    The food at The Ribbon is consistently very good, we have never been disappointed. We really like the broad and creative menu. The service is also consistently good, we had a great server Friday night this week, he was very thoughtful and everything was timely. We will continue to go back...

    The UWS location was disappointing. We have been longtime fans of Blue Ribbon since its Soho beginnings in 1992. Our experience was lackluster, food was good but not memorable. Our most recent visit to Blue Ribbon Sushi Columbus Circle was fabulous and was expecting the same.

    Food was good. Enjoyed the appetizers. My wife and I had selected the burrata.. The cocktails were underwhelming. I ordered a spicey margarita and it tasted like it was pure Jose Cuervo mix and a splash of tequila. There was nothing spicey about it. I ordered 2 beers on tap and it had an unclean vinegar taste. the 16 layer crepe desert was fantastic. Overall I would come again, but would hope they fix the drinks.

    Love their French dip! But sometimes the music can be too loud. We had to move our table. No problem to sit by the open doors.
