Fantastic food, great ambiance, great service. Sit at the bar if possible. Chef is amazing. Order what looks good and everything will exceed expectations. read more

Very cool space. Had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed watching the open kitchen. Three dishes were perfectly cooked - love well executed Israeli food. Two were somewhat underwhelming... Overall worth a visit. read more

Soooo I never review but for this one I must!! Hands down the BEST restaurant we have been to in quite some time. The flavors were incredible and very present in every dish, all perfectly seasoned! If you like Mediterranean cuisine - this is it! And to top it off the staff went above and beyond and was very attentive - sit at the bar for the full Middle Eastern hug. We will be back here, we will bring our friends and our family time and again. Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in several years. And we LOVE to eat out. read more

Great ambiance, attentive service and food is chefs kiss! Bustling energy and exclusive setting with fashionable flare. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is really nicely designed, ambiance is great, and the staff is absolutely top notch. Cocktails were good, and the wine was excellent. The food, however, we found to be a little underwhelming. It was...fine. but of the 7+ plates we had, nothing was really excellent. We wanted to love it -- the concept and vibe makes you feel as though you will! -- but in reality, the food was...okay. really under seasoned to our taste - many of the dishes were subtle to the point of basically lacking flavor. All in all, a fun experience for just over $100 a person, but none of the food was excellent, and we did leave a bit hungry. read more

If WeWork had started a restaurant it would be this place. Our waiter seemed more interesting in convincing us that this place was unlike any other restaurant in history than refilling our glasses. Proof the place is different: I told him I wanted the chicken and my girlfriend wanted the fish. He told us that couldn't happen because everything is served to the table. So when they are removed he placed them in the middle of the table and when he left we moved the items to the edge of the table. Simply revolutionary. read more

Highly recommend. The food was delicious and we had a really great meal as a family. Thank you For a wonderful dinner!

Great food and service. Can't recommend enough. Red snapper shawarma and rock shrimp were both standouts.

Excellent food, engaging service. The bagel was sublime and texturally perfect. Whole meal was delicious and loved that the menu was filled with personality. read more

Amazing experience! We tried and shared many dishes and were extremely happy. Drinks were outstanding too!

This is my new favorite restaurant in NYC. Highly recommend sitting at chef bar. Great atmosphere and food was phenomenal. Will definitely go back soon! read more

Amazing food. Great vibes. A beautiful place and a super professional team. Highly recommended.

If the first few minutes in the restaurant are telling of the likely experience, let's break even and find another spot! We've lived in NYC Manhattan for 20+ years and were excited to try Shmone, but the experience fell far short of high expectations. We were hit by a loud roar of talking and yelling as we entered the restaurant. The overly packed small dining room made the environs extremely loud and difficult to hear dining partners, let alone the server, without yelling. Despite reservations, we were seated in what appeared to be one of the worst pigeon-holed corner tables with no convenient exits to leave for possible bathroom breaks or any other kind of movement without directly bumping into other diners. The seating was also located directly in front of a dish station where all servers continuously returned to grab or stack dishes. Constant clanging and shuttering noise directly behind me didnt help with the noise that was already ear-piercing. The server, who barely spoke at a volume about the background roar, first asked if we wanted anything to drink. Unfortunately, the two wines that we requested on the wine list were not available (I wondered what else is going to NOT be availalbe). We then requested to speak with the sommelier. Unfortunately for us, our two servers told us that the sommelier could not come to our table and speak with us as he was too busy behind the bar. He simply recommended a bottle without any idea of our preferences or potential food options. Quite dismissive. What kind of restaurant "sommelier" is this, especially for a restuarant that boasts to have "...a comprehensive wine list, curated to pair beautifully with our dishes each day" on its website? Does every wine pair with every dish? We can't speak about the food as this is as far as we got....we left. I'm sure that the table was filled, as the place seemed busy. I just hope that people are aware of what they are getting into before going. There are plenty of other places in Manhattan where you dont have to yell to be heard and can get an excellent dinner with sommelier support. Look around for a better experience. read more

Spectacular food and wine w flavors that melt in your mouth. Buzzy super and uber hip cool with warm grace and kindness. Waugh beef skewer not o be missed. Wonderful and thoughtful wine list read more

The food was excellent. The vibe was excellent. And the staff was great! Definitely recommend trying!!!

The most delicious and beautiful! Every dish was delightful. I love this place and will be coming back soon.

Simply amazing every single time. Can't wait to go back as soon as possible. Great service, amazing food, and always great ambiance.

Delicious and flavorful. All of the ingredients were very fresh and that staff was wonderful. One of the best restaurants in the city. I can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing food, great service. Ambiance is the best. Not much more to say! Keep up the good work!

