   This was our first time at One it by Land Two if by Sea. We booked it to celebrate our elopement in Central Park. Words cannot describe how delicious our meal was. First, they had a beautiful bouquet of white roses and rose petals on the table when we arrived. They also brought us complementary glasses of champagne. The meal itself was out of this world and truly one of the best meals we’ve ever had. My husband had the New York strip, and it was the best he’s ever had. I had the octopus as an appetizer and the rack of lamb for my meal and both truly were also the best I’ve ever had. If there were 10 stars, I would give it 10 stars. Thank you to the staff for making our day so special!

   My criterion when I evaluate a restaurant is whether I would go back a second time. In this case the answer is no. There were several issues First, they offered us seating in a dark part of the room where we could barely see one another. The preferred tables were reserved for other customers who had not yet arrived. They did seat us in a different section that was somewhat better lit. The prices of everything we ordered were inflated. After being charged $155 for a 3 course meal we were charged $12 for a bottle of sparkling water and $12 for a cup of tea. I was given an option of either English Breakfast or Earl Gray. I asked for the Earl Gray and was served a cup of peppermint tea without the lemon I requested. A glass of Sancerre was $21. The food was no better than average. My Beef Wellington was served well done when I requested medium rare. My wife’s rack of lamb was “okay”. Appetizers and dessert were very good but the main course was a disappointment Finally, the recommendations for the tip included the tax in the calculation. This was stated clearly on the check but the tip should be based on the cost of the food only. Service otherwise was very good, the room was beautiful, and there was live, lovely piano music that added to the romantic atmosphere. In sum, the food was not a good value and I felt that the additional charges were excessive.

   Had an amazing experience. Such a beautiful and elegant place. I can really say that was very romantic and had an intimate ambience. Big chandeliers, candles and flowers- such a vibe. We really had a blast. Sasha was very professional, sweet and helpful with every question we had. Will be back again for sure! It’s a bit pricey but very worth it for a special occasion.

    I took my family to celebrate my anniversary-I'd taken my wife here 19 years ago to propose. It was fantastic then, and it's fantastic now. I remembered the ambience as being muted and romantic-it hasn't changed, notwithstanding my family was dining rather than just my wife and I. The service was impeccable-the wait staff spot on in attending to needs without being overbearing. The food was amazing: The chef's tasting menu of 3 items allows for you to choose from various items, from which my family had different selections. We were able to taste many of the different choices, and without exception they were all delightful and an experience. All of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to you all.
