Forgione

This is not just farm to table. Its an experience. Firstly, finger foods literally is meant to be eaten with the fingers. Then comes everything else. The quality of food, the flavors and unique items. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The ambiance was warm yet upscale. Great birthday dinner for sure.

Food and cocktails were excellent!! Even though our table wasn’t ready at the time of our reservation, staff were apologetic and comped a glass of wine and an appetizer for the wait. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very cozy and overall we had a great time! We would definitely come back.

Excellent restaurant with a good atmosphere to go with it. Service was great, wine selection was excellent, I can see what people rave about this place. I highly recommend trying “The Egg” when you see it on the menu, don’t ask, just get it. Fun experience! Great place for a nice celebration, they definitely do the work to take care of you.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent atmosphere for any sort of gathering.Out of all the food we ordered we enjoyed:- agnolotti: super creamy and perfectly cooked, portion size is small but pretty heavy.- brick chicken: this was really well done especially for the price, the skin was perfectly crispy- cookie with ice creamI thought could probably skip:- Laotian sushi (although it was kind of interesting)- foie gras- chilli lobster (this was a little underwhelming)- halibut

Dining at Forgione is a wonderful experience. The food is stellar and the service is excellent and attentive. The sommeliers recommendations perfectly complemented our meal, enhancing our experience. Our server was great. From the warm ambiance to the personal touches, Forgione makes you feel good. Highly recommended for anyone seeking something that is worth it.

I stumbled upon a random TikTok my daughter sent me that was about FORGE being a great meal. We were visiting NYC so her and I decided to give it a try. It was hands down the BEST meal we had the entire trip. The portions were so great- we were able to try multiple items- we ordered the oysters and wings to start- followed by the chili lobster (which was hands down our favorite) for the main meal we did the brick chicken. Everything was so good we HAD to try dessert which was so fun because we ordered the “Egg”.What was so great besides the amazing food- the service was also the best we had had in New York. My daughter is only 13 and we had multiple experiences at other nicer restaurants where they took one look at my daughter and seemed instantly annoyed that i had a kid with me. Not at FORGE! They treated us so kind and my daughter said the whole experience was so amazing it was “life changing”. She even asked me if she could meet the chef to say thanks (which she has never asked before)Since COVID it seems the service industry isn’t what it used to be but coming here made me so hopeful that restaurants still care about customers experience. Will be back 100% and i will for sure recommend to everyone i know visiting NYC.

Seemed like the bar are was a bit short staffed but overall great experience and excellent food!

We had our Anniversary dinner here and loved everything. We basically ordered everything on the menu cause it’s hard to choose. The chef and the bakery chef are talented and mastered the art of flavors. Plus, my husband and I love the letter from the Forge Fam. Thank you for this beautiful night.

I don’t give 5 stars. This Tribeca mainstay is one I would recommend for any occasion, from the fanciest to an easy night out. The staff is friendly and professional with a sommelier who knows their wines and a customized menu by Marc Forgione himself. Over the many years of coming here, I have my faves which include the hiramasa, the lobster, the chicken, the proposal sauce and anything on that dessert menu. On this particular day, I had The Egg. Wow! Go!

The food is excellent! We loved every dish as well as the service. The wine was also amazing and we loved the atmosphere. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the food was timed perfectly. Lastly, the food portions were great for the price! A very excellent meal and dining experience for an excellent price! Highly recommend, we will be back soon!

Incredibly good from starters to desserts. Everything was excellent and the staff is so attentive and kind. Atmosphere is wonderful as well!

The staff! The drinks! The food! Is all top shelf! Pretty impressive cocktail menu here. More impressive was I couldnt stop after having just one. The food selection is perfect! Not an overwhelming amount of options which is a good sign they do a few things and they do them very well. We had the porterhouse steak for two. It was as delicious as it was beautiful in the presentation. Great appetizers, great wine list, great desserts, great coffee. Im happy to have found this fine dining experience in Tribeca

The new location of Marc Forgione does not disappoint.Food: Solid. We got the Laotian sushi, sourdough bread, lobster appetizer and lamb main. All very delicious. I wish the lamb was a bit warmer, came closer to room temp. The dessert cookies are insaneAtmosphere: rustic and cool american vibes

Romantic, cozy, and dimly lit Michelin starred restaurant in Tribeca that fires on all cylinders! From the ambiance to the suave service, from the starters to the dessert, everything was top notch! With a small seasonal menu, the chef doesnt fail to disappoint on any item. The ravioli were tasting many quality, savoring every bite. The duck with cherry sauce was among the best duck dishes weve had, and the chicken under a brick was 120% something to write home about. Absolutely elegant in its simplicity! I love to cook at home and it got me thinking how I could recreate something this amazing with beautiful ingredients! The egg dessert is a surprise, but its like something out of a Netflix cooking show, spectacle and flavor in every bite!! Dont hesitate to splurge on an evening here!!

Interesting flavors but lacked cohesivenessBrick chicken was nothing to noteHalibut was overcooked, however the flavors were good.Barbecued oysters were uniquePotato chip crusted quail was a good idea but didnt really deliver, coupled with an odd pickle which seemed home made.Service was lacking a bit considering we were one of few tables.Overall A for effort, but lacked a few things.Unlikely to repeat

You could tell from the street this place has it. The service was really friendly from the bartender to the waiters and staff. The atmosphere is just a perfect low light cool vibe and the food was fresh tasting and incredible! Loved the wagyu beef and the corn raviolis! Also get The Egg!

Food is very delicious. You can taste the high ingredients they use. They did a good job of getting the lamb smell out. The seasoning is on point. Customer service is probably the best in the city so far

Rustic restaurant with some delicious heavy hearty main courses. They take pride in serving diners fresh farm-to-table ingredients. Service was excellent. We were a big group and were treated like royalty. Unpretentious atmosphere for a good time!

