    I think the food is ordinarily good, not amazing. The waiter was unpleasant, he even filled in the amount of tips before handing me the check. How rude!

    lobster curry
    Sara W.

    i honestly couldn't decide on what to get, the hosts were very patient with me. I ended up getting the lobster curry (recommend), the peasant egg and grits (good but wish i tried something else), and the dessert was sweet! super cool presentation and all around experience. the wine was also a great compliment to the dinner. ty!

    I went to Tocqueville for dinner on September 9th. I have to say it was the most terrible dinner experience I ever had. We arrived at 6pm and spent almost 4.5 hours for 7 courses chef tasteing menu. The EACH waiting time between last 4 courses is more than half hour! That was too ridiculous! We spent less than 1 hour to eat, more than 3.5 hours for waiting. I ask the server what happened, and they said nothing. There is no explanation and apologies! I emailed the restaurant about my experience but no one reply! Foods are just ok. No signal at dinner room. I will never come back again and won't recommend to anyone!

    Don't get me wrong; I actually liked everything my family and I ordered here (well, my mom didn't find anything special). BUT nothing was filling and we felt a bit cheated with the price, as we were forced to order a lot in order to feel full. I found the food very unique and appealing, and the occasion was my birthday, so it was nice when the waiters brought out a dessert at the end. For a fancy restaurant, the set up was not ideal. My family of four was squished at a small square table near the wall and too close to the table next to us. We could very clearly hear their conversations and people who sat inside had to squeeze past to use the bathroom.

    15East at Tocqueville had an amazing and comfortable outdoor setup that was really pretty. The reason i found this place is that I would walk by and wondered what the gorgeous setup was for! This is two restaurants that combined into one - a Japanese and a French. We had food from both menus and all of it was delicious. Sushi was extremely light and fresh. The more traditional french hot items were also delicious, but extremely decadent. We went all out with ordering and wish we got less, but everything was delicious. Come here if you are looking for a big celebratory meal out! Follow me on instagram @eatenbysteph

    Sometimes a combination of two things becomes more than just the sum of its parts. 15East at Tocqueville is one such example. The menu is a well crafted combination of Japanese and French inspired cuisine with a delicate balance of flavors and fresh ingredients. Decor was lovely and you can see the effort put in here to make a cozy environment even amongst the chill. We had: 1) the uni carbonara + seared foie gras to start 2) duck duck duck soba (amazing in this weather) 3) scalloped potato topped trout 4) smoked duck 5) tofu, Fuji apple and lava cake desserts 6) two pieces of Botan Ebi (why not) Highlights here was the smoked duck, amazingly balanced dish with good use of acid to cut through the well rendered duck fat. Mineoka tofu a very unique dessert, must try. Overall, the attentive service, fresh ingredients and surprisingly delicate dishes are still worthy of the Tocqueville name with 15 East's touch making it all the better. 5/5, sensational

    Aged Carnaroli Risotto Acquerello
    Alexa L.

    Made reservations for lunch on a Saturday with my family and upon walking in, we were greeted by the hostess. There is a cute bar to your left and the dining area is a tucked in the back. It is definitely a very intimate setting. When were seated we received complimentary hors d'oeuvre courtesy of the chef. I loved the ambiance and how the dishes were plated. It was definitely upscale and matched its price point. We ordered the sea urchin carbonara which was a little on the heavier side for its portion. The aged carnaroli risotto acquerello was perfect! I loved the mushroom and the entire dish in itself - I wish I had more. The truffled creamy parmesan grits looked interesting - I didn't try it since it isn't my usual cup of tea. The oysters and the mignonette was super fresh and absolutely delicious - definitely a must try! As for our entrée - since I love scallops, I ordered the seared day boat scallops and hudson valley foie gras. AMAZING. I would go back just for this dish. So fresh and so good. Portion was rather small but definitely delicious. There was also the duck sausage, sea trout, filet mignon and duck breast. The duck breast was very good however if you are hungry I would stay away from the sausage since it was also very very small. I have to say the scallops and foie gras, duck breast and the filet mignon were my top 3 choices. As for dessert, the chef sent out complimentary house-made sorbets to apologize for the delay in-between our meals which we gladly enjoyed. Each flavor was very distinct in its own way. My favorite was definitely the lighter ones. We also tried the passion fruit trifle. YUM and refreshing! All in all it was a good experience and definitely a place to take a date or if you are celebrating an occasion.

