King New York - Buy Reservations

New year = more food! King Restaurant in NYC is totally fine dining from the moment you walk in you are greeted with the best scent of the delicious food. The menu is TINY but changed daily and cooked with perfection. You have to know someone to get a reservation. The place is also TINY so you are VERY close to fellow patrons but it is great to be in the company or the other guests! Everyone seems pleasant and seems like they have a story to share. The Sommelier suggested some amazing wines - we got two bottles. One was possibly the best Barolo we have ever had (2018 Castiglione)!! I strongly recommend this experience!!They have both indoor and outdoor dining year round. So the outdoor dining has great heating support so you can fully enjoy while watching the passerbys!The only downside is that the lighting is NOT great for taking pics or if you have vision problems.

I was incredibly excited to celebrate my husbands birthday at King. Other than the delicious food (and it was exceptional), it was a real let down start to finish. My 3 star rating is 100% related to the food and the lovely hostess. Service was terrible. Our server was rude and dismissive. We had to wait for a very long time to get a drink before even ordering our dinner. We were seated outside which, had I been told beforehand, I would have gone elsewhere. It was FREEZING cold and the wool blankets we were handed didn't help. We happened to be seated at the only table that did not have a heater directly above it. I wore my coat the entire dinner. I certainly hope that the owner's new restaurant takes the time to train its servers so that diners don't have to experience what we did last night and to realize that diners expect to be treated professionally and graciously. Especially when paying such prices. The price tag comes with the expectation that both food and service are excellent. Thumbs down on the snotty unprofessional service. Thumbs up on the food. It was delicious. Wine list was also good.

We had two wonderful meals here. Liked it so much the first time that we booked again within the one week we were here in NYC. The staff are friendly and engaging and the general ambience is really good. Simple things such as the yellow and red peppers as part of our starter tasted better than I’ve ever had before. Just one example of how they manage to get so much flavour into every ingredient. Small menu but better for it in my opinion, so that more care and attention is given to the preparation and cooking of each dish each day. Certainly enough choice for most tastes though. The emphasis is definitely on taste and not necessarily how the dish looks, which is fine by me.

It feels very "nice," without any of the pretension, and really just let's the food speak for itself. Everything is meticulously prepared, and the amount of care given to the details--from the art and decor, to the ingredients, is impeccable. On the topic of food, the clams are fat and away the best I've ever had. Fresh tasting, perfectly chewy and decadent with butter and vermouth. Perfect. The lombatello was also a standout. Don't skip the chocolate cake either.

I had to send my grilled fish back to the kitchen because it was soaked in salt. The kitchen's next attempt was burnt on 1 side. Not sure what made us sick but I've had intestinal discomfort for 3 days now with spurts of diarrhea. Place seems in disarray because the menu which is printed daily doesn't accurately describe dishes. Romano beans showed up as garbanzo beans, and lentils showed up as rice.

Booked based on recommendation for a special occasion.don’t go here expecting standards of River Cafe in London, for example! Corner table inside at 8pm. Loud speaker above our heads. Disinterested waiting staff. Chick pea fritters pasty and dull. Stodgy pasta dish over sauced. Pork chop under cooked. Very expensive wine list. Flavourless ice cream. Insanely expensive for the quality of the food. Daylight robbery!

The standouts were the asparagus, the veal tonnato and especially the clafoutis, which required being ordered in advance. We sat at very pleasant outdoor tables. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful and that indefinable quality of atmosphere was wondrous. We had a great time and will go back soon.

Would highly recommend. What a great new restaurant in the village. Moises was fantastic, you can't do better.

I've reviewed King before, but I went again with their new Spring menu and it was like a whole different menu. Such bright and vibrant plates and flavors. I had the Spring nettle pesto pasta and it was a blast of flavor. The menu is limited so it doesn't overwhelm you with options, but all the choices look great and you are tempted by all of them. This is always my first stop when I am in off the plane. They've always accommodated me without reservation, either at a small table in the corner or at the bar. I found the service knowledgeable and friendly without being overbearing. I will say, only once, one of bus staff hurried away one of my dishes, but my server caught it an apologized at once for the mistake. I really appreciated that they were still checking vaccination status at the door. This is no longer required in New York, but I was thankful that they are still requiring this.