This was our first time here and we LOVED it. The food was amazing, interesting, and unique. Huge thanks to Andres and Robert, and the rest of the team for incredible service and care. We’re definitely coming back!

Great service, location, and taste. As you’d expect, the portions aren’t amazing but the flavors are unique and very memorable. The ravioli and lobster dish were amazing. The sizes of the dishes were a guessing game for me - lobster, ravioli, mussels were all relatively small and then the brick chicken was truly a dish to share (absolutely huge). The chicken itself isn’t special but i would still recommend it.

When you enter you feel a very comforting ambiance. It is definitely a warm homie feeling. Im very pleased with their menu and what they have to offer. Yes it is pricey but it is definitely worth the flavor the you will experience. I would highly recommend this place if youre on a date it doesnt matter what age you are because this place is impressive. Im looking forward to my next visit once the weather gets a little better.

There were some very good elements and some not so good elements. They start by bringing you two beautiful looking rolls. As soon as I picked it up it felt cold, broke it open and ice cold inside. They apologized and got two more but it was rather disappointing that they don’t even make sure they reheat the rolls properly. Shishito peppers were cooked perfectly but could have used a little salt. The wings were an elevated version and very good. The halibut was the best bite. Cooked perfectly. The steak was surprisingly bland. Overall atmosphere was very nice, rustic and cozy but food was not consistent.

Great spot. Had the Laotian Sushi and Notkitori skewers to start. Both were fantastic but the Laotian Sushi was the most remarkable. Crunchy, toasty rice cubes with fresh fish and spicy sauce. So great!! The Salmon Croquettes were spot on as well. The only misfire was the Pork Chop. The chop was chewy and the sweet apple and spice reduction served over the pork simply overwhelmed the meat. The combination worked better on paper than in reality. Will go again just for the Laotian Sushi!

Hopping vibe here at Forgione.Aged Tuna Crudo starter special very good.Halibut on cauliflower purée absolutely excellent.Lamb Roundhouse with lamb neck croquettes soooo unique.Highly recommend.

One of the most disappointing meals I have had this year. Service was abysmal.We let them know my wife had a dairy allergy. 15 minutes after ordering they informed us none of the 8 different dishes we attempted to order could be made without dairy including any pastas. When we asked what they could make without dairy they gave us a blank stare and said they needed another 15 minutes and ultimately only came up with the tartare.The chicken skewers weren’t just burnt, they were cremated. The tartare was sickeningly sweet. The tomato salad sounded promising but was super underwhelming - needed acidity and salt.The decor screamed medieval AirBnb. There was a massive sign that read “Believe” and separately a large infinity symbol for decor.The whole chicken was solid. Would eat here if this was the only option in an airport.

Wonderful food, good service. The place had a good vibe despite a few loud banking bros. The starters were phenomenal. Must try the Hiramasa.

RUN to Forgione, you will not be disappointed! Menu highlights include hiramasa, chicken under a brick, chili lobster, corn ravioli, rigatoni nero, oysters. Drinks were also top notch. I loved the white negroni! Can’t wait to return for another amazing meal.

If you are looking for a great place to enjoy amazing cocktails and brilliant food in New York City, look no further than Marc Forgione.The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with dim lighting, rustic decor and friendly staff.The cocktails are creative and delicious, and the food is simply outstanding.We tried the chili lobster, the chicken under a brick, the halibut and the chocolate cake, and everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor.The whole experience was incredible, and we left feeling satisfied and happy. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a treat.

One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If your on a date and want a dinner for two, HIGHLY recommend the chicken under a brick, with out a doubt the best chicken dish I’ve had in my life.

I would like to share my revelation: there is a reason why Marc Forgione is an Iron Chef. My advice is to go to his restaurant with an open mind, let go of any preconceived ideas, open up ur wallet/purse, and let Marc Forgione guide you through the ride that is his culinary mind. Tasting Menu! Do it! Who knows, you may discover something new about yourself.. I mean, I didnt know I liked oysters, but apparently I do! Have I enticed you yet? Good. Youre welcome.

I can honestly say that the degustation menu is the best culinary experience I ever had in NYC. The service was impeccable, friendly and funny. The food (special mention to the bbq oysters) was incredible. Admittedly I went there for a business dinner (which allows one to order the best on the menu) but I vividly recommend this restaurant.

We have celebrated our anniversary almost every year at Marc Forgione’s. We have never been disappointed. We were once again at Forgione’s for our 42nd anniversary. The food was amazing. But the service was even better. The Chef even stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special nice evening out.

Happy anniversary to me... I mean us!! This place was amazing! I can tell you the story from start to end but it really is just easier to say Go , go now asap lol My boyfriend for our 1 year told then it was our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it so special definitely a night to remember!!

Probably one of the best restaurants Ive been to in a while and will most certainly be back in the near future. Food was incredible and innovative. Excited to return

Over the top experience. The new space has the same comforting feeling as the original. The food was phenomenal. The kitchen is turning out great dishes . Everything was delicious from start to finish. The pastas were outstanding. The lobster was great . The sauce was over the top. Save room for dessert because it was extra delicious.Everything was excellent for our table this evening.Wishing Chef Marc and his team years of continued success.Thank you .......

Just finished up my 5th meal here and it was as good as ever. This place never disappoints. The Lobster Chili is a must. But if you have time (and open to weird/unique deliciousness) go for the tasting menu...you won’t be disappointed.

Exceptional place to eat, truly! The chicken dish and turkey fried steak were some of the best protein dishes I’ve had in a while. Service was also best in class. Felt very welcome, generally homey environment.