    Slightly smoked Duck Breast

    Six stars! Yes Six stars! Six for food, six for ambiance and six for the service. Truly outstanding and one of the best the city has to offer. We went for lunch and had the tasting menu which was a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Tocqueville. Started with serval Amuse Bouche tastes and then the Salmon Tartare which was truly one of the best ever had. Then the noted sea urchin and angel hair pasta was truly memorable. Then the duck breast which was perfectly lightly smoked. I did the wine pairing and the selections were spot on. The wine complemented every dish perfectly. Ended with a chocolate soufflé, basil ice cream and fruit sorbet. What an amazing lunch! The price for lunch was so very reasonable for the quality, portions and excellence of fine dining. While this was our first time at Tocqueville, it won't be our last. Don't miss an exceptional experience.

    All the 5 star reviews on here is CAP & straight LIES. If you gave this place a 5-star, you CLEARLY have not had REAL QUALITY FOOD in general then. I don't usually write essays as reviews but this has got to be the WORST and most expensive meal I've experienced. I told my s/o we would've been better off at an $85 omakase in LES than spend $700 here. Came here on Valentine's Day for 6 prix fixe course $255/pp. 9:30pm resy. Debated between omakase tasting & prix fixe - eventually went with prix fixe because I have omakase at least once a week already. (Just putting into perspective & credibility purposes) We got seated. Completely ignored. Yes it's busy, yes it's a holiday so I let it slide. I'll be patient. But then, another table of 2 gets seated about 5-10 minutes after us. Immediately received water & menu. I was a bit thrown off, trying to convince myself they will come to our table next. Nope, ignored again. I eventually call a waiter over and ASKED for the menu. Finally picked our dishes. FOOD ARRIVAL 1st - we both had the oysters. As you can see on the menu which I've attached in the photos, it states 4..4!! PEICES. If you swipe to the next photo after the menu, we were only served 3 oysters. I was thinking maybe they've changed their menu for tonight without telling us; I asked our waiter what 3 instead of 4 oysters meant and she explained she wasn't aware of the menu being four oysters and apologized. Brought out the fourth one separately. I started looking at others, they also received 3 after I brought it to their attention. RED FLAG. Remember $255/pp. i taste oysters, they are FISHY. I am a seafood feen, connoisseur, daughter of a fisherman and supermarket owner. I KNOW what good oysters are. These were most likely dollar oysters. 3/10 2nd - we both got the Sea Urchin Carbonara 5/10 Pasta was cooked to perfection. Chewy bouncy YUM. Sea urchin aka uni was pretty decent. 3 pieces only though. Pasta sauce very heavy on the butter & cream, not a lot of flavor. TINY portion. Remember again, $255/pp. 3rd - truffle grits 6/10 and foie gras pudding 6/10 The grits - texture was good, taste/truffle was hinted, Parmesan overload tho. Foie gras pudding - SALTY. So freaking salty it's like eating the egg pudding you get at omakase and instead of using kombu for umami flavor, they used watered down eel sauce and drowned the pudding in it. Texture was perfect though. Creamy. 4th - sea bass & caviar 6/10 and maine lobster 6/10 Sea bass was fresh, cooked perfectly, light & flaky. Caviar was delish. The sauce KILLED the dish. Murdered it. The sauce had such a thick cream and cheese taste, it drowned out the freshness of the bass. Maine lobster was very delish however it was the portion size of 2 bites (if you're a little person). Reminder, $255/pp. it came with what looked like scallop but nope, it was very salty mushy radish.. I think. 5th - we both got short rib and wagyu 4/10 Short rib BEYOND SALTY Wagyu 2 BITES. Again, $258/pp. At this point, I was crying because the meal is over and it's 12AM and dessert has YET to be served. Who the heck finishes dinner at 12AM at a restaurant? Last - chocolate flourless cake & we received a complimentary raspberry napoleon..which wasn't really napoleon considering it was just a layer of dehydrated raspberry which had NO flavor and fresh raspberry with flavorless cream sandwiched in between layers w/ some type of alcoholic sorbet. 3/10. Service was good, our waiter did listen and accommodate us to the best of her abilities but this just is NOT right. It might sound like I'm just upset about a $700 meal but listen, I DIDNT PAY AT ALL AND IM STILL RANTING. Each in between course was a wait time of about 10-15 minutes which is absurd. It's so dim to the point where your eyes have to bulge open to SEE what you're looking at. Everyone is stuffed next to each other. I had heard the whole argument between a couple seated next to us. Water wouldn't be poured, asked to fill about 3 times since they didn't leave our bottle of still w/ us. Don't. Come. Here. Save your coins. Oh and, my stomach is currently not feeling so well.

