- DDavideNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoOur dining experience at Frevo was truly exceptional. Both the food and service were outstanding, and the wine pairing elevated the meal to another level. Every course was beautifully executed, showcasing both creativity and precision. If I were to offer one critique, I would suggest that the black truffle agnolotti—offered as an additional option at $55—be included in the overall price of the tasting experience, as it feels like a natural complement to the already expensive menu. (235$ per person) Additionally, we were mistakenly charged $70 for a sea urchin supplement in one of the courses, that we hadn’t requested. However, once we brought it to their attention, the staff handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and promptly removed it from the check. Overall, this was a memorable and refined dining experience, and Frevo remains one of my favorite Michelin-starred restaurants I have tried.More infoFrevoPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary European• Greenwich Village•5
- TThomasNew York City •20 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was good but not outstanding and the wine was just OK. We tried 3 reds by the glass and only the Malbec was any good. The mushroom consomme sounded amazing but was more like a salty onion soup with a few mushrooms thrown in. Don't choose it. The price to quality ratio was high even for NYC. The ambiance is lovely, though someone should teach the pianist how to play "Take Five". I'd recently eaten at a 1 star Michelin place in Paris, and the last place my friend and I dined was Le Coucou here in the city. Both were much better at a lower price.More infoOne if by Land, Two if by SeaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Greenwich Village•4.5
- JJoanVIPNew York City •20 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoAlways a treat... food, ambiance and service were excellent. We were there for restaurant week and the only disappointment was that the steak did not come with anything. I can understand charging extra for sides, but at least put a bit of parsley or garnish on the plate.More infoDelmonico'sPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Financial District•4.7

- MmatthewVIPNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 25, 2025Give the Village Hall another try!! I'm a SOMA resident and have been to the Village Hall a handful of times, each time a little disappointed by some aspect of the experience. But after last night, I can honestly say I was happily impressed. After some subtle and not-so-subtle changes, I think they have finally gotten it right. It was a Friday night. They had a tasteful jazz trio playing. Not too distracting for conversation, but also not just bland background music; they were very good. Acoustics are amazing! They've made tasteful changes to the main dining space making it much cozier. Among them: a new seating arrangement with a long, leather seating unit that divides the space nicely (before it was just a huge, open space with sparse tables and chairs and it just didn't work); they painted the ceiling a ruby red, which, combined with the dark-blue leather seating/booths, made it feel super inviting. Combine that with the features that were already in place and I just loved being there. For the meal, I started out with a drink on the specials list (Winter Spritz with fig and mint). For the app, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp and then the Short Rib Pappardelle pasta as my main. Both were bursting with flavor, complex, and absolutely delicious. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce made it one the better pasta dishes I've had anywhere for quite some time. I will definitely be making a trip back soon specifically for that order. (SUGGESTION: My only suggestion is to forgo the smaller app plates for something larger. Not to get more food, but to allow for more space so that when you scoop portions it doesn't fall off the edges of the plate.) The service was never rushed but efficient and polite from beginning to end. We are often quick to discount local restaurants or give up on them after one bad experience. I would encourage everyone to give VH another try. After my experience last night, I will 100% be going back for more.More infoVillage Hall TavernPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American• South Orange•3.9
