A word from Petrossian - New York

Owned by the Petrossians, it serves a French-influenced contemporary menu that features the caviar, smoked fish,… and foie gras delicacies for which Petrossian is known throughout the world.

Diner Reviews

"Coming inside the beautiful building, we had expected better service from this fancy restaurant. While there were more than 70% tables still available, our table of 5 got seated next to the kitchen door. New people were seated at the inside tables. Service was mediocre, and non attentive, with the annoyance of bumping into one of us coming in / out of the table. Especially with hot soups that they have to hand hold instead of using a tray. Food matched what was expected but did not wow us to want to come back or to pay their full price for."

"Walking by its impressive doors,I was always owed by the possibility of dining there. Restaurant week provided the opportunity to enjoy a very elegant, dignified and delicious lunch with a friend. The staff was gracious and welcoming; the food was delicious and the service, excellent!"

"I used to rate Petrossian outstanding, but the grumpy hostess who took our coats at the door and the less attentive waiters than I remember made the experience a little less special this time. Granted, it was late, we were one of 2 tables left and we were taking our time, but I couldn't help noticing they were dying for us to leave - not what you want from a $320 dinner for two. It's an intimate beautiful room that says "old New York" and I would still recommend it for an elegant champagne and caviar brunch treat, but I'll never go again for dinner."

"Our first experience ever, we tried Petrossian during restaurant week and were very happy we did. The restaurant is lovely,, the food is excellent, the service was attentive, professional yet welcoming and pleasant. Since it was a late after-the-theatre dinner, we cannot comment on the bar scene or lunch/brunch but would have no hesitancy in going anytime."

"A major disappointment. Food was mediocre and overpriced. Atmosphere was from the 1950's. Service was acceptable, but nothing special."
Dined on 2/27/2014
"We went during the restaurant week. As many other reviewers said before, food was good. Service was very week, we felt we are in Europe of 10 years ago, where the waiters are proud to ignore those annoying tourists. Another detail worth mentioning is that the restaurant week menu was not really what we were offered in the restaurant. The place chose to follow their regular pre-fix menu which had supplement charges. So, go at your own risk and expect surprises on your bill."

"Smoked salmon was excellent; sea bass was delicious; arctic char was very good; sorbet unusual and delicious. We loved the convenience to Carnegie Hall and would eat there again on a special occasion."

"We were five for lunch and I believe all enjoyed. The prix fixe menu had good choices. Service was very good, the way it ought to be, and we were able to converse easily."

"I went there during the NYC Restaurant Week. Prefixe was a good deal- you get appetizer, main dish and dessert for $38, which is usually $48. We were seated at a tiny table located right next to the entrance door. A wind kept coming in, and it was a cold day. The service was terrible as well. Even before we put down silverware, a waiter came and pick up the plates. Moreover, while we were having dessert, waiters were rearranging the tables right next to us. They set up a big table, and it was obvious that we need to leave in order to finish the setting. Then waiters were standing by the table staring at us. So we left as soon as we could- would never go back. Oh, food!? It was okay."

"I went there with my friends on Sunday night during the restaurant weekend. Environment is very good, service is good, only the dessert,pineapple cake was a little bit disappointed me, brownie is good."
Dined on 2/23/2014
"The worst upscale restaurant I've been to in NYC. Staff scrambled around trying to serve the same tables; 5 waiters served us. After we were shown to our 2nd table (the first had not been cleared), one came over at least 5 mins later and said "did you get menus yet?". 90% of my entrée was raw. My partner opted for the brownie for dessert because it did not list coconut as an accompaniment - he is allergic. When it arrived it was coated in coconut. The waiter of the moment suggested he order the 2nd dessert, which i pointed out had coconut listed in the menu. He got dessert 10 minutes later after i'd finished mine. Caviar is the specialty but waiters didn't know what 1oz of it looked like. Go to The Russian Tea Room instead."

"There are so many better French restaurants in Manhattan."

"I went for restaurant week. I loved the cauliflower soup with truffle oil and smoked salmon. Everything else on the menu was average, not bad but nothing special."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"Both my companion's arctic char and my roasted sturgeon were very good. The small serving of fettuccine with my fish was extraordinarily good, with a creamy sauce of fresh tomatoes and greens. Her smoked salmon was some of the best ever. High priced, but worth the splurge."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"Given the reviews, we expected much more. Service was non-attentive. Glassware was dirty. Food was mediocre. Beautiful decor and quiet atmosphere big pluses."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"This place has wonderful menu, the fish that I ordered came out perfectly, but I was so impressed with their saute shrimp and mixed green salad, I always thought salad is salad, and so many restaurants I've been to, this salad was THE only one I'm still thinking about it."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"We have been coming here for the past several years, before concerts at Carnegie Hall. The food has always been good and the atmosphere conducive to conversation. Based on two visits in 2014, the food has improved from good to outstanding. The prix-fixe pre-theater menu is a good value."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"Dinner at Petrossian is a special experience. Our recent Valenitne's Day dinner there was memorable. The food was excellently prepared and beautifully presented. A special is sturgeon which is not a fish we see often on menus although it is know for caviar. It was prepared with a light sauce. The scallops with risotto were tender and delicious. The chocolate cake was lovely, but we felt could have used vanilla ice cream rather than chocolate to cut the sweetness. Overall, it was a meal we will remember and talk about."

