    We came for lunch and since it was beautiful weather, we sat upstairs. Although I've been here before, it was my first time upstairs. How wonderful it was. The staff could not have been more attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the food. My companion is a chef and she cleaned her plate. She's from out of town and was very glad I recommended this restaurant. All around it was a very nice experience.

    Aretsky’s Patroon was excellent as always. I love the cozy downstairs bar and the Côtes du Rhône is excellent. The food was delicious all around and my friends enjoyed their drinks as well. Best of all though is the staff which make you feel right at home.

    Just fabulous. Had not been to Patroon for years. Arrived early for our 4 top. Was graciously offered to be seated at our table for a drink before everyone else arrived (many restaurants insist on the entire party being present before seating so this is welcoming). Having said that I wanted to check the bar as I had not been for some time. Warm and cozy, dark and woody I nestled in for a few while reading and listening to the people enjoying themselves having dinner in the bar area. Dinner was outstanding. Food amazing (if you can do the steak for 2 with tamarind sauce), service attentive and impeccable and never overbearing. Don’t leave without taking a few match boxes! (so old school, have not seen that for years). Highly recommended.

    Aretsky's Patroon never disappoints. Warm, welcoming service from the second you step inside the door at this iconic, club-like NYC steakhouse. Great wine list and great cocktails to go with the great food. Whether it's a celebration, a business lunch/dinner or just dining out with friends or family, Patroon always feels special without being pretentious or requiring a second mortgage to eat there.

    The food was excellent and so was the service. I will say the price range was much higher than the average shown at first glance through open table. Prepare to spend some money, but we’ll worth it.

    First attempt was a table next to kitchen with many more available. Nope. I asked for another and they gave me a fine table. Wish restaurants always gave out good tables on a first come first served basis, but especially when arriving at end of lunch hour (so not table is available no one else is coming). Shouldn’t have to ask.

    We love Aretsky’s Patroon! You are greeted by Gene, a member of the family who owns the restaurant. Always friendly and engaging, Gene seats you at your table and will check on you throughout the meal to make sure you are having a wonderful experience. The food is very good — and the menu has something for everyone. The service is terrific. Our primary service person, David, was funny, knowledgeable about the menu, and very attentive to allergy and food requests. A real gem. Go enjoy a meal there — it will be a real treat.

    Overpriced for the quality. If I’m paying $75 for an entree it’d better be perfect, and it was definitely not. Very under-seasoned & small portioned. Cocktails were delicious, though. Very well made with unique flavors. Too bad this is a restaurant and not a cocktail bar.
