One of the best meals I've had in a while. We started with the panisse (a long, creamy chickpea fritter) and finochietta (a type of salami), both of which were incredible The panisse was especially memorable, simply because I've never had anything like it -- they were so soft and fluffy, and I could've sworn there was cheese inside, but apparently that's just the creaminess of the chickpea dough. The finochietta was excellent too, though, to the point where I somewhat regretted not getting the finocchio salad. Next was the tagliatelle and the rabbit. Again, both were incredible, but the tagliatelle really stole the show -- one of the best new pastas I've tried in New York in a long time. It almost makes me sad how often they change the menu here, knowing that this might not be available next time around. The rabbit was excellent as well -- it was basically a bowl of de-boned rabbit meat mixed with some outstanding beans. For the mains, we got the sirloin and the guinea hen. I thought the guinea hen was great, but not at the same level of pure amazing-ness as everything else we got. The sirloin, on the other hand, was just incredible, as were the beans it came with. Finally, we got the chocolate cake for dessert, which was basically perfect -- I would cry if this wasn't available next time we come. All in, an amazing first trip, and we can't wait to come back. read more

For years I had wanted to eat at a nice restaurant in the city, but it's just very hard to convince people to do it. Finally I was able to get my mom to go, and we went on Columbus Day when the weather was really nice. I had a lot of choices, but I decided on King per Ryan from Yelp's recommendation. We ended up really enjoying it. The concept at King is very fine food with original recipes, loosely based on Italian and French influences, without any fluff. Everything has a simple, yet elegant refinement to it. If you want a "themed restaurant," then just go to Times Square with all the tourists. King is for people who like fine food. Specifically, I noticed the details in the carving knife they gave us that was made in France, or how the daily specials were printed on thicker, nicer white paper. Both entrees were definitely prepared by a trained chef, and they were more enjoyable than anything I could prepare myself at home. They only prepare a set number of items individually on each day to maintain standards and detail. The wines we ordered were better than the ones we got at the highly rated wine bar afterwards. They were around $15 per glass but were worth it. Often I do not want to get more than the house wine at a restaurant because it will just sit after being opened for another patron days ago. Not here. The dessert was the only thing not worth the price for me. It was ice cream with a espresso poured on top. I enjoyed it, but not enough for $15. Not to sound harsh, but I could have made it easily by myself at home for 50 cents. The service was excellent and attentive. Some of the other reviews mentioned bad service, but I didn't experience that at all. We came for lunch on a holiday, so we had more attention and weren't rushed at all. The experience sitting outside in the cafe was great. So many interesting people with their dogs walk by. read more

Well, we came hungry and certainly left hungry. Definitely expect to pay a lot and get almost nothing. I would have expected that a $49 sea bass would have been remarkable, but it was quite literally the smallest sliver of fish I've ever had. Not to mention that our appetizer never came, yet they charged us for it. The hostess was quite off putting as well. Great space, though! read more

I have really mixed feelings about this place. I really like the ambiance, it is such a cute place with a very modern yet homey feel to it. Food is a little all over place, there were some things I really liked and others I could have done without. For example, the carta di musica was WAY too salty. It was hard to have more than one bite because of the salty flavor left lingering in my mouth. On the other hand, the finochietta was delicious and was the perfect bite. The socca was okay, I thought it could be more flavorful. For my entree, I ordered the papardelle and that was FANTASTIC. All the ingredients tasted fresh and it was absolutely mouth-watering. The service here wasn't the best either. I feel like none of the staff smiled and they all felt very curt when speaking with you. I wouldn't come back on the service alone. read more

King falls short of royalty. The ambiance is typical New York sidewalk cafe. The food disappoints more than it sparkles. What is referred to as the terrace is nothing more than sidewalk with a barrier. Better to get a table in the outside "cabin" and pray that your neighbor isn't a motormouth, which ours was. The service began with a flatbread bathing in olive oil, similar to the Carta di Musica served at Jupiter, a sister restaurant, but nowhere near as good. The pasta appetizer was so-so: too much butter. With the arrival of gem salad and main courses, things improved. Our overall impression, however, was not enough to warrant a return visit. read more

