KinoOctober 24, 2016This 3 centuries old carriage house provides a high level service with freshly picked roses & a live piano player. Seared Foie Gras, Beef Wellington, Chocolate Soufflé, & Mille Feuille were delicious.
John EFebruary 12, 2018If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic night with a loved one, look no further. Great wine list and surprisingly good cocktails. Tasting menu is more reasonable than restaurants of similar quality.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A dim, intimate ambiance complete with candlelit tables and live piano music make it the epitomic romantic restaurant. While the food falls short in some areas, the Beef Wellington is worth an order.
Kirill FuchsMarch 25, 2017Go here for a romantic dinner, or come in and sit casually by one of the fire places while listening to the live pianist. Don't forget to grab a glass of wine, beer or cocktail from the bar ;)- New York HabitatOctober 26, 2011This upscale restaurant is perfect for a classy, romantic night out. Live piano, candlelit tables, and courteous service. Start with the pretzel bread and get the beef wellington for the main course.
Trae FDecember 25, 2015Very disappointing. If a restaurant is going to charge obscene prices they better be able to justify it. This place fails on every level. Beautiful setting but that's where it ends. Save your money.
Molly StoddartAugust 17, 2014Romantic atmosphere, wonderful service. Prices are special occasion worthy. Delicious food, plates are perfectly sized. Really enjoyed the scallops & beef wellington.
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 8, 2012Tucked away in a historic 18th Cent. carriage house in the West Village, this romantic restaurant has been the setting for countless cozy dinners since it opened in 1972. A fireplace & grand piano.- M.

Melania SpagnoliDecember 17, 2014Loved it! Perfect place for a romantic dinner ❤️ food and service are perfect. Really worth the price. The Wellington fillet is outstanding!
IWalked Audio ToursJuly 3, 2012Trendy restaurant that resides within former carriage house built in 1754 for former VP Aaron Burr who is said to haunt the premise (along with 22 other spirits). Full site history via<LINK> Read more
The Corcoran GroupOctober 29, 2010One of the most romantic restaurants in the city. A great place to go for an anniversary. Try the beef Wellington as part of the Prix Fix menu for $78.
JoAnne KaoOctober 10, 2016The most romantic restaurant in nyc and the food is delicious! Rack of lamb!
vivienne au-yangJanuary 4, 2015brunch was ok. Egg Arcadia (poached eggs with lobster cake) good apart from one of the eggs was a bit over cooked. pastries were not warm, a bit disappointing. music/drinks were the best.
Dee MyaApril 6, 2011amazing place, beautiful and has its own seporate vegetarian dishes , i wish more tourists would come here instead of the places by times square and get a better vision of NYC- BenFebruary 21, 2015Date spot, cozy downstairs to get a cocktail, great selection of after dinner treats, fireplace too.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010If you want to pamper your gal in NY, run over to One if by land, Two if by Seas for the delicious beef wellington and great wine list- Patti Stanger, Millionaire Matchmaker
Jonathan BasconesNovember 18, 2013Get the table by the windowed facing the garden. Very romantic. The red velvet is out of this world.
catsunFebruary 11, 2013Request an order of the pretzel bread (from the bar menu). Comes out hot with melted gruyere and a rich mustard dip!
Susan LeeJanuary 25, 2012Chestnut, venison ragout tagliatelle & the Korean short ribs are delicious! Try & catch restaurant week here. The value is too good to pass up.
Philip HarperApril 26, 2010Yo straight up dope... Great food great decor esp if you want to impress the lady, also good spot for popping the big Q. Very romantic and intimate. Can also have a very nice dinner with family.
Russell HirschornJune 26, 2016Just really excellent food and drink. Very consistent, every piece of every dish was VERY good.
Garry ChienJuly 19, 2012Amazing service!! Messed up my entree, but ended up giving us three extra desserts. Plus, you can't go wrong with any of the food.
Kristine BrewitzJanuary 30, 2013If you want one of those superb spots with a courtyard view try going late. Some spots open up 10/10:30 ish
Marc SchneebergerJuly 6, 2016Its super romantic and cozy and food is good! A bit overprized but okay you pay for the atmosphere!
Kate WagnerFebruary 14, 2014Not kidding when they say MOST ROMANTIC. I was looking for something romantic, this bordered on mushy or cheesy in my opinion. Really nice, completely beautiful but INTENSE.
Faridih BologniniSeptember 1, 2016Romantic, lovely piano playing, cozy seating...and supposedly very charming at Christmas with tree and holiday lights.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The tunnels that run underneath One if by Land, Two if by Sea were used to get contraband food to the British during the Revolutionary War &, later, to help slaves escape on the Underground Railroad.
JuliAnne M.December 26, 2012Have the beef Wellington and chocolate souffle. Waiter John is very nice. Ask for a table in the back.
Lauren GrimmFebruary 16, 2016Bummed with the lack of service and food consistency Valentines Day weekend. I thought this was one of NYC's most romantic restaurants?!!?
Audrey OMay 19, 2013Definitely a romantic venue with candelit tables, live music, and a pretty garden!
Sarah JohnsonApril 21, 2014Perfect, romantic atmosphere for a special celebration. Tasting menus was outstanding.
Greg BodenairFebruary 7, 2012Try the Dulce De Leche & Caramel Corn Ice Cream Sundae - Final course of the best meal of Restaurant Week thus far.
Susan RifkinJanuary 21, 2013Cozy piano bar by the fireplace. I like the main room on the first floor best.
Michael C. FinaJune 12, 2013One of the best places to propose in NYC! Very romantic and wonderful service!
Greenwich Village Literary Pub CrawlJune 20, 2012An old stable, and a smithy...but Burr's connection is questionable. Food is outstanding. Enjoy! Read more
Sergery SalMarch 9, 2015Nothing special about entrée but def should check out the chocolate mousse with raspberry ice cream - delicious
Samantha BrydenApril 16, 2018Food is good, not quite worth the price! However the ambiance makes up for it
Mindy YangAugust 7, 2011Super romantic. Go there for special occasions (proposal, anniversaries...) Get the duck. The wellington is good, but I personally think it's a bit overrated.
Chris KieffDecember 15, 2009This is THE most romantic restaurant in NYC- bar none! I proposed to my wife here 15 years ago and it worked! Try it yourself.