Best meal of our NYC visit. Delicious food, great service and fun space

First time at new location - everything I said before is still true. Assertive and complex flavors. Every dish delicious. Marc circles the room periodically greeting and making sure everyone is happy. New spot is a bit more casual and noise level a bit higher but seems appropriate for the times. Love it and will put this in heavy rotation.been here 5 or 6 times in past year. Each time, every plate on the table tastes fabulous. Complex flavors, meat and fish cooked perfectly, plated beautifully. What more can you ask for? Oh, and the service is excellent - friendly, intimate, professional and helpful. And the atmosphere is warm, comfortable and cozy, and not noisy. GO.

Visited this hidden gem in Tribeca for dinner during the week. Excellent food and service. All the dishes were great. I would come back again to try their pastas.

One of the best meals we’ve had in NYC. Went family style with friends and was able to try many items. Definitely get the ravioli! Great wine menu as well.

Just popped in for a drink at the bar. This place is beautiful and high end while still feeling like a local spot. The staff is super knowledgeable, and my cocktail was made damn well.

Marc Forgione always delivers a memorable experience. We’ve been coming here for 8+ years and have never had a bad experience.Getting a res can be challenging, but it’s usually pretty easy to get seats at the bar and sometimes this ends up being even more fun!Menu items not to be missed are the Hiramasa (you’ll dream about this dish), Chili Lobster (ask for extra toast to scoop up all of the broth), and Chicken under a brick.This time around for mains, we opted to try something outside of the Chicken and went for the Duck and Oxtail pasta, both were delicious!We always enjoy our time at Forgione and look forward to the next one!**Final note: the bartender was truly fantastic and was killing it the whole night while making cocktails for the entire restaurant and servicing guests at the bar, truly impressive. Wish we got her name!!

I’ve dined across NYC for over a decade, particularly in Tribeca, but never have I encountered such a disappointing experience as at Marc Forgione. Our evening was a series of letdowns:1. A ridiculous 45-minute wait between appetizers, with no updates or service in between. (note, the app we were waiting for was tuna tartare)2. Attempted multiple times to address the delays with various staff, only to receive a comped round of drinks as a weak apology.3. The meal dragged on for 3 hours due to these long kitchen delays.This wasn’t just a bad night; it was the worst dining experience Ive had in my 11 years in NYC. For a Tribeca restaurant, this level of service is not only surprising but inexcusable. My advice: Avoid Marc Forgione. There are plenty of other places in Tribeca that respect your time and business.

Came here for dinner. I like the decorations and lighting. I ordered the Hiramasa tartare, and the famous chicken under a brick (in half size, for myself). I like the flavor for both dishes and my taste bud was activated joyfully. Will come back for more dishes.

This place was my favorite restaurant Ive been too in quite a long time. Food was great, service was great , and the place itself was awesome. Went for my birthday, each dish was good, and they had a really good drinks menu as well. Very very good bourbon options

Came with a group of 10-12. Had a set menu.Appetizers were really tasty and interesting. The type of dishes where you get one or two bites to just try the taste and texture.There was an oyster dish that was amazing.But after two of those the rest of the food took a pretty long time to come out and suddenly we got 4-5 dishes of very heart heavy food, including steak, chicken, a lobster dish. Everyone struggled to eat and enjoy it because the pacing was off.Also the wine service was poor. We waited way too long for bottles to open and our glasses were empty for an annoyingly long time. We deliberately ordered two bottles at a time to avoid it but still kept happening.I do think its worth trying out this place as they had some good dishes, but I wouldnt go back again personally

I love it here so much! Lovely spot, the loveliest staff! So cute! So nice! Delicious everything🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 💯

The place oozes style and sophistication... its warm, dimly-lit lots of candles and perfect cool tunes. I sat on the bar side and had great service. The amuse-bouche that the chef sent was an everything bagel bite that could be the best thing Ive eaten in months. Lets not forget that this is a Iron Chefs restaurant and the quality, style and presentation... along with the delicious combination of flavors I had makes this restaurant easily one of the best in a city full of great ones.

An amazing food and beautiful atmosphere! Ordered Pasta - it was great. The sushi they have as an appetizer were amazing,but spicy, be aware.The stuff was super friendly and accommodating. Will be back because of a great food!

This place can be good IF you know a little before you go.So, the place loses points for the hostess who made it seem like our table was almost ready, and we waited for about 45+ minutes, even with a reservation, and even with a bunch of empty tables.We were a party of 6, so if you are hungry when you arrive, best bet is to be a table of 2.So onto the food. I ordered a chicken liver ravioli for an appetizer, and black bass for entree.The ravioli was very tasty, but super small portion though. The black bass was mediocre, and really dont recommend getting this.What was really good however, was the chicken under a brick. If you go, really, you should just get that. It tastes the best of what I tried, and is generous with the portion.I was told the dry aged rib-eye was also really good by my friend.So the flavor of the food overall was pretty good, but for the prices and whole Iron Chef element, I was expecting far better.So maybe if the place can be more honest about when you get seated, and take off the lower-grade menu choices, then I would reconsider the grade and give 4-5 stars.

Had a great experience here. The chicken under a brick was phenomenal. Definitely a sharing plate between 2-3 people, perhaps even 4 if youre light eaters. We started with the bread and butter. It was great. Loved the onion butter. The chicken under a brick was exceptionally excellent. Highly recommend. And we finished it off with the cookie and melted ice cream desert. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. Also best if shared between 2-4 people.

The food here is good -- maybe very good. But for the price and the hype, I think we deserve to expect more. The oysters were truly exceptional, but most of the other food was just good. The lobster bake left something to be desired. The flavor of my wifes pasta dish was a little more satisfying. The dessert special was good.Service was good, but again not exceptional. My espresso came out after we were finished the dessert and our server was nowhere to be found in the meantime.The biggest disappointment was in ambiance, though. This place is LOUD -- like, sports bar loud. Decor is very rustic and dark. It was hard to relax when squinting at the menu and straining to listen across the table.Its a pretty good restaurant. If this is a regular meal out for you give it a try. But if this is a special splurge meal, you can do better.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars... easily the best meal Ive ever had, hands down. Every single bite was impeccable. We had a larger group and had to do the prefix menu but I dont think it inhibited our experience in the least bit. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed, and although a bit on the pricier side, the mixed drinks were absolutely delicious.

