Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in East Elmhurst

Thank you for a wonderful evening my wife had a great night on her birthday! . Olivia our server was great and made the experience memorable.

One If By Land is one of the most beautiful restaurants in New York, with the most exceptional service and ambience. The ambience feels special (and cozy) with subtle lighting, fresh flowers everywhere, as well as twinkling white lights and candles, and views of the garden patio. One member of our party was delayed in their arrival, and the restaurant graciously waited before beginning service, and never pressured us about the unexpected delay. The timing of every aspect of the entire evening was impeccable, with servers patiently waiting an appropriate amount of time at every stage of ordering and serving. The food was delicious with every course was prepared beautifully. We had the Beef Wellington, Rib Eye, and Halibut. For dessert, we all enjoyed chocolate soufflés and the waiters brought an extra plate of bite sized treats for a birthday we were celebrating. It was an evening we will never forget and we will undoubtedly return to One If By Land for special occasions, if we are lucky enough to secure a reservation!

We had the Lamb Bhuna, Dal Makhani, saag paneer empanada, and garlic cheese naan. All were absolutely amazing! The Taj Mahal beer was also really good! Our server RUSSEL was incredibly nice and attentive! We learned a lot about Indian liquor from him. So much so that my husband had to try Indian Whiskey—which he said was also very good. Thank you, Russell, for the amazing service!

My husband and I are in NYC for our daughter’s wedding. We had a lovely meal and exquisite wine. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Always great food and service here! Can’t wait to come back.
