tl;dr: Absolutely everything is excellent. I came in for a just-myself birthday dinner and I was incredibly pleased. Want the history of anything? Want to understand what a word means when its used to describe food? Dont know what you should like? Yeah, theyve got you. If you do already have an incredibly seasoned palate, they will surely still surprise you with the delivery of excellence. While everything is absolutely amazing, the caramelized onion crepe can make a persons world transform into a French hunting lodge when paired with the well-paired red wine. There was a moment where the crepe was melting in my mouth amongst with the red wine and I was stating up mindlessly at the chandelier; it was the taste of versailles decadence.

If you want to experience what can be described as the tasting menu of a lifetime, Vetri is the place to go. We enjoyed the food, prepared in Vetris kitchen, every item on the tasting menu (the only kind available there) brings something new and fresh with the chefs twist. Since the place is small, he can devote his attention to every dish. Perfect for that special occasion when you want to experience something that can be equated to The French Laundry on the East Coast ( for even better prices, as well).

IF you want flashy fancy food stacked high with lots of fussy garnishes, this is not the place for you. If you want perfectly executed simple dishes that feature a few exquisite ingredients, youll love Vetri. Hands-down the best pasta and gnocchi Ive ever eaten (and Ive eaten a lot). The antipasti were amazing, the wines were mind-blowing, the service couldnt have been better. Ive dined at lots of high-end restaurants and Ive never before felt my money was so well spent.

Delicious? Yes. Outstanding? Not even close. I will not say that I didnt enjoy my meal, but for $155 a person, I expected more. Two of the courses had a heavy parmigiana flavor. My main course shared a very similar truffle flavored sauce to the pasta I had the course prior. In my opinion, each course should be distinct in flavor. If a chef tasting is what youre looking for, do yourself a favor and go to The Gramercy Tavern in NY. Mind blowingly delicious and unique courses.

Vetri lived up the the very high expectations. From the attentive and extremely helpful service to the lovely food and fun wine pairings, it was 2 1/2 hours of pure pleasure. We handed our menus back to our server and placed ourselves into the capable hands of Marc Vetris staff. It is almost impossible to believe others have left Vetri hungry. Seven small courses with wine spread out over the evening was plenty of food for everyone at our table.

An impeccable staff from the kitchen to the front of the house. They never fail to impress with their menus and wine pairings. Very much a fine dining restaurant the tables are well spaced and its never too loud or uncomfortable. The restaurant is lovely with a lot of classic Italian decorations such as Murano glass chandeliers. Well worth the price and how far in advance you should make your reservation.

Vetri would be my death row last meal, as it is the best meal Ive ever had the pleasure to taste, with outstanding service to boot. For my wife and I, without wine pairing and including tip and tax, we paid nearly $400 total. It was worth it in my book as a once a year type of meal. For the record, Vetri kept this restaurant for himself when he sold his restaurant group to Urban Outfitters.

“Exquisite Mediterranean cuisine” Book your table in advance as Zahav is always a destination in high demand among those seeking exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. They have a chefs menu too which is popular but its expensive and I would not recommend to those who dont want to seek all the experimental aspects and who are not looking for an elaborate lunch or dinner. Stick...

One of the greatest dining experiences of my life. The staff is fantastic. Great beer and wine selection. Its a beautiful space, even the bathrooms are cool. The food is simply off the charts. It is expensive, but if you really enjoy food, but could only afford a meal like this on rare occasions, Vetri would be a place not to be missed.

I cant stop thinking about what a wonderful evening I had last night celebrating a dear friends birthday. The food was the best I have ever eaten in my life, but it is the staff at Vetri that I want to thank. They were terrific. They went far out of their way to prepare fabulous gluten free foods for me. What a perfect meal. Wow.

What an experience! Fantastic food - I was excited for every dish they brought out. Too many favorites here. Great sized portions: small, but many dishes that left me absolutely stuffed. Would recommend for a special occasion. We had wine by the glass, they offer a top-notch and expensive wine pairing menu, if you want.

Very special place to pamper yourself to celebrate something extraordinary. Food impeccably prepared and service was exceptional. For us, the wine paring was too much alcohol for the meal. Our next experience will be to order a bottle of wine with dinner; that would have been a more adequate amount of wine.

Didnt live up to the hype. Must say that there were a couple outstanding dishes but not all were the same quality. The service was just OK. Cramped quarters. I heard more conversation from the table right next to us than I would care to. Estimate that it was 25% overpriced. Spend your $$ elsewhere.

what a pleasure, from the warm greeting to the amazing bar, then on to the restaurant, everything was impeccable. The bar has, unsurprisingly, every tequila imaginable, and staff who are experts on allof them, together with a visiting liquid chef when we visited who made the most amazing drinks.

our fourth visit (sadly we live 2 hours away) was another night of awesome deliciousness. the tasting menu was great as we got to try so many other dishes. Our party of four hungry eaters loved all the veggie options and could barely eat our main course. Service was informed and kind.

We have been to Talulas Garden for dinner a few times and always enjoy it. This time we came for a birthday brunch and was extremely happy with everything. We had to wait a few minutes for our table, but it was very crowded, so it was understandable and we were pleased with the table.

Dine here if you want to feel like youve been transported to an earlier time period. In terms of cuisine, the food is good, and the wine selection is excellent. This place really reminded me of the Revolutionary War arc in Shadowblazes Epicsaga books, and youll see what I mean.

“City Treasure” New Years Eve Dinner for two, chefs tasting was absolutely fabulous!! To give you a perspective on this place, a couple next to us traveled up from Washington DC just to eat dinner there. Atmosphere was great, service was outstanding, overall an excellent choice.

A world class dining experience, everything was exceptional. A special pescatarian menu was prepared for us. I can honestly say we were excited to see what was going to happen next. The service was thoroughly knowledgeable, organized, and personal, not stuffy or altivo.
