Reservations open 2 weeks in advance around 10am and they go super fest so I recommend you try for the day you need as for me I could only have gotten brunch on a Sunday. Those people spam the crap out of their buttons for the dinner spots and when I went I can see why. The place is brimming with old school New York charm and it's completely overwhelmingly beautiful and has an old jazzy vibe to it. It's large and spacious and they sat us in the middle of the entire restaurant. (I had a group of 6) The vibe was so good you don't really want to leave and they also don't really kick you out. I think we were the last ones to exit for brunch but they were so nice they didn't kick us out. Their espresso martinis are ok. It wasn't as amazing as a regular cocktail bar but it is just ok. We started off with a shrimp cocktail, smoked whitefish Caesar salad and the two plates of truffle monkey bread which was soooo good. I really enjoyed this as it's the main reason we came here. It's almost like a honey dinner roll with truffle. We got everything next which some people got their own and some shared. Some people got their own American breakfast platter which was some overdone eggs and a meat with gigantic toast and if you only order scrambled eggs it comes in a bowl but I would much rather order their classics like steak sandwich and the spicy shrimp was pretty good! Fries are top tier! I can see why people just come here for dinner. I would give it mostly 5 stars for the overall ambiance and environment and a few classics. I think their old fashioned is better than their espresso martinis though even though it looks so good in this type of setting! It's hard to get a reservation though so next time I'll need to try some new things if I score another!

Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor.

I honestly…read moredid not expect to be this impressed, but this ended up being one of the best burgers I have ever had -- and quite possibly the best burger of my life. I ordered the burger with cheese, and everything about it was perfect. The burger itself was THICK, incredibly juicy, and cooked beautifully. You could immediately tell that the meat was high quality, and knowing that they use Creekstone beef made it even better. The flavor was rich and beefy without being overwhelming, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The patty had that perfect combination of a beautifully cooked exterior while still being extremely juicy and tender inside. And the bread deserves its own paragraph! The brioche-style bun was excellent. It was soft, slightly buttery, and substantial enough to hold the thick patty without falling apart or becoming soggy. It complemented the burger perfectly rather than taking away from the meat. The combination of the juicy Creekstone beef, melted cheese, and that excellent brioche-style bread was honestly phenomenal. What really stood out to me was how substantial the burger was. This wasn't one of those thin burgers where you finish it and immediately feel like you could eat another one. It was thick, hearty, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite felt like you were getting exactly what you want from a great burger. The fries were also excellent. I really appreciated that they weren't overly fried or greasy. They had a great texture and were crispy without feeling heavy or excessively oily. Sometimes fries can completely overwhelm a meal because they're so fried, but these were much more balanced and paired perfectly with the burger. Overall, Friedman absolutely exceeded my expectations. The burger, especially with the cheese, was outstanding, the Creekstone beef was incredibly flavorful, the brioche-style bun was excellent, and the fries were the perfect accompaniment. If you're in NYC and love burgers, this is a must-go-to. I would absolutely order this burger again and would highly recommend Friedman to anyone looking for a thick, juicy, high-quality burger. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever

This was my first time dining at the Lincoln Square location on 63rd Street, which opened in 2012, and it was outstanding. A friend was celebrating her promotion and invited a group of friends to join her. We were a table of 11 and were seated in the back dining room. Considering the size of our group, the service was remarkable--attentive, efficient, and never intrusive. I started with a gin martini, which was perfectly made. We ordered an assortment of appetizers to share, making it easy for everyone to sample several things from the menu. For my main course, I went with the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. Dessert was the highlight of the meal for me. The "Death by Chocolate" was outstanding--a rich chocolate mousse, a caramelized layer of crispy sugar over it, and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. It was the perfect way to finish the evening. Walking into the restaurant, the first thing that caught my attention was the impressive 50-foot zinc bar. The spacious dining room, designed by the Rockwell Group, has an industrial-chic feel, with white subway-tiled walls, reclaimed wood, and large windows. There's also a classic black-and-white photo booth in the basement, which adds a fun touch. The menu is broad enough to appeal to almost everyone, ranging from a raw seafood bar and prime steaks to burgers, mac 'n cheese, and popular brunch dishes. I also appreciate the complimentary house-filtered still and sparkling water--a small detail, but a nice touch. The location is particularly convenient for Lincoln Center, with easy access from the 1 train at 66th Street-Lincoln Center and the A, B, C, and D trains at Columbus Circle. A Little History The Smith traces its roots to 2007, when Jeffrey Lefcourt and Michael Jacobs opened the original location in the East Village. The 63rd Street restaurant opened in November 2012 as the brand's third New York City location, designed to serve Upper West Side residents as well as the large number of people attending performances at Lincoln Center. After years of enjoying the East Village location, I'm glad I finally made it to the 63rd Street restaurant. With excellent service, a lively atmosphere, a broad menu, and a great location, it delivered a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back.

Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna This tuna appetizer is one of Perry St's signature dishes - it was the number one recommendation of our waiter. Sadly, it wasn't that memorable, partially because we only got half the dish. The other half wound up being accidentally dropped into a water glass by our server and not being replaced. Thanks dude. The rice cracker crust is certainly tasty, but it's nothing life changing, and we expected a little more from something that comes served in a sriracha-citrus emulsion.Sweet Chili Crab Dumplings Another dish that arrived at our table after being highly touted, but just didn't do it for us. There was something missing, and we couldn't understand how this slimy green dumpling could be one of their most popular dishes.Cod With Miso-Yuzu Glaze Not the best miso cod we've ever had, but the sriracha gives the fish a serious kick of flavor. If you don't like it spicy, take a pass on this one. read more

After reading so many great reviews, my boyfriend and I decided to reserve a table at Perry St. last night for dinner. It was a bit pricey and the portions are not huge, but the food is YUMMY and the service is decent, not great, but decent. The restaurant itself is pretty basic and unassuming in its presentation, and the seating is limited (thus the need for reservations, as my fellow Yelpers warned). We knew beforehand that we were going to order the rice cracker tuna because so many people raved about it, and they were right. It really is good. We also liked the lamb and the burrata, which the restaurant apparently makes on site. It was very fresh and tasty. My boyfriend does not like sweets, which worked out well here because the peach pavlova, though yummy, was not big enough to share. read more

We have been there two times in the last 8 weeks. A very approachable menu. That is surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the food. We have had the fried chicken, the hake and the beef. All were delicious. Don't miss the burratta as an appetizer. Served with figs it is great. The wine list is very reasonably priced. Both time the service has been spot on. The tables are nicely spaced and the music is not too loud. The ambiance is upscale but not pretentious in any way. As a few folks have mentioned there is a $28 brunch special that is well worth it. Speaking of brunch they serve the dinner menu as well as typical brunch items so there is nice flexibility at what is often only an egg/pancake choice. Am definitely planning on going back and would recommend you try it. read more

I'm giving Perry St 1 star because the food was ok. The rest of the dinner was a nightmare. I have never been to a restaurant where they so blatantly rushed you out so they could seat the next people as they did here. We were served our bread, chefs complimentary tasting and our appetizer all at the same time. They could hardly fit everything on our table. We asked our waitress, who was admittedly very polite, if we could have a pause before our entrees were served. She said she would speak to the kitchen and we ordered our wine. Five minutes later, there was our entrée before we even had our wine. There are so many wonderful restaurants in the W Village; save your money and enjoy your dinner somewhere else. read more

The problem with Perry Street is they are in a terrible hurry to get you out so they can get another seating - which is a shame as the food was quite good (except for desert which had obviously been pre-plated so the 'wafers' were soggy, and the ice cream softer than the chocolate mousse). We got our chef's 'treat' at the same time as the bread and our appetizers. We asked them to slow things down but we still got our main course before our wine. Not the romantic evening we were anticipating. read more

Stulman is, in some ways, the Bon Iver of New York restaurants: his sensibility was shaped in Wisconsin, then sharpened by New York into something much more distinctive. Under all the coolness I associate with the best of the Midwest, there's an earnestness and lack of pretension, paired with enough downtown edge to make it deeply desirable. It captures the same improbable chemistry that makes kids raised on the Upper East Side fall hard for Madison or Ann Arbor. Somehow Joseph Leonard can feel wholesome, progressive, sophisticated, and completely unforced at the same time. The burger is excellent, the Bloody Mary is great, and this is one of those rare places I'm equally happy visiting for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Service has always been terrific, and the people working there seem to embody the restaurant itself: interesting, kind, and genuinely cool. It's tiny, so plan accordingly, but that intimacy is part of why it works so well. Joseph Leonard was a meaningful little fixture at the end of our years in New York, and I still think of it as one of the city's great neighborhood restaurants. Très bien!

