   Came for dinner after seeing a taping of the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. We saw some of the crew walking by as the studio is only an avenue block away. This is a true gem of a place. We got most of the appetizers and loved all of them. Drinks were delicious, and dessert was really lovely. The owner personally came by and engaged us as well as all the other diners in conversation. Will come again!

   The best innovative cuisine on the west side of midtown! Drinks were very creative and crafty too. We were surprised this place is not widely known yet. Will definitely come back.

   Every single thing we ordered was insanely good. From the first taste of miso butter with their brioche bread to the lamb shank and everything in between. This spot will be my new go to date night spot for my partner and I. And anytime i have friends in town i will be bringing them here

    The idea of Italian Asian fusion sounds intriguing but in practice it is a failed experiment . The meatballs were hard and added Asian seasonings gave it a bitter taste The calamari was skimpy on portion and too spicy Event the drinks were pretty bad - mixing ingredients that just didn’t vibe The lamb shank was tender and delicious but the single piece of naan which is supposed to be used to make a sandwich was more like a think soaked pancake

    I stopped in at Sesamo for lunch and had a truly amazing experience. I had the four leaf lettuce salad to start, which was so fresh and delicious. I then had the vegan pasta which came with broccoli and tomato sauce. Just wonderful. And I finished with the tiramisu which was lovely. The service was outstanding and the prices most reasonable. A great dining option in the far West 50’s.

    We opened the restaurant on a Sunday for Brunch and glad that we did. Only 1 server working the restaurant of 20 plus tables. Our server gave away one of our groups meal to another table and blamed it on the kitchen. Took 10 minutes to make egg Benedict? Most diners were locals so you know the place has very good food

    Last night's experience at SESAMO really saved my butt. Let me explain. My girlfriend asked me specifically for an Italian dinner date night. While doing my research, I found SESAMO. I've never had Italian-Asian fusion cuisine before, and thought it sounded really fun. When I told my girlfriend where we were going, she was visibly disappointed. I know she was looking to have traditional Italian food. She agreed to give it a try and so we went. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our reservation, which was no problem at all. We were seated right away. The service was good, no complaints there. I don't even have the language to explain how stupendous the food was. It was truly superb. We tried the octopus, rainbow carrots, burrata, and the duck ragu pappardelle. My girlfriend was making yummy noises throughout the entire meal. At one point, she even said, "I think this is the best octopus I've ever had!" And she's a foodie AND works in the industry. That was quite a compliment coming from her. At one point, the chef checked on us personally, which was a really nice touch. He was kind and gracious when hearing how much we were enjoying our food. He sent the rainbow carrots out to us complimentary. Rock on! At the end of our dinner date, we decided it was a tremendous success and that we would definitely be returning to SESAMO soon. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Oh, and the restaurant is woman-owned, so... BONUS!!

    I have been to Sesamo for brunch many times, and my most recent experience was very dissatisfying. The restaurant didn't have multiple menu items, offering a very scaled down version of what was to be expected. In addition, the server and another staff member were arguing in front of everyone - while I love dinner and a show, I wasn't looking for an episode of Jerry Sprenger..

    I’ve been to the restaurant when it was Crispin and wanted to see the rebranding. I’m disappointed that the wine list’s least expensive bottle of red was $70. I am impressed that waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. I did not appreciate that we were served the prix fixe menu all at once especially with a small table for 2. I hope they find their way.

    Food was unpalatable; bread served was stale and dry. Chicken parmigiana was tough and tasteless. The "Asian" accent to the Italian food that was touted consisted of very hot spices. Waitress Natalia was obliging and apologetic but she wasn't responsible for the poor quality that came out of the kitchen. Maybe a good neighborhood place for drinks, definitely not for foodies.

    The food is so unique and absolutely delicious! While some things were better than others, everything was, at the very least, very good. Highlights: Broccoli with peanut sauce was a huge hit! It would also be a fantastic addition to a main course. Mushroom Tortellini was incredibly and very filling. Bold, rich flavors. Spaghetti and meatballs had the perfect amount of spice to make it an unexpected favorite! Mashed potatoes made me so so happy! Fabulous flavors from the garlic and cheese!! Panna Cotta was the perfect compliment after a big meal. Sweet and tart, very light. Loved it!! Bread pudding - holy cow!! We thought we were too full for dinner, and this is a heavier dessert than the panna cotta, but we could not get enough! Notes: The mushroom bruschetta is a bit of a misleading name, but it is delicious anyway. I expected bruschetta with mushrooms in it, but it completely mushroom based on toasted bread with (I think) melted swiss cheese. Awesome!! Definitely try it, but don't expect tomatoes. Ricotta cake was very dense and not our favorite. It may have been an off night, I'm not sure. But the other desserts outshined this poor little cake. We were all very happy with our meal and the service. Employees here could not be nicer and it was the perfect end to our day. Thank you so much!!!
