Peasant
What Insiders Are Saying
A bit more touristy and a bit more parent-y than we remember, but Peasant still has a few home run dishes worth visiting for.
Great setting, dim lighting, exposed brick kitchen in back, everything on the menu was delicious and our waitress made the night. Will definitely be back very soon!!
Had a wonderful time. Food was as good as every other time I’d gone. Service was attentive and friendly
I think Peasant is quite underrated. It's a lovely restaurant with great atmosphere and delicious food. The wine pairings are always good and the menu diverse. I appreciate that there aren't simply one or two seafood options but are instead multiple choices for those of us pescatarians. The meat dishes look hearty and delicious too.
Absolutely amazing!! Wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. He made great food and wine suggestions. Everything we ordered was wonderful!!!!!! Will definitely make a return trip to this restaurant next time we are inNew York .
The impeccable service is only surpassed by the incredible food. The entire experience is memorable: from the friendly hostess to the warm, inviting dining room. The menu is varied and delicious and you can’t beat their desserts! I love, love, love this place!
Feels like being in Italy, not NY!!!
Awesome experience!!!!!
Menu was varied and interesting; wild boar, rabbit, hen and includes the usual staples; which were all well-prepared and delicious. YUM! Both thumbs up!
Had a great time as always! Love the food and wine list. Staff is friendly and helpful!
great restaurant however we were seated in the back where there was a cold draft coming from the ceiling that they could not explain which made it very uncomfortable while eating dinner, especially on such a cold night! so unfortunate since the service, food and ambience were great as was the cellar bar with great music after dinner
Always a stand-out. the wood-burning ovens are visually-attractive and produce phenomenal food. Keep it up!
Wonderful night
Extremely loud , and seating is so close it felt as if we were on a date with the people around us. Good was good, although stay away from the duck. Super salty - shared my lamb chops with my date instead. Waiter was great.
Had a drink in the downstairs bar, then dinner upstairs. Food was amazing! When I made the reservation, I put "birthday dinner " in the special requests. Upon confirming my reservation, they said your server would bring out dessert with a candle. Unfortunately, that was not communicated and we had to ask. Otherwise, our server was amazing and we had a terrific dinner!
Incredible experience! The ambiance at Peasant is always so cozy especially on these frigid evenings. Decadent comfort food at its finest.
Great! One of my favorite spots. Grab dinner here regularly. Great food. Management and staff are always excellent.
Seriously the most delicious gnocchi I’ve ever had in my life. And I always order gnocchi. Love this place!
Went for an anniversary dinner after I saw Peasant on a list of "romantic" restaurants. Perhaps should've called to reserve a better table, as we were seated against the wall -- one person on a bench seat next to other diners and the other person in a chair. Not a romantic set-up. Food was pretty good but not remarkable.
Second time here; another great meal. The lamb chops, with polenta, are the best ever--so flavorful!
We had the best waiter, Andrea, who couldn't have been more charming if he tried. Baby octopus was a great app. Only complaint is the two-tops are too close. Felt like a communal table. For $42 an entree, I'd appreciate more than 12 inches between me and the next table....
I always order fish and I’m always disappointed with a dried up fillet or the size of the portion. The fish options at peasant were on point. I ordered the whole sea bream which was not only XL, but also perfectly grilled and so insanely delicious. I’ll be coming back here just for that dish, although I eyed some amazing looking pastas and grilled seafood on other tables. Food is just amazing. The service was excellent as well. Impressive place.
Very good food, though a bit on the pricy side for some of the extras (salads, soups, etc.). Still, amazing quality food and great service with an old world feel. I will say it was quite loud to the point it was difficult to hear across the table.
Amazing Cuisine and attentive service during our Birthday dinner for a party of five.
Food was incredible. Staff beyond professional- great to be around!
It's lovely inside, the food was good, but not exceptional. When I saw rabbit lasagna on the menu, I was so happy, but it disappointed. It was swimming in a bechamel sauce and the pasta, which was tasty, was much too thick for my taste, more pasta than filling. My husband got the baby hen and he said it was fine but nothing special. Pricing was on par for the neighborhood. We also found the sound level made conversation almost impossible. We might consider returning some afternoon for pizza (they had a gorgeous wood fired oven) if the place looks less crowded. Service was very good.
Food delicious as always. Service lacked. Love coming to Peasant for the food the feel of the room and the service. I only got 2 out of 3 this go around. Started with our water which we with no ice because of teeth sensitivity,promptly brought ice water. Had to flag our server down to order. Table was extremely wobbly I had to stand for it to get fixed. Couldn't get his attention for the check, I had to stop him as he walked through the dining room looking at his phone. Was told our payment (Discover) wasnt accepted even though we used the same card to pay for drinks at the bar. He said "the bartender made a mistake." Not the service I'm used to there left bummed
All around exceptional. My family and I dine out all the time and we’re truly blown away by the attentive staff, incredible food, and warm atmosphere. Just go.
Delicious food, wine and very knowledgeable and attentive staff!
Great.. service was awesome!
Great food. Great service.
Creative and sophisticated menu!! ( it always makes you want to order every single dish out of it!! ) I have been here so many times but have never been turn down on anything!
Wonderful staff as usually!! Coming on a Sunday night this time, it was less crowd and more quiet. It felt like coming home for a relaxing and satisfied dinner.
Love Peasant, hate the seating. It's like dinning with all of New York, tables are way to close. You can't have a private conversation. Ruins the dinning experience.
New Years!
Getting a little tired in the sense that the menu does not evolve. Wanted to order appetizers before we had decided on our mains, and that was not allowed by the chef. Still a go to place but would be good to shake some things up a bit.
Excellent service, good food , waiter was a delight- think his name was Andrea
Sent the food back
Very nice place. Service was wonderful. Food was delicious. Plenty of choices on the menu to satisfy everyone’s tastes.
Even if you're a pasta snob, Peasant won't disappoint. Pasta is all home made and tastes great. The food all around was excellent and service was very good as well. We did have to wait 15 to 20 minutes to be seated, even though we had a reservation. The staff apologized and bought us a drink, which was nice. Overall experience was very, very good. I am definitely going back and would recommend it to a friend.
Made us wait. No vibe. Didn’t play music. Food is decent.
We came to Peasant for our first Christmas dinner 2 years ago when we started dating. We came back tonight for our 2 year anniversary! The food was outstanding, atmosphere rustic and seasonal, and our waitress was top notch! To end our anniversary dinner we got a shot on the house at the bar. We can’t wait to bring our friends and family with us next time for a great meal and a great time!
Obscenely loud.
