Hit up new Cantonese restaurant Bonnie’s this past weekend.
We thought it was very good. There was a line for bar seats already formed at 4:45. The wine list is currently small and all natural. Corkage is $40 per bottle with a one bottle limit. We ordered one bottle and open another we brought and the corkage was not on the bill which was a nice gesture. Service and hospitality was excellent. We look forward to going back.
Not a restaurant per se…but has anyone else had the experience where you set a “notify” on Resy, and then wake up in the morning and find that not only did a table become available, but Resy automatically booked it for you? Can’t say I mind this for a restaurant that doesn’t involve prepaying, but a bit weird especially as I certainly could have missed the 2am email?
(Also, how does a table for 10 days out somehow become available at 2am when nothing was available when I checked 6 hours earlier?)
I’ve gotten notifications that a table is now available but no automatic reservation. I have to go on Resy and make the reservation myself. I have no idea how the app works with opening up tables.
Notification emails (and I believe text messages, as well) that a table is available. Never did they book for me. I had to click through the link on the email to book for myself, if I still need the table(s).
Thanks! Yes thought this was very strange esp that it happened at 2am!
We are doing a trip at the end of March to Manhattan. My wife and I are going to try and go to dinner while we leave the kids at the hotel. We would like to have a nice dinner, but I really don’t want to have to pack a jacket and shoes. She mentioned Le Barnardin, but that is more like jacket and shoes. I would like to have a few examples to discuss something different.
Any thoughts?
We are staying 4-6 blocks of the south end of Central Park. Style of food doesn’t matter, but having nice wine and cocktail options is a plus. I read about an Indian restaurant the last few days that has a fancy rabbit dinner that intrigued me.
You might have better results if you ask your questions in the New York City Restaurants thread here
Agree about asking in the NY Thread. The Indian restaurant, Dhamaka, you mentioned is super casual, loud and one of the hardest reservations to get.
My favorite overall high-end restaurant at this Moment is Atomix. However you are already late for a lot of the harder to get in places. Jua which is similar in some ways, easier to get in and a shorter, less expensive tasting menu. Both Chefs worked at Jungsik which is also excellent. All three are part of the amazing Korean crew which is ruling the NYC restaurant scene at the moment.
Can anyone recommend somewhere that can accommodate 14 people? TIA
Day of the week? Time ? Area of NYC? Type of food preferred ? Budget ?
Saturday around 7-8pm, preferably Manhattan, open to all foods, any budget but anticipating ~$200pp
Merging threads and moving this to the ‘travel and restaurants’ forum where it is now a better fit
Thanks
This will help
I was searching Manhattan…
Charlie Bird, Legacy Records and if Brooklyn is an option Rule of Thirds.
I probably post most in the various city restaurant threads and I know they are extremely helpful because I get a lot of PM thank you notes and also restaurants mention it to me.
Would it be possible to move all of them over here? Paris, San Francisco, LA etc. Otherwise it is pretty confusing.
Agreed. Move them from Food .
Just curious why? This has to be one of the more popular and valuable threads on the forum with over 200,000 posts. I accidentally posted my last Rieslingstudy post in the Epicurean thread and before I realized it had more comments and opens by far than the offline thread. There seems to be a lot of regular traffic there. The epicurean thread is where a lot of people go for this type of information as judged by the number of threads there and comments. As someone who eats out regularly I check Epicurean daily; however, I rarely check the travel thread. I am cool with either but I do think it is worth pointing out that these restaurant threads are working very well in Epicurean and if we move one we should move all of them.
Doesn’t matter to me which forum this and other threads goes in, but some consistency would be nice at least. Some threads are in Epicurean, others are in Travel. Always takes me a minute to find the New York and other threads because I never remember which forum which thread is in.
The forum title is …… Restaurant….
Is that not where threads on restaurants belong ?
???
Maybe we have a miscommunication??
