Very underwhelming food for a place that is named the "best
Very underwhelming food for a place that is named the "best restaurant in NYC". I waited ~40 minutes in line prior to opening, and we got seated in the first round (but still around 5:20pm, as they stagger seatings). A little bit before opening, a server comes out to offer POG juice to all those waiting in line, which was much appreciated in the humid NYC summer heat. We ordered the egusi dumpling, curried goat patties, braised oxtails, and short rib pastrami suya to share for the two of us. Honestly the concept of all these dishes is inventive and unique, but they all just seemed to miss. 1. The egusi dumpling tasted somewhat raw. 2. The curried goat patties were good but nothing special. 3. The braised oxtails were probably out favorite dish but the presentation of this caught us off guard - why would you serve this in a huge crockpot and only fill half of the pot with oxtails and five pieces of vegetables? And the sauce was overly sticky which created a slightly burnt taste on the oxtails. 4. Short rib pastrami suya was our least favorite. Everything about this dish was too salty, and the bread was weirdly sweet and not soft. We had originally wanted to order their dessert, but we were too full, and also too disappointed to want to try. Obviously this is NYC's top restaurant so I would still recommend giving it a shot, but we were pretty underwhelmed.

Be the first to ReplyThis restaurant was phenomenal .
The service was impeccable, the vibes were chill and the food was out of this world. Everything was made to perfection. The curry goat patties the oxtail and crab appetizers oh so good. The braised oxtail was delightful, the curry crab was delish and the pastrami was butter soft. The bodega brownie and rum cake delish. Ate too much. Definitely have to go running tomorrow. A 5 star review from me and my fam today.
Be the first to ReplyFirst time at this highly hyped hot new-ish restaurant.
Short version - definitely worth the visit. Long version: Is it, in fact, the best restaurant in NYC? I mean that's a really tough judgment to make - there are so many really fabulous spots. This is up there among the top tier though for sure. Our server was super nice, friendly, eager to offer advice. Service was a little on the slower side though. We probably would have ordered a couple more drinks if we were checked on a little more - by the time we were checked on, it was a little too late in the meal for us to embark on another round. Our second app took a long long time to come out - long enough that we started to so wonder if there was a mix up. But those were small things - and the main reason we were there (the food) was overall exceptional. We got the goat patties and the rangoon, both which were unbelievably delicious (close your eyes and savor kind of delicious.) Well balanced flavors, tender filling in the patties which were literally melt in your mouth. Oxtails for dinner equally a must order, fall off the bone tender and seasoned impeccably. The cheesecake for dessert was a great finish. Shrimp was a bit of a miss unfortunately, slightly overcooked so not as succulent as I had hoped. The sauce though was excellent. For two people, they advise 2 apps, and 2 mains, but I think with a heavier main like the oxtails, one main , 2 apps, 1 dessert is perfect. Now to the really important info: Because I did an extensive Google search with really confusing and contradictory info, on how to actually get to eat here given how difficult it is to get a res, I'm sharing my hard researched info to hopefully help others to get to experience this fabulous meal. Sent hubs to stand in line for a Friday res. He got there around 4:15 pm, there were about 30 people in front of him. At 5 pm, someone from the restaurant took the first 10 or so people in for immediate seating. There was about a 20 minute pause where nothing happened (presumably because they were getting everyone settled and their actual reservations seated. Then someone came out again and started handing out time slots to come back for either bar or outdoor seating (you don't get to choose, it's whatever is open.) With the 30 people in front of him (less parties since he said he was the only person who came alone for the line (sorry!!!) he was given a time at 5:45 of 7-7:45 to come back. So any time during that slot. We came back at 7:30 and were seated within 5-10 minutes at the bar (the people in front of him got the patio - so just chance where you end up.) So yes, super hard to get a reservation, but definitely doable to come and eat here if you want to. Overall a great place, will be a place we return even with the extra effort required.