I have never experienced such wonderful service as I have at King. The atmosphere is so cozy and intimate, they did a great job with their outdoor seating. Our group of four came for a birthday dinner, and we were greeted with champagne, and promptly ordered cocktails. We each had a different one, and upon tasting each other's we ooh-ed and ahh-ed over them and all ordered a second round of what the other had. The only two I remember were the Up and At 'Em and the Little Edie; both were fantastic. We asked our server (I can't remember her name but she was wonderful) to bring out a highlight of the restaurant's best dishes. And here I have to take a minute to call out the panisse, which was the best I've ever had and was served with crispy sage. I still dream about that dish. We had various outstanding salads, beef, and pasta. One star deducted because the pork chop we had was still pink in the middle. I know pork is cooked to temperature but it was still off putting and none of our party was comfortable trying it. It was the only aberration in an otherwise perfect meal. We finished with coffee cocktails and the most divine flourless chocolate tort I've ever had. It was so light, so fluffy, I couldn't believe it. Every other flourless chocolate dish I've had is super dense; not so with King's. It was out of this world. read more

Food is like that of going to a friends home who cooks well. Prices aren't. Lived this when it was. Vietnamese restaurant or in the 90s when it was French. Now they always have several apps that are around $30 each and three mains at $50. Very good but they don't trust you can cut your steak and cut it for you. Most annoying is that they have turned the corner into the trailer park of soho. read more

King - Trailer park of soho. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

A great spot with great, simple food and a wonderful wine and spirits list! Also, they have heaters for outdoor dining! Finochietta - this is a wonderful salumi, the fennel really came through and paired well with the wine I ordered (Occhipinti SP68, one of my favorites) this was delicious, although we should have saved some of the delicious crispy rosemary bread to enjoy with it. Scallops - cooked exactly the way I like my scallops and served with a lovely bitter green purée that pairs well with the light char of the scallops. When hit with the lemon, these ingredients really sing together. Ravioli - the best savory dish we had! In fact, after eating the first we quickly ordered a second! Simple autumn flavors of squash, sage, butter and Parmesan, but they are balanced perfectly here! Lombatello - I love a hanger steak, but unfortunately this one could have been seasoned a bit more. All of the were executed well and tasted good but could have used a bit of salt. Tarte tatin for two - easily the best dessert I've had in a LONG time. Very classic tarte tatin served with honey lavender ice cream! It's baked fresh to order, so they ask that you order it at the beginning of your meal. It is incredible, abs could easily serve up to 4 people! Can not wait to go back to King! read more

Going into the evening, I knew full well prices here would be steep and frankly, if you don't check on that kind of thing before you go somewhere in New York City, you're doing yourself a disservice. Have I seen a $40 steak on a menu before? Absolutely. Seafood entrees in the 30s/40s? For sure. Wines by the glass upwards of $25? Ehhhhhhhh. Did things cost a little more than they were worth? Yeah, sure, a bit... but to be fair, I've found it somewhat difficult to find a cost-effective (or at least not cost-crazy) place here that serves food with as magical a taste as at King. For our first time here, we kept it simple with some of the highly recommended dishes: the tagliarini, the lombatello and the scallops. We also ordered a bottle of wine as the glasses themselves (with the prices I mentioned before) just didn't seem worth it. We chose the bottle ourselves so can't give credit to the somm there but he did give us some shopping tips as he poured us our first tastes which was appreciated. As for food, it was a toss up what was our favorite. The pasta was hot and steamy, cooked to perfect with a creamy delicious sauce and little chunks of walnuts still in there. Amazing. The steak was, as expected, perfectly cooked (medium rare) and served with a delicious anchovy butter and perfectly charred asparagus. To be honest, I could have done without the lentils and a bit more asparagus. Lastly, the scallops, which were the only risk I took in our selections, were also cooked perfectly and served over the most delicious bed of smashed borlotti beans. The nutty arugula complemented it well as did the olive tapenade, though I'll admit it started tasting a bit salty by the last bite. We finished with a rhubarb ice cream and the risotto cake which our server brought to us with a lit candle for my partners birthday which was very kind. Very much enjoyed both desserts! Overall I was impressed with the food and the ambiance, no complaints about the service and only an expected observation of the cost. We sat outdoors which was fine for awhile but got rather chilly towards the end. I didn't realize they had blankets until the folks next to us got up and left but it was too late to inquire at that point. The entrees also got colder much quicker which was a bit unfortunate - almost rather would've had one out at a time since we were sharing but oh well! Go to king. Eat well. Celebrate something. Pay the bill. Don't look back. read more

