Food review insights for New York, United States

"Not worth $1,000 for two people. The food was underwhelming—overly salty, sour, and too sweet. The staff was unprofessional, which was surprising for a Michelin-starred restaurant. This was the first time I’ve experienced such poor service at this level. I don’t drink alcohol or enjoy mocktails, so I simply asked if they had a mocktail list (not a pairing menu). The server said no and didn’t offer a beverage menu. Only later did I discover they had a tea selection, but I had to ask for the menu myself. It felt like she didn’t know how to properly handle guests. The chefs were serving dishes, and one of them seemed visibly angry. While I don’t expect excessive friendliness, his demeanor was unsettling. Overall, I didn’t enjoy the meal and am genuinely surprised this restaurant holds two Michelin stars.

$12 for a Tito's and soda. Insulting is an understatement. Heard lots of great things about this place, but I have no idea what they were talking about. The place is small, with uncomfortable chairs and way overpriced drinks. The menu is pathetically small and overpriced. Additionally they had a "security guard" at the door, which was very off putting. Never ever going to spend another penny here. Move on to places that actually care

$18 per glass of wine and when we went up to bar to request napkins and more water for the table, napkins from the bathroom and glasses of water were rudely shoved onto our table while our empty water glasses laid unattended on the table. Also, this place only has a few food items that are all salty items to ensure patrons keep drinking their overpriced drinks. Here’s a hot tip: If you have run out of napkins at a venue like this, have some sense send someone down the street to buy appropriate napkins to get you through your shortage. Do not commingle things from the bathroom on dining tables, particularly when you price your menu this way. There are much better cocktail and wine spots in Tribeca…and the city at large. So, that’s where I will go…

$ 9.99 for 5 cheese sticks tasted like they were frozen. We went with a groupon and were treated second class. Was told the Groupon would only cover dinner items ( Groupon said anything on the menu ) Would not give us the salads that came with the dinner items. And the sauces were not as good a Olive Garden and I don't consider Olive Garden a good example of Italian food. The back room was much better looking than the garish front. So, I thought the value was poor, the service somewhat hostile and the food mediocre. Would never go back

$71 for a dry meager piece of Dover sole without any side dish is over the top ridiculous even for Manhattan. This was a special so the price wasn’t noted anywhere. I might have asked the waitress for the price but we were entertaining a friend from Europe & didn’t want to appear tacky. If the fish was extraordinary I would have overlooked the expense but unfortunately this wasn’t the case. The bill for four people for 2 cocktails, 1 glass of wine,1 coke & 3 fish and 1 chicken dish with no appetizers or desert was with tip over $400- there are many, many other great restaurants in New York -skip this one

- Had very good reviews online so decided to come here before a concert at the waiting room (in walking distance) - I don't know if it was just what we ordered but it was not good at all..both of us got chicken in our meal and it was disgusting...rubbery and had ZERO flavour. - My boyfriend got the wings and he couldn't even eat them he said it tasted gross..the blue cheese wasn't even real blue cheese..it was so fake. - I had the greek salad with chicken and it had ZERO flavour which I can't understand with greek food. The dressing had no much vinegar in it and the chicken was lukewarm which wilted the salad. - Was so hungry when we left and it was expensive to top it off. - Would try again based on the great reviews but would NOT get chicken again.

As locals, we love to support local businesses and find gems in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, Printemps hugely misses the mark. We had a party of 4 for a 5:30 PM booking, but there was no table available. We were asked to wait, which was no issue, until around 20 minutes passed, and our party was forgotten. Upon returning to the host stand, the new host was unaware of the situation, and we were then sat as if this was an absolutely acceptable occurrence. After being sat, it took quite some time for a server to approach our table for orders, and then it was as if our table was completely forgotten the rest of the evening. After plates had been cleared and our party was sitting for an extended period of time, we had to ask for the check - of which left our table with two cards and returned with one. Upon letting the staff know, the card was found, and albeit apologetic, we were informed this happens often due to the check holder design. Concerning, to say the very least. The food and drink were great, but for the prices and appearance that Printemps sets forth, the experience was entirely unacceptable. We will not be coming back any time soon and will be advising our friends of this unfortunate experience to hopefully save them from the same.

We went to dinner late on a Friday night based on a friend’s recommendation and I made the rookie mistake of not making a reservation. Despite what looked like many open tables in the reserved section, our party of four was instead seated in a crowded area at a table for two. Not ideal but we dealt with it. Our server was awesome and the food we got was delicious. Highly recommend the short rib porter pie, the chicken pot pie, fish and chips, and lobster mac and cheese. We ordered some appetizers, but they showed up after our main courses, so there literally wasn’t anywhere to put the food, and we sent them back. Overall, I’d go back, but I would definitely make a reservation.
