   The ambiance and service were by far better than most restaurants you could compare to. The decorations throughout, the pianist playing in the background, the fireplaces roasting, everything was on point with ambiance. The servers were constantly available and quick with accommodating any request. The food serving size to start was miniscule, which other restaurants in the area serve larger amounts with similar or lower price points. The taste of the food did not feel elevated to merit the price of the meals, in my opinion. I was expecting more flavor from the food, especially the final course before dessert, which felt a bit bland. That's not to say it wasn't tasty, but it just didn't have the WOW factor. Also, the presentation of the food was a bit boring. The value came mostly from the decor with the fresh flowers everywhere and tabletop decorations, which didn't really fill the stomach but did appeal to the eyes. The seating arrangement felt a bit tight since you had to move the table to get in and out of your seat. The coat check at the entry was nice, but we didn't make use of it this time. Booking the reservations was simple, and you're seated right away upon arrival. Overall, it's a great spot to do a special occasion at, but not for a regular day meal.

   Grossly overpriced and non-existent service. We were attended to by the waitstaff, not a waiter, who kept the prix-fixe course coming in an impersonal, mechanized feeling format. The food was mediocre. The cocktails were nice, but nothing was exceptional or stood out versus any other restaurant experience. Add to that the ridiculous price gouging of $350pp which was not evident on the Open Table booking system, and we had a very disappointing, underwhelming evening. This restaurant is coasting on name value and history vs. their actual food quality and dinner service.

   Such an incredible dining experience for Valentine’s Day last night! The five course tasting menu was delicious. So happy we added on the wine pairing option as well which complemented the tasting menu perfectly! The decor was beautiful from the candles and roses for centerpieces and throughout restaurant, immaculate decor with a great pianist curating such a romantic ambiance. I had such a great time and will definitely return back! 💞

   My Wife and I last dined at this wonderful, historic restaurant 24 years ago on the night we got engaged. Despite any changes since then, it was equally fantastic last night. The top-knotch service, the romantic ambience and, of course, the food & drinks were all marvelous. I highly recommend the Duck Confit starter, the legendary Beef Wellington, and the Creme Brulee. It's not an inexpensive evening...but magic doesn't come cheap!

   Disappointing. Poor, uneven, indifferent service. Average, at best, fare.

    Tremendous meal. Segundo, our waiter, was professional and friendly. The ambience was perfect. We were greeted upon arrival so nicely w a friendly attentive welcome. The food was delicious and served hot.(not always the case, even at the finest restaurants). One if by land continues to be one of the most special places in NYC to celebrate important occasions.
