Best Romantic Restaurants In New York Near Me

Kirby Chirp: Beautiful views with haute cuisineExcellent bread and softened butterInteresting amuse bouchePrix fixe meal - makes for a wonderful -to-be -shared tasting adventure for our groupChoices are plentiful..although - with foams, ganache, whipped, and other gastronomic styles- difficult to really know what is being served.The Brooklyn Bridge chocolate dessert was a nice manner to end the mealOur waiter, Robbie, was really nice but all the staff members were attentive.Bravo to keeping a well- run restaurant- truly a place to visit if in NYC

Hui Huang: Love the Brooklyn bridge dessert. Thanks for the extra middle course. Staffs are friendly and professional.Improvements: my napkin cloth had a dirty mark on it. The server helped replaced one. It’s quiet relatively crowded for the tables. Whereas the events section is empty.

John Stewart: arrived practically raw and purple the middle - cold and undercooked My venison was the opposite- - - bit dry and overdone . And it's side. the "green pea soaetzel" was dry, bland, and lacking any pizazz. I've had better spaetzel at Loreley. To make matters worse, not one server made the effort to check in with us to ask if the feed was to our linking - which it was not. Furthermore, the after we finished the meal, the staff continued to ignore us, so our plates sat there until l had to hunt down a busboy and demand that our plates be removed. At that point, the even more haughty maitr'e d came over and stated he was taking over and asked if he might help with "the problem". I asked him if it was customary for his staff to ignore their tables, not check in after the main course was delivered, and further if thebusboys usually let empty plates sit on the table for an extended period of time? I then asked him if the chunk of purple meat on my wife's plate appeared to be "medium"? He agreed it did not, offered a sheepish apology. At that point, we asked for the check and passed on our dessert. Dessert was supposed. to arrive with a birthday cable for my wife, but unfortunately the RC staff had succeeded in ruining the entire evening.All in all, if one is looking for a Michelin star rated restaurant and willing to spend $200+ per person, there are far better choices in Manhattan. Not to mention the interior is very tired and old. The outside, sure it's quaint on the water, etc - but absolutely not worth the price of admission. Won't repeat.

Motushi Ahmed: I had the most wonderful time at the river cafe all thanks to Amanda for making my night extra special. I went to celebrate my birthday here by myself and I didn’t feel anything was missed. Amanda made sure I had a good time and when the cake came she made sure I was treated well. She always checked in on me throughout my time there and I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The service was great overall from everyone else and Amanda especially also helped me make some lovely memories with that I will never forget. Thank you

John Bosko: Recommended dishes Branzino

Skylar Herd: The Capital Grille was nothing short of amazing! From the first interaction to the last, my husband and I were pleased with our experience. He picked a great restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Foods, drinks and service were outstanding! We were seated in a small dining room and our table was set nicely. Although the restaurant was quite busy, it felt so intimate. Heron G. literally put the icing on the cake with his dessert gesture and overall great service the entire evening.

osman ansari: You always know what you’re going to get. Consistent no matter the location or the state.Burgers are a hidden gem here as most everyone opts for the steak.Recommended dishes Creamed Spinach, Bread Basket, The Grille’S Signature Cheeseburger with Grilled Onions …

Victoria Nguyen: I was able to snag a 5:30pm dinner reservation. Even as I write this review, I still think about just how great the food was.First off, they do emphasize a dress code. Jackets are not required; however, the don’t allow athletic wear or short sleeves. It was mentioned 3 times in my confirmation text haha.We chose the prix fixe course which came with 4 courses for $198 per person. It ended up being more than 4 courses, but I think the little amuse bouches and dessert things didn’t count.There’s a bread basket that circulates often. Very often. They asked us if we wanted bread throughout the entire meal which I really appreciated. They don’t skimp on this part haha. The focaccia was so delish!The first thing we were served was a 3 piece amuse bouche. I can’t remember exactly what all 3 were, but the last item that had the potato foam with crab and lobster, one of my favorite items of the night. It was SO FLAVORFUL. It was like an smooth airy mashed potatoes with lobster. I could eat an entire bowl of that.For my prix fixe, I ordered the Oysters, Lobster, Filet Mignon, and Carrot Cake. The oysters were great and fresh. It came with a delicious mignonette. The lobster. Oh wow the lobster. It came in a Thai Lemongrass Curry Bouillon. My favorite dish of the night. The bouillon was soooo flavorful. I loved it. The filet mignon was cooked so perfectly. It was so tender that I could cut it with my fork. It came with some sort of mushroom mixture wrapped in swiss chard. SOO GOOD!I was able to taste some other dishes that my brother and sister ordered off the prix fixe menu. We kind of swapped halfway thru just so we could taste it. I’m sure that wasn’t great etiquette in this type of restaurant, but oh well haha.After the dessert course came, there was one more dish which was a trio of tiny one bite desserts. I was sooo stuffed by then that I could barely finish it.I did add that we were celebrating a birthday on my reservation, so they were so kind enough to bring an additional dessert with a candle in it for my sister.All in all, Le Bernadin exceeded my expectations. The service was so friendly and did not make me feel like I was out of place. The food was just so very good. I would definitely come back and dine again.

Maria Roberts: I had an Incredibly special birthday lunch here and it was nothing short of spectacular. The service is of course as to be expected for 2 ⭐️ Michelin restaurant. The team was very attentive and help helpful with menu suggestions. We had the prix fixe lunch menu and enjoyed several different fish dishes between the two of us. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

B P (BDPine): This was end of birthday dining tour in March. Had just eaten at two Michelin one star restaurants each day prior. One in DC, one in NY. Each far superior, even if more casual. We were seated with very nice view of dining room, so we could easily see how we had been forgotten as others seated later progressed past us in long tasting menu. Some dishes were very good , some average, and some below.I initially posted more detail, but interestingly that post seems gone. Power has its privileges.Have had so many better meals since, hard to remember details. That's how much not worth $1,200 plus for dinner and wine for two this is.

