Great restaurant for a special occasion. Loved their tasting menu. Lots of attention to detail (like subtle caviar in the miso sable broth). The steak tartetare was amazing!

Go easy on the bread, get the 7 course tasting. It's an incredible amount of food that takes you across the globe. Soup dumplings, sablefish were standouts. Perfect ambience for any special nights!

Very deserving of the Michelin star. Love the foie soup dumplings ! Definitely save for a special event with good company & get the 7 course tasting menu !

Get the 5-course tasting menu. They tailor it to your likes/dislikes, so everyone will have a different yet amazing experience. Request the chestnut course!
DensFebruary 24, 2014
Surprised how great the old fashioned was here. Actually all the cocktails are pretty great. Apparently, really known for their tasting menu too -- will have to come back and check that out.

Calling Chef Anita Lo's restaurant "fusion" would be doing it a disservice, but you'll find hints of Asian and French cuisine and techniques in dishes such as the foie gras soup dumplings.

My family's favorite special occasion spot. (Get the tasting menu!) The sable and fried silken tofu in broth is the best dish I've ever eaten, period.
Cameron KetchamDecember 31, 2015
The service is great. If you feel like splurging, the 7 course is delicious. The extra dish and cheese plate are totally worth it.

Make your reservations far in advance for thoughtful service, elegant yet cozy surroundings, friendly, attentive service and heavenly beignets. Save room for the chocolate tasting.

The fois gras soup dumpling is amazing. The sable with silken tofu, and mackerel with spicy sauce are both very good dishes with complex flavors.
Jason GoldmanApril 10, 2013
This is a gem. I had the mackerel and the sauce it was in was mind blowing. Spicy but complicated. Not just heat. Never had anything like it.

Our most recent meal began with a sublime chicken-liver mousse in a fluted edible cup, a promising firing shot if there ever was one...seared tuna belly with yuzu kosho served alongside tuna tartare Read more

I love hanging out in the small bar area. Intimate setting. Bartenders are consistently super courteous. Cocktail choices are good.
LaurenApril 22, 2013
Absolutely phenomenal. Amazing food, superb service, great ambiance, affordable wine- hands down one of the best meals I've had in NYC.
Roy LeeSeptember 11, 2014
The foie gras soup dumpling is delicious I could have eaten a dozen of them. The miso sable also a must get

Anita Lo runs one of the most solid kitchens in the Village, but her pastries take it to the stratosphere. Get the 5 course tasting & make sure they include the (off menu) butterscotch pecan beignets.
Eelain SteketeeJanuary 5, 2012
classic french technique + essence of asian flavors and the result is superb fine dining. the tasting menu is the way to go here, don't sell yourself short.

Food& Serive; No questions asked, simply the best in West Village. And?; If you are 35yrs of age, you will still be the youngest guest of the night.

A charming West Village restaurant with a great tasting menu. They are often booked so make a reservation at least 1-2 weeks in advance.
Honghui YuMay 18, 2017
So glad I got a chance to dine here before it closes for good. Foie gras dumplings were my favorite.
Crystal ZhengSeptember 27, 2013
Everything, even the butter, tasted heavenly! It's organism in the mouth. Get the tasting menu so you can get the variety.
ElisaOctober 3, 2012
Fantastic. My boyfriend says it was "the best duck he's ever had." Pork tenderloin also amazing. And desserts = phenomenal. Chocolate tasting is a must have
Holly FitzgibbonJune 16, 2016
Delicious Valentine's Day tasting menu - perfectly cooked duck was surely the highlight

Favorites are Middle Eastern red lentil soup and grilled cobia w/ caviar. The wine list highlights female vintners. – Green Guide Editor

Foie Gras dumplings are incredible. Miso marinates Sable is great too.
DishEnvyNovember 17, 2011
The tasting menu offers many tantalizing new american dishes, but you must try the Foie Gras w/ Soup dumplings for its amazing combination of flavors.
Rock RainesFebruary 19, 2017
Wanted to try this place for years and finally did tonight. Food was good; Service ok. Overall experience wasn't special though. I'd say I wouldn't rush back but they're closing soon anyway. \_(ツ)_/¯

Very satisfying tasting menu. Choose to get the wine pairing; good selection of wines.

instead of ordering cocktails, speak to the on-site sommelier. make a reservation the day before.

Cap off the delicious entrees with the bread and butter pudding. It's incredible.
Chris HFebruary 10, 2014
Loved the poached sable and lobster dishes. Lamb was pretty bah-ring however.
Mitchell KaplanDecember 1, 2011
Go enjoy a expertly chosen, prepared, and presented meal. Beware when going for a forkful of a shared dessert, the oil candles were too hot for my wrist hair from several inches away.

Definitely take a look at the specialty cocktail list. The lavender drink is heavenly. And the managers are the nicest guys on the block.

Very good food. The roasted rack of lamb and the candied ginger vodka cooler (with house made ginger-infused vodka) are sublime.
Albert ChoiApril 26, 2013
The pork and duck are delicious.

Impeccable food and service. Highly recommend the tasting menu!
