Best Historic Restaurants in SoHo

One If By Land is one of the most beautiful restaurants in New York, with the most exceptional service and ambience. The ambience feels special (and cozy) with subtle lighting, fresh flowers everywhere, as well as twinkling white lights and candles, and views of the garden patio. One member of our party was delayed in their arrival, and the restaurant graciously waited before beginning service, and never pressured us about the unexpected delay. The timing of every aspect of the entire evening was impeccable, with servers patiently waiting an appropriate amount of time at every stage of ordering and serving. The food was delicious with every course was prepared beautifully. We had the Beef Wellington, Rib Eye, and Halibut. For dessert, we all enjoyed chocolate soufflés and the waiters brought an extra plate of bite sized treats for a birthday we were celebrating. It was an evening we will never forget and we will undoubtedly return to One If By Land for special occasions, if we are lucky enough to secure a reservation!

Fabulous restaurant, one of my all-time favorites in NYC! Great food, superior service, gorgeous decor, and that SPECTACULAR 360-degree rooftop view. You feel like a celebrity. This is where you go when you want to have a special dining experience. Dripping crystal chandeliers, lush foliage inside and out, and the most comfortable, cushy seating. And in the warm weather you can dine outside on chic sofas, high above the pulsating metropolis of Manhattan overlooking the uber-edgy Meatpacking district. The lobster roll is outstanding, as is the burger, and they have the best fries: try the truffle or the sweet potato. Every floor is an exqusite RH showplace, so be sure to visit all five. It doesn't get any better than this!

My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.

outstanding experience! we have been coming to Emily WV since it opened. While the food has alwys been stellar, service has steadily declined…until this visit. Our server was outstanding and made our evening very enjoyable.

Great meal, I had the spare rib porter and it was excellent. The location, building and history are awesome. Highly recommend
