Went there on a date on a weeknight. Lovely ambience, and friendly service. We decided to sit outside because it was a lovely evening. I had a glass of rosé and the grain bowl, which was very good. My companion seemed to enjoy his shrimp appetizer. I would go back to this lovely place. One suggestion would be that they add one and two additional vegan options for appetizer, and or a shared plates. read more

Beautiful indoor space. Vaccination card required for entry. Weirdly placed us super close to other tables. Great cocktails, including a spicy Bloody Mary The pastry basket varies - ours had a chocolate croissant, cheese danish, corn cranberry muffin, almond croissant The chicken and waffles - great flavor, too much waffle The burger - crispy fries, savory bacon, perfectly cooked Spotty service, but food is definitely recommended. Will be back! read more

Came here on a Friday night. Asset has been open my go to list, especially because its asian fusion & sushi. Great vibes and beautiful, modern ambience. Music was a vibe! It was not loud, so it was easy to keep a good conversation without shouting. We have reservations for 7pm. Got there a bit early and we were seated right away. It was not crowded that Friday (I'm guessing because of the thunderstorm). Our waiter Tiffany was very pleasant and was very attentive. We started with a lot of apps; the spicy crispy tuna (which was OK, we've had better), the vegetable dumplings (these were amazing!!), the shrimp toast (didn't enjoy it, wasn't flavorful at all, wouldn't order it again) grilled octopus (was OK, I've had better, the edamame and shishito puree was great! and definitely added to it), the pork satay (Great!!! Was delicious!) For entrees, we had the udon stir fry and added beef, and the lobster fried rice. Both were full of flavor! Not huge portions, which we didn't mind. We definitely enjoyed the apps more and would no doubt be back to try more on the menu. For drinks, I got the lychee island elixir and my friend got sizzling peach. We loved the drinks!!! Loved the strong coconut flavor. I know some people don't, but I think the coconut flavor was just right. I think we got 3 rounds of each Haha. We also got the cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing too! Location is convenient, great Upper West Side spot. I will be back to try more items on the menu, maybe back for their brunch and hope to sit outside on a great summer day. read more

Was walking in the neighborhood after visiting the museum of natural history when we decided to grab an early dinner. Didn't know what to expect but I was completely amazed. From the start with my drink, wild thoughts, I was happy. It wasn't too sweet, didn't taste too much of alcohol and was refreshing. This drink was recommended by the waiter. The waiter who by the way was great. Did not hover but knew to check on the table and refill water. The appetizers I had the garlic shrimp and street corn. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, not overdone, and the crostini along side it was perfectly toasted and made to dip in the sauce. The street corn tasted just like an elote of the cob. Both portions were large for an appetizer. My main course I had the half portion of the Cavatelli. This too was great. The sausage was perfect bite sized pieces, the pasta was cooked exactly how it should be, and it was flavorful. The plating of everything was also off high standards. I don't give out 5 stars often, but ASSET definitely earned it. I will return. read more

Asset is genuinely a hidden treasure. The service exceeded all expectations--my party of 14 experienced such warm hospitality. Gamma was an excellent server. The food was outstanding. I celebrated my birthday in the semi-private wine room, and the atmosphere was stunning. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will definitely return! read more

Service was excellent and the bartender was very attentive. The food was cold and not very tasty.

I stopped by here for drinks and the atmosphere and drinks were really good that I had to give their food a try. Its a decent menu with good quality food that is flavorful, but nothing spectacular. The service is great and so are the bartenders. If I am in the area, I will stop again for pre/post dinner drinks and have dinner somewhere else. read more

