"I made a reservation for an early dinner this evening to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. She had never been to Cafe Central, but she had heard me talk about it several times. We were seated promptly and served our water and tea. We decided on two appetizers: the Grilled Portobello Mushroom and the Grilled Fried Calamari. Both were excellent and the spicy sauce on the calamari was great. For dinner, my daughter ordered the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The presentation was spot-on gorgeous on both entrees. The duck was cooked to an absolutely perfect medium rare and the fish was easily among the best I've ever had. We each sampled the other's entree and agreed that both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, the server brought out a wonderful Tres Leches Cake with a Birthday sparkler atop a specially decorated plate. He graciously offered to take a couple of Birthday photos, which I will treasure. The food, service, and ambience all made for a wonderful birthday celebration."

"We visited this restaurant for a casual dinner and found the atmosphere to be cozy and relaxed. I ordered a delicious Cobb salad while my husband opted for the wings. Our server was friendly and gave us great attention. Our only issue was that the iced tea had a strange taste, but we understand that this is primarily a bar and not known for its tea selection."

"nougatine at jean georges is the perfect pre-lincoln center dining place. our waiter was very nice when he came beyond the programmed what brings you to us today? and service was attentive. the early evening views of columbus circle at this time of the year are funny. the pointed zehenkuchen appetizer was excellent. unfortunately the lachs was overcooked. the list of weeping through the glass offered some very nice choices. the exquisite amuse beech before dinner were thin sparing in a spicy panko crust with a lemon based dipping sauce. the French pommes were too salty. dessert was the always excellent warm varona chocolate cake. we're coming back. not always perfect, but close."

"Nougatine at Jean Georges is a great choice for a pre-show dinner near Lincoln Center. Our server was friendly once he went beyond the scripted greeting. The early evening views of Columbus Circle were enjoyable. The crab cake appetizer was delicious, but unfortunately the salmon was overcooked. The selection of wines by the glass was impressive. The amuse bouche before the meal consisted of asparagus in a crispy panko crust with a tangy lemon sauce. The French fries were too salty. The highlight of the meal was the always fantastic warm Valrhona chocolate cake for dessert. We plan to return, as despite a few flaws, our overall experience was nearly perfect."

"Los Fuegos 11/4/22 Perhaps I have no right to provide negative feedback, given the fact that while booking our reservation on OpenTable, I overlooked the OUTDOOR nature of our seating. Los Fuegos has an indoor dining room and an outdoor area. While being seated, after seeing that we are being given a table in the empty outdoor patio, we inquired about the possibility of having an indoor table. The hostess told us they are fully booked. As we ordered our bottle of wine and appetizers and waited for the food for quite a bit of time, we couldn’t help but notice that the indoor dining hall had plenty of empty tables. When inquiring again at the hostess stand, we we’re unceremoniously told that the tables are being held for hotel guests and rosewood club members, and even if they are empty, we can’t be seated indoors. The mosquitoes made mincemeat of both my wife and myself, and when we brought it up to our server, he felt embarrassed he couldn’t remedy the situation. Los Fuegos can enjoy serving their imaginary clients and have empty dining tables at their will and leisure, we will not be coming back to find out how business is going. You have seen our patronage twice first and LAST."

"Delicious food, we ordered several appetizer dishes but the one we liked was Duck Croquette and Naan. Escargot and Grilled Octopus was average. Dinner dishes were amazing, my son ordered Liberty Farms Dry Aged Duck Breast, my younger son and my wife shared 16 oz Snake River Farms Eye of the Ribeye and I had whole fried Red Snapper. Must try Wood Oven Roasted Hen of the Woods Mushroom and Cauliflower as side dishes you won’t regret it. I would love to go to Otium more often but it’s very expensive."

"The dinner was absolutely incredible! The quality of the food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect from such a legendary restaurant, which has been around for 98 years. Despite its age, the place still maintains its pristine appearance thanks to recent renovations, and it is exceptionally clean. I cannot comprehend why anyone would criticize this restaurant; we had an absolutely amazing dining experience."

"We had a great time at Cobalt. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are good for the high prices they charge hence the stars for value. That said, the wine markup is super ridiculous, so we likely will come back for meals with friends who drink less : (a delicious Sancerre on the menu for $125 can be bought in a store for $24.99 . Food recos Foie Gras app, Caviar app, scallop entree, and my dining companions shared that the Lamb and the mac cheese dishes were also noteworthy. Our server, Nikki was awesome friendly, super knowledgeable and attentive. My dining companions were a little put off by the larger service support, or lack thereof, in that for the type of restaurant and the price point, they expected Nikki's support staff to be a lot more visible (we had to ask for napkins and flatware after getting our first food item, when the tables are typically set before seating , and we ordered 2 plates that we stated would be split between 2 of us, and we would have expected the kitchen to plate the split. When the food runner brought the single plate, we even had to ask for extra dishes to split it ourselves. these are minor things, and we just reset our expectations that while the prices may be high, the vibe is still pretty casual. Great views on the outdoor seating area, and nice ambiance, and they are good with kiddos too (crayons and coloring sheets, and a kids menu . We will be back!"

"Made reservations on OpenTable to celebrate my husbands birthday. When we arrived, there was no wait time however, Our table seating was horrible. Seated Right next to the kitchen and in the midst of placing and picking up orders. Requested another table and informed that there were none available. We were sent at this small table that most of our belongings were not able to fit.The Pho appetizer was delicious however revived almost cold. We placed two appetizer orders and had to request pick up for both. Being seated next to the kitchen, we knew that our food was ready before our server. The noise level was terrible. We could hear conversations from all ends of the restaurant. The food was very good and tether expensive. Our bill was about 388 for my husband and I. The service charge was 60 dollars, which was not warranted. Nice decor however the seating made it impossible to enjoy. Probably will not return."

"Have eaten here several times. Was surprised that with a reservation we were still sitting at a booth looking into the kitchen. We could have asked to be moved, but we didn't want to. The waiter was very enthusiastic, but failed to fill glasses of water without being asked. My husband's lasagna was a huge brick in the middle of an unadorned plate. A little salad or something green and crispy would have been nice. Not an à la carte fan, especially when it comes to the price of the main course alone. The room was very dark and a bit noisy. I would ask not to sit in this area another time."

"We got married on 7/9/22 in the tent and everything was absolutely spectacular since the first day we went to view the venue. Theresa, Adrian and Susan were amazing! The views, the weather (thankfully) food and everything in between couldn’t have made our special day any better."
