This place has it all! The brunch menu is fantastic, with everything from perfect omelets to indulgent Eggs Benedict. The avocado toast is fresh and satisfying, and the pancakes are fluffy and sweet. For dinner, the burgers are juicy and delicious. It’s a great spot for big groups with a welcoming, easy-going vibe.

The service was incredible. Everyone is so welcoming and super professional. Food is very good and delicious. I had bone Marrow, truffle fries also we had escargots and 16 oz dry- aged T bone( I didn’t got chance to take a pic of it cause it was so delicious) also for the dessert we got upside down pineapple cake.Ambience was ON TOP! Definitely recommend to visit! It’s a perfect location close to Central Park,Times Square if you visiting from outside and staying in the area you must visit this place!

Absolutely great space. Beautiful bar area and gorgeous staircase leading up to the second floor seating which offers privacy should you plan a private party. Great service, attentive and friendly staff. On the food side… getting there. IMO, it lacks finesse both in taste and presentation. What I am about to say, mind you, is all criticism on high-level. For instance, if a cream-based soup is not balanced with acidity you won’t be able to eat more than 3 spoons until your stomach tells you: enough. The celery-apple soup, a long-time favorite in my household, didn’t offer the sweet and tart apple taste it needs to counter the heavy cream. The French onion soup, IMO one of the best ones in midtown, was filled tongue brim the brim and then overflowed when baked. And my goodness, be gentle on the amount of cheese you want to melt.. and then the pasta dish: why add cream to short rib ragout? It makes it look unappealing and is also not necessary for taste. Tasteless good though, but again, the heavy cream will not allow you to eat much. Again, high-level critique and I would return. But a gentle nudge to the chef to keep finessing so the restaurant will earn its place in the most-desired category.

I recently visited this restaurant, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The location is superb – right in the heart of New York City, offering a prestigious and vibrant setting. The ambiance is elegant and sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming, making it perfect for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. The food was exquisite, with every dish crafted to perfection, both in flavor and presentation. The cocktails were just as impressive – creative, beautifully balanced, and expertly prepared. The service was outstanding. The staff were attentive, professional, and made sure every detail was taken care of. This place truly knows how to make its guests feel special. I can’t wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in NYC!

Went with work colleagues. I am not a great fan of French cuisine being vegetarian. This place was great though. The set meal option was great. Wine and drinks were awesome. Loved the service and the ambience. Nice and easy midtown location. Highly recommend.

Our server Cesar was attentive and kept the courses and beverages flowing in a smooth and timely manner. The food was exquisite (get the bone marrow! It is worth it even if you are not an adventurous eater! Spread it like butter across the bread!) and the atmosphere was perfect for an intimate date.

Amazing meal. Cesar was our waiter and was amazing - so kind, responsive and fast. We kept saying how good the service was. Very good classic American / French spot. Come hungry!!

This beautiful French restaurant may not have an extensive menu, but it offers more variety than expected with daily specials and seasonal options. Every dish exceeded expectations in taste, the service was friendly, and above all, the atmosphere was wonderful. The only downside was the limited wine selection, but the reasonable pricing made up for it.

Lovely place to grab lunch. I opted for the breakfast for lunch vibe. The blueberry pancake is divine! The eggs were fresh. Torianna was so wonderful, she is a wonder woman! Definitely stop by.

My favorite from this restaurant is lamb tartar!!! And ginger cocktail. We also ordered grilled octopus, steak frites and duck - everything was delicious! And our server was the best (I’m not sure if I spell his name right - Bochi), he made sure we had a great experience in the restaurant! Atmosphere in the restaurant was great too!

The Consulate Midtown is a beautiful restaurant and we were greeted with a smile and kind hostess. We were seated at a quiet upstairs table per my reservation request. As far as the service I’m truly torn. Our server was very nice, but seemed she might be new, if not, she should know more about the drinks and menu. Everyone enjoyed their specialty cocktails. I will add that the Tito’s vodka soda w/a splash of cranberry was $24 +$7 for an extra shot — $31! It didn’t even taste like a double. We know drinks are pricey and are fine with it, but seriously? And then it was time for appetizers. I wanted the Tartare Trio (tuna, salmon, crab), but I don’t eat salmon, so requested to switch it for another of the offerings within the trio, to which I was told “we can not do that.” I did not ask to switch the salmon to lobster tail, so this was very off putting and I decided to forego an appetizer all together (they lost $22 and a star on this review for declining that very easy accommodation). The other appetizers a pork rib special and crab cake were all very good. When it came to ordering our entrees we all decided on steak; two filet mignon and two rib-eye. Again I asked to substitute the mashed potatoes for crispy mushrooms (exact same price on the menu) I was told she would have to check with the chef. However, my husband was able to choose any side with his rib-eye, so he ordered the mushrooms and we just swapped. Both of the filets were delicious and the crispy mushrooms were fabulous. Unfortunately, my husband and our friend who ordered the rib-eyes medium rare were given medium. Anyone that orders steak and has to send it back knows it’s a kill joy for the meal, so they both said the flavor was decent and they would just eat them. We were full and decided to pass on dessert, BUT, our server brought out a Creme Brûlée for our friend’s anniversary. That was extremely kind and appreciated. As we were leaving, the same hostess was kind enough to take a few photos of us. Overall our experience was clearly mixed. The problem is in NYC where there’s so many restaurants to choose from, you really have to hit all the marks. So, we’re not sure if we’d go again.

