From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon alum Mitsunobu Nagae melds his Japanese heritage with French cooking at this MICHELIN-starred Tribeca gem. That means you might find dishes like foie gras crème brûlée stuffed in citrus or miso-marinated Japanese butterfish with baby artichoke on the seasonal tasting menu—or choose from à la carte options at the bar. Either way, you'll be seated in a space that's definition: Tribeca; an elegant room with velvet chairs and booths and a marble accent wall.

    Outstanding service and presentation Had discovery menu-amuse bouche great Soup with mushrooms little to no taste and was very bland First fish dish very plain and not really tasty at all Tile fish good Final dish aged ribeye excellent Dessert taste of autumn strange and not very good They didn’t even get vesper martini right as well Overall service and atmosphere excellent We plan trips around food frequently but with this price point expected it to be much better …not even close to restaurants like Daniel or Gabriel kruether

    A very lovely restaurant. We did the chefs tasting. For 8 courses we still left pretty hungry. Of all the tasting menus I’ve done the portions were the smallest here. My only feedback is literally make things like 1/4 bigger across the board.

    Lovely tasting menu and exquisite wines. Paid >$1200 dollars for 2 people which is absolutely insane and didn’t realize until the end because of the way the menu was written. Great place but beware of your wallet…

    It was absolutely fabulous! They were so accomodating and prepared a substitute menu for an item I am unable to eat. Staff and service was remarkable. One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while! Thank you so much for making our night special. Special shout out to Oscar for his kindness :).

    As usual L’abeille pulled another incredible colab dinner! This time chef Mitsu reconnect with chef Alain and pulled a beautiful Autumn flavor menu. Special mention as well for the beverage pairing of this evening, with a nice surprise from the bar finishing the last course in a great way.

    This is not your run-of-the-mill Saturday night dinner! We went with the “short” tasting menu and we added the wine pairing, and we added the optional pasta with white truffle course. The preparation and plating of each course is obviously the product of painstaking execution. The service is professional but warm. If you’re looking for a special dining experience, this is an excellent choice.
