    Chocolates & Petit Four

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 Disclaimer: This review has been sitting in my drafts for many years, so take it for what it's worth. I was looking forward to finally trying this restaurant, but honestly it didn't live up to expectations. Not that it was bad, just not all that memorable, which should never be the case when you pay the type of prices these meals cost. The only dishes that really stood out was the Smoked Eel Velouté. The Siberian Sturgeon Caviar and Seared Sullivan County Foie Gras were excellent, but can you really go that wrong with these incredible ingredients? Most of the other dishes were decent, but nothing I will remember in a few weeks. Service was fine but felt a bit cold, as does the space. Honestly, I was never really comfortable the whole time I was there. Everything was just not bad, but that's not what I was looking for.

    My sister took me here for a birthday lunch, and it was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. Everything was perfect -- from the beautiful room to the attentive and welcoming staff to the birthday card placed on the table from Gabriel Kreuther, and the delicious lemony birthday dessert. Everything we ate was incredible, and so beautifully and artistically arranged. (Don't miss the foie gras as an appetizer and the duck as a main course.) The little "extras" (amuse- bouche, chocolates, miniature pretzel rolls between courses, etc.) were also so interestingly prepared and absolutely delicious. (And thank you, Carlos, for the macarons!) I can't wait to return here again!

    Chocolate Soufflé Tarte
    CiCi C.

    Perfect place for special occasions. Location: Street level of Grace building across from Bryant Park. Ambience: high ceilings, spacious, simple elegance. Separate round bar area in front. Main dining room separated by architectural elements. Definitely 2 Michelin Stars decor vibe. Most of the crowd were either groups of business men in suits for business dinner or couples, likely for special occasions. Service: Attentive, team service. Food: Alsace-French food. Alsacian tartes are a specialty. We got mushroom with added truffles ($85 add on), Crispy thin crust and earthy mushrooms. Tasty but not sure the truffle added that much to the flavors in this case. Smoked sturgeon tarte with caviar was stellar, such a delicate flavor. The foie terrine was highest quality and so creamy and the accompaniments were the perfect pairing. For entree, we had duck and squab. The duck was good sized in portion, juicy and exceptional flavor. For me, the squab was just ok. I like my squab with a crispier skin and more of the fat rendered. The trade is the meat is very tender and juicy inside. Dessert: delicate and tasty overall. Not overly sweet. We had 3 and they were all excellent. The chocolate soufflé Tarte was beautiful as well with signature crane design on top. I enjoyed the meal but nothing I crave daily, so this is probably going to be a special occasions kind of place for me (price point and time commitment). Definitely recommend for business dinner or special occasions.

    Came for an anniversary dinner and was absolutely blown away. Every team member ensured every detail of our night was absolutely perfect. Everything we ate was to die for, from the tasting menu items to the amuse bouche. Months later we are still reminiscing over a little white chocolate cube filled with passionfruit that started off our journey at Gabriel Kreuther. The sommelier made sure we could find a bottle that could complement our different meals that was within our budget. Not a dull moment during this experience, definitely a splurge but beyond worth it.

    Went to Gabriel to celebrate my husband's birthday, and we absolutely loved it! Getting a reservation for a reasonable time on a Friday was surprisingly easy -- a rare win for a Michelin-starred spot. What really stood out to me was the flexibility of the menu. There were options for different dining styles and price points, which I wish more fine dining restaurants would offer. Whether you're going all-in or keeping it a bit more low-key, there's something for everyone. The space itself is beautiful, and the staff struck the perfect balance of kind, funny, and attentive. They made the night feel special without being overly formal. We chose the blind chef's tasting menu, and while it was a lot of food for me, everything was absolutely delicious. Highlights included the La Belle Foie Gras Terrine, Citrus-Cured Long Island Fluke Crudo, Sturgeon & Sauerkraut Tart, Squid Ink Orecchiette, Red Wine Marinated Golden Bass and Hay-Smoked, Two-Week Aged Hudson Valley Duck Breast -- each dish more memorable than the last. And yes, A LOT of food. We paired our meal with cocktails (all hits, no misses), and the desserts were truly out of this world. If you go, do not skip the chocolate -- you'll thank yourself later. All in all, we had a fantastic time. It was the perfect place for a celebration, and I'd return in a heartbeat.

