Centurion New York

Centurion has done it again--another delightful dinner with excellent food. The menu of this visit's highlights included the truffle risotto, generously topped with freshly shaved truffles, which was a standout. The burrata paired beautifully with figs, and the prawns were perfectly seasoned. Everything met our expectations in terms of quality and flavor.The sparkling drinks and white wine, however, didn't quite live up to the standard of last season. While the waiter was highly professional and let us sample all the options, the quality and taste weren't as impressive this time, so we opted for cocktails instead.After dinner, we headed to the bar down the hall, overlooking Bryant Park's Winter Village and ice-skating rink. Enjoying the cozy atmosphere with good friends was the perfect way to spend a weekend night. Although the bar officially closed at 1 a.m., in our experience, they're happy to stay open a bit longer for guests. The bartender even created an incredible guava-based cocktail for us and sent over additional rounds on the house--it was truly amazing! We left feeling well cared for and appreciated.

Stunning views of New York and in particular the Empire State Building.New York is very big on exclusivity and Centurion New York definitely fits the bill. Walk in anytime if you have a Centurion card or try to get a competitive reservation if you have a Platinum card.Food by Daniel Bolud is ok and is typical of a well known chef that has probably spread himself to thin for quality control. This is passable upper end food but nothing to get excited about or expect a Michelin star for. Don't get me wrong, nothing is wrong with this food but its more of a baseline for acceptance in the upper tier as opposed to something out of the ordinary.That being said, the mushroom pasta was delicious and my wife love the fries that came with a burger that was also solid. We had the tuna tartare, beef tartare which were ok. Mussels were slightly underdone.Will be back to try the tasting menu in a different room. And to hang out at the bar or to impress guests. Exclusivity does have its perks.

This place is one of a kind. Located in One Vanderbilt, the entrance seems like an inconspicuous office building, but there was a nice desk with CENTURION on it. We were guided upstairs to a table with a great view of downtown Manhattan and the Empire State. The Chrysler building was to my left and the rest of Manhattan was right in front of me. The service was playful and cheery. During our meal, they made sure to coordinate the arrival of the dishes and place them on the table simultaneously two at a time. They also routinely gave us new utensils and cleared the table. Our primary server showed us around after our dinner and brought us to the wine room which had a western view of Manhattan. After being astounded by the alcohol prices, we settled on three cocktails: dark and creamy which had a strong coconut flavor and very little alcohol, orchard old fashioned which tasted like a light old fashioned with an apple aftertaste, and the 2-1-2 which tasted like sweet herbal medicine in a good way. The drinks were all pleasant, but with very little alcohol. For the tasting menu, we started with a rendition of an everything lox bagel but it was in a wonton shell. A little lox, a little cream cheese topped with everything seasoning could never go wrong so it was a good palate opener. This was followed by an aged cheddar bite which was also very savory and had an exterior like a pineapple bun. Both of these starters were heavier than I expected, but worked well because this was only a 6 course menu and every dish was small. They also gave baguettes and these small Asiago bagels throughout the meal which topped us off. The honey nut squash soup was very sweet which paired well with the cream and small pickled vegetables and I think this was my favorite dish of the night. This was followed by a warm hamachi which had a diverse texture palate between the soft porridge, crispy bits, and the fish. The ponzu sauce was the highlight of this dish and the rest was not memorable. The langoustine came next and it was good but unremarkable. The orzo was fun to eat and I recall that texture more than the langoustine. The dry aged ribeye came as the main dish and it was a good slice of meat. However, I did not get the chimichurri flavor at all... the sauce just tasted like a jus. I liked the piece of fat? on the side which had an explosion of flavor. As a palate cleanser, they served a raspberry ice cream with raspberry gel and dried raspberry and while delicious, it was very sweet so my palate did not feel very cleansed. Onto the desserts, the walnut raisin bread was soft and the raisins were a nice sweet surprise in the cheese and black truffle combo. This cheese was as light as a brie and made for a great spread. After, we were presented with a hive-looking ice cream which was another highlight for me. I really liked how the kumquat sweetness differed from the honey everywhere else. Finally, they presented us with some petit four options but there was 5 options. The caramel chocolate bit was the best one out of the bunch, followed by the almond cookie, bonbon, gelatin, and I don't even remember the other one. This place was an incredibly unique experience with some of the best service I've ever had, but the food was a little lackluster. I would highly recommend visiting once or going for a corporate event. This all came out to $350.

This is a lovely place to meet friends for coffee. The views are fantastic, the ambiance is gorgeous, service is great.I went for lunch once and the food wasn't good (for me at least) so we stick to drinks now.So grateful to have this wonderful lounge near our apartment!

It has a stunning view of both Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. The service was great and the food was great. It only offers prefixed menus at the dining room. The options were $165 for a 3-course or $225 for a 5-course meal. For us the 3-courses were just right, not to mention that the chef offered both pre meal and after meal treats.

Has a great ambience of exclusivity from the moment you have to check in before getting into the elevator and the ground floor,. Nice darkened hallway that opens up to some amazing views of the city, particularly at night!Service was very attentive despite being busy, and has a very luxurious but professional attitude. Had great expectations of the chef prepared food, which were displayed very artistically, but unfortunately tasted pretty average tobland. Small portions, and a little disappointed that the food wasn't quite as tasty as I would expect for a high-end club. For example, the Wagyu didn't taste any different than a ground sirloin tartar and certainly not high-quality A5 Wagyu. Next time, I may go here for the drinks and maybe an appetizer, but certainly not for fine dining.

Reservations are very hard to come by, only for Black Card members, recently Platinum Card can also make reservations, but you have to call Amex and ask them to help you make a reservation.View: It has a breathtaking view of the New York skyline.Food: This restaurant is run by Daniel Boulud's team, so the food tastes up to Michelin level, the ingredients are fresh, seasonal ingredients are used, and it's good value for money.‍ Service: The service is very good and makes you feel attentive. Definitely want to go back again, but so hard to book a place ah!

I know I'm stating the obvious when I'm saying the views are spectacular which is what you expect on the 55th floor of one Vanderbilt. The service was great. Our waiter was named echo everyone and staff was impeccably dressed. The food was at a high standard, but the duck was chewy. The black bass was OK. The lobster was very good which was an up charge. The five cheese is also an up charge but very good. The star of the night was the seared Foie Gras unbelievable. They had a reasonable Turley' Zinfidel on the wine list. You come here for the incredible experience and views the food good not great is secondary.

You knew coming here would be pricey. You're here because of your American Express status, and the concierge scored you a reservation. On the 55th floor, you're soaking in the stunning views, including the Chrysler Building. Great photo ops!I came for social drinks and small bites. The cocktails were great, even with the giant ice cube. I ordered the tuna tartare--it was super fresh and delicious. I also had the DB burger, which was solid, but was it worth $35? Definitely not. As for the cheese board, I'd skip it--limited selection and not worth it.

Centurion New York is on the 55th Floor of One Vanderbilt. A collaboration with Chef Daniel Boulud, the food is what you would expect, excellent. The views are simply among the best in the city. Although just opened, the service is very good. Looking forward to using it on a regular basis. The views are phenomenal.
