Service

It had been a while since I treated myself to a fine dining experience, so I came into this meal with high expectations&mdash;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&mdash;the acidity of the white kimchi lifted the fish and gave it such a refined balance.

We shared one steak and also got their sundae which was huge! We got our steak medium and it was pretty good. We made sure to drizzle the meat juices on the meat as well.The server served us each a slice of the steak in the beginning which I thought was pretty cool. It also explained why most of the google review photos didn&rsquo;t have a fully intact steak lol.

Everything about Gabriel Kreuther restaurant was incredible! They made our experience on a friends&#39; trip truly special. We tried the four-course menu and it was simply delicious!  You won&#39;t be disappointed. We live in Miami and will return to New York to take our husbands. I don&#39;t remember the names of the dishes, but here are some pictures. Simply phenomenal. Thank you

Amazing 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!

I was impressed by the Michelin stars awarded to Ai Fiori! The multi-course menu was meticulously crafted, showcasing seasonal flavors, and the attentive staff made my celebration truly special.

The food here hits on every course so you&rsquo;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&rsquo;re being upsold. I&rsquo;d much rather pay a known fee early and just enjoy the rest of my experience.

This place has a cool vibe and offers a wide variety of delicious oysters at varied prices. Definitely worth a visit for oyster lovers!

I can&#39;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.
