    The first time I visited Twin Tails I came in just to try the ube soufflé and it did not disappoint. We also had a couple of appetizers and ever since I could not wait to return. I finally had the chance to go back and have a full meal and it was absolutely delish. Not to mention the stunning setting with Columbus Circle views and the amazing service. The Vietnamese & Thai dishes here are exquisite. Everything from the spring rolls to filet mignon is top notch. Enjoy!

    There's not a lot of high end SouthEast Asian restaurants in NYC and I'm so glad this one captures the flavors accurately! We did the $75/person signature and added the duck for +$30/person. An insane deal in my opinion. The duck took a while to come out, but so worth it! It was so delicious. Perfectly balanced amount of skin, fat, and meat! We were already full after the appetizers and the duck. But we had 3 FULL entrees and 2 desserts to go. The appetizers were great. The fried rolls were very authentically Vietnamese flavored. You can't go wrong with any of the entrees. The sauce that came with the branzino was great and the fish itself was grilled to perfection! The shaking beef had a slightly sweet and salty flavor profile. The noodles paired nicely with both. The mango sticky rice's rice was amazing! The best rice of a mango sticky rice I've had. I wish the mangos were a bit more ripe, but the coconut cream was able to add the sweetness element. Our dinner took 3 hours, a bit long in my opinion. We had to flag down our servers many times.

    Gorgeous and elegant in the heart of Columbus circle, this place was a gem! As soon as you walk in, you're amazed at the decor. It felt very serene but at the same time lively! We were seated overlooking the park (in front of the statue - don't know its name :/) which we definitely appreciated! Host was amazing as well as our waiter even though he was new. Food was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to return to try other items from the menu.

    One of my favorite places I've eaten at all year!! Truly a gem, I can't wait to come back! The service was great from beginning to end and nothing short of attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice intimate vibe so great for date nights or for smaller group settings. We sat at the bar and our bartender was Arti, who was super kind and had great banter. Regarding the food, it was phenomenal! So many good choices to choose from but some of my favorites include: green curry escargot, branzino, oysters, and Chinese broccoli. I also recommend the chocolate soufflé, as someone who doesn't enjoy chocolate desserts, this was amazing and reminded me of a brownie. I have a shortlist of restaurants that I really enjoy and this is definitely on it.

    We came here for lunch and really enjoyed the branzino (highly recommend!!!). It's very flavorful and has a kick. We also got a side of jasmine rice - the sauce from the branzino goes really well with the rice! Would come back for this! We also really enjoyed the yellowtail crudo - great flavor here as well just wish there were more pieces. The garlic shrimp was good too but I wished they just peeled the shrimp before cooking The place is located in colombus circle on the 3rd floor. Great ambiance and it's pretty spacious inside! It is on the higher price point but worth it for a nice occasion.

    Twin Tails is effortlessly stunning! Tucked in Columbus Circle with a warm, moody ambiance that feels both intimate and refined & service was attentive throughout. The Pom Pom Spritz and Phuket Swizzle were both refreshing and well-composed with a good alcohol-juice ratio. The Cho Lon Duck is the standout and absolutely worth ordering. Designed to share, it was incredibly tender & flavorful, easily one of the tastiest ducks I've had. We also had the chicken pad kra pao, which was well-seasoned, aromatic, and a great balance to the richness of the other dish. We finished with the coconut red soufflé which was light, warm, and delicately sweet. Order it about 15 mins in advance to give them time to prepare it.

    Been here twice! The food is amazing ALWAYS! Drinks are also strong, which is nice. The service has also been great. The staff is always very helpful and welcoming. Definitely a place I will go back to.

    Thai Tea Swizzle
    Mandisa N.