    Daily Special Seafood Appetizer ($20)
    Ameya B.

    Had made reservations for an early dinner at Tocqueville and what an amazing experience I had. The restaurant is really fancy, and has an amazing setup. Yes, food here is expensive, but extremely delicious. The chef kept sending some complimentary hors d oeuvres while working on my order, which included a daily special appetizer which was seafood based ($20) and my entree which was Sriracha Marinated Grilled Filet Mignon ($44). Food quality is just top notch... presentation, flavor and portions is absolute perfection. Service stands out as well, and the staff is extremely welcoming and explains each and every dish to you, when it's served. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion/celebration evening or if you win the New York Lottery!

    Outdoor setup

    I returned for the first time in years. I'm not sure if I should recommend to friends.... Staff and ambience were top-notch. But their sushi (collaboration with 15East) was most ungenerous. It's one thing to make edo-Mae size, well, edo mae size, which is smaller than your average takeout sushi . It's another to serve nigiri the size of small lego block . Especially when the neta (fish component) is chu-toro. The chutoro piece (it should be addressed "speck") was basically an akami, lacking fat. Wine by glass ( $19-24) were all unmemorable table wine of sorts. The French dishes linger in the limbo between modern and traditional. For the price, one would expect unexpected twists in dishes (ie Racines). Or ducks from premier purveyors. Their dishes are something you expect at bistros, but lacking the heartiness found at Balthazar and Julien. The plating is slightly swankier than your average bistro. . Pro: Friendly and warm staff Beautiful and well-ventilated outdoor seating Relatively quiet location Prompt seating Con: Overpriced and diminutive sushi Not precise in their cuts of tuna (chu-toro was basically akami here) Mediocre and overpriced wine selection Ok main dishes for high prices

    Oysters with yuzu mignonette
    melissa w.

    What a beautiful and elegant restaurant. The bar area is inviting and the dining room is lovely and quiet. The service is excellent and the food exceeded my expectations. I tasted a little bit of everything. The caviar with eggs was great, loved the Wild Bluefin Tuna sashimi flight followed by oysters. Shared the sea bass, lobster duo and steak and of course dessert. Cocktails are enjoyable and the wine selection is great. I will definitely be back again.

    John Z.

    Took my parents here for their $70 lunch 5 course tasting menu and it was real good. Maybe a little heavy handed in the sea-food department but I liked it way better than the tasting menu at Le Bernardin. The last dish we had, the duck, was probably the best duck I've ever had. Really great slice of meat. Bread selection was also delicious, they had 3 types. Meal included 2 or 3 extra dishes/appetizers complimentary of the chef which made the experience even sweeter. Service was very friendly albeit a little bit slow, but overall a great meal if you want to impress somebody.

The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

It struck a really nice balance and added to the overall atmosphere rather than distracting from it. The food and drinks were just as impressive. The Seafood Box was fresh across the board, with a great mix of king prawns, oysters, lobster salad, hiramasa, and mussels. The Peekytoe Crab Cake had a perfect crisp on the outside, tons of flavor, and an excellent nori aioli. The standout for me was the Eggplant Zen, which was incredibly flavorful and well put together. To drink, the Toki Highball was light, refreshing, and really well balanced. Overall, a great experience with strong food, drinks, and ambiance.

    Wanted to LOVE this place... Came to NYC with the Hubby for a work event and weeks before had us…read moredouble booked every night in town for dinner and this was the dinner I was most looking forrward to... Sad!!! From the moment we walked in I was hopeful, the girls at the window were great checking us in, but there was a slight issue and I felt that shifted our entire night. We sit down and the tables are TIGHT - we were sat right next to the stage and the woman that was on was GREAT... digging the vibe, super excited - my arm would constantly touch the girl next to us and we then started all talking to that table as well so it became less awkward but still... Drinks come, Ok - My drink I had to assemble myself which was cute I could make it too my liking, I just might have liked if there was actual alcohol with it... Then food, apps were Ok... The mains, NO... The steak had NO FLAVOR, not even bad flavor, NONE... Then the music changed, and the band that went on after was just NOT a vibe - what we had hoped would be a cute, cuddle in a little booth, get some music, good food, turned into a "are we done, lets hurry and go drink at the hotel bar" experience! Sad because I wanted to love this place, and maybe another booth where my ass wasnt on my neighbors chair, and the music was a different band might change this whole experience!
