Gabriel Kreuther New York - Buy Reservations

We LOVED that it's not overly pretentious. The hosts are a bit judgy but the servers and everyone taking care of us were so wonderful. We had short conversations with each of them, they answered any questions we had and were all so super nice and accommodating. We got some mocktails and went for it with the 6 course tasting menu. As with all tasting menus I've had, by the end, I as begging for it to stop! I don't want to spoil it so you just have to go and experience it all. The reason for one less star is because they got busy and we sat for almost an hour waiting for dessert and our bill and for our bill to be taken. I was beyond full and just wanted to go. It was a bit excruciating. But the dinner experience was perfect.

Who am I to rate this restaurant? This is the kind of place where you visit to watch, to observe, to learn. This is the kind of place where you come to learn what is possible, to learn about human creativity. To learn about the limits, or limitlessness, of human creativity. If you ever wondered what the ancient Greeks meant when they described arete or excellence, this is the place to see it realized. As mentioned on a previous post, my framework for rating restaurants is:Can I replicate It at home?Can I cook make it better?Does it trigger the brain? Does it make me happy?The answers here are two categorical 'nos' for the first two questions and categorical 'yeses' for the final two. I cannot replicate at home or make it better, and it certainly triggers the brain and makes me happy (I use happy here for a sensation of elation when I eat--not sure if you feel it as well, but it is a very distinct feeling). Yes, this is a pricy place, but from the service to the experience to the attention to detail, you must try it at least once. Oh, and the deserts. I am not a desert person, but the deserts here are to die for!!

Excellent Michelin star fine dining. The tables are spaced out and not crammed so a nice airy atmosphere. Food was excellent and service impeccable. We chose this restaurant and restaurant Daniel for our vacation and we preferred this one.

I walked in it was my first fine dining meal I got seated and then this lady wouldn't stop trying to sell me on wine. They got me started with tons of food that I all spat out. 5 years later my appetizer came and that also joined the pile of spat out food on the floor. After another 5 years my entree came it was steak but it was edible just not great. the dessert I ate in one bite. Over all the best thing I ate for dinner that night was a tiny pickle. I walked out hungry from the tiny portions and wasting a lot of money and time. And lastly how does it have 2 Michelin stars?

So we came here on a Friday night and unfortunately we will not be back. I’ll start by saying that the atmosphere and service was great. We did the chef’s tasting menu and added on the more expensive option for the wine pairing. The Som who poured our wine pairing was not very knowledgeable about any of the wines he poured for us. He didn’t explain wine and he was unable to answer questions we had, and when he did answer they were inadequate answers. We are very into wine and know a lot so we were unimpressed by a Michelin star som to say the least. He even said the wrong years for what he was pouring several times, and the years were on the bottles! It just seemed unprofessional and questionable as to weather he was really a sommelier or not. Next, the food. It was very bland and lacked flavor. Keep in mind that we have been to 13 Michelin star rated restaurants in NYC so far, we mainly come to the city solely to try the top rated restaurants. With that being said, this is the only one we haven’t liked or loved so far. I wouldn’t recommend coming here. It is expensive which we knew since it is so highly rated but it is not worth the money! I honestly don’t know how they got their Michelin star rating. With so many other restaurants definitely skip this one.

Legendary restaurant in New York! Michelin 2 star is underrated! And you will love it more when you visit in person, especially when you tour the kitchen (just politely ask the waiter)!The dinner experience was way more memorable than most of the michelin restaurants that I went to. There was a smell of love, care, passion, hard work, and collaboration in the air!To start with, I went there for birthday, and on my dinning table, there lied a handwritten birthday card signed by the chef Gabriel. I was touched, because I had birthday dinners at other restaurants and they were not this fancy.The waiter was caring, he was able to fold the napkin every time when someone left the table, and constantly clean up the table. The portion is actually VERY GOOD. I was worried a bit because I ordered a 3-course for myself and a 4-course for my girlfriend, but they kept sending up complimentary bites between the courses, and the food quality was top-notch. And thanks to those bites, time passes fast, I was able to spend 3 hours in the restaurant while thinking it was only 2.Ok! Food itself! Plating and presentation is almost perfect, what's not so perfect is the lighting - I could take better photos if the lighting over the food were better. Everything was amazing, but the duck was the most splendid. And all the desserts were outstanding, I remember a lot about chocolate flavor. And my girlfriend loved the birthday chocolate dessert the most.I was go to put 9/10 for the restaurant, due to some dishes a bit too salty for me (if my perfect salty is 100%, GK is 110%). But then I was able to tour the kitchen and met the kitchen peeps. I enjoyed the vibe in the kitchen and the peeps were super friendly and happy while they were busy in the kitchen, they even stopped what they were doing to take photos with me. They told me the chef Gabriel left right before I went over to the kitchen, so I was not able to meet him. But I did see him in his staff, because they respected him a lot. It was an unbelievable experience, so I had to boost the score up to 9.5/10.Now the question - what is 10/10 in my experience?1. Better lighting on dining tables2. Less salty on some of the dishes (there was a green liquid in shot glass that was too salty for me)3. If I could meet the chef in person when in kitchen, that would be perfect. (luck).To summarize, I recommend this restaurant strongly, it's another level for dining experience. You can get good food in the dining room, and you can get good story in the kitchen, what more can you ask for? I spent $400 that night for dinner, and I felt it was well worth it!

Service was quite slow and flavors were nothing special. Given the price I'd have rather gone to almost any other fine dining restaurant

I have to say this is best dining experience I've ever had in the same caliber of restaurants. We ordered the 6 courses tasting menu. It's a combination of what's on the menu and surprises from the chef. I LOVE the Sturgeon tarte and my bf can't stop talking about the carbonara. Wine list is very comprehensive. We got a 2018 CHASSAGNE-MONTRAD Jean-Claude RAMON and it's so smooth coming with strong bodied.

Live up to the expectation of a 2 star Michelin. I really like foie gras. The wine pairing there was good too, had a good time w my partners.