Had the pleasure of dining at Tatiana's a few days ago for my husband's birthday! He was looking forward to trying one of their signature dishes- the infamous oxtails! This restaurant didn't disappoint! There were so many delicious items on the menu that making choices was difficult! The oxtail patties are a must as well as the pastrami- so many dishes to try and enjoy, and the cocktails didn't disappoint! The restaurant has a lot of energy and the buzz was positive. Special thank you to the manager Jake Myers whose professionalism made the evening that more special! Tatiana is a must if you are seeking a Caribean/African experience in New York City!!

You know how airport food has a big disconnect with the prices they charge and the food's quality? That's Tatiana, except Tatiana takes the cake. Make no mistake though, the food is indeed good. But at $50+ on average for a main and $20+ for an appetizer, I expected better and thought I would learn something new. Furthermore, service was shockingly bad and inconsistent. We had some wait staff that were cordial, but our primary waitress gave us an attitude straight from the start. I would happily pay up if the food was really out of this world, but at the current quality of food and service Tatiana does not deserve its price point and the hype. I probably would only go back if I were starving or forced to - just like with airport vendors.
Be the first to ReplyFood and service were pretty good overall.
I definitely prefer the appetizers more than the entrees. I love the music they were playing - good 90s and early 2000s throwbacks. I would go again to try the other dish. Appetizer/Small Plates Ordered: - Crispy Okra - Egusi Dumplings - Curry Lamb Patties Large/entrees - Braised oxtails - giant oxtails; super tender - Short Rib Pastrami Suya- good but nothing special. I wouldn't get it again (imo slightly overpriced) Dessert - Bodega Special - great way to end the meal
Be the first to ReplyThe food is absolutely amazing.
You can't go wrong with anything that you choose. The service was excellent. The vibe is very cool with music playing overhead. I HIGHLY recommend and it will exceed your expectations.
Be the first to ReplyThree of us tried to get a reservation as soon as they
Three of us tried to get a reservation as soon as they opened to no avail. So it being a Saturday, we decided to get there 2 hours prior to opening., we were first in line and knew that they will not seat parties greater than 2 at the bar. That said, when the walk in line was finally allowed in, we were made to wait an additional 10 minutes while parties behind us in line were allowed in. When we finally were seated on the patio, I failed to understand why we were made to wait that additional time when we obviously were going to be seated out there from the beginning. And, having waited the two hours with an immobilizer boot on, it would have been nice to be seated in a timely manner. The service was excellent and the food and drinks great but be prepared for entrees with hefty prices with small portion size not warranting them. One experience is enough
Be the first to ReplyFor NYT's #1 spot in NYC - this place fell SHORT.
Or NYT is going to crap; both are probably true Was lucky to only have waited an hour for a walk-in, but would not re-visit even if a reservation fell into my lap. Didn't find anything to be upset about with the food, but also was not really impressed with any dish. Felt that the flavors were largely muted and the restaurant was afraid to make any bold statements on anything. Prices are typical of fine dining, but imo there are lots of other fine dining places to either 1) come out feeling more full; 2) feel like the chef taught you something new regarding flavor profiles, cuisines, etc; 3) any of the above. Alternatively - go to any one of the hundreds of non-fine dining restaurants and actually have a better time. Candidly, my experience was also colored by really rude service. Completely deadpan attitude; didn't write down our orders and ended up having to come back twice to clarify; noticeable change in behavior and attitude if we didn't order enough food, drinks, or refused dessert ($20 for a Little Debbie's brownie - was I being pranked?). Came around when we had 2 bites left in the short rib dish to ask 'why we weren't using the bread and making a sandwich out of the meat as the chef intended'...probably because no one actually bothered to tell us that. Ignoring that, this would still only be a 7.5/10, 8 on a generous day. Don't waste your time or money if you care about either. If you don't, keep refreshing those Resy's just to tell everyone that you've been to the top restaurant in NYC.

Excellent! The food and ambiance were top notch! Highly recommend the crispy okra, Hamachi esecovitch, short ribs pastrami, and the red snapper! And the Harlem white chocolate, cheesecake to finish!
Be the first to ReplyThe staff was amazing.
