    Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday with his parents. From start to finish, our experience was amazing- which is happening less and less in NYC. The staff was so kind and friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. The atmosphere was beautiful! Quiet, cozy, not overwhelming and so clean. We started with the focaccia which was delicious and a couple of other appetizers. We all enjoyed our dishes and it was the perfect portion. Their cocktails are great too! Especially the classic spritz. The staff was so attentive and made my boyfriend’s day feel extra special. Thank you, Palma! Can’t wait to return.

    One If By Land is one of the most beautiful restaurants in New York, with the most exceptional service and ambience. The ambience feels special (and cozy) with subtle lighting, fresh flowers everywhere, as well as twinkling white lights and candles, and views of the garden patio. One member of our party was delayed in their arrival, and the restaurant graciously waited before beginning service, and never pressured us about the unexpected delay. The timing of every aspect of the entire evening was impeccable, with servers patiently waiting an appropriate amount of time at every stage of ordering and serving. The food was delicious with every course was prepared beautifully. We had the Beef Wellington, Rib Eye, and Halibut. For dessert, we all enjoyed chocolate soufflés and the waiters brought an extra plate of bite sized treats for a birthday we were celebrating. It was an evening we will never forget and we will undoubtedly return to One If By Land for special occasions, if we are lucky enough to secure a reservation!

    Il Corso remains at the top of its game. Food is always fantastic. I tried a couple of new things last night, including the fettuccine with truffle cream sauce. Super-yum. Service is consistently excellent. Another great night.

    We had a limited amount of time to dine before a show tonight, so the speed, service, and options at Caviar Russe were perfect. We had drinks with the crispy rice and also the lobster hand roll, which were both amazing! Highly recommend and planning for a return visit.