Absolutely decadent experience from the moment I walked in the door. The ambiance is beautiful. The service was 2nd to none. Sushi was 11/10. The bartender Christina was completely helpful with the dishes as well as cocktail choices. Jason the front of house manager made my experience top notch. Chef Doug came out table side to assure all dishes were as expected. Will be back and will be referring all friends and family visiting NYC.

Loved this place. The chef clearly thought out every meal and it was an experience. I live in Tribeca and think it’s one of the best meals I’ve had since I lived in NYC for 2 years?

Really delicious food, the chicken for two is amazing. I like that the atmosphere is casual You could go in slacks or jeans, no one would care. The drink are good, a bit pricey but good. Everything on the menu looks so delicious, i will have to make multiple visits.

This is my favorite restaurant I have ever been to in the world. Whenever I go to New York I absolutely have to go here. Ambience and atmosphere is awesome, is cozy and intimate, yet down home. Food is always fresh with great flavors and presentation. Service is attentive, informed and friendly but not the hovering type. And great cocktails and wine selection. The food is pleasing to both foodies and others who want good food and options.

From the time we walked in, we were greeted and treated with kindness.The food is always great in flavor and quality. The only thing was the olive torte was way too sweet. Try everything!

The food is all very delicious and the atmosphere is great. In particular, you have to try the Hiramasa Tartare. That dish is an experience and tasted multiple levels beyond anything else that night. It might as well come from a different restaurant - that’s how much better it was.Beyond that, most everything was good but not repeat visit good. The steak was better than the pasta but not anything special. The bread - also really good. Drinks we also good but not standout.

A great spot- good food and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Some of the portions were a bit small. I had the lamb chops and were amazing. My friend had the scallops, which were a bit meager for a dinner portion. Aside from that, a great place to dine. The atmosphere really made it for me.

We had the best gastronomical experience last night! Each dish was bursting with flavor! The garlic bread! The Heirloom Tomatoes! The Aegean Ravioli! The Day Boat Swordfish! My favorite would have to be the Snowdance Farms Chicken Under A Brick!And the restaurant decor blew us away! The staff was amazing! All worth the trip from CT!

Weve been coming here for years and it never lets us down. But last night was particularly special. Cara & Keita (sp??) made our night especially delightful. The new(ish) restaurant space is lovely. And the food is always consistently delicious. The halibut dish is top 3 favorite dishes of all time for me. We come to New York and center our trip around at least one meal at Forge. Love it. Thanks for being awesome guys!

One of the best meals I’ve had ever. We came for a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We had the chili lobster, nokitori, halibut, chicken, and s’mores. Highly recommend!

The portions are small, but the cheff & team focus on the taste buds excitation, rather than filling up stomachs. They do succeed. I enjoyed pretty much every dish we ordered and the waves of flavours that came and went with every one of them

Awesome vibe, excellent food all around and great service. Might be somewhat pricier than other similar places but totally worth it.Tip: everything was delicious but the chicken wings were amazing.

Another wonderful experience at Marc Forgione! Ive been here a few times and always really enjoyed the entire experience. From the moment you walk in all the little details are thought of, the waitress even commented on our booking information which made it feel personal. Food was delicious! We had the rolls, lobster croquettes, roast potato ravioli, halibut, monkfish curry and 10 minute cookies. Also the margaritas were perfect. Thank you for everything, we look forward to returning.

The meal was whimsical, inventive, light, and delicious. We really enjoyed the combination of different flavors, temperatures and textures.The atmosphere was inviting, rustic with a nice mix of industrial touches.The attentiveness of the entire staff was appreciated and noted.We are looking forward to returning.

From the moment we walked in, Marc Forgione’s was going to be a delightful experience! We didn’t have reservations and it was Saturday night. Yet, we were greeted with enthusiasm! Stephen Tsui, General Manager, was very personable and shared insights into the restaurant scene. Robert Was our server and we were treated to a fantastic evening. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable! The stories from Both Mr Tsui and Robert were enlightening and entertaining! Highly recommend this wonderful culinary experience!

This is my favorite restaurant in nyc , the quality of ingredients they use are so obvious , place second to none , a tribeca legend and it is consistently absolutely delicious everytime , my favorite spot

Although Im not on a first name basis yet with the bartenders like some of my friends, I definitely frequent this place quite often. The drinks are good and whether you want a quick delicious app or a mouth watering innovative meal, MF never disappoints.The bone marrow is my favorite item ever so far, but Ive been trying someone different each time I go.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. Head chef Marc Forgione does not mess around. The dishes are all prepared with such care and the presentation is simply beautiful. The restaurant gives you some complimentary tasters of little creations they have for the night. It is nearly impossible to get in, so call ahead early and make a reservation. On OpenTable, you can usually get a table for two after 9:30pm. All of the food is amazing, and I really like the little ice cream cones for dessert! There is also communal seating and a nice big bar, so it is a great place to come for a lively atmosphere with lots of background chatter. The service is top notch.

Excellent atmosphere, well designed cocktail menu, but I recommend in particular the tiki drink. Only had appetizers and can recommend the chicken skewers, peppers, and sushi. Small portions, not cheap, very tasty.

Very impressed by the quality of the food, the setting and the professional service. My favorite dish were the BBQ oysters, just delicious. Also, save some room for your dessert as the freshly baked cookies were incredible. Two points of feedback: 1. the pacing could be improved, we started with very tiny dishes and finished with a huge main. 2. There should be more washrooms in a restaurant like this.