    The entrance from the mall is so unassuming, but as soon as you open that door, you are transported to such a beautiful restaurant. A little dark and moody, but very high class. The views are amazing! I would totally recommend this place for a celebration dinner. Service is stellar and food is too! Everything is presented so beautifully, and I can confirm it isn't just looks. Thai Tea Swizzle - make sure you mix it well or you're going to be hit with either the sweetest or wateriest swig, lol. Very refreshing and super tasty. Cho Lon Duck - this is perfect as a meal split between two people. We loved the different offerings as they allowed us to mix and match each bite. I appreciated that they also included the cuts they could meticulously slice because value for your money, but I also just want to eat meat. Its definitely more of a splurge item, but it is worth it. Ube Crème Caramel - wow. This was so amazing. Flavors were perfectly balanced and the burnt sugar added the perfect little twang. Please please try this! Even our server said this was the best dessert option.

    I thought this was actually a Thai restaurant but apparently it's a Vietnamese restaurant. We absolutely loved the place and the food. We started with BBQ meatballs which were so flavorful. Duck tower was amazingly good and their fried rice was perfectly flavored. I wished to have more rooms in my tummy!!! Server was very attentive and was knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very elegant which fits so well for Columbus Circle. If you're looking for a spot in Columbus Circle, this is it.

    Food. Service. Ambience--All 10/10s The Duck is worth the hype! The ambience and the view are so pretty. Our waiter (I forget his name :( and the manager are very friendly. I'm happy that it is relatively easy to gain a reservation in this restaurant, but I want them to do well too! I want to come back for dinner to try the other soufflé flavors (they only have one during lunch).

    Twin Tails is an 1980s-inspired Southeast Asian restaurant located on the 3rd floor of the Shops at Columbus Circle, serving Thai-Vietnamese cuisine. It's operated by Quality Branded, the same group behind Don Angie and Zou Zou's, but I hadn't actually heard of this restaurant until I started researching pescatarian friendly restaurants in the area. While they do serve meat and poultry, the menu leans heavily seafood-forward, which immediately caught my attention. The space is romantic and retro, with a moody, dimly lit ambiance and comfortable booth seating. It's also much larger inside than I expected, which gives it a lively feel without being cramped. The night we went, they were hosting a collaboration with Thai restaurant Zaab Zaab, offering a special menu that included a seafood soufflé. Prices fall into the $$$ range, but they're not unreasonable for the setting, portions, and execution. I ordered the crispy garlic shrimp--jumbo, perfectly battered, with just a touch of heat from the chiles. The portion was generous, though you have to order rice separately. Easily some of the best shrimp I've had and absolutely worth the price. My friend ordered the sea bass curry, which arrived wrapped in a banana leaf . She was expecting a bowl of curry and found the dish a little under-sauced, but she requested curry on the side, and the kitchen accommodated without issue. Service was good overall, though it was a bit difficult to get our server's attention at times. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but I do plan to return. This is exactly the kind of restaurant you bring out-of-town friends to when you want to impress.

    The ambiance was wonderful for a date night. The interior design was very cool, organized, and inviting. From the appetizers to the main course and the dessert, everything was delicious!

    Netted chicken spring rolls
    Lan T.

    My daughter wanted to experience their famous Cho Lon Duck with me so here we came! The restaurant is beautiful and located right by the Columns Circle. The waitress was professional and helpful. She explained the portion of the duck is equivalent to 2 entrees, and recommended a few appetizers; they all sounded amazing. Since it's only 2 of us and can't take any leftovers b/c we're catching a show later so we only ordered the Netted chicken rolls besides the duck. The duck was Delicious! It came with 3 different sauces and the coconut rice was good too. The chicken spring rolls were made with double rice paper making it extra crunchy, great flavor and texture. It was an excellent lunch, highly recommend if you're in the area. Actually you should make a reservation b/c they're really popular.

    When is the tasting menu available?

    To my knowledge the tasting available is available at least during dinner and it's family style. Hope this helps.

    Is this restaurant in the old Bad Roman spot?

    No, it's the complete opposite side. If Bad Roman is north of the building, Twin Tails is south. Both restaurants are open and operational

    Walked in on a Wednesday night around 8pm and my friend and I were seated almost immediately. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

    I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

    One of my friends and I were looking to grab a drink before calling it a night. She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