My husband and I came to Le Sixth on a Friday night and were truly blown away by the food here. We…read morehad a close emotional history with the restaurant which used to be in this space (Llama San) so we always knew we'd be back to try whatever new business opened. We are over the moon that it's Philippe Orrico and his team! The interior is very simply decorated, classy, no fuss. Our waiter, Nelson, was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable but also very warm and simply fun to interact with. We started with two French 75s which there were able to make for us even if they were off the menu. The food was the most impressive part of the whole experience and it shows that the Chef has received Michelin stars in the past. The technique was impeccable. We tried: - Fennel salad: I never knew fennel could taste so good! Super refreshing dish. It had the perfect crunch from the fresh produce with a tangy vinaigrette and the sweet burst of flavor from the tomatoes. The aromatics were subtle, and did not overpower any other element of the dish. I appreciated how the flavor of the vegetables still shone through. Citrusy, tangy, punchy, bright--- the perfect summer app. - Salmon tartare: literally amazing. Finely diced salmon over a bed of avocado. The salmon was so flavorful, fatty, and just dissolved in the mouth. This came with some crispy ?wonton skins (at least that's how I can best describe them) but they had a mildly sweet aftertaste which balanced out the citrus and umami elements of the tartare. Good to share between 2. - Risotto: this was amazing. The risotto was cooked perfectly al dente and came in this creamy sauce with mascarpone and umami hints from bacon bits. It was absolutely divine. The escargot on top added the perfect buttery and earthy complement. I've never been much of an escargot fan but they worked very well in this dish and I would order again, no question. - Sole: we ordered the half portion which was perfect when sharing two mains. The fillet was flaky, tender, and came with a side of capers in butter that may be one of the most decadent combinations I've ever had. The punch of the capers, with the creamy sweetness and fats from the butter really were divine. The mashed potatoes that came with this were also amazing-- perfectly smooth and creamy. - Steak frites: this was stellar. I've had some other steak frites in the city but what I appreciated most about this was how light it felt and how the technique and quality of ingredients really shone through. The steak was cooked impeccably, was so tender we could basically cut it with a fork alone, and came with a peppercorn sauce that had a lot of depth but felt somewhat light and bright at the same time. The fries were crispy wand actually were properly salted relative to the steak. I will certainly get this next time I come. 10/10. - Trio of cremes brûlées: I'm usually a chocolate mousse girl but thought this looked special-- I certainly have no regrets. The Chef prepares 3 small cremes brûlées of different flavors and recommended that you eat them in a certain order. The vanilla was creamy, with a beautiful flavor and mild undertones of the egg that reminded me of the quintessential "French vanilla", the caramelized top was crispy, delicate, and perfect-- probably the best crème brûlée I've had in my life. The next was an orange saffron which had a similarly perfect consistency but a lovely orange flavor with the honey/earthy flavors of saffron. We got a bit of orange zest in there which was beautiful. Very well balanced! The last was a pistachio creme brulee which was a bit denser, richly flavored of pistachios with almond extract, with an equally delicate caramelized top. It was unreal. All were so unique and it was fun to see a range of the dessert outside of the ordinary. We had a really memorable dinner here. Overall, Le Sixth is a truly wonderful addition to the West Village scene. They execute the traditional impeccably, with high quality ingredients, strong culinary techniques, and well-balanced, enjoyable flavors. While there are some more inventive dishes on the menu, I think their strengths lie in how well they do the classics. The location is perfect for a fun night out in New York City, the service is also top notch. I am excited to see where the business goes. Highly recommend you give them a visit! I already have my next reservation booked.

French bistro fare in NYC tends to skew heavily, heavily traditional with little room for fusion or…read morecreativity. When such flexibility is allowed, it tends to be 3x the price and accompanied by a star of the tire-made variety, meaning you're no longer in casual bistro territory. And sometimes I don't want to pay $100 for a duck canard just because the chef added a dash of yuzu to it. So I'll give Chef Philippe Orrico credit for offering a menu of bistro classics with a twist while not charging astronomically high prices. We were a party of three and walked away well-satiated without needing to draw from next month's paycheck. - Beef tartare / quail egg / melba toast / gem / cesar: Got the smaller portion at $26 and it was more than enough for two rounds per person. The tartare had great seasoning and was the perfect texture. - Foie Gras Creme Brulee: Temporarily off their dining menu but soon to be reinstated, this is what blowtorches and broilers were made for (if you can look past the moral ambiguity of foie gras). Rich, creamy and surprisingly not too decadent--with just a touch of sweetness--this is creative bistro fare that succeeds. - Risotto with snail, bacon, mascarpone, parmigiano: What a lovely twist on classic escargots. The risotto was perfectly made and smokier than a 10-year aged islay, the snails were delightfully chewy, and the creamy mascarpone was everything a dairy sauce should be. - Sole / mashed potato / grenobloise / croutons / brown butter: Perfectly pan-fried, though the mashed potatoes had almost too much butter even for me. - Steak frites / grilled gem / sauce Champs-Elysee: At first glance, it might be easy to judge this book by its unassuming cover, but the jus is made with a secret ingredient that really sets it apart from other steak frites. Have fun guessing what. We were fortunate to meet Chef Orrico and have a fun post-dinner chat with him where he shared some honest trials 'n' tribulations of how he got to this point. It's always interesting hearing BTS restaurant stories--aside from pure nepotism, there really is no easy path, huh? Oh, and don't sleep on the homemade ganache balls (matcha and chocolate, in our case) that come with your check. Mmmm! All in, we each paid less than $90 for our share of the bill. In Manhattan, that's practically....free.

