- RRuthVIPNew York City •49 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI haven't eaten Mexican food this good since I was in Mexico City. We loved the pistachio guacamole (fresh roasted pistachio and pineapple in a guacamole with a perfect spice kick). The duck mole was outstanding, layers of flavors in a rich mole that we sopped up with their homemade tortillas. The service was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. High level food in a comfortable and warm environment. I would highly recommend this restaurant.More infoCasa BondPrice: Expensive• Mexican• NoHo•4.7
- EErikVIPWest Palm Beach •18 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe felt instantly transported by the whimsical pawn shop storefront that conceals the exquisite restaurant hidden behind a door at the back. The eclectic items in the shop are all for sale, adding a playful and unique element to the dining experience. Upon entering the restaurant, we were welcomed by vaulted ceilings, brass accents, and a moody, stylish bar that set the tone for the space. We were seated near the front and warmly greeted by an attentive waiter. For brunch, our party ordered a variety of dishes: my son enjoyed the decadent velvet waffles, my mother-in-law savored the Shakshuka eggs, my wife relished the ribs, and I indulged in the skirt steak and eggs. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and eagerly devoured. The ambiance added to the experience—a lively yet relaxed Sunday crowd created a pleasant hum of conversation that filled the spacious room without being overpowering. We had no trouble hearing one another and appreciated the balance of energy and comfort. Overall, the experience was delightful from start to finish, and we left already planning our next visit to this hidden gem.More infoBeauty & Essex- New YorkPrice: Expensive• Unspecified• Lower East Side•4.6
- DDanielVIPLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThe non-alcoholic pairing with the seasonal tasting menu was unexpectedly amazing. There were a couple of hits and misses, but overall, it was pretty decent. The seasonal dishes were well-balanced, low carb, delicious, and aligned seemingly with the restaurant’s garden theme. It’s evident that the chef put a lot of thought into designing these dishes. Wonderful job!More infoLe Jardinier - New YorkPrice: Very Expensive• French• Midtown East•4.7