Overpriced and gimmicky. Loud and inauthentic. If you are going to charge this much, look into a decent table cloth. It does not hold a candle to other Israeli restaurants like Zahav or Nur (shame its gone). Even if you order an item they refuse to bring it to the person who wants it since everything is family style. Revolutionary. Great you can charge me more when I move it from the center of the table to in front of me. Call the items on the menu a creature if you want to seem different, but the food is still bad. The WeWork pandering from the waiter about how their methodology is totally different from every other restaurant is absurd. Other restaurants change their menu regularly and cook things from scratch. It doesn't require a mantra for the food to be good. If they cooked the pasta from scratch it would not have been ready as quickly as it was. I had the most flavorless rabbit I've ever had on any menu in my lifetime here. My grandmother's boiled chicken had more flavor. Skip it and go to Sofreh instead. read more

We had a wonderful, delicious meal, but the true highlight was our wonderful server. They were warm and present without being overbearing. They made excellent suggestions. Never altered the quality of our service because our 10 yo was in tow, which all too often happens. What a great meal! Don't miss the monkfish if they have it and the green salad really was perfect, how often do you say that??! Hooray for Shmoné! read more

HAIR IN MY FOOD!! Absolutely unacceptable. Was very excited to eat here with my family months ago only to be disappointed by the service, quality of food and the hair in my food. I will no longer be returning and I hope you don't waste your time here! read more

This place has no respect for their customers. I had a reservation that I cancelled 4+ hours in advance because my pregnant sister got sick and they charged me $100 and wouldn't waive the charge. read more

I will start by saying that in my 40 years in NYC I have never ever been treated so poorly in any establishment. My friend and I were constantly harassed during our dining experience by the waiter and manager to order, to order more and finally to pay and to leave. We spent well over 200 dollars between the 2 of us and not once was the waiter present to do anything more than harass. Forget about pouring the wine or showing even one ounce of hospitality. Ive worked and dined in many popular restaurants in NYC and although I do understand the need to turn a table to make space for the next reservation , there is an artful way to get the timing right and keep things moving at a good pace. Harassing your customers is not. The dining room and bar seating feels cramped and very loud and the although the food was delicious it was overshadowed by the poor treatment doled out by the front of the house. Honestly not worth it..this place wont last! read more

I went to dinner with a friend. My share came to $82. I left a tip of roughly $15. They helped themselves to a $40 tip. Nothing else matters. read more

There was a lady bug in the leeks that we ordered. They gave us 30% off but they left the leeks on the menu...what a joke this place is.

On our last night in the city we decided have dinner at Shmoné and it was a great experience! My husband is on a very strict salt diet and the staff and chef we supper accommodating! The scallops were delicious , salad wa super fresh ams and the cocktails were superb. Special shout out to the manager. read more

Good new restaurant, but doesn't compare to its other restaurants in the portfolio like Miznon. Expect small portions and $$$$$

Hi there, I was so excited to eat at Shmone last night that I went there running and full of excitement! Here's how the night went! The Sesame bread for $9.00dollars was the biggest hit, where I didn't feel totally ripped off! With that said, we needed to order one bread per person. Next- The salad is overpriced just average. Could make it myself and better! Entrees are yo a HUGE RIPOFF. One person in my party ordered the lamb chops. when they came it was too tiny little lamb chops! 2 that's right...,two bites! It took my friend less then 1 minute to eat his minuscule underwhelming dinner! a total rip off at $36!! Next, another person in my party, ordered the lamb skewer at $45 another huge disappointment! The portions here are made for toddlers, not adults! be warned! I let the chef know ahead of time that one person in our party would be a vegan, and they did not have anything to accommodate vegans, except for some mashed potatoes and a salad again very disappointing! Service is extremely underwhelming, not professional on any level for the prices that they're charging. The weight staff is nothing to write home about! We ordered the lemon cake and the chocolate cake for dessert. They were good chocolate cake was better than the lemon cake. . If you want to feel ripped off, this is a Restaurant you should go to. Otherwise they need to change their pricing. They need to rethink their portions, and then I would try it again. Meanwhile, if you go here, expect to leave hungry and disappointed read more

I don't recommend this restaurant for a few reasons that came together to equal a subpar dining experience: - the prices are ridiculous given the portion size and food quality. I mean absolutely ludicrous. It should be 25-50% less - overall the taste of things was just average, but given the price point, totally not worth it. I had the focaccia (totally burnt on the bottom), 3 dips (fine but was mostly just harissa), the rice and peas (poorly cooked rice and bland peas), the beets (fine but salty) and the lamb kebab (this was legitimately delicious, but just not enough of it to warrant the price point). And we also ordered another dish that never arrived. For dessert we had the Chantilly dish that was literally just chantilly cream with just one strawberry. Ludicrous. - the timing the dishes came out was really off. We got the rice and dips immediate. Then had to wait about 15 min for the beets. Then about 35 min for the lamb. We ended up having to ask for the bread. And then another 30 min later we asked about the missing dish only to hear that the kitchen never made it so we weren't getting it - the dining room is so loud you can barely hear anyone without shouting Overall this is a huge pass for me read more

