Absolutely LOVED our dinner last night at Florentin. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. Had a bunch of appetizers, including 2 salads, roasted carrots, crispy, artichoke (that was amazing) and fried cheese. For my entrée I had Branzino with broccolini, which was done to perfection. We had three desserts, including a moose, a flourless chocolate cake, and an Israeli version of tiramisu. So delicious. Also giving a shout out to our amazing waitress Emily, who was extremely attentive, smiley and happy to serve our group. Will Absolutely be back. Highly recommend! read more

One of our favorite bartenders landed here and we went to see our Kate on Friday evening and had an amazing meal to boot! The food is quite eclectic and leans Mediterranean but there's definitely something tasty for everyone! Check it out, you'll thank me later! read more

This was a mixed bag of an experience. The service was odd, as for most of our meal we were the only people in the restaurant. Our waiter was no where to be found, and frankly seemed as if he did not want to be bothered. The food was good the risotto was a delicious choice for a vegetarian. My husband enjoyed the schnitzel. Maybe with time they will work through service issues. The look of the restaurant is lovely. read more

Florentin - Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Being a long time patron of Bustan, for nights out with friends, my buddies and I were thrilled to hear that the restaurant group was opening a new restaurant directly across the street. We decided to check it out. Florentin lives up to the hype! The food was high quality and flavorful. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was chic and relaxed. Definitely a great choice for dining out with a romantic interest, family, or with friends. Will definitely come back soon. read more

I had dinner las t night with a friend. We shared the Caesar salad and the pasta with porcini shrooms. Both dishes were outstanding. The wine list is small. However we had a lovely bottle of pinot noir. A shout out to our server, Alexis. She was knowledgeable and charming. The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. I can't wait to go back. read more

Finally! A great addition to the UWS. I had the Branzino which was made without fuss, which I like. The chicken paillard was really good-- the tapenade made the dish a nice play on this traditional dish. We loved the artichokes and carrots. Recommend! read more

Everything was outstanding at Florentin Bistro on the UWS! . I Love this restaurant! Udi the owner is the best! Love the service - Kate and Lorenzo are amazing and make the most fabulous drinks! We just had the most delicious and special seasonal burrata grilled peach salad with truffle oil drizzled on top along with crushed pistachios surrounded by pomegranate seeds. It was out of this world! We also ordered one of my favorites appetizers the crispy artichokes which I often crave and order all the time. Everything on this menu is delicious! Run not walk to this phenomenal restaurant on the upper west side! It is truly a Find! read more

This place is destined for greatness. Having just randomly stopping in for brunch for first time, I was blown away. The food is seasoned so thoughtfully, the menu is diverse, the service is really great - you can tell they like being there. I ended up going back the next day! I am going to be a regular for sure! read more

Florentin is a busy, bustling (noisy) place on a Saturday night, with the vibe of an "in" place. That's fun enough. My branzino was absolutely delicious. As were the fries that we ordered. And that's all I'd go back for. The artichoke appetizer was uninteresting, more of chain restaurant quality than a new, special, "go to" haunt. And the salad of little gem lettuces was really messy to look at (presentation guys, presentation ... eyes are the first thing to taste a dish) and were disappointingly mediocre in flavor, not worth finishing, and I love, love salad. The chicken paillard was tasty, as was the schnitzel. But, again, nothing special. The chocolate cake got mixed reviews -- 2 of us liked it, one among us did not. That was the only dish about wish there was any disagreement among us. And now for the service. I think the front of the house has to get its act together. There is no one thoughtfully perusing tables to see what is needed and coordinate timing. Our entrees came out while our appetizer plates were still on the table -- between the one server balancing the 3 plates and the 3 of us we did manage to make it work. But, come on. Those plates should've been whisked away beforehand. Likewise, when we were done eating, the entree plates were removed one at a time, with the 3rd plate lingering in front of my friend way, way too long. Again, who is paying attention here? I finally had to engage the host to get the plate, though he'd already walked past us at least 2-3 times and not noticed. I will say that my husband was more forgiving of the service than I, so if you care little about service you won't be bothered. Sorry to say that I will stick with my regular spot further south on Amsterdam Ave. Talk to the folks at Salumeria Rosi, they may be game to give you a tip or two about managing the front of the house. read more

Delicious food, and great service. On Saturday night the place was packed! I wish they will do something about the acoustics so people don't need to talk so loudly... read more

this place is great. we had the pleasure of being helped (served a drink) by kate while waiting for a table and served by emily for dinner. the food is exceptional and emily was sooo helpful, kind and sweet. florentin, you're fortunate to have both emily and kate on your side. and as an upper west sider we are fortunate to have this place in our neighborhood. read more

I've been to Florentin several times now with my friends and it doesn't disappoint. I had the crispy artichoke with the tartar for a starter and it was really spot on. Then, I had the risotto for the main course. It's smoked and you could really tell the difference, and its a nice combo with the feta and parmesan. What really impressed us were the desserts. We learned that they are fresh baked. The tirmisu is not to be missed and the chocolate cake was great too. The music and the decor is really chill and fun too. I look forward to going back. read more

It's very hard to find a vegetarian French onion soup and theirs is delicious! The two vegetarian main options were both grain based so I opted to skip them and instead have some vegetable sides as a main dish. The cheese soufflé was not that great. The beets and carrots were good. I had the flourless dark chocolate cake as dessert and it was terrible (a bitter brick). We were given strangely small water glasses. I looked around and other people had somewhat bigger water glasses, but in any case, it was really awkward because I would just take a few steps and it would be empty. It might be nice if they added a jar of water that could be poured in by ourselves since while it is well staffed, the staff is young and tend to congregate together by the bar. Their bread is delicious. However, it needs to be asked for instead of just put on the table. All in all the atmosphere is lovely and the soup was very special. The rest ranged from good to "meh." read more

Very cute neighborhood restaurant. Owner was very nice, server was great and delicious food.
