Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Kew Gardens

The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.

The holiday menu was simply delicious! The service was phenomenal. I appreciated that the chef made changes to the menu to accommodate someone in our party with shellfish allergies.

It was a wonderful Christmas dinner! Food was excellent and the whole service crew was very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Jasmine who has been phenomenal! We learned about the Christmas cabin from her the last time we were at the restaurant!

Honestly pretty noisy but I feel like it’s intentional so the tables feel more secluded. Personally wish the seats didn’t have a stool separating when dining for 2 but that’s more preferential. The food is phenomenal staff is so so friendly—it feels like they are background actors haha. The space is very intentional well done. Aquavit does not even compare to this if a date is what you’re looking for. The food is also very interesting while aquavit is more classical well done Swedish dishes this is a great space for a date as the dishes give you something to talk about with your partner that pertains to the space you’re in.

The food and service are perfection! If you want a quiet place to go and talk - this is not the plane. Very loud! But worth the loudness for the food!