Good but pricey food on the Upper West Side Modern, sleek interior A+ upscale ambience for company dinners and date nights I came here for a large dinner with colleagues. The dim light of the restaurant makes for a more intimate setting. The service here was unbeatable. We pre-ordered numerous appetizers including burger sliders, mozzarella sticks, crabcakes, steak & hot dog bites, etc. Their small bites here are the stand-outs; order lots to share. They also have Mains here from which I ordered the Sea Scallops ($39/4 pieces) and Gnocchi pasta ($32). Delicious but definitely overpriced. Drinks: -- Asset red Sangria: their popular signature drink; highly recommend, as do their waiters Their menu is constantly evolving: https://www.assetrestaurant.com/_files/ugd/54a4cd_d80edb600aaa41df94a670e7c981fc89.pdf ASSET is a great place to hold company/fancier dinners. If you're looking to hold dinners here, I recommend pre-ordering numerous appetizers/sliders for your guests. read more

Perfect date night! Impressed by overall look of restaurant. We sat at a 2-person booth which was intimate. We started with the Spanish octopus. This can easily be shared with several people. It's a sizable piece of octopus. I loved the beans it came with. Next was the risotto with chunks of lobster and a mix of veggies. For my main I had the New Bedford sea scallops. There were a lot of different ingredients and flavors to this dish but they of course worked perfectly. This might have been my first time having sunchokes and I enjoyed each way they were cooked. The staff was very attentive and great throughout our entire dining experience. read more

We stumbled onto Asset after a long day of touring around New York. My goodness are we so happy we did. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and chic. It has a beautiful bar area with an upper level seating area as well! We ended up sitting at the bar area. My partner and I ordered drinks and appetizers! My partner ordered an orange wine and I ordered the margarita! We LOVED our drinks and I especially enjoyed mine. It was refreshing! We ordered the Buffalo chicken lollipops and the pigs in a blanket! Both were delicious with major emphasis on the chicken! Unfortunately we missed brunch...and maybe it's because we're from CT but we've never heard of a brunch ending at 5PM before! I was so sad we missed it but SO happy something like that exists in the first place! Typical brunch ends WAY too early on the weekends. Kudos to Asset for seeing that and doing something about it! Overall, Asset was delicious and had amazing energy. The service was tremendous and everything was so clean. Can't wait to come back next time we are in New York!! read more

Loved, loved, and loved. I am a sucker for a good ambiance and this place was it. There are two levels (we sat upstairs on second level), music isn't too loud, crowd was nice and mature, and the food was a hit. I met up to have drink and celebrate a friends birthday and this place did not disappoint. We both were in a chill low key mood so this place was just what we needed. We shared apps and little bites amongst each other and our waitress was just ok. She was attentive but maybe she could. have been a bit more helpful. She suggested a drink I didnt really like but I quickly replaced it with a Tito's Lemon Drop. I would definitely go back. My first thought when I left was, I have to come back. This place is perfect for a date night. We went on a Friday night at 9pm, and surprisingly, it wasn't crowded. read more

Asset is a great spot on the Upper West Side. Not only does it have a very cool vibe/decor, but the food and staff are amazing. I've dined at the bar and also hosted a private event here and everyone that attended raved about the food. Highly recommend for a brunch or a fun night out! read more

Went here for my birthday last night had a reservation there was no hostess in sight to greet us for at least 5 min. They have the nerve to hold your credit card information in case you cancel the reservation. The restaurant had no heating system it felt like we were outside my bf and I ate with our coats on. The food was bad to say the least my filet mignon was very grainy have no idea why, my bf's burger was not cooked well done as ordered. When I asked for it to be returned and to have a new well done burger they brought back out the same burger he bit into just cooked some more. Meaning they put the burger he bit into back onto the grill they cook other guests food on. Unsanitary to say the least. It was an awful dining experience I would never return. They tried with the decor and music but the temperature inside, the service and food was very poor unfortunately. read more

This is one of if not the nicest looking restaurant on the Upper West Side. Beautiful bar and really nice seating areas as well. With the remade Asian Fusion menu the food was quite tasty - loved the Rainbow Roll. It's become a very pricey restaurant though just as everywhere else had to raise their prices. Its super expensive running a restaurant in NYC so I can understand why prices are on the high side. Its such a beautiful restaurant though and so much care and thought have been put into the design so its worth it for the fantastic atmosphere. read more

Disgusting food. Terrible service (oh, I spilled your drink on you? Here's a napkin) and trashy ambiance. Eww.