I have been to King many times and each time is a total joy! With an ever changing menu, the chefs at King are constantly innovating and delighting on the plate. Get a bottle of the Bandol rose and start off with the panisse. Whatever pasta they are serving that day, get it! You truly can't go wrong at King as all their dishes are composed of the highest quality ingredients and it shows! King was the first restaurant I ate out in since COVID lockdowns and I felt extremely safe. The staff is knowledgeable and lovely. Just wonderful nights to be had at King. Go here! read more

King - Carta di musica with anchovies and butter - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Nice location and ambience (great for date night). Food was decent and service wasn't bad either. But they rounded up their tip. I wrote a flat $200 total, they charged me $200.93. It's not a big deal but it's annoying and shows either carelessness or a lack of character on the part of the person entering it in. They were nice and responsible enough to keep my credit secure after I left it at the restaurant. But then when I went to pick it up, the manager/owner(?) happily went and got it for me, but then the receptionist felt the need to be snarky with me and give me attitude for not coming to pick it up soon enough. I was busy with work, what's it to you... read more

Really, really good restaurant. Glad we went. It might take some luck getting a reservation.

Food is fine, not overwhelming, but way overpriced for what it is. The service was terrible. My friend, who got there early, ordered a bottle of wine and asked for an recommendation. I got there a bit later and took a sip and, based on what I tasted, figured he ordered the cheapest wine on the menu. Makes sense because even the cheapest wines can add up quickly. When we got the bill the wine was $120 a bottle. We were with five people and ordered two drinks, two bottles of wine, an entree each and we shared three appetizers and two desserts. We ended up spending $150 each on an okay dinner. I recommend you make your reservations elsewhere. PS This the very first time I have posted a review. The experience was too disappointing not to do anything about it. read more

Stick with the pasta's. Nice setting and hurried service the apps were very good a rabbit and bean dish with very clean flavors and a pasta dish with fresh pasta and a parm cream sauce. My fish was not great, over cooked, the ball of cooked spinach had no flavor and the preserved lemon and lentil did not pair well. Better places in Soho. read more

Really bad evening. Went by myself, didn't seem too busy. I was seated right away. Waited for water for 15 min. Ordered the sirloin, they didn't ask how I wanted it cooked. It was fine. Not worth $48. For dessert I got the tart with a glass of brandy and a shot of espresso (never got the espresso). I've never not tipped. Ever. I did tonight. read more

I love this place! The menu is small but has something for everyone. If you don't see something that works for you, the kitchen/server will do their best to accommodate you. The portion sizes are the right sizes! Not too small where you still feel hungry but large enough to allow your dining companion to have one small bite! Nothing is over-sauced allowing the food and ingredients to shine The menu changes daily so I can't wait to go back to see what else is in store. My one tiny negative was that I felt the vegetables were a little too stewed but it might just be what happens with more watery summer vegetables like tomatoes and squash. read more

Amazing menu. Very elevated cuisine with a refined laid back touch. During our trip to NY we made this place a must on our list and it exceeded our expectations. read more

Food was fantastic, service was less than so. For a Friday night - 8:45pm reservation, we were seated 30 minutes later at 9:15pm on a night when temperatures were 39 and windy. At no point did the hostesses come outside to update us. Rather, We inquired twice about our table (why it was taking so long) and at the second time, one of the the hostess spoke in a curt tone as if we were giving HER trouble for a delayed table. We also asked to order our drinks while we were waiting then, but upon taking our order, we didn't even receive them until we were seated - which defeated the purpose. If you're a restaurant that uses a booking/reservation system such as Resy, and you hold the right to charge customers for not showing, then show the same courtesy by respecting the reservation time of the customers. Simply urge the before party that the next party is here and waiting :) instead of waiting for them to leave, wasting the time and experience of the next party. read more

