Caroline SchulweisMarch 28, 2015Great 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!
Bin YangOctober 26, 2015Go 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!
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Calling 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.
DensFebruary 24, 2014Surprised 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.
angela gaylorJanuary 12, 2016Get 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!
Talisa ChangOctober 16, 2013My 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, 2015The service is great. If you feel like splurging, the 7 course is delicious. The extra dish and cheese plate are totally worth it.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 2, 2011Make your reservations far in advance for thoughtful service, elegant yet cozy surroundings, friendly, attentive service and heavenly beignets. Save room for the chocolate tasting.
carla elaineFebruary 8, 2013Very 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 !
Vasanti Wall-PersadJanuary 13, 2014The 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, 2013This 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.
ElisaOctober 3, 2012Fantastic. 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
Roy LeeSeptember 11, 2014The foie gras soup dumpling is delicious I could have eaten a dozen of them. The miso sable also a must get
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Favorites are Middle Eastern red lentil soup and grilled cobia w/ caviar. The wine list highlights female vintners. – Green Guide Editor
Berk KapiciogluMarch 27, 2014I love hanging out in the small bar area. Intimate setting. Bartenders are consistently super courteous. Cocktail choices are good.
LaurenApril 22, 2013Absolutely phenomenal. Amazing food, superb service, great ambiance, affordable wine- hands down one of the best meals I've had in NYC.
New York HabitatOctober 12, 2011A charming West Village restaurant with a great tasting menu. They are often booked so make a reservation at least 1-2 weeks in advance.
DishEnvyNovember 17, 2011The tasting menu offers many tantalizing new american dishes, but you must try the Foie Gras w/ Soup dumplings for its amazing combination of flavors.
W. Vincent ParkNovember 16, 2012Food& 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.
Rock RainesFebruary 19, 2017Wanted 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)_/¯
Eelain SteketeeJanuary 5, 2012classic 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.
Tim VetterMay 29, 2010Anita 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.
Crystal ZhengSeptember 27, 2013Everything, even the butter, tasted heavenly! It's organism in the mouth. Get the tasting menu so you can get the variety.
Mitchell KaplanDecember 1, 2011Go 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.
Holly FitzgibbonJune 16, 2016Delicious Valentine's Day tasting menu - perfectly cooked duck was surely the highlight

SmitchApril 7, 2013Very satisfying tasting menu. Choose to get the wine pairing; good selection of wines.
Chris HFebruary 10, 2014Loved the poached sable and lobster dishes. Lamb was pretty bah-ring however.
Wendy ParrFebruary 28, 2012The cauliflower gnoccho is beyond. The banana peanut butter mousse dessert is a reason to live
The Wall Street JournalMay 13, 2010After a year of bad luck, the owners turned to feng shui: obsidian arrowheads and amethyst crystals are buried in the basement here, and walnut and metal essences are mixed into the paint. Read more
AnngelicaOctober 24, 2010Very good food. The roasted rack of lamb and the candied ginger vodka cooler (with house made ginger-infused vodka) are sublime.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014April Bloomfield, chef of The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Miso marinated sable w/ crispy silken tofu. Read more
David AdamsApril 29, 2014Cap off the delicious entrees with the bread and butter pudding. It's incredible.