"Really enjoyed the experience....elegant but relaxed ambiance , superb food. Great choice for those whom want a classic fine restaurant."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"This is the fifth or sixth time I've eaten at this restaurant, and it is one of my absolute favorites! The food is always very, very good (the only reason I don't give it the fifth star is that it isn't tremendously inventive. I have never had anything that wasn't excellent, nor have I ever had anything that made me think "what an inspired combination -- I never would have though of that!") But I don't think that is what they aim for here (new/creative combinations of tastes and textures, I mean). Perhaps it's because I usually order from the Prix fixe menu. Still, I will go out of my way to come back!! Also: the staff. Extremely professional and polite -- attentive without hovering. And I love the wonderful Art Deco decor!"
Dined on 2/12/2014
"This is our favorite restaurant for dining before the concert. It is always calm so that we can talk and the food is excellent. On this occasion the service was not up to the quality of the food and the ambience."

"Petrossian is truly a gem; well worth a visit. Highly recommended."
Dined on 2/12/2014
"The meal and ambiance were truly outstanding. We both enjoyed our dishes - Chilean sea bass and lobster risotto. Lovely wine list. I did not think it was at all overpriced for this level of quality in NYC. Portions were perfect."
Dined on 2/10/2014
"The brunch at Petrossian was extremely enjoyable and suitable for a birthday as was the case for both of us in attendance. We both ordered pancakes and crabcakes. Both were excellent. We actually like brunch was over after the pancake appetizer, but had no trouble with the main course. The deserts were very enjoyable (blueberry coffee cake and chocolate mousse cake). These were perfectly suitable for the celebration. The service was very attentive. I would definitely recommend Petrossian for an elegant brunch experience."

"A gem, the restaurant is located in the most beautiful building in New York City, original art nouveau decor, baccarat crystal chandeliers, Russian/french food, caviar and champagne.. great for special occasions you are transported to the glamorous 20's in paris where Russian aristocrat mix with french bohemians, old new york secret worth of rediscovery by the hip new yorkers. feels like woody Allen's Midnight in Paris"

"Please was dead and with good cause. There was no good reason to go there except, perhaps, to fall asleep. Food was only okay. Service was too slow for a place so unbusy. Would not go back."
Dined on 1/30/2014
"We celebrated my son's birthday with friends. The place is pretty but things seemed dated. The menu choices were all right. The menus were dirty -- should create some new ones. The service was exceptional but the food was disappointing. Too bad . . ."
Dined on 5/17/2013
"Would highly recommend the Salmon Roe over the black caviar. Salmon Roe are large, with plenty of pop. Inexpensive black caviar is ten times more costly, small, with almost no pop. Didn't try the more expensive black caviar, but it's twenty times as expensive as the luscious salmon roe. Salmon roe served with yummy Russian pancakes (blinis) and tasty Crème Fraiche. Have with vodka straight, for a wonderful taste experience! Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the entrees -- Dover sole and Lobster Risotto were both superbly flavored. Service was very attentive -- top notch."
Dined on 1/22/2014
"Of course the prime reason to eat here is for the caviar tasting but we did just as well by substituting the salmon sampler and came out way ahead when the bill arrived. Salmon comes in five varieties from roe to smoked. Fish entrees are very good, notably scallops topped with a shaving of black truffle and sea bass crisply grilled and rolled over like a roulade. Competent wait staff and good drinks. Desserts could be punched up a bit; the coffee and caramel cake is pretty bland."
Dined on 1/18/2014
"Food was fantastic. Service was impeccable. Price was reasonable. Caviar, caviar, caviar!"
Dined on 1/14/2014
"If you like caviar you won't be disappointed. If you want to mix up your caviar a bit with some interesting plates, this is not the place for you. Last decorated in about 1973 and pleasantly for my 47th birthday I was by far the youngest diner in the restaurant. Better go to Caviar Russe unless you crave nostalgia of the kitsch kind."

"We were visiting for our anniversary and ate a late lunch there. The service and the food were super!"
Dined on 1/10/2014
"This was our first visit and we just arrived before the kitchen closed (following a 3.5 hr opera at Lincoln Center) There has been a blizzard that evening and the staff was understandably anxious to go home so we felt a bit rushed. Food was very good especially the sampler of smoked fish and caviar appetizer. Excellent wine list. Will certainly return at a more reasonable dining hour to have a more accurate impression."

"I was not served the dish I ordered but the problem was quickly resolved."
Dined on 1/5/2014
"A friend and I decided to bring kick off the first of the Year in style and hope the year continues with more of the same. After a delicious choice of caviars paired with a tasty and not pricey champagne, we enjoyed a marvelous warm fois gras and finished off the evening with a Dover Sole..."
Dined on 1/1/2014
"The meals are not unreasonable but the caviar is very costly."
Dined on 12/30/2013
"We celebrated our 30th anniversary here and couldn't have chosen a better place. The food and service were superb. We especially enjoyed the extensive caviar selection and the numerous sizes of the servings. We both enjoyed the perfectly prepared duck breast and the wine list was limited but excellent."
