Top Notch Place with Top Notch Service! The atmosphere was on point with an upscale vibe but not stuffy. Food delivery and presentation was perfect. Great flavor to our dishes. Will Be Back!
Stunning restaurant & bar with an open kitchen and art deco, warm sunset vibes. AND THERE’S A MARTINI CART! Great for drinks & snacks, both the Comte onion bread & the sesame lavash are to die for and I have to fight people for the last fried artichoke when we order to share. The Circle is their version of a wedge which is so much easier to eat & means the dressing is better distributed. It’s hard to choose an entree with the excellent pastas, the juicy prime rib (sliced in front of you from the cart) and the dry-aged porterhouse are so good! If available, you must get the duck or John Dory specials - both are spectacular. My favorite dessert is the Cloud Cake, light and not too sweet! Would go back again in a heartbeat 👏🏽
Only 4 stars because of the service and the price: the waitress was there only for the first 10 minutes then disappeared, and the food was too expensive (remove $3 per plate will be more adequate).
Nice place and location/atmosphere, really cool and cozy. Well received and started well. Food was good and very tasty. The steak was precooked as it was too cooked outside. Else was delicious. Cocktails were good and flavorful. Service after taking the order was almost not existing.

This is a unique spot and I truly recommend for everyone to visit. First of all, the place is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and cocktails are exceptional. It’s was truly remarkable and memorable to have a professional mixologist, a sommelier, and a captain to wait on my wife and I throughout the entire dining experience. Lastly, a short walk to the New York Palace hotel it’s just a great bonus.
1st want to start off by saying if you want a table side experience do not ask to be seated upstairs. We chose to sit upstairs because it’s more intimate and of course for the pink décor & furniture. Once we placed our order for the prime rib we were told table side isn’t available because there was no way to have the cart brought upstairs which now I realize that I could have went without the prime rib because it was very dry and tasteless, other than that I would definitely recommend the soft shell crab and onion bread which melts in your mouth soooo good. The drinks are very strong I had the XXX20TH very tasty cute and just enough alcohol and also comes with a Rose’ Champagne Ice ball. I will definitely be back and maybe try a different cut of Steak.
The food was pretty good. The coffee was okay. Service was so so. Based on the reviews it seems like this is the overlying issue. For example we had to repeat our coffee orders a couple of times. Otherwise the decor and ambiance is super pretty.
Could be a good spot for drinks after work. Service was fine as well (felt a bit pushy as multiple ppl kept asking us if we want drinks even after we ordered another) Food was on salty side. We glad we orders bread with chives. It was warm and tasty. Stake tarter came with cooked egg not raw and heavy on capers and non meat products than we are used to. Also attention to details could be improved on decor: bathroom tiles were broken/had multiple holes, some menu was damaged. If it is casual restaurants, those are not deterrent. But since it is really stylized place, these details impacted the overall feel. Good to see midtown being revived.
Came here for dinner as a party of 4 for Saturday evening. I absolutely loved the ambiance of this place. It was modern, contemporary and reminded me of a restaurant I would find in Miami. The drinks were on point. I had the XXX 20th and I loved it.
For food, I had the salmon which was seasoned pretty well. The cauliflower gratin for my side was absolutely wonderful. So much so that I forgot to take a pic! I was slightly disappointed with the 30 day dry aged steak. I stole a few bites from my boyfriend's plate and I thought it could have had more flavor to it. The bananas foster for dessert was definitely a highlight, including how it is prepared and flambeed right in front of you!
