    First time at S'Aimer, and I definitely would like to return. This is based on the excellent food -- but the experience overall would've gotten a one star, so I'll come back to that and not hurt their ratings for something that seemed to be (hopefully) an isolated incident. We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared them amongst ourselves. Portions are small, but come with rice, so if you chose to get one thing to eat yourself, you'd do fine. The jerk chicken was excellent -- VERY spicy, so you need to like heat in addition to flavor. The steak was one of the best steaks I've ever tasted -- I'd definitely get that for myself in the future! I don't eat seafood but my group had the seabass and raved about it, as well as about the fries and oxtails, which I didn't have either. But they loved both. Watch for small bones in the oxtails and the chicken! It feels funny to rave about rice, but even the jasmine rice was delicious. Now for the issue that almost got the place a lower rating -- we arrived at 5:30 and had to wait for all of our party to be there to be seated. This is a growing policy in restaurants in NYC, so we got it -- and were finally seated at 5:45. We ordered as soon as our last person arrived, and after getting some bread and fries as our appetizer, we then waited an hour and fifteen minutes waiting for anything else to be served. What's worse is there was no communication to us about what was causing the delay. It wasn't just us -- the restaurant was full and only one table had food. We finally got served with about ten minutes in which to eat before running out to catch a 7:30 curtain (this is why I only have photos of the decor and the fries). As the food was served we were told that the restaurant was understaffed and that people were out sick. Totally understand that! We just needed to know that earlier so that we could've made some different choices. Anyway, when they're on I imagine it's a wonderful experience -- again, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere and decor beautiful. Our server, Melissa, was also very nice. So if you enjoy Caribbean food, definitely give S'Aimer a try.

    Beautiful place and the waiter Sulemon is very attentive. I made a reservation for this restaurant after searching for a black owned restaurant on Resy. Upon entering, I had challenges walking down the steep steps. While entering, you need to be careful as the area between the first door and entrance steps and second door is dim. There are Motion lights but they don't help much. When we left the steps were slick because of the rain which made my mobility even more challenging with my disability. In addition, if you're leaving while someone is entering, the two doors will hit each other and you literally walk into the other person. When I entered I waited a bit to be seated which was odd since the place was empty. I noticed the staff sitting in the dining area. I said "hello" and a waitress walked over. I informed her it was a party of three and the other members would arrive in five minutes. Once seated I could over hear a woman seated near me in a yellow floral jumpsuit tell the waitress it might be best to move me as I was sitting near where a private party would be taking place. I thought to myself that she might be in some type of managerial position and as such, she should have come over to me herself and politely explain the situation. Upon being seated, I informed the waitress that I made my reservation under Resy and wanted her to check me in so I get my points. After a few minutes, she informed me they didn't have Resy, only OpenTable. I told her she was mistaken as that was how I made the reservation. This was my second interesting interaction with staff within my first twenty minutes of being in this establishment. The waitress took my drink order and asked if I wanted bread. I definitely wanted bread because I was starving. My party arrived a few minutes later and we all quickly ordered. We all ordered the curry chicken. I had mine with coconut rice and they had rice and peas. I ordered a cheese plate as an appetizer. I like all things cheese so the cheese plate hit the spot. It came out with the bread. The chicken was quite tender and flavorful. My rice needed more of a coconut taste but the rice and pease was very flavorful. My companions had the rum punch with dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. After dinner, the woman in the yellow jumpsuit stated she checked me in. She apologized as they just started using Resy. At the table, we have all been in managerial positions and thought that if they implemented a new reservation system, they should have had a team meeting to review this new system. The evening ended with a very nice man giving all of us rain ponchos as it was pouring unexpectedly. I'm not sure if he worked there but I was grateful for his kindness. I noticed a couple enter with bike shorts and tshirts which confused me as Resy list this restaurant as upscale dining . Most upscale restaurants have a strict dress code.

    Great way to celebrate my 40th Birthday! My friends took me here to celebrate on a very rainy Saturday night, but we quickly forgot about that because we had such a wonderful time here. We were immediately greeted and directed where we could leave our umbrellas. We were then taken to our seats-- the host quickly suggested he could give us a different table, which may better suit us. We ordered Rasta Pasta with Chicken, Squid, Plaintains, French Fries, Shrimp and Lobster, which came with Rice and Cabbage, and Prime Beef Tenderloin. We all were pleased with everything. The service was great, the music was great, not too loud where it drowned out your conversation, but perfect to where you could hear it, also. The drinks were great and had enough alcohol, except maybe the Expresso Martini, it still had great taste. They automatically charge 20% gratuity on all tables that are three people and up. I typically don't like this practice because it encourages poor service, but that surely wasn't the case here. I'd recommend this place for a birthday, date, group putting, whichever. I'd definitely return here and would encourage others to do the same thing. Just an FYI-- if you see the photos of Salmon, don't get your hopes up because they no longer offer it.

