Did NYE dinner here - stellar service and an exquisite meal in elegant surroundings. The prix fixe was perfectly timed, well-portioned, and thoroughly delicious. One would be hard pressed to find a better way to celebrate such an occasion.

I was not told ahead of time that the menus was prix fixed. Also some of the entrees had up charges and it was very difficult to tell on the menu. I felt ripped off and relentless advantage of.

We chose to have the dinner sampling with the wine tasting. Absolutely a treat. Be prepared to sit, enjoy and dying for 3 and 1/2 to 4 hours. Would definitely do it again. Just make sure you have the time which we did. Enjoy

We had our anniversary dinner here on Sunday. They were short staffed and it showed. Our server was pleasant but covered too many tables for a "fine dining" experience. Dinner took almost 4 hours. The food was outstanding (the minor exception was the cake on the confection sampler - not impressive) The wines were fine. The first course did not arrive until almost an hour after we arrived. The dining room manager visited the table twice to apologize for the slow service. We should not need to ask for more water or mention that we did not get any bread until the third course. We are locals and this is the first time we encountered such a lapse in service. So disappointing. Next year we will head back to Le Yaca.

Booked a reservation for my wife and I for our 5th anniversary. They didn't have our table ready for 30 minutes after our reservation time, which was frustratingly annoying. Once we finally did get seated, the meal was good, and the service matched.

We enjoyed this 5 course tasting experience however it was too slow and went to long 3 hours is much to slow a pace. We were often 20 to 30 minutes between courses. The food was very good and service excellent just needed to be a bit faster pace. We've been to many tasting menu experiences from 4 to 7 courses and they moved at a faster pace and were more enjoyable. That's our only criticism. Other than that everything was great.

Goregous, elegant restaurant with very leisurely dining. We had a table at 8pm and left 11pm. Had a lovely 5 course meal. The service was on point, food amazing and plating amazing. We booked a 5 course meal for $128/person. It was worth every penny. Be sure to checkout dress code and make a reservation.

My wife and I had an exquisite time at the restaurant celebrating our 1st Wedding Anniversary. Sharon R was extremely attentive, kind and did an excellent job taking care of us. The atmosphere is very calm, elegant and relaxed. Highly recommend for a special treat and/or night out.

Wow the five course dinner with wine parings at the Rockefeller Room is an amazing experience. Each course is creative, delicious and beautifully presented. Thanks to our server Sharon and all the staff for top notch service. Go there for a special occasion - you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary dinner at the Rockefeller Room and we had an amazing experience. The food and ambiance were fantastic and the service was even better. The staff was helpful and her knowledgeable about each of the wine parings. Wonderful evening, we will definitely be back!

We were moderately disappointed by our dining experience. The soup was lukewarm; the champagne glasses were not refilled without asking; we had to beg for bread and rolls; the halibut was overcooked; the shortribs were dry; and the waiter frequently disappeared for long periods of time. Most distressingly, diners who arrived well after we did were served their meals before ours. In fact, a table of ten arrived and completed their meals before our main course arrived. We felt ignored. Another faux pas for a restaurant of this quality was, when clearing course four, David stacked the plates at the table and then carried them off. The room was quiet, clean, and elegant but the background music was from the 1950's and played the same 40-minute track four times during our dinner. (How many times can you listen to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'???) One saving grace was the service provided by Deana, who constantly checked in with us, refilled water glasses, and was genuinely cordial. We were so looking forward to this special event but now we don't think we'll be back. All in all, a very disappointing experience.

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and have been to many places in that time, but this was one of the most eloquent dinners we have ever experienced. Service, 5 course tasting menu, and atmosphere, completely felt like royalty.

We had higher expectations. Service while good was slow to arrive. There seemed to be a miscommunication w the hostess stand and the server (who was lovely when she arrived and thereafter) but the other restaurant across the hall is so large and busy we think it was draining the kitchen resources so our food was slow and for a 5 course meal we felt it. That said the food was creative and beautifully presented but not a real value for the price. We would recommend with reservations depending on your expectations.
