- TTaniMexico City •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI couldnt have picked a better place to enjoy my first dinner of 2025. For starters, the restaurant is visually beautiful and they perfectly curated the music to create a relaxing ambience. It is clear that management has a particular attention to detail and it is something I greatly appreciate in any dining experience. I was seated upstairs near the balcony overlooking the downstairs dining area. It felt intimate but still lively. My server was Alecta and she was absolutely incredible. She made solid recommendations and checked in regularly to ensure I was enjoying my dining experience. The food was a 10/10 and came out quickly. I ordered the lobster bisque and the 12oz Australian ribeye. At no point did I have to ask for anything because the staff was so attentive. I will absolutely be returning and I 100% recommend to anyone.More infoLa Grande BoucheriePrice: Very Expensive• French• Midtown West•4.5

- LLeonaNew York City •23 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024What a lovely Christmas dinner! The food is always dependably delicious, beautifully plated, and served with warmth and genuine attention to detail. I never tire of eating here. Hidden on a small side street and tucked back a bit from the sidewalk, it escapes the notice of passersbys strolling on First Avenue. Almost like a speakeasy, you have to “know” to go there. I almost want to keep this place to myself but it is such a gem and deserves to be recognized as one of the best restaurants in NYC, not just on the UES.More infoSupperclub @ Le Petit ParisienPrice: Expensive• French• Upper East Side•4.8
- SSusanAtlanta Metro •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024The food was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.More infoBrasserie Cognac Upper East SidePrice: Expensive• French• Upper East Side•4.7
