We went to Tableside for a late Valentines Date and got the best corner seat in the house! The cheese + meat board was amazing, as well as the Truffle Moneybags (SO GOOD!). The service was a bit slow but I think there was only one waiter as it was late on a Monday night. I would recommend this if you're looking for a cozy spot with a rustic yet hip vibe. More

I arrived dinner extremely late after some inconvenient accident. The host there is kind enough to seat me and me extra time to finish and enjoy the 5 courses meal. The food is wonderful and service is just as good. More

This is one of my girlfriends’ and my favorite spot for some good old fashioned Italian food. We came here with our friend who loves this place as much as us. We obviously got the pasta limón and the chicken parm. Yes simple plates but amazing flavor. We usually only come here for the burrata but there was none this day we went. Anyway, this place never disappoints. More

The food is great and the staff were very friendly. I’m only giving 4 stars because I ordered the lamb medium rare and it came out medium well (I felt bad to return it but didn’t consume it all). The sardines had too many thick bones I couldn’t eat that dish either but they were very nice to refund when they noticed they weren’t touched. Overall enjoyed the food thoroughly, the haloumi and Greek salad were amazing! More

Great food with an ambiance that differs from traditional omakase venues in that they play EDM and radio hits (perfect for when you want to bring a date and don't want to be pigeon-holed into a TOO intimate setting). Service was also wonderful. More

My husband and I absolutely adored Porsena! It was exactly as advertised online. It felt like we had just stepped off a busy street in Florence and found this amazing little Osteria. We had such a romantic and delicious time. We are already looking for another date to come back. Thank you for making our Valentine’s dinner so special. More

The brunch is amazing, and best value in town! Our server was seriously delightful, even though they were super busy. And the pasta is out of this world. I'm a brunch person but couldn't say no to the homemade pasta and it was the best choice. Will be going back again and again. More

Being early by 15 mins on a cold winter day. The staff didn’t invite us in for drinks but rather stated that the restaurant isn’t open for another 15mins. Had to wait outside which was rather thoughtless and left a sour taste on the reception. Food was mediocre as it wasn’t as flavorful as a it should have been. Quite disappointing with the exception of the starters that came with the meal. More

OpenTable Diner -
Excellent experience. Food was scrumptious and beautifully presented. Atmosphere was pleasant and cozy. Service was excellent. Only negative criticism was that the portions were extremely small given the price point. This was more the case with appetizers and especially desserts. With that said, we would definitely return. Absolutely delicious! More

Very Thai is a cute little restaurant that is very good to have in the neighborhood, and could be great with some tweaks. The place has nice glowing lighting at night and tables are not too close so you can have a quiet conversation and not be privy to someone else's, which is often the case in East Village restaurants. The soft rock music played also created a soothing atmosphere from what you normally find around here. Only problem with the quiet is you can hear all the goings on in the kitchen, which is ok in a take out joint, but doesn't quite fit with the vibe that they're going for here. This seems to be a family endeavor, and the service is very friendly and gracious as though you are eating in someone's home. We started with the papaya salad which was fresh, colorful and crunchy and had a bright, nicely pungent dressing. We tried the duck roll which was beautifully presented and tasty, but we wished there was more sauce offered with it, as it ate a bit dry. The best dish was the shrimp fried basil rice, with it's lovely presentation of garnishes, and redolent with complex flavors. The vegetable massaman curry was also vibrant with colorful crunchy vegetables in an bright orange coconut sauce, and though well seasoned, it was too sweet and that was not what I wanted. Appreciated that there was brown rice on offer to go with it though. Portions here are ample. I would come back some time to try some of the interesting fish dishes on offer. More

The food was so good! We had a mishap with a meal and they didn't charge us for it. The waitresses were super friendly and helpful. Happy hour is 5-9 with BOGO free. There are three floors, two of which have dancefloors with DJs. Doesnt get crazy until about 10:30pm. They open at 5pm. We will be back! More

My overall rating was 4 stars. It did not seem like the staff communicated in the beginning of my time at the establishment. About 4 different waitresses approached me about if I was ready to order after telling the first waitress that I was waiting for someone to arrive before ordering. Another waitress attempted to seat another party in my booth--while I was there--as well. While they apologized, it was definitely unorthodox. Nonetheless, the food, subsequent service, hookah, ambiance, and music were all good. I will be visiting again soon. More

Born and raised in South Korea, Chef Soogil Lim was originally majoring in Biology. His interest in culinary world was sparked when he went into a restaurant and saw a sign that said “Make People Happy.” It prompted him to research culinary education and enter the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Upon graduation, he began his training in French cuisine at Daniel, one of New York’s most acclaimed fine dining restaurants. Through his hard work and great talent, he was able to move up the ranks and become the first Korean Sous Chef in the restaurant’s history. After working for 7 years under Chef Daniel Boulud (three as Sous Chef) and honing his French technique, he became Executive Chef at Hanjan, where he ran the kitchen for 4 years. With the opening of his own restaurant, Chef Soogil Lim will blend the two backgrounds he knows best: French and Korean.More

Discover East Village
The East Village was once the heart of New York counterculture. Poets, artists, punk rockers and people who lived against the grain gravitated to St. Mark’s Place, perhaps the most well-known street neighboring Tompkins Square Park. Today, the original character of the place remains, but there’s an abundance of trendy eateries and fast-casual restaurants that take some of the edge out of the place. Still, charming tiny restaurants serving upscale, rustic fare add dimension to the multilayered neighborhood.
