From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon alum Mitsunobu Nagae melds his Japanese heritage with French cooking at this MICHELIN-starred Tribeca gem. That means you might find dishes like foie gras crème brûlée stuffed in citrus or miso-marinated Japanese butterfish with baby artichoke on the seasonal tasting menu—or choose from à la carte options at the bar. Either way, you'll be seated in a space that's definition: Tribeca; an elegant room with velvet chairs and booths and a marble accent wall.

    My partner and I were really looking forward to dining at L’Abeille. We dressed up for what we hoped would be a special evening in New York City, especially given the restaurant’s Michelin star and reputation for elegance. Unfortunately, our experience was completely overshadowed by an incredibly disruptive table seated near us—a family with young adult children who spent the evening loudly arguing and swearing. What was most disappointing was the lack of response from the staff. Despite the clear disturbance, no one intervened or made any effort to restore a calm and respectful dining atmosphere. For a restaurant that prides itself on sophistication and attentive service, this felt like a serious oversight. It left us with the impression that as long as guests are paying, their behavior is tolerated—regardless of the impact on others. In a space that should feel refined and thoughtfully curated, this lack of consideration was really disheartening. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. It’s unfortunate that a night we were so looking forward to became such a negative experience…

    Excellent bar experience - a la carte! The asparagus first dish is the best and the service is friendly and professional. Separately was recommended lovely glass of red by Philippe Pacalet to go with the lamb and it was sublime. Highly recommend. Thank you to the team for a lovely evening.

    Great food and service as always. The white asparagus and fish dishes were delicious and excellent examples bridging French and Japanese elements harmoniously. The strawberry dessert was very refreshing, bright, and delightful.

    The whole experience was wonderful - the staff really went out of their way to make sure we had an elevated experience, while not being condescending. The food was delicious and it was a great place to take my girlfriend for her birthday.
