Great concept, poor venue, OK execution. Food: The food was OK, not spectacular. For the price point of each ticket, I expected more. What we received was equivalent to standard hotel room service. Service: Our server was friendly and stayed in character the entire performance/ meal. He was slow with beverages and the pre-fixe was a bit inflexible. The table next to us didn't eat half of their dinner because their food allergy could not be accommodated. Ambiance: Underwhelming! Le Petit Chef is located in a dimly lit (a little dingy) back room of a hotel lobby. Once we entered the hotel, we had to ask the receptionist where to go. The room was small and again very sparse. It seemed like a low budget event with a very high cost. Overall: The show itself was entertaining but when you break it down, the experience is not worth the overall cost. read more

The food was ok. However at the price point, I don't think it was worth it. Portion sizes were a tad small. Our burrata salads came out with just three slices of cherry tomatoes each. The animation for the seafood bisque showed a variety of seafood but we got four pieces of shrimp. The steak was chewy and sparse. The vegetables ended being the most flavorful part of the dish. I can see this being a fun show for families and children, but once again I don't think it justifies its price point. The event took place in a cramped space in the back of a hotel. The staff were lovely and attentive. They were very patient with the children who attended the dinner. I do appreciate their service. read more

This is our second dinner at the Petite Chef. We made reservations in advance & enjoyed the meal & experience with another couple. Our burratta salad, bouillabaisse, lobster tail, and ice cream sundae were delicious. This 2 hour unique dining experience begins with an animated chef who dances across our plates. This tiny little chef jumps around our plate cooking dinner with him & taking us on the journey with him. The waiter explained each course, while appetizers to desserts are 3 dimensional, interactive & very entertaining. read more

When my wife booked this for us I was a bit skeptical, BUT, I must admit - Le Petit Chef was such a fun and unforgettable experience! The food was much better than I anticipated, beautifully presented, and paired perfectly with the creative storytelling. It comes with a price, but it makes for a truly unique night out! read more

A mixed experience. There were no instructions given that it is necessary to go to the third floor to check in and get access to the 46th floor where the event takes place. After several failed attempts, I discovered it's not possible to get there from the floor on which my room was located. Another unpleasant surprise was a 10% "administrative fee" that goes to the operator in addition to the 15% mandatory gratuity that goes to the staff. Of course, there is also the 8.875% NY State sales tax. That's all a big chunk on top of the $271 per person for the food and wine pairings. I don't mind the gratuity and the sales tax is to be expected, but the administrative fee seems deceptive. A more honest approach would be to outright price the meal at $300. However, the staff was courteous and helpful. Of course, the view from the 46th floor is amazing. The space is surrounded by glass. The 3D animation with the meal was interesting and enjoyable. The food was excellent with well-chosen wine pairings with generous pours. I thought the burrata and fig first course was terrific. Next came a marvelous lobster risotto. The animation before the food was delivered showed the tiny chef wrestling with a lobster. I thought the short ribs were terrific. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The dessert was stellar! It was a fantastic experience. I cannot bring myself to give 5 stars to a place with an administrative fee but now that you have been forewarned, I highly recommend La Petite Chef and hope this popup becomes permanent! Yet, I just discovered the final annoying surprise: despite being in the Marriott they do not accept room charges. Oops, yet one more annoyance. It requires a host card to call an elevator to leave the restaurant. We had to wait several minutes for a host with a card to call the elevator. And then, it only goes to the first floor so if staying in the hotel, one must go all the way to ground level and then take another elevator back up to room level. Yet also, the elevator strangely stops to pick up people on other floors going down to street level. The post meal experience dropped my rating to two stars. Bottom line: great concept, food and service, but poorly managed. What the heck are the operators and hotel doing to deserve the extra 10%? read more

The food was terrible from start to finish. The salad looked and tasted like something I could've thrown together at home. The soup was cold and flavorless, and the chicken tasted like a supermarket rotisserie with a side of Rice-A-Roni straight from the box . The "steak" was completely inedible, and dessert? A frozen cheesecake from Costco. We paid $500 per couple for this garbage. Absolutely not worth it -- a total tourist trap. Save your time, money, and appetite -- DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

I think this can be a fun experience for kids, but I don't think the food or the projections really justify the price. Service was amazing but the food was not memorable at all. First off, service was A+. While we were waiting for table, we were greeted with cocktails and hor d'oeuvres. We had to share our dinner table with another couple, but 50% was taken off our bill for the inconvenience. I appreciate the discount, and luckily the couple were a pleasure to meet, but private conversations with my husband were out the window. There were 4 courses with accompanying wine. I opted out of the wine and was offered nonalcoholic drinks. They did not offer new drinks with each plate like they did with the wine. My 3 star rating is more for the food. At $270/person, I expected better food. The first and main course were disappointing. Because the projections all go on at the same time, you are also at the mercy of the slowest eater at the restaurant. Not great if you are in a rush to catch a broadway show, like the couple seated with us! read more

