This is from the Lass family. We came to NYC from California for the holidays. Like most we didn't know where to go and had a family party of seven. We went on OpenTable and we were referred Bstro 38 as OpenTable's best restaurant of 2024! Like most I try to read the worst reviews here first because I know how the 5-stars are fluff. We read the most recent 1-star review and I decided to call the management ahead of time to make sure before I made the reservation they could explain themselves. Not only did they prove the review wrong the owners personally made the reservation under their names and gave us the best Christmas dinner we will always cherish. The GM Diana was top notch and the Chef made the best meals we have ever had. We had such a great experience upstairs for dinner that we booked lunch the next day! And believe it or not the lunch was amazing! Anyway, I highly recommend this location and we are planning on making Bstro 38 a family tradition for the holidays. Thank you to the entire team. There is something about a family run operation that just feels like Christmas.

Milling Room is a great spot for a date night meal. The ambiance and styling aim to impress which it did. The food is above average without going over the top in either presentation or price. Just watch out for the drink prices. The waiter up charged by 50% for a Hendrix martini, without informing, then tried to pass it off that I should have known the menu price was well liquor. Despite the blatant attempt at a rip off, I will be back

Booked back in July, and got there and didn’t have a table due to company Christmas parties. They finally fit us in later.