We loved this and would order again. 3. The burger with roquefort sauce - this was delicious but we had a hard time eating it without it falling apart! That being said, the bread is homemade, they use coleslaw instead of lettuce which is so delicious, and the meat and roquefort sauce is decadent and delicious. It's a helluva burger. We ordered truffle fries with it and it comes with real truffle! Ambiance is so cozy. Service is so attentive. It's clean and classy there. Perfect for a date night. Would go back for sure.

Finally tried Ubani Bistro on Bleecker and this place is way more interesting than I expected…read more We started with the Adjaruli khachapuri -- that cheese "boat" with the egg in the middle -- and it was honestly ridiculous. Super rich, stretchy cheese, and you mix the egg in yourself while it's still hot. Definitely a must-order. Also got the escargot, which I didn't expect to see on a Georgian menu, but it worked -- super buttery, garlicky, very French, and a nice contrast to the heavier dishes. For mains, the shkmeruli (garlic Cornish hen) was insane. The sauce is super garlicky and creamy, but not overwhelming, and the chicken was really tender. We also tried the cauliflower with walnut sauce -- sounds simple, but it had that classic Georgian nutty, spiced flavor and ended up being one of the best dishes on the table. Also worth mentioning: their khinkali (dumplings) are legit -- juicy inside, and you're supposed to eat them by hand and sip the broth first. The whole place has that cozy West Village energy but feels a little different from the usual Italian spots -- more low-key, kind of feels like you stumbled into something niche. Not a hype restaurant -- but the food actually hits. I'd go back just for the khachapuri and that garlic chicken alone.

The service was perfection. Both friendly and elegant, it felt both like they were well-trained in service AND were interested in creating an enjoyable experience. The food was fabulous, but the portion sizes are very hard to grok based on the menu! We ended up with butter & olive oil, the cured meats plate, and the gildas to start, along with a cocktail each. Each bite was unique and delicious--the briny-ness of the gildas contrasted the richness of the meats quite well! After that, we had the egg/shrimp/potato dish which was simply out of this world. He warned us about the chili pepper, so we had him set it on the side, but honestly it would've been lovely mixed in--wasn't THAT spicy. ;) The potatoes are the best I've had, full stop. The eggs were jammy and gave the whole thing an incredible sauce. The shrimp were plump and flavorful, and the garlic and parsley on them was punchy like I think it should be. Every bite was a delight. The only issue was that this dish is HUGE. We didn't quite realize that (the server did say she could warn us which were larger dishes, but I thought she meant she WOULD warn us, whereas I think she meant if we asked she would ;)), so we ate about 1/3 of it between the two of us and then she kindly offered to box it up for us (which she did, returning it at the end of the meal and assuring us it's quite delicious the next day, so we'll have it for leftovers--and we're both excited at this prospect!). But we couldn't just eat it all if we were going to eat the main dish--the filet with potatoes. [At this point, I got a glass of wine recommended by the server, which was fabulous...but it was also $33, and I felt a little tricked to be recommended that wine without being told the price for a glass. Not that it was bad--frankly, I probably would have gone with the reco knowing the price. But it felt funny/tricky to be recommended that with no cost context.] The steak was perfection. And it came with more potatoes. Honestly, the saddest moment was not having enough room in my stomach to eat all the potatoes. I literally could come here and just order a stack of potatoes and a martini--which I just might do on my next visit, grabbing a seat at the bar. The music was a little odd...but whatever, it was 5:30 on a Sunday. :) Overall, a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning!

Food-wise, we ordered five dishes and sent two of them back. The flavors were flat throughout the meal. The asparagus salad tasted raw. The suckling lamb was unevenly salted--some parts were too salty, while others were okay. The huevos fritos were fine, but they didn't live up to their reputation as the signature dish. The cod fish and croquetas were the dishes we ended up keeping. All of our tip was for the server who provided more attentive service and helped us with the returns.
