    We arrived on time for our 615p reservation which was booked weeks before. When we arrived they were running late. Our table was for 12 and with children very hungry. Diego the manager was very empathetic and other than ask for patience he was real sorry about the situation. Tables stay over 2 and 3 hours on a Thanksgiving and Black friday holidays. Knowing the rysh the restaurants have. Anyway he was very accommodating and within 30 minutes we were searing in out table. The food was amazing. My new spot in Manhattan.

    We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at OIFLTIBS. My 91 year old mother has lived around the corner for 64 years and we’ve been to the restaurant off and on for special occasions over the last 40 years. The food was delicious and the service was fabulous from Hosts at door to our great Server Fernando to the table buss people. All so nice and very attentive. It’s a beautiful restaurant and felt very festive and special. Thank you so much.

    The River Cafe is my favorite restaurant in New York, and probably anywhere else too! The beautiful romantic atmosphere, amazing views, warm yet attentive service and truly exquisite food make for a perfect experience. It is a special occasion place, not for everyday, but we have celebrated our anniversary there several times (when in the city - we do not live in NYC), and this time it was our 50th. They did not disappoint! I hope I get to go back for many more special occasions. We took our adult son with us and he loved it as well.

    We have eaten caviar service here for years and it has always been amazing, last night we combined caviar service with a number of a la carte items - every dish was outstanding- the meyer lemon foie gras, bluefin tuna & golden egg, stunning amuse bouche and a beautiful puligny-montrachet. Service was top notch and we can’t wait to return - thanks to all the staff for making this a night to remember
