Irina BadalyanMay 6, 2015Great, fancy and tasty! I'll recommend to go before opera or theater! Go there for a real food experience
The Corcoran GroupNovember 14, 2011The service is so good here you’ll feel like you’re the only table in the place! You must try the Foie Gras “Shabu Shabu” and the Sea Urchin Panna Cotta!
Food NetworkAugust 15, 2011On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Frank Bruni goes for a classic breakfast of Bacon and Eggs at Picholine, offering dishes made with fresh seasonal ingredients. Find more tips at Food Network Local. Read more
New York HabitatNovember 22, 2011An exquisite French-Mediterranean spot perfect for splurging. The food is remarkable but the only way to get the full experience is through the tasting menu and the popular cheese cart.
Desserts are a must. I work hard on making them so try at least one. Pear Torchone is my favorite to make and eat. Petit fours, chocolate and ice creams are all made in house, oh so delicious.
Lisa MonroigJuly 3, 2011The only French restaurant I know that has a vegetarian menu. Try the mushroom risotto and ask for it vegan. Delicious! Also, the chef sends you "gifts" and may even visit your table when quiet.
Serious EatsFebruary 14, 2014For a less expensive way to try this restaurant, get the three-course dessert tasting in the bar or lounge.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014French-Mediterranean cuisine is elevated and meticulously plated. Their signature cheese cart and innovative desserts don't disappoint.
William HAugust 23, 2014Very, very nice price fixe menu. Sweet garlic soup and risotto were especially tasty. Definitely not on the affordable side.

Kyle ThomasJuly 27, 2015Prix fixe dinner in the wine room. Amazing dinner in great romantic setting!
Jonavennci DivadAugust 8, 2011Picholine is a fine elegant restaurant definitely well worth a visit....The food, wine and service is superb- Special Christmas Menu: Lobster Bisque with Caviar
The bar is always pleasant and you don't have to "dress" to feel comfortable as you should in the main room.
Gilt CitySeptember 21, 2010French-Mediterranean fare at chef Terrance Brennan’s famed uptown outpost. We say the chicken Kiev is a must-try.
- Happy New Years! Chocolate Royale with Casis Cremeux, and Gold
- Truffle season is here! Try the white truffle risotto.
eric bornemannApril 19, 2021Was a pretty place but slightly overpriced and overrated in its final years.
Katie FlynnJuly 7, 2009Order from the "Tastes of Picholine" menu... same great meal at almost half the price!
Tom🐳 LimongelloOctober 9, 2009OH on the menu: the Wild Scottish Game has a disclaimer (birdshot may be present) !!
