   Appetizers were good (octopus, steak tartare). Mains were expensive and not well executed: branzino had many bones, hard on the top like it had been waiting for too long; the steak was well done outside and undercooked inside, the fries were not good, just oil and no rosemary. The service was sub par . It was so noisy I had to yell to talk and one of us just gave up talking. We didn’t even want to try the desserts. It was so good to leave the restaurant.

   The wait staff is horrific. First time ever. I’ve been come to this restaurant when I was away back at the Makaveli’s. The food was good, the waitresses horrific.

   The Consulate is a great restaurant, a “little slice of heaven” in the upper west! Thursday was my friend’s birthday. She had never been to this restaurant before last night and she loved it. Our waiter was excellent! He answered all our questions. All of the staff was very attentive. We had a great table next to the window due to the kindness of the hostess! My friend said she was returning with her husband the next time!

   First, the good - the service was wonderful. However, the food was nothing special, the tables are packed in, it is so noisy, and the prices are ridiculous for drinks and food. Not going back.

   Great brunch with amazing service. I love that the brunch menu is not cookie cutter offering some unique options (like burrata waffle, avocado toast with poached egg, and salmon waffle)

   We went for a nice Valentine’s Day date so it was pretty busy. Our waitress wasn’t able to get to us for about 40 minutes, but she was very nice and clearly overwhelmed with dealing with an entree shortage. Food was great and the service ended up being great. The inside is also beautiful, would recommend.

    Blueberry pancakes were baked well. Dough was light and seasoned well. However, there were almost no blueberries. Not enough fruit. Mostly plain pancakes which were disappointing. I wanted more fruit and more fruit flavor. All I had were plain pancakes.

    This restaurant looks to be around for many years so it has a bit of that worn look though it still had charm. We came to try Restaurant Week menu cause reviews were delighted with menu that included duck legs. This did not happen. Th RW menu was pedestrian at best. Too bad these restaurants do nothing special to give a real sense of their food. We decided to order off the regular menu. This was lunch. We both ordered the onion soup. I thought it very good, hubby said okay. The muscles were very good, the omlette just so so. We had no desert. With one drink each and a soup and entree before tax and tip we spent $140. Not worth price. So doubt we will go back.

    What a hidden little gem we found in The Consulate! I cannot recommend them enough based on our lunch experience. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and top notch. The cocktails were incredible. The overall vibe and ambiance was to die for. We will be returning for another magical experience very soon!

    We came for New Year's Day brunch and were not disappointed. The food was great, and the selection wonderful. The restaurant had a terrific buzzy vibe that wasn't too loud and felt fun. The tables were a tiny bit close together but not so near that we were forced to eavesdrop on other conversations. I would have rated the service higher--the staff were friendly and helpful--but service was somewhat slow, especially at the end when we wanted the check. We'll definitely be back.

    there's a lot of things to like about this place: ambience, food, decor, and good value. but we had an awful waitress + host that ruined our meal there, and it was a shame because we were celebrating a special occasion. we probably won't go back. too bad.

    The food was exceptional — most notable were the duck and the skate entrees, and the chocolate lava cake is not to be missed. Everyone was very hospitable and kind, from beginning to end. I do only wish the server could figure out how to serve the adjacent table without needing everyone to rearrange each time he passed…

    The french fries were amazing, but the $55 ribeye was far from good. It was a poorly selected cut, just a really bad steak. The prepartion was fine, but just a horrible cut. Overall, we left feeling like we got took. Way over priced for the quality.

    Great place for lunch. Had a business meeting/lunch and liked that the place was quiet during the lunch hour so we could easily hear each other. Food was great - we had a salad and a burger and polished them off. Waitstaff couldn't have been nicer. HIGHLY recommend.

    A real case of a creative chef delivering really good food in an amateurish dining room. Staff is sweet but untrained in the service the food deserves. Someone needs to get out there and boost the level of knowledge and sophistication to compliment the cuisine.

    The restaurant is very noisy, not only because of the loud music but also because diners seem to communicate by screaming at each other. Once the crowds left, dining and conversation became possible. As far as the food, my spouse and I shared the grilled artichoke which was enormous but mostly inedible. It was very touch except for the heart. Our friend had the octopus to start and enjoyed it. We all had skate as our main dish; the portion was substantial and it was a good preparation. It came with a side of spinach, The plate looked a little empty: it would have benefited from the addition of a couple of small potatoes, perhaps, as well as some herbs or other garnish. The restaurant is somewhat more expensive than others in the area.