Celebrating my birthday at this French restaurant was undoubtedly an exquisite experience from start to finish. The ambiance alone sets the stage for a memorable dining affair, with its sophisticated charm and inviting atmosphere that elevates any special occasion. The culinary journey began with the artichoke appetizer, a delightful prelude to the culinary delights that awaited. The Wild Mushrooms Truffle Pinza stole the show with its medley of sautéed wild mushrooms, creamy goat cheese, fragrant truffle oil, and fresh chives atop perfectly baked Pinza bread. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. The French onion soup at this remarkable restaurant is a culinary masterpiece that deserves special recognition. The richness and depth of flavor in every spoonful of this classic dish is truly something to behold. The sweet caramelized onions, savory beef broth, and decadent melted cheese perfectly meld together to create a symphony of flavors that warms both the heart and soul. The presentation of the French onion soup is as exquisite as its taste, with the gooey, golden-brown layer of cheese cascading over the rim of the bowl, inviting you to dive into its comforting embrace. The sight and aroma alone are enough to evoke a sense of nostalgia and anticipation for the culinary delight that awaits. Each spoonful of this soup is a journey through layers of complex and harmonious flavors, with the slight sweetness of the onions balancing beautifully against the savory richness of the broth. The melted cheese adds a luxurious creaminess that ties everything together, creating a truly indulgent and satisfying experience. Moving on to the main courses, the Pesto Reginetti Pasta showcased the simplicity and elegance of classic French cuisine, with al dente pasta coated in a vibrant pesto sauce that celebrated the freshness of the ingredients. And then, the pièce de résistance – the Tomahawk Steak for 2. The 48oz of perfectly cooked steak, accompanied by roasted herb potatoes, chimichurri sauce, and tender broccolini, was a carnivorous delight that left a lasting impression. Complementing these culinary masterpieces were the exquisite cocktails. The "Oui Mademoiselle" cocktail, with its tantalizing blend of vodka, elderflower, blackberry puree, lemon, and sparkling wine, was a true work of art in a glass. Its harmonious mix of flavors and elegant presentation added an extra touch of glamour to the evening. Overall, dining at this French restaurant was a sensory experience like no other. From the impeccable dishes to the outstanding cocktails, every detail was crafted with care and precision. For a birthday celebration or any special occasion, this restaurant promises an unforgettable culinary journey that will linger in your memory long after the last bite has been savored.

Had a business lunch at The Consulate and loved it. The tuna tartare was beautifully presented and the perfect start to the meal. The service was stellar and the dining room on the second floor was beautifully designed. The tuna sandwich and perfectly cooked fries were equally satisfying. Look forward to having the excuse to come back for happy hour to try more. Loved my time here.

Great place for dinner before a show at City Center or The Manhattan Theater Club. Beautiful setting, impeccably attentive service, and each delicious dish is artfully presented. Loved the bone marrow appetizer and the roasted branzino with crispy skin over a cilantro sauce. Shaved fennel on top is a perfect finishing touch!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Couple of month ago I was here with my team from work for drinks and I loved the interior. Today I decided come back for dinner. Love Parisian vibe. Was not expecting that the food will be so incredible, authentic French flavors. Everything was so so delicious 😋🤍 and the staff were really attentive, we even got the best table where we were able to see the whole restaurant and ambience . I can't wait to go back!

Beautiful and comfortable environment. Enjoyed the delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. Love the caviar. The vegetables are tasty. My sister and I had a wonderful time dining and chatting. Had fun taking photo by the stair with my sister and owner Miki. Great for families and friends gathering. Love to come back again and again.

Things I liked: even on a busy night the restaurant was still quiet with well-sized tables and nice decor. The bar is very cute. Presentation of dishes is nice. People liked the lobster risotto. Things that underwhelmed me: the gnocchi was more generic in flavor It had mostly slightly sautéed button mushrooms and a slight truffle aroma but nothing that carried through into the taste. Service was fine.

Me and my husband booked a table for 13 for a post wedding lunch last October 11, 2024. I have nothing but positive to say for our lunch event. We had a nice and quiet table on the second floor and all our servers were very professional and friendly. They gave us a free champagne and came out with two sparklers for me and my husband. We found this very sweet and got really nice photos out of it! The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal from the starters to mains and desserts! They far outweighed our expectations and we are very content and happy. I have no regrets choosing them for our wedding lunch. The ambience was also perfect even though it was lunch time, the lighting inside made us feel like we were having a nice relaxed dinner which we liked and was exactly the ambience we were looking for. Overall, I highly recommend and want to say thanks to the events team and The Consulate!

Stopped by after an event at the MoMA down the street and was impressed by the cozy, dimly lit, lowkey vibes of the place. Was even more surprised by the delicious quality of the food. Did light bites and drinks but remember the cocktails being nice and strong, the bone marrow being rich and the tuna tartare being layered with flavor including a nice bit of avocado for consistency.

My favorite spot for lunch in Midtown! Torianna is a welcoming presence behind the bar, crafting fantastic cocktails, giving great menu recommendations, and adding to the warm atmosphere with her kindness and wit. My favorite dishes are the croque monsieur on Tuesdays, the tuna sandwich on Wednesdays and the avocado and salmon toast on Fridays. In terms of cocktails, the Malalama, Ginger Optional, French 76 and Consulate Old Fashioned are all wonderfully crafted and delicious.

Great dinner experience! Delicious food, extensive menu, nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Highlights: escargot and bread were amazing, special watermelon, mint, & Gorgonzola salad, delicious duck and truffle fries, and great sundae. Soft, jazzy, sultry music sets a nice ambiance for conversation. Soft, ambient lighting. Ideal for dates and visitors.
