    Partially eaten half chicken, very good
    Dave K.

    Great ambiance not crowded and unbearably noisy like many West Village restaurants. We came across n a Sunday and had the Wellington, the roast half chicken chicken and a few starters. All was very good. I'll be back. Service was strong.

    Sophisticated vibe in the West Village. Service was great. Food & drinks were wonderful and tasty. The menu is limited And, beware of the price tag. This restaurant is pricey.

    Shakshuka

    The Noortwyck is a charming and slightly upscale restaurant in the West Village, offering some creative food. Their brunch menu offers a blend of classic options with a refined twist. The shakshuka was particularly noteworthy. Rather than the traditional tomato-based dish, it was reimagined with braised greens and parmesan, creating a wonderfully savory dish. And the duck fried rice? You don't see duck served in fried rice very often, but paired with the kimchi aioli, it made for a really intriguing and satisfying dish. Oh, and the cinnamon roll, which was generously covered in frosting, was a perfect way to end the meal. They also have a large wine list and some great cocktails too. Service was immaculate; they were very attentive. This is very much a restaurant for those seeking a more refined and intimate dining experience.

    Went out for a team dinner at The Noortwyck and everything from start to finish was exceptional. We sampled a little bit of everything, and not a single dish missed the mark. The duck bao buns were an instant favorite--pillowy, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. The fluke crudo was unbelievably fresh and buttery, the kind of dish you wish you could order twice. The rigatoni? Immaculate. Perfectly cooked, beautifully balanced, and incredibly comforting. For mains, we tried the halibut, pork chop, and BBQ duck breast, and each one was so good that our table went quiet for a moment just to savor them. The flavors were deep, thoughtful, and clearly crafted with intention. The Noortwyck delivered a flawless dining experience--great food, warm service, and a vibe that made our team dinner feel special. Already looking forward to the next visit. Highly recommend.

    They have a great deal on Fridays for a burger and a martini which is awesome. Their oysters were also delicious. It's a great location and if you can sit at the front, the people watching is excellent.

    I've walked by this place hundreds of times but never visited. We decided to change that today. The space is nice with the front opened and great for people watching. It can get a bit hot there on warmer days. It was the start of restaurant week but we opted for the normal menu. My wife ordered the martini which was served with your option of garnish. That was pretty cool. For food, we had the oysters, both the agnolotti and the linguini, then finished with the duck for two. The oysters came out quickly and were good but there was a huge gap between that dish and our pastas. I would say it felt like 20 minutes or more without any food. Once the pastas came, it was the best part of the meal. The corn agnolotti were good but the clams linguini was amazing. In fact, it was so good we ordered another plate. The duck was cooked well and quite good as well. Where they could use some work is with service. We had one waiter and one runner basically working the entire restaurant. To the point where instead of asking us if we wanted dessert when we asked to pack the rest of our duck to go, he said, "I assume you want the check." Which I said, sure. Bad way to end an otherwise good meal. We would probably come back again just for the pasta. But don't be sticker shocked, this place isn't cheap. Our meal came out to $400 after tips.

    Went back for cocktails- great options, large bar, and great service. Recommend both day and night!

    What an underrated place! In a day and age where almost everything in the WV that's good gets overhyped on social media and makes getting a reservation impossible, I am so glad that we came to the Noortwyck. The food was absolutely incredible. I can confidently say that this was the best duck that I've had and I truly am still thinking about it to this day. Our dessert was divine as well and the bread that we got as a starter was fabulous. Service was impeccable with attentive wait staff, and very friendly host staff. The ambience is perfect as we came in for an easy early dinner and while the restaurant was quite empty, the ambiance was still wonderful. I will recommend the Noortwyck to anyone that asks for a West Village recommendation as I truly think this is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

    The menu was short and sweet with a variety of options that should satisfy most people. The waitress raved about the shakshuka so literally 3/4 people ordered that and they all enjoyed it. Me as the outlier ordered the short ribs fried rice and it was SO good, I basically licked my plate clean. The drinks were also innovative! Service was also good and vibes were nice. They take reservation + had outdoor seating while also being inside, it was perfect.

    Took the beau here for an anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. The vibe is upscale casual with a focus on quality and service. We sat in the back as the front room is more of a bar crowd and a bit louder. Our food was excellent. Well prepared, fresh, seasonal, and delicious. The chicken liver parfait was decadent and smooth as silk. The accompanying honey coated bread was sumptuous so this dish earned high marks. The striped bass came out piping hot and was perfectly cooked. Had to have the mascarpone rice pudding which I loved. High praise all around.

    Such a great spot! The Noortwyck is an excellent restaurant that you can actually make a normal time reservation for. If you want a quality meal with great wine and cocktail options, this is your spot. The menu is great for sharing - everything I've tried has been a hit. Service is great - the servers and somm are very attentive. Ambiance is nice, not pretentious, buzzy. It's great for a small group or dinner for two.

    Char Siu Duck

    I had a great time here with my girlfriends on a Monday night~ Lovely ambiance once you walk in, and the servers are all very pleasant to talk to. A lot of reviews mentioned the Seeded Parker House, and we were glad we got it b/c it was bigger than expected so you can share little bites with the table, and was so fluffy and flavorful! The Char Siu Duck was also very yummy and paired well with the foie gras butter. With the linguine, I felt like the sauce was a little unique(?) and wasn't vibing with it too much.. But out of everything, I would highly recommend getting the Agnolotti. The corn paired so well with the cream and noodles. I would come back just for this dish! I think overall, I think the ambiance was good for a little more elevated dinner and I appreciated that the dishes had a touch of their own special elegance to it.

    Alex M.

    Had a fantastic meal here with some friends on a Thursday evening. The general vibe was pretty laid back, which was refreshing for a restaurant of that calibre in the area. We ordered a few dishes to split and particularly like the scallop, the duck breast, and the agnolotti! We also tried their special dessert (forget the name), but it was a hit! Their wine selection is also pretty solid and they do have cocktails if that is your thing. The service was very attentive and friendly, giving us solid recommendations on food (particularly the dessert info was useful). I will most likely be back again and looking forward to trying some of their other dishes.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.
