Artist Sinem Disli invites you to dine under the stars. We are bringing the starlight indoors with the help of 33 handmade iridescent yellow light fixtures, arranged artfully with a gentle slope of the night sky. The yellowish-white color has been declared to be the average color of the universe in 2009, after the scientists had analyzed the light from 200.000 galaxies, formed by stars individually indistinguishable by the naked eye. The artist captured that warm beige shade with yellow LED lights in 6 different sizes, which are then arranged in the shapes of 33 constellations. Blue iridescent bulbs, sprinkled throughout, represent 12 zodiac constellations and 55 golden candle holders complete the p

Hello, thank you so much for your 5 star review
Ayza’s outdoor dining was warm, clean, and all around amazing. The service and the vibes are both great. Made a reservation for a group of 6, able to all sit together and enjoy a stellar selection of wine and unique food.
Hi Hannah, Thank you for your feedback and the 5 star review
Outdoor dining was cozy and warm. Service was excellent! Will return next time I’m in the city.
Hi Teresa, Thank you for your 5 star review and the kind words.
It's a very nice experience! Would love to go again!
Hi Jocelyn, thank you for your review. We'd love to see you again..
The holiday decorations were so beautiful!!!! The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Perfect for a long day after work.
Hello from Ayza, Glad to see you enjoyed dining with us. Hope to see you back.
Absolutely loved the service and happy hour! Would recommend as an outdoor dining experience as it is pretty warm with the heaters and felt completely safe. Would definitely recommend the tropical sangria! For food, we had the white truffle pizza, avocado fries, Wagyu burger, and angry chicken lollipops - all were tasty and would revisit to try again. LOVED the chocolate molten lava cake with the ice cream - the best I have ever tasted.
Hello from Ayza, thank you very much for your feedback and the 5 star review. Hope to see you back..
Ayza has done a good job of meeting Covid requirements while still allowing you to enjoy your meal.
Hello from Ayza, thank you for your review..
Amazing outdoor space, warm but still ventilated, and divided with plexiglass.
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your 5 star review. I certainly take a note of your special request. We will work on it..
We had brunch outdoor on a December Sunday during COVID times. The outdoor heated seating was really great. We were comfortable in the outdoor area and didn't need our jackets because the heating was so nice. The tables were separated by hanging dividers and it felt like they made the most of the space that they had, while being safe and distant. It was a little weird that you had to order your food from the hostess area, even though they would still bring everything to your table, but we didn't mind doing that. We had a great time and I'd definitely recommend this spot, especially for outdoor dining in the winter. Just to note, the brunch portions were a little small, but we each got a dish and then shared something and it was perfect.
Hi Alison, Thank you very much for your feedback and the comments.. Greatly appreciated.. look forward to seeing you back at Ayza..
They do a great job with all the COVID restrictions. Happy hour was fun and they were very attentive.
Hi Steve, Hello from Ayza, thank you for your kind review.. We hope to see you again..
Took myself out for a lovely brunch at Ayza. Mulled wine with some mindblowing french toast was just what the doctor ordered on a lovely winter afternoon.
Hello from Ayza, Your review made me smile. Fun way to describe our food. thank you so much for your 5 star review..
Oh so where should I begin.... First of all we had reservations @ 9 and had to wait at least 15 minutes to be seated. Keep in mind that ALL dining shuts down at 10pm due to COVID. Well we ordered all of our food at one time, and did this quickly as we were pressed for time. It was getting close to 10 and we reminded the lady who was taking orders that we still had not received our chocolate fondue. She told us no worries that we would get it shortly. At 10 pm our check was brought to the table. We again, stated that we had not received our fondue, which was listed on our check and would not settle our bill until it was brought to us or removed from the total. She stated no worries we will get that right out. We received our fondue @ 10:15. Someone who appeared to be the manager came to our table and rudely stated that we needed to finish in FOUR MINUTES and leave. Excuse me, what??
This has to be the most unprofessional establishment I have ever been in, COVID or not. Maybe you should not take reservations beyond 830 pm to ensure your patrons receive their food and are treated with courtesy when dropping $200 for your food and NO service which was what we received.
I apologize for not getting this right. Clearly, this isn't our norm, and not what you hoped for. We've already held a meeting and taken precautions to better ourselves as a company and to improve our customer experiences in similar situations. If you allow me I'd like to extend you a gift for your next visit. Can you pls email me at zaf@ayzanyc.comm. I'd appreciate if you give us another chance to make this right. I wish you and your family health through this pandemic Happy holidays
Disappointed in the order process. Instead of walking to the ENTRANCE and placing you order, you should be able to order from your table. Also for a crazy expensive espresso martini it could have been a whole lot better. I've had way better ones elsewhere. The pinch of coffee grounds was kinda stupid. I won't be be back.
Hi Patrick, thank you for your feedback and the review. We are working on the touchless new system and we are planning on implanting it hopefully next year. I am sorry to hear about the espresso martini. Can you please email me at zaf@ayzanyc.comm , I'd like to extend you a small gift for your next visit if you allow me.
Everything was delicious, especially drinks. Would recommend raspberry and peppermint chocolate martinis , they are the best
Hi Alexandra, Hello from Ayza, thank you so much for your 5 star review..
Made a birthday reservation here this past weekend and was greeted with a delicious glass of sparkling white wine. The place itself was beautiful with the lights set up like constellations. We only had truffle fries which were pretty good. The drinks were a little bit expensive. I'd recommend the chocolate martini on their happy hour menu - it was delicious. We also had a lychee martini which was okay in my opinion. This is the only restaurant/bar I've found to have the Boschendal from South Africa and if you would care to pay 3x its price for a nice night I totally recommend it.
Hello, thank you for your feedback..Hope to see you again
I had a wonderful time! The raspberry chocolate martini is amazing. Portions were small for the price but overall loved the entire experience.
HI Laris, Hello from Ayza, thank you so much for your 5 star. We are happy to see you had a good time dining at Ayza.
Loved the mulled wine and the lavender martini. These are a few of my favorite things from

