The ambiance is elegant yet calming and welcoming. The food beyond any expectations.

Let the culinary journey commence.

We indulged in the four course fixed price extravaganza.

Ketel One Martini

We toasted the achievement of 32 years together with the best martini…ever. Beautifully etched chilled glass, delicious olives. No Chopin, but they shook the Ketel One to Bond perfection.

Cody guided us into the center of the Kreuther universe to witness the genius up close and personal.

Executive Chef Gabriel Kreuther worked extensively throughout Europe before bringing his talent to the U.S.

He began at La Caravelle followed by Restaurant Jean-George Central Park before moving onto Atelier in the Ritz-Carlton, culminating in a decade at The Modern in the Museum of Modern Art.

Next time, my goal is to sit at the chef’s table to observe the incredibly talented staff make magic.

Overlooking verdant Bryant Park, Gabriel Kreuther should top your restaurant bucket list.