    S'Aimer is one of those places that people in the know will not review because they don't want you there or to know about it. Who "You" is can be readily discerned by scrolling down and actually reading any unfavorable reviews and asking yourself if you would want to spend extended time with the author. The beauty and ambiance of this space is as good as it gets in the City of New York. They have done an amazing job. This is the case whether you are at a table, in a semi private nook, at a table near the bar or at the bar. That so many distinct options exist in a smaller space is an accomplishment. Sitting at the bar, one may even discover an hour that is happy, whether it is designated happy or not. The Happy Hour menu will put a smile on anyone's face at $10 (as of January 2024, $18 and discounted during happy hour) in a space as magnificent as this. The expresso martini was made with care, conversation and crafted carefully. While the rum punch is premade and can sneak up on you, unlike many area bars and restaurants, they aren't slinging kool aid or gimmicks. S'Aimer is setting the mood whether you are one of the cool kids or need some help with that. The Jerk Chicken was the way I asked for it to be. They made it clear that the spices were toned down compared to I may be used to and that it and other options could be altered to my tastes. When you read a review about ethnic food restaurants which have to serve mainstream populations, and someone complains about spices, you have to ask yourself what is happening. Often a conversation with the staff about allergies or prior experiences or what your preferences are will lead to advice about how to order and how you may want to alter a dish on the menu. This is certainly the case at S'Aimer. The host is wonderful and ensures to the best of his ability that people are greeted at the door and happy. The plantains are good as is the Jazzy Pasta. The dishes range from $29-48 and are made for sharing. This makes the price points significant for one's horrific neighborhood food sensibilities but on par with the area. Sizes are portion size, not tapas size. I shared my Jerk chicken with my imaginary friend and we loved it. He didn't have any so there was more for me. My real friend say at the bar with me during happy hour and he had the curry chicken and a side and he didn't finish his side. Finally, S'Aimer suffers because of its success. It is beautiful enough to attract people with a stick up their butts, but doesn't care to cater to that crowd. Read every review about the place with that lens, and you will be transported there. If you are at the theater, on a date or having a business meeting and need a place to unwind and feel good at, this is the place for you. Just don't mess it up for the rest of us who enjoy this experience.

    Visited here on a Sunday night with reservations. The team really takes care of you from the moment you walk in until you leave. The place is very intimate and gives black owned speakeasy vibes. Specifically wanted to try this place because it was black owned and it didn't disappoint. The starter bread was fresh, warm and soft, the shinning star of our dinner were the oxtails, rice and peas, and cabbage so so good. The curry chicken with cabbage was fine, but not the best I have ever had, lacked a little kick but also flavor overall. It was supposed to come with rice and peas but unfortunately came with white rice. The waitress said sometimes it changes depending on the day. The plantains were good as well. Last but not least the drinks AMAZING. The creole punch was the highlight of our visit to NY and had us like damn that's really good. The lavender mule (mocktail) was also really delicious! The music and atmosphere was great, r&b music so great for a date night or relaxing with girlfriends. The bathroom was clean!

    Visited for my birthday on a Thursday evening. Conveniently located near Times Square, this place is both cute and on the upscale side. The decor is amazing and I loved the wallpaper in the bathroom. From the moment we walked in the service was great. Everyone was friendly! They had a singer set to perform and 8 that sung happy birthday to me! The bartender gave us shots on the house too. Had the rum punch which was good and strong! The food was delicious. I had no complaints. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. Didn't take a long time to come out and needed no additional salt or anything. The red velvet cake was also delicious! Definitely will come back here.

    There aren't many Caribbean spots in Manhattan, let alone good ones. S'Aimer is amazing, I will be frequenting this spot go forward. The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff is super friendly, and the food was delicious. We started at the bar for happy hour before moving to a table. We tried a few different cocktails but really enjoyed the cucumber martini which was the cocktail of the week and the espresso martini which was not your typical espresso martini, it was creamy and unique, very delicious! For appetizers we had the mussels which were delicious, served with perfectly toasted bread that was great for dipping. For entree my friend had the escovitch red snapper, she really enjoyed it but was expecting the whole fish. The dish was served with 2 large pieces of the fish, be careful with the bones. I had the oxtail with rice and peas, it was very good, needed a little more spice for me but the flavor was on point. We dined on a Thursday night, they had a singer until 9pm. After dinner the chef came out and greeted the tables, he was very friendly and gave us a tour of the back patio which was a great space. With so many options to choose from on restaurant row, S'Aimer which is the new kid on the block is definitely a spot worth checking out. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

    I wanted to check out this restaurant because it was mentioned that it was woman owned and a Caribbean French fusion. I love fusion themed restaurants. The service was great. They even gave us cocktails on the house. The escargot was delicious! Drinks were delicious, too! The one minor thing was that the owner/manager came and greeted us and thanked my company (white male) for coming here and making the reservation. It was, in fact, me (brown woman) who made the reservation! I'll let that one go, I thought it was funny! Overall, I had a memorable and unforgettable experience here!