King is such a cozy place with homestyle cooking that I want to come back again and again. What stands out is the quality of ingredients, and how all other elements in a dish play supporting role to make the central ingredient shine. I went there about a month ago with a foodie coworker of mine and his friends. Fortunately, one of those people turned out to be a known name in the Wine circles of the city (call him Mr. L), and kudos to him we got great wine pairings with the dishes. To keep things simple we ordered the full menu :p Here are the highlights: Appetizers ----- Panisse- fine dining makeover of a forgotten french street food. Fried chickpea flour that's light as cloud, salt sprinkled on top, fried sage leaves. Loved it. Endive salad- excuisite. Really flavorful endives, we ordered another. Mashed pumpkin/squash- only weak dish. The gourd was flavorful, but lacked spices and seasoning. Nutmeg and/or herb oil and some salt, and this would be a winner. Mains ----- I only remember a baked whole fish, a rabbit and a duck dish. I loved the duck dish, especially with the pairing with cauliflower. Fish was fresh and cooked well, but lacked salt. Dessert --- The persimmon pudding was light and creamy- it reminded a co-diner of mine her grandmother's version. Chocolate tart was good- but a bit too doughy and heavy for me. However, the star of the show was the balsamic poached pears that the chef specially brought out for us- because of her acquaintance with Mr. L and my colleague. This was divine by itself, but tasted out of the frickin world with the chartreuse I ordered. Chef, if you chance across this review, please put them in the main menu when pears are in season! Overall, a very enjoyable meal. The place is cozy, the lighting just right, the hospitality is really good, and the food is comforting. Would make a great date night spot. read more

This is my fourth time dining at King and I have never once been disappointed. Though the menu is small, there is a 99% chance any one of the menu items will be absolutely wonderful. Seriously, you could pick your meal by flipping a coin because there is never a bad option. The menu changes daily (hence why I did not take any pictures this time) so each dining experience here will be unique. That being said, the Panisse and Chocolate Cake are constant menu items that you MUST try. The downside is the price. King is very expensive but you do get what you pay for! Another slight concern is that one of the outdoor dining structures is right over a subway grate which is loud and smelly - not an ideal setting for a very expensive meal. We asked to switch tables and our waiter was very accommodating. If you make a reservation, I recommend that you ASK FOR A TABLE AWAY FROM THE SUBWAY GRATE! read more

I would not recommend dining at King unless you want to get scammed. The food was lovely and I enjoyed my experience until the check came. We ordered a $65 bottle of barbera wine and said if they didn't have that in stock we would take the next bottle up which was $90. We were shocked when the bill came and there was a $185 bottle of wine on the check. The manager refused to correct their wrong and told us we "accepted" the bottle when served to us. To say I was disappointed is a an understatement. read more

Made a reservation for two. Moved the time back, and they were very accommodating- explained that we were with a friend who was going through some stuff (his dad passed). Ultimately needed to cancel and did so through the app and got CHARGED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a two person cancellation. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON A SUNDAY. They didn't have anyone else coming in so they just charged my card. For their inconvenience. Sorry. No food is that good. read more

Customer service is horrible. No consideration for extenuating circumstances and charged a $100 cancellation fee. Will never go there now.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent meal at King; I liked the food, the service, and the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu changes daily and consists of about six starters and three mains, so if you are in anyway a picky eater you may not find something that speaks to you on the menu. I confess I had to google about 40% of the menu to figure out what everything was. The starter flat bread was delicious, but I did wish I had a bit of ricotta on the side to spread over it. I asked for an entree sized portion of the ravioli in sage butter sauce and enjoyed it very much. Service was warm and attentive, I would definitely go back. read more