Kudos to whoever is in charge of the playlist. The food was good, but I believe it is overhyped. No real bar due to bar seating used for reservations. If there is a random opening I would go back but would jump through hoops to obtain a reservation.
Be the first to ReplyThe hype is real.
Great flavors, innovative combinations and just damn tasty! We tried some of the more popular dishes and they all were great. The best dishes were the curried goat patties (tons of flavor) and the Short rib pastrami suya which was tender and delicious. It was paired with a melted red cabbage which we couldn't get enough of. The take-out mushrooms were really good but the star of that dish was the scallion pancake which was one of the best I've ever had. I'm still amazed that it held its heat the entire meal. We also had the egusi dumplings which were very good but completely overshadowed by the other dishes. Still good but felt bland compared to the goat patties. The recommended was 2 small and 2 main dishes but that seemed a bit too much, especially since many of our dishes had a lot of carbs. 3 small and 1 main is probably more appropriate. Overall a great visit and we'll be back.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent and special place.
Sleek vibe with a great playlist (a little loud for those that mind - not me!). Within Lincoln Square - can be a bit tricky to locate. All of the food was incredible. Do not sleep on the crispy okra. I could have eaten another two orders - the perfect amount of spice to make them truly addictive. Also, you cannot miss the Short Rib Pastrami. The presentation is beautiful and the taste is even better. Additionally, you can get creative as you eat with the bread to make sandwiches, cabbage, spice rub, and sauce. Highly recommend reading a bit on Kwame Onwuachi - great story.
Be the first to ReplyI cannot say enough about this exceptional restaurant.
I have been following the chef for some time and finally was able to get a reservation for my anniversary. The location is in the middle of Lincoln Center and was beyond gorgeous to compliment this equally elegant restaurant. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by friendly staff who were immediately attentive and responsive and didn't feel pretentious or stuffy. I started at the bar and enjoyed two cocktails while I waited for my plus 1. The drinks were fantastic. By the way, I am a mixologist who travels to exceptional cocktail bars. This place had drinks that stood out. They were refreshing, while spirited and tasty. The nut cracker was not too boozy, but a delightful game changer like I have never had before (I usually hate this drink made by other establishments). Then, once we were seated, we ordered a medley of dishes from the Hamachi Eschovitch, to the Oxtail and Crab Rangoon and the Egusi Dumplings to start. Everything we ordered was eclectic, unique and truly melted in your mouth. Some items had a bit of a kick, but nothing overwhelming (except for the side sauce provided - beware). Then, for dinner, we enjoyed the Sofrito Roasted Chicken which was perfectly cooked, juicy and had an assortment of flavors and reminders of my childhood (just like grandma made). We also ordered Mom's Shrimp Dish which was another award winning dish. For dessert, we ended the meal with the rum cake. Spectacular! I highly recommend this phenomenal restaurant for a unique and exceptional culinary experience. Kudos to Kwame and wishing you much success.
Be the first to ReplyIncredible restaurant that lives up to the hype,
Incredible restaurant that lives up to the hype, considering how hard it is to get a reservation at this place. Ambiance and vibe of the place is amazing, upscale venue but they're playing upbeat music the entire team. Service was superior. Food was incredible. For two people, we did two apps and two mains. The goat patties to start is a staple. For mains, highly recommend the braised oxtail. We also did the Harlem chocolate factory white chocolate cheesecake for dessert, which was unreal.
Be the first to ReplyI got so lucky on a Monday that I was on my phone and Resy
I got so lucky on a Monday that I was on my phone and Resy notification popped up that a table opened up at 5pm, and I quickly snagged it! When I got there, there was already a line of around 20 people waiting at 5pm, so just know that if you are planning to try walk in. Anyway, I'm so happy that a restaurant like this exists in New York. It's so refreshing, chic and very unique. Service is great and the ambiance is a vibe. You may end up seeing a celebrity! I saw Jerry Seinfeld sitting two tables away from me. Now the food, we tried the goat patties, lamb hummus, dumplings, jumbo shrimp and my partner tried the oxtail stew. Got the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious, but what stood out to me the most were the goat patties and the shrimp. These two were bursting with flavor and they were just amazing. I would definitely come back here, if I can get a reservation! Lol
Be the first to ReplyI was very excited to try out this restaurant.