Purchased tickets to this show and dinner during a 72-hour flash sale and got BOGO tickets. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so the view wasn't as amazing as it would've been but service was amazing and each dish and drink was well explained. The show portion is projected on your plate setting showing a chef cooking your dish with some added comedy in the show. While it was a little short, only a few minutes for each course, it made for a fun dining experience. All the wines and food was good; however, the lobster risotto was missing some seasoning as it was quite bland where the rest of the meal was flavorful. The meal and dinner consisting of some light bites before dinner, 4 glasses of wine, a 4 course dinner and a mini show came out to approximately $135 per person with all the fees was worth it although I wouldn't pay full price. read more

Delicious. I mean the food is yummy. High Quality. Fresh ingredients, flavorful. Service was way above the norm. So friendly. Getting to the restaurant is an adventure. The views are spectacular. The animation is so much fun. I went with my 7 year old son and we both loved it. Pricy but well worth it and the kids dining option is more affordable. First dish was my fav, the burrata. The lobster was divine. The short rib was moist. The dessert had so many lovely textures that blended together harmoniously. Even the welcome appetizers were delightful. read more

A very interesting take on eating food with animations on the table. It was a fun and enjoyable dinner experience. Taking stars out because the food wasn't on par with the overall experience and the service as well. For my entree, I had to wait 30 minutes and stare at others enjoying because the kitchen miscounted. read more

Ambiance- the same music song was played over and over for a half hour before dinner started. Each course had its own music, again same one song played over and over. Really took away from ambiance. Your invite requested we arrive at least 30 minutes before dinner. When we asked about the annoying music we were told it was part of the program and could not be altered. Service- people were very cordial and nice. Would have been appropriate (especially for the price charged) to ask if the food was ok. No one ever inquired about the food. You must believe everything was perfect. Not so. Food- 3 of the 4 courses were exceptional. The steak served to me was raw and cold, not medium rare. I stated the problem to the chef waiting on us. He offered me a glass of wine????? How about asking how the eater of the food how they like their meat cooked? How about bringing me another steak cooked? Again , you charge exuberant cost for very short videos, then you serve food and don't ask the person eating the food if it was ok. Cannot recommend based on cost versus value of the experience. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. All the staff and especially our server Rod were so kind and professional. The whole experience with the 3D effect was fun and creative. The food was good overall and we loved the wine! If you get the chance to enjoy this before it leaves NY do it... you won't regret it! read more

This is one of the most interesting interactive dining experience with wine pairing. The restaurant is located inside Marriott Marquis's. This is fine dining experience, so the server was really nice. read more

Great way to kick off my NYC vacation, fabulous food, we enjoyed the wine pairings selected for each course, and of course the entertainment in between meals was unique and memorable. I will come here again next time I am in town. The service was spectacular and the ambiance was intimate and the views of Times Square was an added bonus. read more

This was a super fun activity, good for age 6 and older. I thought it was incredibly creative and overall well done. We went to the traveling event in London. The food was tooooo salty for my taste but beautifully presented with very fresh ingredients. Service was excellent. I'd have given this 5 stars but for all the salt. I couldn't eat most of what I was served but my daughter in law and young granddaughter loved it all. My granddaughter had the child's menu. Because my DIL doesn't love seafood, she and my granddaughter swapped plates for most dishes as the kids plates didn't include the seafood. read more

Great food. Very friendly staff. The only thing that why my review a 4 stars is the food portions.

What an amazing experience, the food, the view of the of the city. The staff that works there were nice and friendly. Not rushed. Highly recommend but it is pricy read more

We ate here for our anniversary. It was nothing short of perfect! The staff, including Stephanie, Passang, James and many more were wonderful! We were immediately greeted with Champagne and a small appetizer, after being seated the staff were in constant communication as to our needs and worked with us on some menu change requests. The food was delicious! Every dish, and of course the presentation was very unique and had our attention the whole time. We highly recommend you go before it is gone!! read more

Food meh. Gimmicks good. Service awful. Limited access to floor. Told us to be 15 mins early then harassed us 5 minutes before that. Then called us twice about a lost item when we had no service then couldn't get back up. Very frustrating! read more

The experience at Le Petit Chef was outstanding. Our host, Rod, was very attentive and entertaining. His description of the wine and food was very appreciated. He absolutely helped to make my sister's birthday celebration a memorable one. The food was phenomenal and very filling, my favorite dish being the matcha dessert. The wine pairing elevated the experience. read more

Total agreement with Steve S. Good food, excellent service, fun show. (Nits: wine pairings are pedestrian at best. Quantity & quality of animation drops off after 1st 2 courses, so the videos you see on line aren't fully representative of whole show.) Terrible venue at Marriott Marquis "View" restaurant. The hotel tries to balance goals of packing in as many tourists as possible and keeping out Times Square randos. Result is Kafkaesque nightmare in trying to get access. We entered from street level. From there you're supposed to take escalators up 3 levels. All 4 escalators were coming down! So, we joined the surging masses sprinting around the vast elevator core to find the one going to 8th floor lobby. From there, battled crowds to find elevator going down to 3. There we found dedicated elevator to the View, but it wouldn't operate without key card access. Not guests, we had no key card. Flummoxed, we called the restaurant. They sent someone down to fetch us. That took 5 minutes, while we fumed. So, after arriving at hotel right on time, we made it to View 17 minutes later, angry and frustrated. read more