    I had been looking forward to trying Gabriel Kreuther, and while there were definitely some great moments, the overall experience felt a bit underwhelming given the hype and price. We started off with bread that was soft and garlicky almost like a brioche which I really liked. It came with this green spread that had a sour cream or mayo flavor (still not sure exactly what it was), but it was actually really tasty. Then came the amuse-bouche, which included eggplant puffs--crispy on the outside, flavorful inside. There was also a mini beef tartare sandwich, which wasn't really my thing, and oysters, which were good but nothing super memorable. For the first course, I ordered the foie gras, which sadly just didn't hit. I've definitely had better this one came with a jelly-like side that just felt like fancy Jell-O, and the brioche bread it came with wasn't as buttery or soft as I prefer. The person I was with got the tuna, though, and I tried a bite it was flavorful, soft, and way better than my dish. Later they brought out warm sourdough rolls with honey-butter, and the bread was steaming hot so the butter melted perfectly honestly one of the highlights. For my main, I had the sea bass, and it was okay. Not bad, just not amazing. It came topped with relish, peppers, and pickles, which I personally didn't love it felt like they clashed with the delicate fish so I picked them off. The sauce was fine but kind of overwhelmed the fish, and I wish it had been served on the side. For the price, it just didn't wow me. Overall, the restaurant had some great components (the bread and butter combo, and the tuna), but for the cost, I expected more consistency and flavor across the board. It's a beautiful spot and the service is polished, but I probably wouldn't rush back.

    Gabriel Kreuther, a 2 Michelin star restaurant, delivers an exceptional meal and service in such a convenient location across from Bryant park. Reservations are quite easy to book across a range of times and parties. The dining room is quite large with ample space between tables and wasn't noisy at all. I did find the plush booth seat to be quite far back though in terms of leaning back. The staff were immediately attentive, warm and engaging and they operated like a well-choreographed team. For dinner options, you can select a 3- or 4- course meal or chef's tasting menu (though I assume smaller portions) with menu available online. Two wine pairing options are also available in addition to a book of drink (wine) options. I opted for the chef's tasting menu - unfortunately I lost track/didn't keep down details of every dish and I wasn't given a menu copy. The highlights were the duck, sturgeon caviar tart, Long Island fluke. The foie gras was good and had an interesting presentation, like something out of the MoMA. The duck was excellently cooked with a lot of flavor and the caviar tart had just strong, powerful bites. Overall though I found the course to be well-polished but little to stand out. The service was fantastic and wine pairing complimented each dish well. I think it's a good value for the dishes and especially for a two-Michelin star restaurant. The tasting menu had a solid baseline but not a high ceiling with the best dishes, for instance comparing to the langoustine at Aska or tuna/salmon at Le Bernardin, having that "knockout" dish for me but still an excellent meal!

    (if only Yelp would let us give more!) Dining at the Chef's Table at Gabriel Kreuther isn't just a meal, it's a transcendent experience. From the moment we sat down, we were transported into a culinary journey where time seemed to stand still. What started at 7:15 PM gently unfolded until 10:45 PM, yet it felt like only moments had passed. That's the magic of this place. The evening began with the Chef himself graciously sharing his life story--a personal and rare moment of connection that set the tone for what was to come. Each course, and there were many (so many!), was a masterpiece. Visually stunning, technically perfect, and layered with intense, unforgettable flavors in every bite. It was almost too much to eat, but every morsel was too special to waste. What truly elevates this above even the most elite tasting experiences is the team of chefs--each of whom took time to walk us through the ingredients, techniques, and inspiration behind every dish. Their passion was palpable, their hospitality unmatched. Sitting at the Chef's Table is dinner and a show--but not in the traditional sense. It's an immersive, intimate glimpse into the soul of a kitchen in motion, orchestrated with precision and grace. Watching the culinary story unfold before us, we felt more like privileged guests than diners. Gabriel Kreuther's Chef's Table is where artistry, storytelling, and world-class cuisine converge. If I could give this infinity stars, I would.

    This place l've been dying to try to eat for over a year since I discovered it on social media. It also took me a mini Ute to write this review as I forgot I had the photos with busy life. I was not disappointed a bit. In fact this was probably one of the best meals l've ever had. And all I do is travel and eat at the best restaurants in the world, and this is definitely in my top 5 restaurants I love! Every single dish I had just blew my mind, jaw dropping and just wow. Service was amazing as expected. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Decor was modern and beautiful. Didn't feel pretentious at all. Just soothing. Over all, can't wait to come back!

    the Cashew and Wild Mushroom Pate with Ossetra caviar
    Liudmila K.

