KongBarNelIt had been a while since I treated myself to a fine dining experience, so I came into this meal with high expectations—and it absolutely delivered. The banchan set the tone right away: beautifully presented, full of little tasty surprises that made me wonder what else was coming. The striped jack that followed was even better—the acidity of the white kimchi lifted the fish and gave it such a refined balance.

KongBarNelAmazing experience, but for a 2 Star Michelin, it needs some improvement! I was expecting something more intimate and the restaurant was packed. We were seated in a table with a long couch with two other families very close to us. We had the six course omnivore and two courses were disappointing: the caviar taste disappeared in the green garbanzo beans; the wagyu per se was tasteless and needs improvement! The last thing was the restroom, which was very basic and not compatible with the restaurant sophistication!

KongBarNelEverything about Gabriel Kreuther restaurant was incredible! They made our experience on a friends' trip truly special. We tried the four-course menu and it was simply delicious! You won't be disappointed. We live in Miami and will return to New York to take our husbands. I don't remember the names of the dishes, but here are some pictures. Simply phenomenal. Thank you

KongBarNelThe food here hits on every course so you’ll always be pleased. Service is on its best game and you definitely leave feeling like you were engaged with a completely premium experience. My only gripe is that they offer many supplements (that are not cheap) and they present them to you in stages so you always feel like you’re being upsold. I’d much rather pay a known fee early and just enjoy the rest of my experience.

_TI***nvI can't recommend Loi Estiatorio enough! The quality of the ingredients shines through in every dish. The octopus appetizer was a standout, and the wine selection perfectly complemented our meal.

KongBarNelThe food was extraordinary, fascinating to look at, very creative. The problem is most dishes did not taste very good. The scallop dish for example, was very bland. Also while it’s a tasting menu, some dishes like the venison were comically small. This isn’t wagu deer, sorry. Even things like the bread were not particularly good. The highlight was probably the quail dish and the one with the black caviar on top.

KongBarNelI recently dined at Saga and had a mixed experience. There’s no denying that the restaurant has incredible views, a stunning space, and a very polished service team. The setting itself is truly beautiful and theatrical.That said, the food didn’t live up to the hype or the price point for me personally. Several dishes felt more focused on presentation than actual flavor, and overall the menu lacked the depth and balance I’d expect at nearly $300 per person

KongBarNelWe hosted a work dinner in a private room at Atera and I will say it was the perfect choice! Food was amazing, wine pairing was fab, service was excellent, and the ambience was just right for hosting customers, prospects, and execs. The entrance was interesting and a bit mysterious (slightly dark and narrow halls) but as soon as you get in, you have a private room with 3 dedicated chefs waiting. Every single plate served was lovely and the ambience allowed for great conversations making the evening memorable. Would like to come back with my husband next!

KongBarNelCosme, to me, felt like a concept where the creators knew how to make one thing incredibly well, and in order to create an ecosystem, added a bunch of other things that did not live to the expectations of that main dish.The Ensalada de la Casa and the Herb Guacamole were completely forgettable. Nothing really stood out, both dishes were a bit disappointing. The corn tostadas were good, but couldn't save the dish. I would not recommend you to order any of these.