After starting our Friday night at a bar, we needed food. Probably should've started out with food but you know, what are rules? Lol We headed to Asset which was about a 10min Uber ride from where we were. We got there and was immediately seated as the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. Ambiance: Very industrial chic in there. Loved the vibes I totally want to go back during the day. Drinks: I started off with the Tonys Flower Child which was delicious. My second drink of choice was the Dirty Thoughts. Mezcal is not really my thing because of that liquid smoke taste but because this also had tequila in it as well, it balanced it off perfectly! Food: For appetizers we got the truffle fries and the wagyu pigs in a blanket. The truffle fries were good but I wish they weren't steak fries. Shoestring or even crinkle cut would've worked better. Now...the wagyu in a blanket is the show stopper. The red wine mustard blend...chefs kiss. Also, don't even get me started on the house made ketchup. Bottle that up and sell it, I'd buy. For entree we ordered the rigatoni and shared it. So happy we did because it's a really big portion. The cream based sauce *drools*. I'm not the biggest red sauce fan when it comes to pasta so I enjoy alternatives. We cleaned that bowl...every last drop. I'd certainly come back. read more

Cool atmosphere but the food does not hit the way I hoped it would. Pretty empty on weeknights and too much oil in the sauces.

Had my birthday dinner here on a Sunday night and I think I need to be a regular here. The service was very accommodating and polite. The food came out hot and quick. My friend doesn't eat pork so they put the bacon on the side for our fried rice, how thoughtful! Also provided me with a birthday shot and candles from my cake. The menu is priced very well, have reasonable portions, and tasted delicious. The music was a bit of pop and Afro beats so very current. All in all would recommend and will definitely be back. read more

First and foremost -Out bartender JC and the manager Morgan - were THE best! They took such great care of us. JC took a chance making me a drink with Gin off the top of his mind and boy did it blow my mind. Phew! It was delish! Go in ask for the Morgan special gin and tonic. Thank me later ;) Yellow tail crudo- Excellent presentation, so fresh, so decadent and savory with a kick! ;) Chilean sea bass skewers-what a light and refreshing Asian twist on a pincho! The ambiance is perfect for a date night or meeting up, and the music is perfect for a fun night out. Definitely coming back to Asset. I highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed. Go now! read more

While the Upper West Side never hot it's legs as a dining destination minus the newly closed Leonti- Asset brings some downtown flair uptown. A long bar and some nice touches. Ate: Gratis cheesy focaccia Simply grilled branzino & asparagus $32 Ny friend had the chicken The focaccia was a nice surprise in an age of buy your bread. The branzino & chicken while good were no culinary groundbreakers, but if you're looking for a solid spot no suprises, uptown Asset satisfies. read more

I agree with Molly T.'s point that Asset is very good, very solid - for the UWS. The dining options in this neighborhood tend to play things safe, so on any given menu, you'll find octopus and salmon/tuna tartare, as well as salmon, branzino, and chicken options, all of which will be executed pretty well but with not a lot of margin for excitement. Which is totally fine. They know who their audience is. (Also, I must be the only person in the world left who didn't realize TESSA and ASSET were sister restaurants by dint of their names. D'oh!) That said, I do think Asset excels at the event space - it's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and the decor is sleek and polished. It's too bad that the surroundings are a bunch of empty storefronts but I hope Asset can drive some much needed foot traffic to this stretch of Columbus. I got two rounds of the Westside, with vodka, prosecco, mint, and lemon. Really refreshing, easy to drink. Tried a sip of some sort of spicy drink that wasn't my cup of tea at all, tasted like a mixture of cough syrup and cinnamon. Ordered the deviled eggs as an app and the chopped harvest salad as my main (they also give free toasted focaccia and olive oil). The eggs were a reasonable temperature (it always throws me off when places serve them either too warm or too cold) but could have used some more paprika to balance out the creaminess of the yolk. LOVED the harvest salad - dressing was not heavy at all and a really good mix of ingredients, with generous chunks of feta. Shrimp was a little on the smaller side but what can you do. Food came out quickly. Our waiter was especially patient as we were finishing up a dinner on New Years Eve and didn't rush us at all, coming by often to check and let us know it was last call for food and drinks. A solid four stars. read more

