   Food was very good and service was pleasant but not as professional as it should have been (menus were left on table, a bit casual for the price)…. The beet plate was way overpriced for three small pieces of beet and three small pieces of endive on a huge plate. Basically excellent meal with only a couple of things I felt were not as professional as they should have been.

   Very expensive for what you get. The food isn’t outstanding and the service is adequate. For the prices you pay it should be an exceptional experience.

   This was our first visit to Asterid this season. We were going to the Opera so we had 5:30 reservations. Our hostess was so nice finding a perfect table for the 4 of us. Our waitress Malak noted the time we needed, making excellent suggestions. She surprised us with Prosecco for a toast for my husband’s birthday. The appetizers were served quickly & delicious with perfect martinis. We shared several salads & main dishes. Topped off by the delicious Budino dessert. Malak was friendly , professional, & knowledgeable. We look forward to more pre theater dinners . Thank you for the excellent service by all servers & the great team!!

   Our most recent visit to Asterid confirmed all the previous concerns I have had about dining here. The restaurant has still not figured out how to manage the pre-event rush that is inherent in their location. The service is uneven. The servers could not be nicer, however they are simply overwhelmed. The delivery of the food is erratic; we never received a dish and opted to skip it because the restaurant was becoming increasing frenetic and difficult to find anyone who would meet your eye. Again to be clear, every staff member is courteous and helpful when they can give a minute of their time. I remain hopeful that Asterid will find its equilibrium. It is a great location with an interesting menu. However, if you are looking for a relaxed and carefree way to start your evening before a concert or show then I would look elsewhere.

   The restaurant was lovely and service was attentive. The chicken liver mousse was delicious and the portion was enough for two to share as a starter. The chawanmushi was delicious, but the portion was only about two spoonfuls and not worth the $29. Loved the flavorful spiced short ribs.

    I have always enjoyed pre-matinee dining at Asterid, but am very disappointed that the brunch menu is gone. Only the dinner menu is available. The shrimp risotto was delicious, but should have had more than two shrimp.
