- MMila GraceNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI tried the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu handroll at Wabi Nori, and I’ve never tasted anything like it! The quality of the meat and its balance with the rice were perfect. I paired it with the Japanese Dream cocktail, and it was an amazing match. This experience was absolutely unforgettableMore infoWabi Nori Hand Roll BarPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Lower East Side•4.6
- MMichelleNew York City •51 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI live in NYC and eat out often. This restaurant had the most attentive service I have ever experienced. I was waiting at the bar for my friend. I was approached three times by wait staff and the manager to ask if I needed water or anything. This was done in a kind and respectful way - not a ‘move along and order something or leave’ manner. Attentive service continued once we were seated. Food was delicious. Next time I’m in the Village, this is my go-to.More infoOlio e PiùPrice: Moderate• Italian• West Village•4.8

But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.More infoSerra by Birreria - Eataly NYC FlatironPrice: Expensive• Italian• Gramercy Park•4.3