Incredible as always. Chicken under a brick is phenomenal. The steak tartare and smokin’ hot oysters were great too. The seasonal cocktails were solid, especially the Japanese whiskey.

We have celebrated our anniversary at Marc Forgiones every year for the past 4 years! The food is excellent and service outstanding! We have never been disappointed and will continue to go back. A special thanks to the couple next to us last night that bought us our anniversary dessert and slipped away before we could thank you, we will pay it forward Vince and Liz!

We finally got a reservation last week because it was very difficult to get a dinner reservation here. We didnt have a good start as we arrived 20 minutes late at the restaurant and waited for another 30 minutes to be seated (our fault for being late). We ordered the daily specials, the appetizer being a baked potato ravioli which as our server described to be a baked potato with all sorts of goodness on top of it and some ravioli at the sides, but imagine our surprise when after 30 mints of waiting we received a bowl with three tiny pieces of potato and three raviolis and a sauce!!! I did not like the taste at all. We further ordered the creekstone aged steak to be shared, it was ok- the meat was nicely cooked but the crispy chips on the side were SUPER salty and the carrot glazed with was just ugh. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with this expensive place where the food was just mediocre. WILL NOT return. Also, our waiter was charming and making jokes and every single dish in the restaurant was his favorite and I think he sort of mislead us by describing the food to be more delicious than it actually was.

First time here and was impresses with menu selections I was more than happy with the recommendation from Teddys guide!! We didnt get the tasting menu the table next to us did and it looked great! We enjoyed the cotes de beef, it was fantastic. Service was top notch and consistant.Wine menu is large but we had good direction for our selection.

Unfortunately, we lost our appetite... We traveled all the way from across the country to have an amazing dinner and experience after watching the chefs videos on YouTube with steaks and brick chicken, making reservations 3 weeks in advance, only to be greeted by a rude hostess, who told us we had to wait 45 minutes to an hour... Place was pretty full, but there was a few available tables that we could see... We waited around for 20-25 minutes around the bar area, but decided to go elsewhere, so we could finally eat after traveling for over 8 hours.I could see all the delicious plates being delivered to all the different tables and Im more than confident the food is amazing, judging by the aromas from the kitchen, but for us customer service plays a really great part in making the whole experience worthwhile... Would definitely give it another shot next time we come to NYC. Until next time, we wish you the best.

Top notch service and food. One has to be very picky to have issues with their dishes. Great flavors without being totally overpowering like some nicer restaurants try to do. Very unique offerings of american fare.

Love this place. Just a consistently good farm to table restaurant with creative preparation and a great atmosphere. Their signature chicken under a brick is a must have. Quick tip - on the menu it is listed as for two but you can order it for just one.

Everything you want in a restaurant. The menu is straightforward and the food is sensational. We really loved the feel of the place... And the best damned chocolate chip cookies Ive ever had made a stuffed girl into a glutton, a happy one

Food was all right, but not lived up to the expectations. Dessert was more a of show than a treat.

Must try!! Great for all occasion. Each dish was extraordinary. Servers were friendly and outgoing. Cant wait to try more food from here.

Horrible. I would’ve salvaged and gave at least two stars for service, but I found the comments to be so offensive.To the bartender who kept calling me ma’am. I think you need to be about a decade younger to be able to call some of my age maam. You did it to be rude. As confirmation the comment proceeding confirmed this. I shouldn’t have tipped because the joke that you made after was offensive & You didn’t say it to be polite.Given that I write about places in a longer form, I’m gonna pass on this location because I just don’t think it’s worth it.I don’t think it embodies what the current state of New York cuisines are nor do I think the services is elevated to a point worth giving any credit.The bartender was snarky and a bit offensive. The hostess is the only thing that was positive. Given the inconsistency at the bar, she almost filled out of place with her positivity, conversed with the sidebar attitude of the bartender.The one from Houston. She was making slight eye remarks behind my back and didn’t think I could see it and then I looked up and noticed her and someone else almost mocking me.Heads up, you don’t get credit for treating people like human beings at your bar. That is the basic standard. You never once asked if I enjoyed my meal you just collected the bill and went on. This restaurant is on my list now.Will include a link if I write about this a longer form but again I just don’t think it’s worth it

Busy place on a WednesdayYoungGood vibesPleasant hostessHad dinner at the Bar … 👍🥇☺️

Great atmosphere. Very cozy and romantic. Food was incredible flavorful and pleasing to the palate. The fois gras starter with ox tail was superb. The ribeye and venison left us wanting more. Simply delicious! On our way out we were surprised with a couple warm chocolate chips cookies from heaven with milk of course. Next time I am come thru NYC we will be stopping by!

It was honestly a pretty underwhelming experience, and it started with the waiter. After ordering wine, we asked to start with the chicken wings. He gave us some incomprehenisble nonsense about only be able to start us with bread as Chef likes the order to go in all at once... Pretty standard in restaurant industry. If this is the case, simply explain that in a rational way. His tone was so patronizing and condescending, and I think he realized it after he made the statement because I wasnt charged for the 2nd glass of wine. The menu also shouldnt list the appetizers as To Start... just annoying. After that was all sorted out, the chicken wings arrived and were delicious. Ordered the tomahawk, and it was fantastic. The steak did take 50 minutes to get to the table, so maybe it tasted better being hungry due to the wait. Or to be fair, maybe I was still annoyed with the waiters tone from earlier. The manager came and grabbed our check, asking how dinner was, and I had to be honest and explain the above. She was gracious in apologizing and a lovely person. So, there were some 5 star moments but a lot of 1 star moments. For a place with this reputation, it should be 5 star all around. Sadly, it was only 3 stars for me, but my review wont make or break this place.