    Visited while in town for New Year's Eve to watch The Ball Drop. Excellent black-owned, Jamaican/French bistro in the hip neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen. Loved everything about this place - from the beautiful decor to our delicious cocktails and entrees to the friendly waitstaff (S/O to Chastity). Definitely on the "must return to" list for our next visit to NYC.

    I had a great experience here. I took my mom for her birthday after seeing The Wiz. It was a close walk to the show and we ended up getting there about 15 minutes before the reservation and before they opened. They were still happy to seat us and let us know that the kitchen wasn't open yet and that they'd come around when they opened to take our orders. Our servers were great, the food was absolutely delicious and it was one of the best espresso martinis I've had in a while. My must orders: Jazzy Pasta, Sea Bass, Oxtail. We're Jamaican so we tend to be a lot more critical of Caribbean spots but this place was so good!

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

I got the omija, which seems to be one of their more popular drinks, which is yogurt clarified. It's definitely a bit on the sweeter side for me but nonetheless delicious. Super easy to get a last minute reservation here!

It was on a weekday, the day of NBA Finals Game 3 when everyone else were at bars & lounges getting ready for the game to start. This afforded us a beautiful and tranquil experience at Osamil Upstairs. Hidden behind a locked door inside Osamil, it's a spot you have to seek out to get in. After we shared we were going to Osamil Upstairs, the hostess from Osamil promptly unlocked the unmarked door for us to head upstairs to Osamil Upstairs. Had other customers not come out as we were walking up the stairs, we might have passed the entrance to Osamil Upstairs and continued upward! Much like what you might expect of a speakeasy, it's well-hidden, and the interior just blows the mind. It's elegant, beautiful, and comfortable. The drinks were good. My cheese in the trap was smokey (as promised!) and alcohol forward. My hubby had the Jung cocktail and it had the most magical, delicious combination of flavors! We also ordered a foie gras with toast appetizer as a pre-dinner snack; it was OK. All in all, a really pleasant experience and we'd return if we were in the area again!

    I almost missed it at first, it's a bit tucked away, but finding Lillie's feels like discovering a…read morehidden gem. The moment you step inside, you're transported to the Victorian era, with ornate details and charming décor that make the entire space feel like an experience in itself. We stopped in before a show without a reservation and, while the dining room was full, we were able to grab seats at the bar. Honestly, I think it worked out for the best--the bar felt more spacious than the table seating and had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere for a Wednesday afternoon. The mocktails were as creative as they were delicious, and the cocktail menu offered plenty of tempting options as well. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and impressively efficient, striking that perfect balance of great service without constantly interrupting your conversation. We shared the sliders and the summer salad, and both were generously portioned and perfect for splitting. Between the beautiful setting, excellent drinks, and seamless service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to.

Defiantly make a reservation for this one but you might get lucky to just walk in. Super stunning atmosphere and took amazing photos inside. Drinks where fabulous and a great wine selection. I would recommend their lobster ravioli and we shared their tuna tartar. Good idea to get to this place early as service was a bit slower. We waited 25 minuets for our second round of drinks and ultimately had to cancel them as we had our show to attend.

A diverse space that is as much a spot for business as it is for the Party as the DJ stand indicates. Oh, and gold. Gold everywhere. Super fun spot that still maintains super crisp, clean program. Clean, rooted and martini driven. No bonobos here, just well manicured martinis that are built for the pallet, not the instagram grid(but, hey, they're pretty damn photogenic, too)

My only two gripes with the spot were - they didn't acknowledge my birthday, even with a happy birthday from my server or the hostess. I am not sure why Resy prompted me to indicate the occasion if it wouldn't even be acknowledged or looked at. It obviously feels good to feel celebrated, so they dropped the ball in this regard. The second issue is it got sickeningly loud inside. This was a sunday night, and I ended up having to shout just to be heard by the girl right next to me. Everything else was good! Though there wasn't a dish that just blew my mind, everything was consistently really good and enjoyable. I recommended ordering a handful of dishes and sharing with a group. The cornstar martini was fun (and the popcorn was great!), the vodka pasta, caesar salad, and truff fries were enjoyable as well. The cute matchboxes were a cherry on top as we were leaving! I would come back for more of a going out event instead of a sit down dinner, but it's a cool spot!