Do not get the chargrilled lombatello unless you want to pay $40 for a half undercooked half burnt steak with watery lentils and god awful tasting eggplant. I wasn't aware lentils and egg plants were something one could fuck up, but yes they did. If you cannot cook the lentils they sell them precooked in TJ one parallel below, serve them? The steak was chewy in some parts and burnt in others which is a talent I guess (one that we could not stomach) to cook bc I am unsure how its possible. They didn't ask us how we wanted our steaks and I guess tried to do both???! Honestly the whole experience and everything on our plate was so subpar that I felt embarrassed I suggested this restaurant to meet w my friend. I told the busboy, indicating how parts were black and parts were bloody / chewy. We both ordered the same dish, bc what kind of place screws up a steak? This place!! The busboy asked if we wanted it to go.. No dude we didn't eat it bc my cooking looks like a michelin star chefs cooking compared to what we were served here. I am not the best cook but even my first attempt at a steak was better than this. I do not get it, I asked the server who is basically now only a deliverer of foods bc you order everything after scanning the QR code and put in your credit card paying for your food even before you taste it? Why was I charged a 20% service fee? Not only did I not eat the food after not eating since breakfast (I was hangry and looking forward to eating out for the first time since March), but also I was lied to by the server. If a customer asks you what you recommend and you don't respond and then the customer asks about the steak and you say you definitely recommend why did I get this subpar dish? But if you make it an issue you're the bitch. I am sorry you do not deserve neither the tip nor the food charge. Basically a waste of 70 USD accompanied with subpar cranky waiters.. money doesn't go on trees people, actually I am sure if I ate the cash amount it would've tasted better.. read more

This place was recommended for date night and it is certainly pretty but the place is rather busy even on weeknights. The food is good but the menu limited, and watch out for the prices, a glass of coke set me back $6. Unique items are on the menu though and it was nice to try a rib eye on top of rosemary branches. Staff is friendly and proficient. The steak was brought to my table hot which I truly appreciate. read more

We loved King. Our visit was for a celebratory dinner. Our grammy is turning 95 and we wanted simple, wow and wonderful. King delivered. We loved the open kitchen. We loved the bright and lively vibe. We loved the hostess who gave us an amazing corner table. The place was bustling but we were cozy in our corner. There are a few amazing selections, all creative. Loved our choice, lovely Snapper. My daughter loved her beef dish. The star of the night was the dessert. We chose a Carmel Semifreddo. It came with a candle and a comp dessert to share; shortbread cake with a lovely cream custart and a pine nut topping. I think they called it Torte de Nonna? Both desserts were sublime. I believe they both may rank in the top 10 of my lifetime. Two off points; the chefs ate from their hands the entire meal. I understand tasting as you cook but it was more than that and rather odd to watch. Secondly, our server, who was wonderful, did not know that Snapper was a warm water fish and did not know the origin. With such a small yet stellar menu, it's best to know the details on each item, IMHO. Much appreciation for making Grammy's nite nothing short of wonderful!! read more

Just got out of a sad experience. Staff at the beginning were lovely and welcoming, got seated inside which was beyond let's say cozy. You will literally touch the people seated next to you since there's no space. We ordered wine$20 a pop but the serving a shared small carafe that's usually associated with one glass vs two at most restaurants. The cracking bread was good but soaked with oil which made it very difficult to eat without soaking your hands. Now let's discuss the real food. The panisse was great and maybe the star of the evening. The ox tongue was flavorless and boring. The ravioli was excellent. Then came a long 35min wait for the mains. I had specifically asked how tender will the pork chops be and was told assuredly that's it's super tender. And after a very very long wait the food arrived and behold not only was it cold it was super tough to eat. I wonder if the food was sitting for a while before they served it ( the place wasn't that full). The other main, the sirloin, was blah and the polenta was fully congealed which is disgusting . Btw during all of this we never saw our waitress again and were never asked how's the food or anything. So our option is to actively say something or just be nice. Damnit I was nice. At the stage we suddenly had a new waitress, no introduction or anything and since it was a birthday dinner, we had to get something since that's the law lol. The desserts were not bad actually we got one of each of the two options. Asked for the bill, with the tip $300 for two people. Would never go back again. read more