Awful experience! They take the clients as a joke ! I will never come back and make sure no one I know will go there . And here is why : we ordered the table for 4 ppl Came on time but waited like 20 min outside till our table is ready . When finally we was invited inn ,we found out that a table was small for 2 person, but they added 2 chairs .which is maybe was good for a restaurant but to us it was very tight and barely we had a place for our 4 plates . And no room left for the food that will come . As we started to ordered we have found that half of the menu was sold out ! We came to eat ,we were hungry and there is no food ? We ordered some entrees : sashimi which was good ,green salad and the joke they call lasagna. Forget about the lasagna that you know .it was lasagna without a lasagna. Imagine a waiter comes by and put with a spoon yes this is the size of undefined structure of a mass. What is this ? Cheese ,melted . This is their concept of a lasagna . For the main curse after we find out that two dishes was all ready sold out ,we ordered the last chicken(don't know what the next costumers are left to eat ). What have remained in the menu had costed a fortune like a fish at 230 dollar etc So we ordered the last chicken and have found out there are no side dishes . Are you serious!? What will we eat ? Only a chicken,grilled,whole chicken that was laying on focaccia bread . At some point we were asked by some employee is everything all right . We said no ,and explained him why do we feel frustrated. And his answer was like : this is the concept of the restaurant. We take some amount of food and cook it ,and when it's gone it's gone. And how about those clients who came to the restaurant hungry ? How surprising huh? We maybe an old school guys and going to restaurants to eat actually ! We paid a bill and went out . And will never come back for sure . read more

Superb restaurant. Some of the most delicious food I've had in a long while -- beautiful and perfectly dressed green salad, towering white asparagus in a creamy ricotta, Lubina on grilled bread, heavenly & juicy whole chicken on a doughy bread that soaks up the juice. Service was excellent and passionate (Temo was terrific). Thrilled to have this wonderful Israeli restraint in the neighborhood! read more

Was staying near by on a recent visit to NYC and had a great time at Shmone. Excellent food and very fun service. So good we went back 2 nights in a row. read more

The food and service were ok. I am not sure why the restaurant is this loud, very loud music, you have to yell in order to be heard. I believe for the quality of food and the service it is overpriced compared to other similar restaurants. read more

At the moment this restaurant might be in my top 5 favorite places to eat in NYC. The places has a great vibe, the staff is incredibly nice, making you feel welcomed, and part of the fun. Nothing about the service was the typical approach, and everything about the service authentic and refreshing. We were a party of two and we sat at the bar. We had a full menu experience, from cocktails to first course, second course, sea creatures, land creatures, I think they might have even served heaven creatures. Every plate was extraordinary (and I don't give praise easily). Seating at the bar also was an incredible view into the cooking action, and it was pure theater. This is not your typical place, the kitchen staff was amazing to watch, and they made you feel you were part of the action. All in all it was an exceptional experience. ...pricey, actually very pricey, but it's much more than food, this was a one of a kind experience. read more

I really enjoyed everything. If people cant deal with moving the plate closer to themselves, maybe they shouldn't eat here. Everything was good, great, or at least interesting. Sweetbreads, and veal cheek- sublime. I did feel like they are a bit stingy with the bread. 9.00 per piece, which is slightly larger than a dinner roll, albeit a delicious one. Why so much attention is given to the font of the menu is beyond me- clearly someone in the kitchen is a genius at mixing flavors- the grilled squid with cranberry beans was also a standout, as was the summersquash. I dont write so many reviews, but pretty damn good for a first try.. read more

I'm usually a spectator on Yelp but felt it necessary to write a review on this one. Bottom line - this place is awful. The service was fine, the ambience was nothing special, even the food was fine (much better options in the neighborhood). The prices are OFFENSIVELY high, which walking in we honestly had no problem with, but when they start bringing you out tiny morsels of food, it's a joke. The cherry on top was ordering a $156 steak for two...had no taste, was all fat, and was tiny/not impressive in anyway, and came with nothing. You could go to the nicest most expensive steakhouse in NYC and have a steak 3x as big for half the price. I honestly thought it was an actual joke they were playing on us, we all laughed when they brought it out. I've been to Hasalon, I've been to Port Said in Tel Aviv (same owners), they are great. Hasalon is also crazy expensive but at least there's a vibe there...Shmone is just an offensively expensive restaurant with OK food, tiny portions, and zero vibe. I couldn't more strongly recommend someone to NOT go somewhere. After spending over $200 per person we still needed to go out for pizza after. Please don't go here. read more