This place gets 3 stars because the quality of food, presentation and taste were all great. That said, a dining experience is not complete without proper service and that they failed badly. Pushy waitstaff with attitude trying to upsell and/or manipulate you into ordering more (e.g. only beverage menu is placed on table as you sit down in an attempt to trick you into ordering drinks; we were given a lot of attitude after asking for menus and explaining I needed to see the food menu in order to order the wine.) Also, decided to order a 2010 vintage bottle and as tasted it realized it was completely corked (i.e. rotten fruit smell) only to be told by sommelier (or whoever he was) that thats the characteristic aroma of that regions grape. He could have been nice about it but chose to be belittling and rude not to mention completely incompetent as even my 90 year old grandma could have told you the wine was spoiled. Enfin, good food, obnoxious staff and service. Def not coming back.

The food and the service was top notch. We had the Smokin Peters Point to start, followed by Chili Lobster with Texas toast, Snowdance Farms Chicken Under-a-Brick (for two); and finished with the smores. Throughout the meal our waiter made wine recommendations which paired perfectly with our meal. I have been here several times with my wife and each time has been a unique dining experience.

Great restaurant, would definitely reccommend! We had the tasting menu which was excellent value at $99 per person. Even if a table cant be booked, the bar food is off the same menu and the cocktails are beautiful. I honestly couldnt find a fault with the place.

Wanted to like it but it food was inconsistent and expensive. $100 per person for appetizers, an entree and a drink. Most entrees are $40-45 and while nicely presented and solid, it’s not worth the price tag. Nice atmosphere. Better place to get a drink/appetizers

Amazing dinner! The hiramasa is their signature dish and its like nothing Ive ever had before. Gotta try it! Also got the amatriciana, and also a super delicious, unique version. Yum yum yum

NOT TODDLER FRIENDLY. They would only seat the 3 of us at a table for 2 right next the door and the place was empty. We went early. My toddler always orders his own entree. Would they seat 3 adults ordering entrees at a table for 2? Ridiculous. Least helpful hostess ever. Very unprofessional.

One of NYC’s most special dining experiences. Had my friends 30th bday here and they went so far above and beyond to make it special I couldn’t believe it. From a handwritten card to champagne for me and a mocktail for him (sober), to unreal food (get the Texas toast lobster) this place is such a special gem. I always look forward to coming here!!!

This restaurant is the quintessential Tribeca, new-American bistro. Its warm and inviting, but also hip and bustling. First of all, the menu is pretty edited, and making a decision wont be too difficult. The chili lobster and chicken for two were standouts. Be forewarned, the prices are high, and the waiters push the upsells pretty hard. Reservations are not terribly difficult to get on OpenTable, but that doesnt mean theyre busy; on my last visit, I was asked to vacate the table after a 2.5 hour dinner. I dont blame them, but after spending this kind of money, it leaves a poor final impression.

Very good food. Small outdoor space, really great un summer especially since the street is very quiet. Selection of wine is nice and service is irreproachable. We had a good time and would definitively recommend this place.

Love the new space. Food is delicious as usual.

Far and away the best real restaurant in NYC. Not pretentious, not froofy and filled with fakeness. Marc is the real deal. Hes a chef that understands what is and what food could be. He has a fantastic pallet and his team works hard to deliver a memorable experience for every guest every time. His chicken under a brick is the simplest dish on the menu but is the most memorable.

Incredible food, cozy atmosphere and staff went above and beyond to ensure an amazing birthday celebration! Thank you

Can I give it 6 stars? So amazing, the menu changes frequently but they keep the staples that is awesome. There is such a human touch here that the service alone can warrant an excellent rating but the food speaks so well for itself that I believe this my first five star rating. IT IS THAT GOOD... STOP!

Maybe it was because I had high expectations but this place was underwhelming. The wagyu lardo pasta was too al dente. The halibut sauce was way too salty. The chili lobster was undercooked, which mightve been intentional but it was off-putting nonetheless. The pumpkin pie dessert was interesting and the scallops were good but overall, the meal had too many errors. I did like the ambiance. It has a rustic, casual vibe thats comforting. The servers are very friendly and professional. Its a shame that the meal was so disappointing.

You cant go wrong with their famous brick chicken but to truly appreciate what this kitchen is capable of doing you should opt for the tasting menu. The service is always great and the atmosphere is perfect - you get great food without the pretentiousness you get at other restaurants that serve the same quality of food. Go and eat here.

Amazing American restaurant in Tribeca! They had a little bit of everything. Truffles were on the scene the night we went so we had a lobster cavatelli with truffles that was a game changer! Its not on the regular menu but expect specials like this regularly.We also had the lobster app with Texas toast. The toast in the not-to-spicy au jus was insane! Too much lobster? How dare you :)We also had the halibut which blew our minds! Just get it and thank us later. Lastly, we had a half portion of the chicken. I would recommend skipping the chicken because it is cooked in fat and way too many calories than it needs to be.

My favorite restaurant in NYC bar none. Food, service, ambience - all perfect. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

While we enjoyed the food, the payment machine was not working so we had to go to the teller next door which charged us an extra $15 to get cash out. Really disappointing and we were made to feel like it was our fault when it was entirely theirs. No consideration.

Marc Forgione is from a different planet. His every dish is a perfect bite and explosion of flavors that will blow your mind. Food is otherworldly! Great ambiance, exposed brick walls , wooden shelves and candle light.#LOVE

One of my favorite restaurant in New York, the presentation of dishes were great. Ive been there twice already and Im sure I will be coming back next time. Love this place!

Enjoyed a variety of great food with friendly, professional service. Chef was checking on everyone, a nice touch. Probably easy to grab a seat at the larger communal table in the bar area if you want to check it out.