Happy to have visited King during my stay in NYC. The menu changes every day, and my judgement is only based on one sample size. We had impeccable service, thoughtfully crafted foods, but underwhelmimg dessert. It's like they didn't think the dessert was an important part of the meal or something! We got the chocolate cake, but it was more like brownie and not a special one -- one I could probably bake myself at home. Amd they also gave sour cream in place of whip?? Were they just too lazy to whip up heavy cream? Who does that?? The other dessert menu items all seemed pretty low effort: sorbets and ice creams. Disappointed we wern't able to end our meal on a high note. The main dishes were pretty good. I especially enjoyed pork chop especially. I can't help but notice some of the laziness though. Like reusing the same vegetables between the salad and the pork chop. I don't know if it's because they have the pressure of changing the menu every day or what. King just lacked the creativity and effort that I was looking for. They have "cabins" on Resy, which actually is just a closed off outdoor seating area with some heating. Don't come expecting a secluded, quiet place since it is shared amongst 6 partoes and is located right next to the main street. I would recommend indoor seating, as it is warmer, more private and romantic. read more

Well this is a cute little spot across the street from another little spot, I really like, Charley Bird. While I enjoyed this place, I was hoping for just a touch more. High hopes with a remarkable start. The Gnudi was melt in your mouth delicious, surrounded by shaved spinach and Parmesan. With this as a base, I was a touch disappointed with the Pork Chop. It was not the preparation, but instead the cut. The pork had more grain and string than I expected. A better cut and this HUGE piece of meat would have been miles better. The sides of red wine cabbage and bean were interesting. This micro area of New York is loaded with fun spots and tasty treats. King can be one of those with only a touch more attention to the raw materials. read more

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose experience fell short of expectations at King. I have a friend who swears by it for dinners with her fancy native-New Yorker relatives, and coupled with the Pete Wells cosign, it was enough for me to book it for my long weekend date night. The Labor Day timing was lucky, as I've had trouble in the past reserving less than a week out, but a few days was all I needed for a 7:45 Monday slot. The sidewalk seating and front room were packed, and we were led toward a mostly-deserted back room. The decor is basic but elegant, with lots of cream chairs and simple tablecloths. Music was quiet. The menus are short and sweet. There are about 5 cocktails on offer, most leaning on aperitifs. There are maybe 4 starters and only 3 entrees. We both got cocktails, which were strong and tasty. We decided to split the lobster to start. We did fish and steak for the mains. The lobster came out about 15 minutes after we ordered and was cooked perfectly. The lightly cooked tomato was not a great match, though, and there was far too much of it on the plate. The steak was a bit tough, though it had a good flavor. I didn't love the beans on the side either. There was quite a lot of oil on the plate, and the arugula didn't mesh well either the meat or the beans. The fish was tastier, with a side of fennel and roasted potatoes. This combination worked much better. Unfortunately, it was completely doused in olive oil. The price for what you get is a bit silly. $38 for fish and $40something for steak. They were high quality, but not exceptionally complicated dishes. I know that the food is practically decoupled from the price in NYC, but I felt like we could make this ourselves. It's sophisticated enough that you don't feel ripped off, but it's nothing new. The ambiance is good, but not sexy. It's dinner with the parents, not dinner date. Service is very professional and the bathrooms are nice. The food just isn't special enough for me. If I was taken here, I would have no regrets, but I can't say that this goes on my repeat visit list. read more

King at king street I came here for dinner with my friend without a reservation on Tuesday night. This place was so packed there was a waiting list for sitting by the bar. We gave up and went somewhere else. Ever since I've been wanting to come here to find out why so popular. Luckily they open lunch as well and it's not as busy. I took my chance and walked in without a reservation again. Fortunately there are few tables available and I was lucky to sit in the only private booth which facing the kitchen. (One of the good things about dining alone) They have huge wine list and small menu (approx 10 items) but it changes daily. As I was waiting for my food, I was watching the staff working and noticed only women working in the kitchen. If you have something against women being chefs in a restaurant kitchen, please skip this place. So here's my appetizer comes Scallops with seaweed and bortoga - scallops are fresh and were cooked perfectly. But the butter sauce made it a bit too rich and slightly overpowering the freshness of the scallops. Lombatello with baked beans and water crest salad dressed with mustard dressing. Hanger steak cooked in medium to medium rare. Well seasoned. The beans were good. I wish they chopped the water crest. I will go back to try their dinner menu. read more