I love the concept, Afro Caribbean by way of NYC. However I was a little disappointed in the food. The food did not come out hot at all. The pastrami, the dish I was looking forward to the most, came out barely warm and dry. I am very familiar with suya and the suya powder seemed diluted. We didn't even finish it. My favorite dish was the egusi dumplings. I also liked the rangoons. The atmosphere is nice and the service wasn't that bad. I was surprised how good the drinks were. I got the Negroni and the nutcracker which was recommended. I am hoping they make some changes and perhaps I may go back. But overall overpriced for an average meal.
Be the first to ReplyThe food here is absolutely delicious.
The customer service is perfect , and the setting is just right . I definitely would recommend going if you're lucky enough to get reservations . I will most definitely be going back when i get that chance . I had curry goat empanadas, crab/oxtail Rangoon , braised oxtail , fried Branzino , and the donut ice cream with cosmos brownies for dessert . Lemon drops for drinks . Check out my tik tok ( jeriicarenee9 ) and my reel on ig Jeriicarenee .

Delicious meal filled with unique riffs on delicious flavors. The patties and the pastrami are MUSTS as well as the cosmic brownie - the donut icecream was so cool! Very cool space and atmosphere. Service was okay, would have expected better for the cost/vibe - I think we just got unlucky with our server as the waitress serving the table next to us seemed to be phenomenal. Excited to see what Kwame does next!
Be the first to ReplyOMG after finally getting a reservation I must say it was
OMG after finally getting a reservation I must say it was worth the hassle . Me and two of my friends decided. To eat here one night while he was in the city from DC . The atmosphere , food and service was the bomb . We tried a the coco bread , Honeynut Piri Piri salad, Egusi dumplings, Truffle chop cheese , the braised oxtail and the snapper. I enjoyed every single item we ordered my favorite was the oxtails and the truffle chop cheese . If you can get a reservation you will not be disappointed.
Be the first to ReplyI was super excited to try Tatiana, and it did not
I was super excited to try Tatiana, and it did not disappoint. My first time here was with two friends and my mom, and I knew I had to show my boyfriend. I came back with him on Tuesday, and we immediately made a reservation the next day for one month from now. We are devastated we have to wait a whole month to come back, so we might try to walk in for bar seating sometime sooner.Dishes (in order of my favorite to least favorite) 1. Goat Patties: MUST TRY. My mom's favorite. My two friends' favorite. My favorite. I would eat 6 of these myself.2. Chopped Cheese: Worth trying if you like patty melts. This was my boyfriend's favorite dish. 3. Black bean hummus: everyone is skeptical when I say this dish slaps because they're thinking "how can hummus be that good?" It is. There's some chili oil for spice and the ground lamb bits are so good. 4. Oxtail: very tender and the coconut rice that it is served with is so good too.5. Wagyu pastrami: very rich. It was a good dish but I was so full at this point.6. Hamachi: a very light dish but nothing particularly special7. Egusi dumplings: thought this was just ok.
Be the first to ReplyI cannot say enough about the quality and excellent
I cannot say enough about the quality and excellent experience my wife and I had at this restaurant in NYC. The food was simply superb and the drinks were amazing. I mean... amazing! I highly recommend this spot though it is expensive. That being said, one item I thought was great was that their dishes can be shared between individuals so that despite the expense, it was not over what we may have otherwise spent at other fancy places we have gone to in recent times, where the PPP was through the roof! All I can say is that fine dining is not without a cost and the reality is that great food is worth every dollar when you walk out with a smile from side to side.Likewise, the ambiance and friendliness of the staff are also details that have to be brought into view because it wasn't that the food was, Aline, great, but the experience was wonderful.Try that pastrami ditch... OMG! What a delight. If you get a chance, check'm out!
Be the first to ReplyMediocre experience.
