Love the atmosphere of this place. Food was outstanding, octopus pastrami is everything it's cracked up to be.
Be prepared for not only a meal but THE MEAL. Don't come here if you are on a diet or not already hungry. Amazing food, and as for the bread, there are no words. The restaurant is very old school posh
Hidden gem in SoHo. Both omasakes are great. The 9 course includes 2 more appetizers and higher grade dishes. Homemade soba is offered if you're not full.
All dishes are awesome, but some are very spicy (looking at you, banana salad). Ask your server to help balance the spice level of your order according to your heat tolerance.
The place, the cocktails, the seafood... Nothing like it. Absolutely amazing. For cocktails, try Coffee, Pear, Cardmon, and Coconut. Food wise, uni toast and tuna/foie gras carpaccio is stunning.
There is nothing here that is not OMG good. Some of the best oysters 3 ways I've ever had. The veal parmesan is the star. Share.. Huge portions.
An amazing dining experience. Beautiful plates. Sitting around the kitchen watching everything & interacting with the chefs made everything even better. Great wine list. Attentive staff.
Sit at the sushi bar in front of the head chef and order the omakase. Absolutely unreal.
Dumbo waterfront with million-dollar views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge. Try the salted caramels, Foie Gras and oysters.
The six-course Farmer's Feast has an extended option, which will add on two savory courses to your meal. Get it, and be prepared for a delicious, farm-to-table feast.
Omakase is 1/2 innovative dishes, 1/2 traditional sushi. Make sure you have around three hours to spare if you go down this route.
Skip other dishes and make sure you order somtum, be it Thai or Lao style (with fermented fish), fried chicken, and sticky rice. Given I'm a Thai who loves somtum, I know what I'm talking about ;)
New favorite Japanese spot. Stay away from the "normal" dishes and get their seasonal specials.
Omakase 7-course at the sushi bar. Delicious, great service, clever dishes. Japanese chimichurri with the sashimi? Yes please.
Great cocktails, superb service and mouth watering dishes, really an all around fantastic place. Good for a business dinner or for a third date.
Everything at this place is amazing. If you're a fan of aged meat and blue cheese you HAVE to get their signature burger... Or try the gnocchi.
Best yakitori in New York. Get the omakase and be specific about your favorite type of meats. I recommend asking for as much offals as you can get. The liver is creamy and the heart, sweet and tender.
Wow. Every dish is a piece of art here. Everything we tried was amazing, but save room for dessert. The coconut rice is the bomb!
Must try the crab and uni pasta. Also loved the grilled octopus and mozzarella en carrozza. Overall amazing dining experience.
The best meal you will ever have in Bushwick, hands down. But while also drinking the best wine and listening to Blondie's 'Parallel Lines' ON VINYL. Basically, blew Jean George's away...#bushwick
Shark appetizer, four Iberian sausages, every single dessert. Phenomenal authentic Spanish cuisine in breathtaking environment served by friendly, well- informed staff. And the owner is there too!
Only two/three course meals on Sunday brunch! Egg benedict is mouth watering and their desert sections are beyond whatever expectations. Plus their complementary Madeline!
Fantastic tasting! For 2, each person gets a different dish per course essentially letting you try the whole menu. Everything was great but the pastas, seafood and steak entrees stood out.
The lamb burger is a staple and a must. If the blood sausage is on the menu, be sure to go after it. Oysters with dill sauce are a solid bar snack with a pint of the bitter.
for a 4-course fixed price dinner of this caliber, GK delivers on every level (especially price, which is less than what you'd think for a meal this memorable and luxurious. [>$98/pp])
An amazingly unique, inventive, and special dinner experience. Each dish was presented with precision and care (and tasted incredible).
Soft shell crab BLT looks and taste great. Service is on the slow end so make sure to allocate enough time to enjoy your meal
This place is totally dreamy. Everything is worth trying, and all comes flying out of the kitchen at warp speed. The suckling pig made me feel like a 3 year old eating my first hot fudge sundae.
Brilliant cooking. Don't overlook the salads. The pistachio kale salad is fabulous. Stellar cocktails as well.
Hyper-seasonal, inventive modern American food and a good wine selection. The low noise level, generous table real estate combined with courteous service make it a great space for real conversations.
A jewel in the middle of Manhattan. The pork dumplings in chilly oil are a must. The dam dam noodles is a sure choice.
Everything is good, but ESPECIALLY the bread. Ohhhh. My. God. The beer pairings are a must: each one is very unique and pairs well with each course, and it's not as filling as you think it will be.
You’re not here for fusion food, pal. Get the herring plate, a Carling and a shot of aquavit. Some sweetbreads to follow, a piece of char. Skohl!
Protip: start with the fried chicken and end with the honey butter chips, anything else, you're doing it wrong
“The refined wine list showcases artisan growers that compliment the locally-inspired tapas menu. Step outside the box with picks from Germany, Spain, or Jura.” - Laura Williamson, Wine Expert En savoir plus .
Lovely open space, hip, quality food and drinks for a splurge night. Take a turn in the Elizabeth Street Garden before dinner or after brunch. Impress your date or out of town visitors.
Intimate and delicious. 8 courses. Most vegetables. $75. The mirror in the bathroom is one way and looks into the kitchen.
Amazing food. Friendly and attentive service. Too busy enjoying the food to take pictures!

The Good Morning is a wonderful mashup of an egg sandwich and a hot dog. Also the tots are IN-SANE.
Exciting market-driven Italian cuisine, but the thing that you might like the most about this restaurant is the service. The team will make you feel like you're the guest of honor at a very hip party. En savoir plus .
Contra is the new Lower East Side restaurant from chefs Fabian von Hauske (formerly of Faviken and Noma) and Jeremiah Stone (Isa).
Dishes are rustic or downright simple (the famed sardines and Triscuits remain a staple), but solid. Brunch is a classic in its own right, but be prepared for the wait.
Best lasagna in NYC, beautiful atmosphere with greenhouse out back and live jazz most nights, and prices that make your wallet happy.
Perfect date spot, romantic, small plates, great wine selection and really good service. Small garden outside and such great character inside.