    This week, I had the pleasure of dining at Gabriel Kreuther to celebrate my birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the service was on point--attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. Everyone, from reception to our servers, congratulated us, and we even received a personally signed card from the chef, which made the night extra special. We opted for their 4-course prix fixe menu. Since our selected wine wasn't ready, we were offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to start. Throughout the meal, amuse-bouches between courses added delightful surprises, making the experience even more exciting. First course * La Belle Foie Gras Terrine - delicious start, paired with pistachio, wild rice streusel, and marble brioche. The foie gras was smooth and rich. * Cashew & Wild Mushroom Pâté with Ossetra Caviar - one of my favorites! The earthy mushroom flavors paired beautifully with the salty caviar. Mid course * Sturgeon & Sauerkraut Tart - a GK's signature dish, and I see why! The imperial kaluga caviar and applewood smoke took it to another level. Every bite was incredible. * Gewürztraminer Poached Sullivan County Foie Gras - served with quince consommé, artichoke, and ginger froth, and it had a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Entree * Hay-Smoked Two-Week Aged Hudson Valley Duck Breast - was perfectly cooked, tender, smoky, and packed with rich flavors of blistered cranberries, parsnip cream, and sweet potato. * Spiced Red Venison Loin - cooked very well, the slight sweetness of the cranberries complements the dish beautifully. Dessert * Chestnut Mont Blanc with Vanilla Cake - light, airy, and delicious. * Chocolate Tart Soufflé - I only had a bite since I'm not a chocolate fan, but my boyfriend loved it. Additionally, I received a special complimentary dessert with a personalized congratulatory message--such a lovely touch! This was easily one of the best fine dining experiences of my life. If you're looking for an exceptional meal in an elegant setting, Gabriel Kreuther is a must-visit--perfect for any special occasion!

    These appetizers from the chef were so tasty.

    My soulmate and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary at this beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere was so elegant, but not too stuffy. We noticed a few customers did not wear a suit jacket. The service was impeccable. Always so attentive - our water glasses were hardly ever empty. The servers also explained each course as they were coming out. Most importantly, the food was amazing. We enjoyed every item, even the buttery bread. We will be back for more!

    Nicely spread out tables, hushed atmosphere while still being comfortable. Whatever you do, order the chocolate souffle..... I'm sure the other deserts are great... But nothing is going to be better than the chocolate souffle. I think the waitress thinks I'm joking that I'm coming back tomorrow night just for coffee, glass of wine and the chocolate souffle.

    I haven't eaten in a Michelin restaurant in so long. I truly enjoyed everything I ate at Gabriel Kreuther. Jesus was our waiter but everyone in the restaurant works together. I loved that they have us extras like kombucha, tequila, chocolate. We all ordered from the 3 course price fixed many. I ordered the tuna for my appetizer and the trout for my entree and your pizzelle for my dessert. We also ordered two bottles of wine and that was delicious as well. The service was immaculate and the ambience spectacular. Sometimes you have to treat yourself to a wonderful meal.

    Gabriel Kreuther Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Gabriel Kreuther

    Do they still give out personalized menu?

    We didn't get one. Overall, straightforward with no vibe.

    Do you think the restaurant is kid (1year old) friendly and the atmosphere too quiet or noisy enough to bring a baby?

    Regrettably, not recommended for this upscale restaurant

    What is the dress code?

    We were looking forward to dressing up and noticed it is quintessential nyc - with "men" in sports coats / jackets or at least a nice button downs - I didn't see jeans / flip flops / etc. This was also for dinner :) enjoy !!

    Is there indoor seating ? The website appears to be down atm.

    Yes, I was there recently and they did a great job with spacing with regard to COVID restrictions indoors.

    Those of you who've done recent outdoor dining, is there a roof covering for rain? And what is dress code for outdoor patio?

    Yes, there's roof covering, and heating lamps overhead as well. I am not aware of any dress code. It was pretty code, most people including us just kept our coats on.

    Do you have to pre-pay for the tasting menu?

    Pre-payment for our tasting menus is not necessary. You may contact our reservations team directly at (212) 257-5826 to make your reservation or even walk-in without the need to pay in advance. Have a good day!

    Is tip included in Carte Blanche price?

    Good afternoon Stacey, Thank you so much for your kind inquiry!… Read more

    How many hours does a 6 course tasting menu take?

    Good afternoon, Thank you so much for reaching out!… Read more

    Can the chef make modifications for someone who is pregnant (no raw fish/meat/eggs, no unpasteurized dairy)?

    Ask. It I think yes. I am a vegetarian. Are with kosher bf. Both of us were accommodated beautifully. Be clear when u reserve.

    What is the dress code?

    I would say business casual or business formal is fine. No jeans or any street wear.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

Ravioli- This is a light, seasonal dish with pumpkin, brown butter, and sage. The sauce complements the sweet pumpkin and the brown butter adds a nuttiness.

(How are all of these people living so high on the hog, without a care in the world?!) We were escorted off to a little tucked-away enclave near the back, but the restaurant was just too boisterous and we had to shout just to talk to people at the other end of the table.

Our table dabbled all over the place and for the most part everyone really enjoyed their meals. The food they're knocking out is legit, for sure. But the bill came out to over $60 a person (including the tip, but we didn't have apps or dessert and half of us just had water), which hurts when you're a cheap-o like myself. Our waitress was awesome (and she didn't even seem fazed when I tried to rattle her that we were going to split the check onto nine different credit cards... but we only used one). And Bryant Park (right across the street) was the perfect nightcap on a lovely spring evening.
