★★★★★ 5.0 Georgia Panagiotakos · Jan 2026

One If by Land, Two If by Sea was absolutely spectacular. Walking in felt like stepping into a storybook—the soaring ceilings, glowing chandeliers, and beautiful holiday décor created the most magical atmosphere. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The escargot was perfectly prepared, the Beef Wellington was exceptional, the French onion consommé was rich and comforting, and the chocolate soufflé was the perfect ending. Every dish felt special. They offer both a three-course prix fixe and a seven-course tasting menu, which makes the experience feel even more elevated. Yes, it’s expensive—but absolutely worth it for a special occasion or a truly memorable night out. The pianist sat right in front of us and played so gently it felt like the music was floating in the background—ele

I had the pleasure of taking my wife here for our anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I made the reservations, the staff graciously accommodated all my requests. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the door and assisted with our coats, setting the perfect tone. The atmosphere was enchanting, and the chef’s curated courses were nothing short of amazing, with outstanding food selections. The customer service (our waiter Albert was great) and hospitality were impeccable throughout. No complaints whatsoever—just pure delight for the evening. If you’re planning on visiting there’s a parking lot right across the street

★★★★★ 5.0 Steve DeLon · Nov 2025

I booked this for our 10 year anniversary, talk about romantic, candle light dinner. The staff was right there for every move, cleaning up, taking dishes. We did the 3 course meal choice 😋 👌 😉 French soup, salmon, chocolate Thise were my 3 along with an "Oldest Fashioned" Every course we had was simply delicious. A lot of care goes into plating the dish and the presentation when serving it This is a 5 Star experience with a 5 Star price...worth every penny

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Leman Ozdag · Dec 2025

SUPER OVERPRICED! I overall like the restaurant! Dim lighting, piano, tables are so nice. Price is super high though! They force you to order 3 course meal which is 160$ for each person and at the end of the night we ended up paying 500 dollars for 2 people. I think it’s way too much for the food, service and experience we’ve received. It’s super overpriced.And our waiter smelled stinky.. he definitely needed a shower..unfortunately.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Daniele Phillips · Dec 2025

Probably the most romantic restaurant we have been to in NYC. Recommend asking for the window seats overlooking the garden - so pretty. The food was good - we went for the 3 course fixed menu ($165 each) but the beef wellington was so large. Felt like we were paying for such a unnecessary portion that we ended up leaving half which felt so wasteful. We weren't coming away raving about the food and as everywhere in NYC it was expensive. You are more paying for the vibes and how romantic it is. There is live music which really added to the ambience. The service was good but felt over the top with multiple servers per table.