Jason L. (WatchYourSix): We always wanted to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant. Go big or go home, so we went right for a 3-star. Ranked in the top 50 in the entire world. That’s pretty impressive.The menu is prix fixe and as we were there for lunch we ate off their lunch prix fixe menu. That included two dishes and a dessert, which was a little unclear on the website. The host or maitre d were pleasant enough. Our wait staff seemed a bit annoyed, which was disappointing. The winner was our sommelier. Their wine menu is VERY overwhelming, but beautifully constructed. He learned what wine we typically enjoy and based on our menu selection recommended a unique and interesting wine we could normally not get in our neck of the woods.Our first course, my wife had the sautéed shrimp and I had the shellfish medley. Both dishes were beautifully plated. My wife’s shrimp were the best prepared shrimp we’ve ever had. Unfortunately my shellfish medley was not that enjoyable. There were elements of it that were nice like the smoked pork dashi broth. However, there was a fishiness to it that prevented the dish from feeling completed.Our main course, my wife had the salmon in a gazpacho consommé. Boom!!! This dish was the winner of our meal. Light, fresh, summery dish that just came together with every bite. I am not a fan of salmon, but this was so meticulously done to perfection. Wow! I ordered the striped bass with stuffed zucchini flowers. I am a sucker for stuffed zucchini flowers and this dish did not disappoint. What looked liked the flower stems were a purée of some kind that really balanced the dish out nicely between the strong mushrooms and the mild fish.Dessert was a superb. My wife opted for the carrot cupcake and I ordered the honey dessert. Yozer wozer!! Beautiful on both counts, but even more impressively delicious.At the end it was a pleasure to meet chef Eric Ripert. He is truly a legend in the kitchen. His restaurant is nothing short of a gastronomical art gallery.

Oliver Sean: Enchanting restaurant between Madison and Park av.We are close to perfection, the 3rd Michelin star is close!!

toffy concepcion: This is a 2* Michelin restaurant owned by one of NY's most legendary chefs. It truly deserves its' status. It was a rainy day and we came early in case of traffic. They accomodated is in the lounge and I had a nice glass of port while I waited for our dinner reservation. Really comfortable chairs and very elegant in a classic building.We had spot prawns tartare which were exquisite with the uni. We also had smoked sable fish vichyssoise with ossetra caviar. The mild sourness of the soup balanced the strong flavor of the fish and the caviar was a highlight.We shared a very rich and intense foie gras that was pre-seared then flambéd table side. This was a highlight of our meal. The soft shell crab tempura had different sauces and accents that elevated the experience.Some of us had swordfish which was a work of art and others a strip loin that even if it was rare, didn't taste bloody and was really tender. I could imagine it was prepared sous vide before it was seared.Dessert was a work of art. We had 3 different plates and forgot the names of the dishes.To end a wonderful night we had chocolate sticks including one our server arranged as a hashtag truly #exquisite.

Gizele Tavares: I had an amazing time and really enjoyed the caviar and cocktails. The service was phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back.Also enjoy with the amazing company the CEO Simon Evans from Stabilice Frozen foundation systems@gizele_.Tavares

Demi Hewitt: The last time I was at Daniel it was before covid. There were inconsistencies in the food that bothered me. On this visit, post covid, Daniel was back. Everything was perfect. There were exciting tastes and presentations. The service was prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable. Not being able to complain about anything, let me mention the dinner.The meal started with three small canapés each made from celery. The most amazing was a celery puree drizzled with a spiced sauce that brought heat and danced on the taste buds.The first course was foie gras, locally sourced, perfectly flavored. The second was scallops done in a manner I have never tasted before. They seem to be layered on potatoes and covered with a green sauce. I wish I could be more specific but I don't remember how the menu described the dishes. The combination of flavors and consistencies of each dish was amazing.The main course was a rib eye of pork flavored with a bacon spiced sauce and it was superb.Finally there was a lemon tart desert beyond compare.Go to Daniel!

Katelyn: This was a very disappointing experience. I had high expectations for this dinner because of the reputation that Daniel Boulud has and French food is one of my favorite cuisines but sadly almost every dish was completely flavorless. The desserts were the best part of the meal but still my boyfriend thought his didn't taste like much. The way that my oyster dish was plated looked like a half eaten plate which was very odd and I was really disappointed that my dover sole was raw and cold in the center. I loved the petits fours and the chocolate selection was cool at the end of the dinner. The take home canelés and the passionfruit vacherin were the best parts of the meal. We got the prix fixe menu and I wonder if it would've been a better experience getting the tasting menu. I'm definitely never coming back though, this was the first time I really regretted eating at a Michelin starred restaurant, I'm confused how it retains 2 stars. There are so many other starred restaurants in New York that I wish we went to instead, especially for over $700. Overall it wasn’t a good experience, the one good aspect was the service, it was actually one of the best that we had received on our New York trip so that helped a little bit at least.

Rogerio Teixeira: The lounge is very comfortable and gives you the feeling of being at their former Cafe Boulud . Great wine list with plenty of fairly priced options.I could eat here everyday. One piece of constructive criticism, there seemed to be some sort of lack of synchronization with serving the wine in the beginning of the evening and I just hoped the bottle had come sooner and the young lady serving, smiled more. Can’t wait to be back!