Dining here was definitely the highlight of our weekend. Creative dishes with superb presentation, from decorative flourishes to distinctive plates, no aspect was neglected. The wines were excellent.

This eponymous restaurant is dark, sexy and attracts an endless stream of downtown denizens. Abundant candles produce more atmosphere than light for the room clad in exposed brick and salvaged wood. Aloof servers dressed in black seem to disappear into the background. The innovative American food excites with bold flavors, as in barbecued oysters sprinkled with pancetta powder. Montauk fluke en croute, set over roasted cauliflower, hazelnuts and capers topped with a buttery panel of toast, is dressed with sauce proposal-so named because the rich brown butter and golden raisin emulsion is said to have earned the chef a few romantic offers. It is delicious, but Chef Marc Forgione deserves equal affection for those amazing butter-glazed potato rolls.

Outstanding food, service and ambience. The tasting menu was amazing. The food and service quality reminded us of Daniel, though much less expensive and more casual.

JUST GO AND HAVE AMAZING FOOD. You will not regret it.

Iron Chef Marc Forgiones namesake restaurant has been serving delectable dishes in TriBeCa for many years. Although they no longer have a Michelin star (from 2010-2011), the quality of food is still worth making a trek for. A dim, bustling ambiance at night makes for an non-intrusive dining environment, worthy of dates or even business dinners. To begin the meal - any of their hearty pastas are perfect on a winter evening, but their raw preparations of fish are also commendable. The star of the menu is the Bell & Evan Roast Chicken for Two, however; its served in a cast-iron skillet and comes with potatoes, broccoli rabe, and plenty of pan drippings. Its well-seasoned and well-portioned, and sure to satisfy any appetite. Make a reservation in advance as tables at this restaurant can fill up quickly.

Got to call it like I see it. Wow what a disappointment. Had some solid meals back in the old space. This space is really nice, and Darian the bartender was absolutely lovely and professional. But the food…an edible but plain and underwhelming duck liver mouse with muted pickled veg garnish, with burnt to black toast that I was shocked they even sent out. Then the rigatoni Nero with baby octopus. Perhaps the worst pasta dish I’ve had out in 2024. The pasta was undercooked and I like al dente, but this was hard. The octopus was chewy and not tenderized in the least, and the whole dish was over salted to nauseam. I respectfully had to send it back. My stomach was turning, so I wrapped up a bit early and left. Hoping they just had a bad night. But yet another example of why although I like trying different places, I always gravitate back to my 5 or 6 “sure bet” spots.

Incredible and special dining experience. Food was some of the best weve had. Amazing atmosphere.

Loved the new space. Service was above and beyond. We came in late after work and we were not rushed. The food was just as incredible as we remembered. Cant wait to come back again

Hidden little gem of a spot. Great cocktails, food and ambiance. The hiramasa, brick chicken and chocolate chip cookie are some of my favorites

$39.95 + tax and tips for 2 poached eggs and asparagus is somewhat detached from the rustic setting. It would make better sense if the food was of creative cooking techniques instead of comfort food in a cozy vibe.

Fantastic food, great service. Had the duck fritters, tomato salad and beef tenderloin. All of which was perfectly presented, and cooked to perfection. I could really tell how carefully the chef took care to separate but compliment each of the flavors in each dish. Certainly on my favorites list.

Food took foreverChicken way overcookedTruffles were meh

Iron Chef Marc Forgione restaurant continues the tradition of serving excellent food from the Forgione family. Highlights include the Chicken Under a Brick, hands down the best chicken I have ever had. Add the supplemental Truffles ($25-$60, depending on season) & savor a dish that will be engrained in your pallet for a very long time. Tip, sit at communal table even when no reservations available

Terrific food, wonderful exploration of flavors with a great selection of cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks. Make sure to get a reservation!

This place is great! Food is amazing and service beyond expectations; we ate at the bar and Molly took care of everything 😎

Great food and kind staff!

Despite not having covid, the food tasted like the corona virus....no flavor #terrible

Very hearty, yet inventive cuisine that hits the spot in the depths of winter. warm, gracious, unpretentious service. expensive, but worth it. the last couple of restaurants here havent succeeded which had led me to believe this space was cursed, but finally a winner.

Kind of amazing this place has been so good for so long. Went on a dinner date and the food was stellar. I think I had a hamachi starter and a halibut main. Sooooo good. Just try it. You will understand.

5 Stars! Yes, the food is incredible (chicken is our fave and the cookies - amazing!), but for us its the warm service that keeps us coming back (10 years and going strong). Maxamina, Summer, and the entire staff make us feel like were coming over to friends home for a beautiful meal. True neighborhood gem!

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here on a Friday night in the new location. The atmosphere was buzzing, the team/staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend letting the server guide you through the menu and ask for the somm to recommend a wine pairing! Each dish was unique and intentional, and even fun (Hirimasa app and the egg dessert)! We’re Chef Marc fans, and the luck that he was in the restaurant and was friendly was just the icing on the cake for my birthday dinner! We’ll be back next time we visit the city.

My favorite neighborhood restaurantm

New location does not disappoint. We are big fans of all the Forgione affiliated spots, and this is still first among equally impressive dining experiences. Left feeling like I would have paid twice as much and still been looking forward to our next reservation.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Highly recommended the sushi 🍣 and halibut.

Six stars. Guaranteed memorable evening.

Excellent new location; same delicious food! The staff is phenomenal - everyone treated us so well and went above and beyond for our anniversary — plus super cool to see Marc himself at the bar! One of our favorite neighborhood spots and we can’t wait to go back again soon!

Ive been four times now, and it is always amazing. The cocktails are incredible, the service is impeccable, and the food is delicious.

Absolutely great. Food was exquisite and the service was awesome

Truly some of the best food we have ever had. The halibut is exceptional

Tapas and bar food is very good. Baked Chocolate cookies are simply yum!

