Essential by Christophe New York Reviews from The Last Year
This a great restaurant.
It has one Michelin star, but I expect it to go to two stars soon. It is relaxed, has great food, and a wonderful staff. They are so accommodating when making choices from the menu. This is our go to restaurant when we want to treat ourselves to something special. Try it and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
I walked in without reservation and seated at the bar.
Bar has more flexibility on menu since you do not have to do tasting menu and can pick a la carte. I love the ambiance and the friendliness of the staff!
What a unique and special experience.
The chef considers every aspect of fine dining at his Michelin rated restaurant. Service is impeccable, quiet upscale dining with a variety of exquisite tasting food , beautiful dishes and a variety of wine to choose from with a sommelier. We wanted our children to experience a top French restaurant with a tasting menu. We enjoyed the seven course "essential menu." Dined on so many tasty dishes. Absolutely my favorite was the wagyu. Best thing I have ever tasted. It's extremely pricey so save this for something very special if cost is a factor.
Recently ate at the french style restaurant "essential"
Recently ate at the french style restaurant "essential" located on the upper west side, with my family. We decided to choose the "7 course essential menu" there are also 3 and 4 courses you can choose from as well. Overall since the food was very small portions I felt it allowed me to try a little bit of everything without feeling over stuffed. The restaurant was very clean and elegant. The service was super fast and efficent. The detailing on each of the dishes allowed such a warm welcoming experience. The duck was by far my favorite as well as the dessert. The waiter does a pristine job explaining each and every course so you know exactly what you are eating and why it taste the way it does. I do have a gluten allergy which was written on the required reservation to attend essential, they made sure everything I was eating was for me and treated my allergy with care and caution which was very appreciated. Essential is a older atmosphere as well as young couples. We wen't around 9:30 and ended at 11:30 so it wasn't very packed or overwhelming.
Incredible food, the amuse bouche was made with sweet
Incredible food, the amuse bouche was made with sweet potato and a mushroom mousse, which was astounding. The courses that followed were so flavorful, technically perfect ( the duck breast was rare, warm and crispy with melt in your mouth texture. THE sommelier, Andrea provided expert guidance on a champagne and a burgundy to accompany the meal. The atmosphere is soothe with beautiful lighting. It's quiet and bustling. Elegant and informal. Can't wait to go back!
Wow incredible dining experience.
My bf and I picked the "essential" 7 course menu. Started off with bread on the house and the mushroom cappuccino which was so unique and delicious. Out of the next few courses, my personal favorite was the langoustine. For the main meat course, my bf got the venison and I got the duck and tried each other's. I loved the duck flavor more but the venison texture was absolutely perfect. The extremely silky smooth mashed potatoes that came with the meats were unexpected but also a highlight. Finally for dessert, le gin dandy was my fav bc the flavors were so unique, never had anything like it. Aside from food, the presentation was awesome. They paid a lot of attention to geometry, always adjusting our plates and silverware into a triangle formation. And many of the dishes arrived with interesting shaped covers (not shown in pics) that made the experience feel particularly artsy. The inside of the restaurant seemed trendier, less intimate than other fine dining places I've been and there were a lot more people than I expected. I personally didn't mind that so I thought it was still an excellent vibe!
A very creative French cuisine.
A completely different level of experience. Should try it out.
My boyfriend and I each ordered the essential menu.
I had to order substitutions for the sea urchin and the langoustine due to crustacean allergy. I ordered the hamachi and the octopus instead. For cocktails, we ordered the Gene Sais Pais, Helicopter, Rosalita and Harvest Highball. Our Favorite is hands down the Harvest Highball! Then for his Rosali and for mine Helicopter. We would say the foods were on the creamy, rich, heavy and salty side, which is what you would get from a French restaurant. The service was excellent. They come and clean the table every so often, refill your water bottle and fold your napkin when leaving the table. The ambiance in here is a modern cozy home like vibes. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy French cuisine!
Simply Fabulous
What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Clearly the best restaurant on the UWS by a mile. The food was exquisite. The wines were wonderful. The service was really excellent. The wait staff was very attentive and efficient without being obtrusive. We were a group of 5 very close friends who were there for a celebration, and we wanted a leisurely and elegant dinner. It appeared that the pace of the meal was very carefully adjusted to us, rather than us being pushed by the kitchen's pace. We never felt pushed at any point in the meal, but we also didn't feel that things went too slowly. A perfect pace. The whole style of the place was more UWS and less formal than at Daniel, for example, but still very elegant and very comfortable. Quite expensive - $140 for the 3 course prix fixe - but worth it. It deserves its Michelin star.
Such an amazing experience, the staff really made us feel
Such an amazing experience, the staff really made us feel welcomed and the attention to detail from wines to each dish was incredible. The whole menu flowed, we decided to go with the seven course - favorites were the blue prawns, scallop, black bass, and duck - all so flavorful & delicious! They had a side dish of buttery mashed potatoes, so creamy! The desserts looked like art work, and everything was paired well with wines. Staff were so attentive, decor was very simple, clean & elegant. It's pricey but once a while it's great to be wined and dined!
A superb new addition to the Upper West Side.
I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions. The dishes are exceptional, though they tend to be smaller in size. Opting for the larger-sized tasting menu would be advisable.
It was nice, we went a while back before they got the
It was nice, we went a while back before they got the Michelin star and had a great time. It's definitely quiet and intimate- not that romantic, but good if you want conversation. No complaints about the dishes
This might just be the best kept secret on the Upper West
This might just be the best kept secret on the Upper West Side. Locals swear by it for a fine dining experience that doesn't feel stuffy and the dishes are one better than the next. The Langoustine was wonderful as were the Duck and Prawns. Each dish is meticulously plated and presented. This was one of the best meals I've had all year - Mind you it'll cost you a pretty penny but it's so worth it.
Fabulous food, service and atmosphere
Went with NYC friends, we were delighted with everything. We had the 3 course prix fixe dinner for $125 . The choices were so many and good, the food itself outstanding. As good as we get in Paris! Foie gras, skate with Beurre Noir, venison with truffle sauce, chocolate tart, orange souffle- all equally beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. Very helpful sommelier. Can’t wait to return.
Unforgettable dining experience
Unforgettable dining experience. Each dish was amazing and beautiful. The service was excellent. Definitely Michelin star level!
An experience to remember
Unbelievable details and attention paid to each plate. We did the tasting course and ordered wine. The Somm was amazing.
Great experience at the Essential by Christophe
Great experience, great food and great service. Especially, I want to mention Michelle and Andrea, who were most helpful and welcoming.

Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have a similar question, it seems like when money is refunded it doesnt go immediately what is the process of this since its essentially a debit card and not a credit card