Co workers birthday
Hi Beckie, thank you so much for your 5 star review..
Came back a second time after Zaf reached out to me. Amazing service. He personally checked-in with us to make sure everything was good and was so friendly. Drinks and desserts were delicious and got the chance to sit in the garden which has a beautiful ambience. Highly recommend as a date spot or girls night out. Thank you!!
Hi Ellen, thank you for giving us another chance.. Hope to see you again..
Had a pleasant and relaxing experience. We had the charcuterie/cheese board, a tasting of many different chocolates and chocolate martinis to top it off! Everything was great
Hello, Thank you for your 5 star review. Happy to see you enjoyed dining with us. Hope to see you back again..
I was thoroughly pleased with the food, cocktails and dessert. The atmosphere however was disappointing for the price point. I felt like I dined in a small dark cement rectangle with Christmas lights. The tables were wobbly and the chairs were ragtag. I'm not sure if this is only because of COVID but the atmosphere was very disappointing.
Hi Melissa, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment. Current Roadside dining is a temporarily structure that we had to build to keep our guests warm. Now we are working on a very cool project, we hope to bring it to life in 2 weeks. It is a surprise:)) Can you pls send me an email at zaf@ayzanyc.comm, i ' d like to send you a small gift for your next visit if you allow me so you can have the experience of this new structure we have been working on.. Best
I had the most amazing birthday experience here. It is outdoor so do prepare if you get cold easily but the heat lamps keep you nice and toasty
Hello from Ayza. Happy birthday.. Thank you for your kind words and 5 star review..

Hello, Thank you soo much for your 5 star review..
Even with the pandemic, it was still a great experience. I have been going to Ayza for years. It’s a little different now, but I felt safe and comfortable to be there. I haven’t been eating out a lot.
Thank you Ayza for making my birthday dinner with a friend a good one.
Hello from Ayza, Happy birthday again. thank you for your 5 star review.

Hello Emma, thank you for your 5 star review. So glad to hear you had a pleasant time dining with us. We hope to see you again:)
Really pulling for this place to make it through this plague. They had a nice outdoor dining area even pre-plague. Delicious cocktails. Excellent charcuterie board and small bites.
Hello from Ayza. Thank you for your 5 star review and kind words.
Great selection of food and wines and of course chocolate. The tables were laid out well, and although unusual, it was totally fine that we had to go up to the front to order! A good idea to keep staff in one area! I would definitely come back here again!
Hello from Ayza, Thank you for your kind review. Hope to see you again:))
I used to love the food here but I was very disappointed the other night. It wasn't the same. It seemed like the quality of food has gone down. But the service is amazing and the staff is super friendly.
Hi Cherry, Thank you for your review. i am very sorry to hear about your experience. Do you mind if you give me little more details at zaf@ayzanyc.comm. I 'd like to investigate this little further and also make it right for you.
This place was nice. I will definitely be going back.
Hello from Ayza, Thank you for your 5 star review. Hope to see you again..
Partner’s birthday
Thank you for your 5 star rating. Happy belated birthday to your partner:))
This is the first time we went after the pandemic started. We were seated in the tent area which was cutely decorated with Plexiglas separation between tables. They had little propane heaters which really kept us warm while the outside temperature was in the low 40s. The food and service was great as always
Hello from Ayza, thank you for your business and kind review. Hope to see you again..
Food and drinks were great especially value at happy hour. Made a reservation and they made us sit inside so couldn’t even enjoy the ambience. The table was weirdly positioned that we were just watching everyone in the garden. There were 2 open tables that seated 4 people located in the garden that was open the entire time but still they made us sit inside. I noticed later they let a 2 person group sit in the 4 person table. Manager felt a bit rude and avoided eye contact with us.
Hi Ellen, thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment. Weekends are pretty busy at Ayza, especially now we have limited seatings..Can you pls send me an email at zaf@ayzanyc.comm, i ' d like to send you a small gift for your next visit if you allow me..
Love this place. Only downside is you have to get up and place your orders at the front of restaurant. But the chocolate martinis are to die for and the food is really solid. I have been twice so far snd really enjoyed both times. It feels luxurious.
Hello , thank you so much for your kind review. Hope to see you again..