Good food and atmosphere. Staff was very friendly

Interesting delicious food and nice warm ambiance. It is a little too noisy to have an intimate conversation, other than that you will have a fantastic time.

Great fun decor, with a feel of good space. Forgiones food reputation marches on. Everythng is great on the menu. A must go , as the places in this area are popping up nicely.

We had a late reservation and felt rushed by service, which was disinterested at best, the entire evening (they were not busy at the time). The food was fine, not exceptional.

Brick chicken and a great cocktails here is the best.

Service was phenomenal. Food was oily.

One of the best brunch we had in NYC.

Everything was fantastic, the service and food was top-notch and met our expectations given the reputation. We enjoyed watching Marc win Iron Chef years ago and inspired us to choose this restaurant, although we were in for only 2 days. The flavors in each dish were well blended and paired nicely together. The lobster was cooked absolutely perfect. Very nice experience all around.

Consistent changing menu with the season. Delicious food and an amazing staff. Sexy atmosphere for a romantic evening.

Great food, service and ambience. Seafood perfectly cooked. This is a great choice...not cheap, but quality aint cheap!

Sensational.Amazing food quality, a flurry of insane flavors, delightful wine selection and, to top it off, impeccable service.An instant classic.

Amazing meal! The brick chicken was so good!

Great spot for lunch if youre staying local in TriBeCa. Burger was amazing, and the bottomless Quince Mimosas were top notch.

The bread here is to die for!! All together the food is amazing. But the bread is a must.

Food was amazing and service was great. Pretty pricey but I enjoyed it.

Everything start to finish was exceptional. Service was fantastic, as was every single thing we ate.

Beyond. If you’re never eaten here, you’re not fully living. Worth every penny. Phenomenal service, to boot.

Marc never disappoints!

Second time here, always excellent. This time brought my aunt who was visiting from Puerto Rico and she also loved everything.

Entire service was excellent - recommend the chili lobster and the chicken main. Lively spot in a good location. Would recommend.

Interesting take on the dirty martini. The off menu burger was good.

One of my favorite spots in NYC. Everything I’ve tried is delicious.

Great restaurant! Excellent food that isnt overpriced. Would definitely come back again.

Great service and we enjoyed the food.

Absolutely amazing in every way!!!

This place makes special occasions so special. Starting with a note from the house wishing me a happy birthday to the script and candle with dessert, the entire event was a celebration of good food and good living. The staff are consummate professionals, the food incredible, and the ambiance intimate without being stuffy.

Great food and ambiance! I love the lobster chili and the amuse bouche.

Good food and good drinks. The chicken in the brick oven and the sea bass were very good .

Super

One of the best meals Ive ever had in my life, absolutely incredible staff. The GM Andrea was an absolute delight and a pleasure to visit with. Our server Robert was incredibly outgoing, knowledgeable helpful, and hilarious. The chef, Connor and his sous chef Xavier gave me one of the best culinary experiences of my life and were a pleasure to chat with as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone in my life and will definitely be back.

It hurts.... Very hot: the bill. If you cannot afford less than it. Il proprietario si chiama Forgione, like Padre Pio, but he is not. Beatiful people

Excellent meal. We loved our waitress. Food was creative and yummy.

One of the best American restaurants in NYC. Impeccable service, great food. Not crazy priced.

Atmosphere. Service. Drinks. FOOOOOD. My new happy place. Not eating anywhere else.

The food was great especially the strawberry desert with basil whipped cream. Would recommend.

Love the new location food was delicious

This restaurant prepares meals like its your last. When you come here and sit down and look at your menu, its simple but bold and yet your eyes cant comprehend what you are looking at when it comes to the table or your taste buds cant process what is going on as you take bite after bite.

For asians. Not common tastes, if you have a american style steak, I can definitely recommend.

Amazing food, really impressed by the Nero pasta (and, as in Italian, I am picky on my pasta!). Service was very attentive and great vibe too.

Coming back after more than 5 years, Marc Forgione is still doing well

Excellent place, brother in law took me there because he was talking up the chicken, and it did live up to the hype !!! Very very good and attentive Staff

There breads & the lobster dish are to die for.

Very romantic...wonderful bites that are very provacative.

Wow! Incredible drinks and meal was to die for! Do yourself a favor make a reservation and go there! Everything is awesome but the chicken cooked under the brick was incredible!

Finest dining experiences. Never thought i would get such a fantastic vegetarian delight

Fantastic food and excellent service, Has recommended place to all my international friends,

If you arent allergic to shellfish, try the chili lobster. If you are, bring an epipen and try the chili lobster.

Pot au Veau - very disappointing dish, this specific cut was mostly fat, gummy and not tasty at all. The waiter tried to convince us that veal cheeks are fatty as if this was our very first time ever trying veal cheeks. We have tried veal cheeks in the past in different restaurants and there was delicious meat in it not just fat in a soup.

I love it

Popped in for a bite to eat. Loved it 😊. We only popped in by chance. I tell you what I wish I knew about it I hope we get back next time. When I am back for the mouhumes journey. Book.

Great place, nice ambience. Prices are on the higher side. Wine selection could be better.

Incredible food, service and drinks! Definitely a top restaurant in our neighborhood.

Great food. The sommelier was very helpful. Would strongly recommend a visit.

Very cool vendor event here- Im sure the regular nights are just as spectacular.

Atmosphere is good. The food is a little bit salty.

Amazing food great service wonderful atmosphere The lobster soup and lobster raviolis amazing.

Expensive but often worth it. Great service. Glad to see they are back and thriving

NIce atmosphere, relaxed service. Excellent food at good prices.

Simply put, the best food Ive ever had.

Amazing food, great atmosphere & staff, one of my favourite places in the city. Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t $350 for two ppl w only a few cocktails 🥴
