    2021

From the OpenTable editors: For when only the biggest blowout celebrations will do, this Midtown hotspot's ultra-luxe menu—where caviar, naturally, is the star—can't be beat. Go for one of the three MICHELIN-Starred tasting menus, where chef Edgar Panchernikov's showstopping plates of Japanese mackerel, white asparagus, and oysters are all topped with caviar. Velvet booths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tall chandeliers only reinforce just how special it feels to eat here.

    We were running late to a reservation due to holiday traffic and they called  to make sure that we were on the way because they were still holding our table, which was so nice. I  Believe our waiters name was Eli. He offered great recommendations when ordering caviar & even gave us a little treat.  I now know why they have a Michelin star.

    Fantastic experience. From the first step to the very last bite of desserts, this place is a 10! We loved everything recommended (Caviar, Dover Sole, Lamb, etc). Service was impeccable and they made our evening so special while visiting NYC.
