    We have eaten in restaurants in many parts of the world. In my humble opinion, the service we experienced at Aretsky’s patroon was superior to any restaurant, including Michelin Star restaurants. I don’t have enough superlatives to describe the food and service; from the wait staff, the restaurant owner, and the general manager. Thank you so very much for a wonderful dining experience.

    Based on a recommendation from a friend, I was treated to a really good meal with some surprises. The old fashioned was superb, it even came with a single block of ice. On this evening a softshell crab was on the menu with sauteed spinach and by request, onion rings. While I was enjoying my dinner out comes a trolley for another great treat, a hand made Caesar Salad. It was very enjoyable evening even though theor cigar lounge was closed for a private event.

    Midtown’s top combination of fine, French-accented New American cuisine and impeccably coordinated service, in a setting of relaxed elegance (flattering lighting!), with the gracious hospitality of Stéphane, ever watchful and charming, alongside the warm welcome of Gene. It’s the grand finale of every NYC visit for us, where we’re treated like weekly regulars despite being annual guests. This time, we swooned over the grilled seafood salad and the lobster & heart of palm “pasta.” Bonus: their sommelier is both deeply knowledgeable and refreshingly down-to-earth — a rare and helpful combination.

    Great for business dinners. Outstanding food. The wine advice was very sensible and good. Various members of the family that owns the restaurant came by to introduce themselves, despite it being a very busy evening. Very nice people. Unlike most of the typical business dining spots (particularly steak houses), they did not rush us out. I will definitely return.

    Loud and so over priced. We waited over an hour for our food and it showed up cold. Not to mention it’s over priced by 2x the standard in the area. Very disappointed. You’d h the ink if a $200 steak shows up cold they’d give a hoot. Nope!