I had some time on my hands and decided to stop by King for lunch. I tried two cocktails and the Lombatello. Lombatello is a hanger steak. I got mine medium rare. It was tender, with moderate chewiness. Beef seemed to have a fresh quality and flavor. Some bitterness from the charred crust. Minimal salt pepper seasoning. The rainbow beets and swiss chard were the perfect accompaniments. Beets were sweet and earthy, very soft texture. Chard was cooked until tender, and absorbed the flavor of a parmesan and oil drizzle. A simple but elegant low-key lunch. The first cocktail I got was the "L'Argent de Poche." Potent salt-lime flavor. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Dry and sour finish from the lime. The ingredient that made me order this was the "Rhum Agricole," but there was not much of a rum flavor here. But, still a good cocktail to sip on. The second cocktail is "Pierrot Le Fou." Peach and Hop complexity. Subtle lemon sourness. This IPA and lemon concoction was interesting and refreshing. I had a delightful lunch at King and give a solid recommendation. read more

I'm a bit disappointed in the service my boss received. He came here for dinner and forgot his wallet. they wanted to charge a service charge plus postage(I don't mind paying for that) but a $15.00 service charge? After several follow ups with no response(also asking to remove the service charge, considering we spend $350 there) they finally responded and didn't even mention was what charged. We got the wallet back, but some cash was definitely missing( not a lot, but that's not the point) I completely understand they are accommodating us, but when it comes to a person's important belongings, I always ensure to get that taken care for my own customers. It's the right thing to do plus shows your customer service is top priority. read more

A little fame has shown some serious flaws in this restaurant. Let me begin by stating I have NO issues with the excellent food, and if a restaurant we're only about the food, this review would not be necessary; however the service, while not inept, is, frankly, downright nasty. It starts with the hostess ("ice princess 1"). We had a reservation , made more than 3 weeks ahead of time. We were not interested in sitting outside. So we were offered a table that abutted the door, or one in front of the restroom. Talk about a Hobson's Choice. We should have left. Instead, my partner got bumped throughout the night. We were offered water by our server Fiona ( " ice princess 2"), who then disappeared for 20 minutes. No drink order, nothing. Guess we were the wrong demographic. Twenty minutes later, ice princess 2 comes back for our food order. No question about drinks. She was REALLY put out when we wanted cocktails. But we got them. And she disappeared again. Finally, we got a food order in. It may have been that someone recognized something was wrong, because the food came quickly. Then, dirty plates sat there for 30 minutes, while ice princess 2 discussed running with another table. Ice Princess 2 also did not pick up. "Please , we just want to leave." Neither did Ice Princess 1. She was not at all interested in engaging two clearly unhappy customers - who may very well not be back. We felt we got crummy service, but we tipped 20% to the penny, First time I've done that in 35 years of eating out. I guess if you're young and pretty, you'll get good service. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot. Is good food enough, or do you need good service? You've been warned. read more

Everything was good. The menu changes daily and you can only only choose from roughly 10 items. The food was delicious. The pasta and scallops were delicious. Would recommend coming here if you like trying new things and like meat/fish. Pictured is the pork chop and scallops. read more

Stay away, a TV dinner would be better. What we thought would be wonderful was a disaster !! Trout, which was Salmon, the taste was deplorable, first came to table raw.. after sending it back I realized I was eating frozen Salmon. Little potatoes where out of a can ... trust me, in my 70 + year I know a canned potato...the waiter came over and poured water into my husbands Scotch glass.... I did enjoy my glass of wine. After paying $8.00 for a cup of tea, indigestion and mega bucks, can't say anything positive . read more

I came here with a couple of girlfriends. We ordered one of everything on the menu. It is a small place but with large windows that make it feel very bright. The menu is also small and specific. It only didn't get 5 stars because we were seated near the kitchen and it was very hot. We loved the specialty bread with the egg. The salad with white beans was great and the chicken was cooked very well. I wasn't crazy about the fish but don't care for that particular kind. We also had the olive oil cake for dessert which was great. The restaurant was not very busy while we were there. We were able to comfortably sit and enjoy our time. The waiter was great continually checking in and keeping water glasses filled. We also had a celebrity sighting here but I won't say who! read more
