Michelle C.: Raw bar, mac n cheese, bacon wrapped apricots. Just opened in Midtown east
alana marie edmunds: Try the bacon wrapped apricots - incredible!
The Corcoran Group: While dinner here is awesome, we prefer to eat at this hip spot for brunch - reservations are a must. The BLT+E is to die for, and what makes it extra delicious is that it's served on a croissant!

cj fitzgerald: After dinner, have a cocktail at my favorite place in Manhattan (its both opulent and modern). Highly recommend the risotto, truffle sliders, and afternoon tea. In the summer, sit on the balcony.

The Corcoran Group: Sublime and peaceful dining experience. Try any of the tasting menus with wine, they’re well worth the price. Nice place to take a break and have a drink while exploring MoMA.
Eater: The tarte flambee is one of the best bar snacks in NYC. [Eater 38 Member]
HOBNOB Magazine: I just adore this place, decor-wise and food-wise. Prefer the bar room over the dining room. The mushroom soup is healthy and delicious.
Александра Клюева: Wonderful hotel in the center of NYC! Great location! Closed to Times Square and Central Park. I had great view from my amazing terrace. You'll never find other hotel in the center of NYC with terrace

Roniel Tessler: Delicious & excellent service. This place should be a regular go to for tourists and locals. The gemelli is excellent, as is the pot De creme dessert, and lamb merguez starter.
Andrew Smallwood: Great for breakfast with a twist
Hailey Heewoo Kim: Cute atmosphere, awesome food! The calamari was amazing(!!) and absolutely loved(!!!) the squid ink rigatoni with crab - it had the perfect hint of spice! Looking forward to another visit!

Eater: Long Island Greek fish restaurant Limani recently opened its second location. The name means seaport in Greek and appropriately offers a fish focused menu including whole fish baked in salt. Read more.
John E: Food is fantastic, particularly the chicken kebab, which keeps me coming back. Outdoor dining pop-up area during the summer is a rare find in this area. But service is consistently disappointing.
Özge Özsoy: Very lazy guys! If you want to wait more than 30 minutes you can eat!

Emily K.: Do not skip these dessert: vanilla millefeuille, chocolate soufflé with pistachio ice cream (with crunchy pistachio bits), profiteroles with tableside chocolate sauce service.
Eater: The bar room is a cool place for after-work cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and on the weekends, Benoit serves one of the best brunches in Midtown (it includes a dessert buffet). [Eater 38 Member]
nymag: The three-course, $25 lunchtime prix fixe menu is one of the better deals in midtown. And per Adam Platt, the signature tarte flambée is worth a special trip. Read more.

Tim Shey: A fun, faithful facsimile of gilded age Gotham, from the menu to the murals. Order the most old-school stuff on the menu and enjoy.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.
Bergdorf Goodman: It's a BG New York City Secret! Victoria Beckham loves this uber chic and classic bar. Read more.