Came to celebrate my birthday and was really excited to be able to secure a reservation the day before. I wanted to add an additional family member to my reservation so I called and left a message (they were closed on Monday). I made sure to call as early as I could day-of, to request the addition, and did not have high expectations, but figured it was worth a shot. The host who answered was very nice, and assured me that she could add a third to the party, but would need push the reservation time to 15 minutes later. I told her that was absolutely fine and thanked her. I got an email notification from resy that the time was changed, but didn't actually read the email because I trusted that all would be as discussed. I also noted that it was a birthday - not only in the voicemail, but on resy.Fast forward to arriving at the restaurant: two members of our three-person party arrived ~15 minutes early, and checked in, but were told the party needed to be complete to be seated. The hosts surprisingly had no knowledge of the change from two to three people... when I heard this and checked the email, sure enough, it still said two people. This was disappointing because it seemed to impact where we were able to sit in the restaurant. I was a few minutes late. I don't think more than 6 or 7 minutes - if that much - and we ended up seated in the less-appealing area of the restaurant - not the main dining area. I asked the host who sat us if there was a possibility we could be seated elsewhere, even if there was a wait, and the manager (not sure if this was the host manager or manager of the restaurant) stated that everyone had just been seated, but didn't really seem apologetic about it. Throughout the couple of hours we spent there, I also saw a six-top that had the luxury of being seated as an incomplete party (only half had been at the table within the first hour were were there), so I found that interesting.There is no uniformity in the restaurant in terms of dress. While it's fantastic that there's no dress code for patrons - the staff dress code is disjointed. All of the servers and runners had a clear dress code. Dark slacks/shirts. I think some may have even had half-aprons. Of what felt like the five or six hosts milling about at the stand: there were two in dark slacks and blazers, some with sneakers and dresses, one with an oversized sweatshirt on....the person who was introduced as the manager was dressed just as casually with a crop top and short skirt. It was giving confusion... why have a clear dress code for some staff but not others?Out server was okay in the beginning. We couldn't hear her, and she couldn't hear us due to the volume of the music (which was very good, by the way!) but we eventually got our orders in. No ask about us celebrating or anything. The main food arrived hot and I can't complain about the taste at all, but it was pricey for the portions. We didn't see our server again or have her ask if all was okay until we were just about scraping the last bits off of our plates. No desire to make the dining experience special. Dessert was the least exciting taste-wise and although I shouldn't have been - based on the service prior to dessert - I was surprised that there wasn't even a candle in the cosmic brownie or the extra order (tiny - half scoop?) of ice cream.Maybe it was an off night all-around. The food was solid, albeit pricey, but after that experience I wouldn't give high marks for service outside of the incredibly prompt and polite food runners. I'm really disappointed that the experience wasn't a special one for my birthday.
Be the first to ReplyAfter visiting Kwame's restaurant Kith & Kin in DC back in
After visiting Kwame's restaurant Kith & Kin in DC back in 2018, I was excited to check out his latest Lincoln Center endeavor. The menu was different of course but the vibes were still the same. A fusion of Afro-Carribbean in his own modern take that draws flavors from New York City and the culture here. Egusi dumplings and black bean hummus tells this story perfectly. Blending flavors and spinning classics into new favorites the menu features a selection of large plates and small. We focused on trying things we've never had before and started with the scallops pinchos that had a jerk bbq sauce on top. Smokey and a bit sweet, the scallops were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the black bean hummus, truffle chopped cheese, and crispy okra along with the dumplings and hummus. All of which I recommend. The berber spiced lamb on the hummus was so delicious, especially when dipped with the crisp flat bread it comes with. The okra is dry-fried, not 100% sure what that means but it translates to very light and crispy. Not slimy at all and covered in a spice rub. I know these were all the small plates but as a party of two, I wish there was just a tad bit more. Groups of 3+ should definitely order a large plate in addition to a few small. This is the kind of place where the flavor and ingredients are the star of the show. Not a huge portions fill up kind of place, quality over quantity and giving you flavors to savor kind of place. Make a reservation and try the cosmic brownie dessert.