Modern decor with stellar Mediterranean bites and craft cocktails This new restaurant on the Upper West Side is definitely a tonal departure for the standard fare in the neighborhood. Its sister restaurant is Tessa which is Asset in reverse. Decor Industrial, metallic, lighting acents, the location has wide feel with high ceiling. There is a private space on the second floor and there is a large bar downstairs. Our party was served upstairs and there was plenty for our private group. Food From starters to desserts, there was a flair of fun and strong flavors. We started with focaccia bread with oil and chips with hummus. These items were solid starts with a particularly tasty fresh focaccia. The main dishes were salmon, free range chicken and cavateli with fennel sausage. The cavateli was the best of three. The dessert was a unique 15 layer chocolate cake with boozy milkshake and a apple crumble pie with ice cream. Service We had excellent service throughout the whole event and not issues. Overall Definitely, I would like to try more specialty drinks and brunch at this location. It is a good addition to the area. read more

One of my neighborhood go-to's. Great for a good happy hour or a sit down meal. I typically stop here on my way home from work for a drink. The ambiance and vibe are great. Huge plus that they allow my pup to come as well (you just have to sit in a booth and not at the bar). Highly recommend the goat cheese dip, lollipop buffalo chicken or the wagyu pigs in a blanket. Never actually had dinner here but I go all the time for drinks and appetizers! read more

One of my favorite chill spots in the area. Good food, and kind staff. The bar is nice too , to hang out and have some drinks

Food, service, and ambiance were all amazing. Our server, although I didn't catch her name, was so kind.

So cute, 10/10, am for sure going back with other friends! read more

Ambiance and food was great. Service was a bit slow when we went, but we went specifically for the Valentine's drag show.

Asset is a nice restaurant and bar with a cool vibe. The interior was attractive. The food was good but I prefer the food at their sister location, Tessa. We had several small plates including the grilled octopus that was really good, the wagyu pigs in a blanket which were delicious, and a side of fries that were amazing. We had a special of burrata on a bed of fig paste. It was good but the inside was not as creamy as I expected. Cocktails were really good, although they were $18 each. I had a blood orange G&T that tasted like a creamsicle. Service was superlative. The bussers kept our water full and our table clean and were very attentive. Our server Darius was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and took great care of us. read more

Met with family to celebrate an engagement. The restaurant is very sleek, and inviting with a great atmosphere. It has 2 levels with a modern staircase to the upper floor. The food and service were amazing. Our waiter Bruno did not rush us and we received our drinks and food at an appropriate pace. We had plenty of time to enjoy each course. The lobster risotto was out of this world. This is the first time I had ever seen Street corn on a menu and it was delicious. Our crab cake was all crab with very little breading and made to perfection. I ordered the duck breast and it was cooked perfectly( a little pink inside) with the perfect amount of sauce over a purée. The scallops were also cooked perfectly. The bar is beautiful and perfect to meet before or after dinner of just to hang. I highly recommend Asset for the food, service, ambiance and space. read more

Five stars for the SANGRIA. While walking by, we saw a table of 4 each having a glass of this beautiful ruby red sangria and we decided to stop for a glass too. Neither of us are lightweights when it comes to alcohol but man, this is a one and done kind of drink! To be honest it doesn't really taste like wine or most sangrias I'm familiar with. But man, it was strong! There's several different liquors inside and even by the first sip we could feel it hitting. Maybe if you're a sangria purist this is not for you, but for all else who are curious it's worth a try! read more

Highly popular restaurant with sexy date night vibes! Definitely worth a visit on the UWS in NYC. The duck bao and poutine apps were wonderful. I would skip the baked Camembert, as it was more chunky than creamy and not worth the $24. My spouse loved the scallops and would give them 7/10, would be higher but too many competing flavors with the capers and apples. The seasoning on scallops was great. I recommend the spinach- it's creamy, delicious, and comfor read more
