if you're going to sit in the back room. Otherwise, you're in good hands!“
“Really good food and aesthetic atmosphere! Loved the nachos and quesadillas it was really fresh and delicious! Jessie was our server and she was very attentive and made sure we are okay at all times. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed celebrating here!“
“I’ve visited twice and had several items on the menu and not a single one disappoints. Cozy atmosphere, and very friendly waiters and bartenders. The service is really great as well. I’m so happy to have Fito as a great addition to the neighborhood.Vegetarian options: The nachos can be prepared vegetarian, and there are many pescatarian options (shrimp ceviche, tuna tartare).“
“Nice and cozy little restaurant byob, greatappetizers, lebni, beef and calf’s liver, babaganoush and a hot hummus with pastourma that is OFF THE CHARTS!!Lamb kebab succulent and tender, Adana kebab just as good and the Shrimp dish was delicious!!I definitely recommend this place!!“
