Perrine

"Something fancy and impressive" was the request from my coworkers and global visitors of my workplace. Perrine was the right choice as it offered traditional French cuisine and satisfactory portions of classic European dishes. I could've gone with other signature New York fine dining establishments but this place has the visuals and food to match it.This restaurant shares its space with a hotel and an accessible stage room, perfect for holiday parties for huge companies. The food itself was fantastic and we came here on a typical weekday lunch time. Very packed but the service was great in catering to the lunch rush crowd. Most of the dishes I ate didn't make it to my camera so I'll describe each in detail. Lobster bisque soup had a great presentation where they showed the blend and poured it from a metallic boat, making sure the bits of lobster meat was nicely decorated on top of my soup bowl. Next was the Branzino because I love a good crisp cut of fish with the grilled skin and buttery meat underneath. It was seasoned well with herbs and garlic cream sauce. I did get the opportunity to take a picture of my strawberry meringue panna cotta. This was one of the best panna cottas I had because the meringue, custard, powdered sugar and fruits were toppled in the right order for the flavors to soak in well. I enjoy a good meringue and this was so much fun to take bit by bit whilst tasting. It was a victory decision for me choosing this place and even better introducing it to my coworkers. Even more now that we have a go-to restaurant when our other global coworkers visit.

Another restaurant week spot. Have you ever wondered what French food with an Indian touch would be like. Well this spot will answer your question. Not going to lie, I was first interested in this spot because of the beautiful decor, with the grand staircase and cloud ceilings. Unfortunately, we were not seated there for dinner. We were seated in the regular dining room, which was still pretty, but ... Not what I expected. The food was good but at this price point, it would be more of a one time thing.We ordered:Complimentary bread (I forgot to take a photo)Appetizer:Coronation ChickenTuna Tartare Entree:The Pierre BurgerRogan JoshBrazinoDessert:Warm Chocolate CakeCreme Brule

I went for my friends birthday as she wanted to celebrate her birthday somewhere upscale with a nice backdrop. There was another room you can reserve but I believe you need to pay 1200 to book, so we just decided to reserve the room after dinner to take photos.We ordered a few things, and all of them came out fine and not bad! We ordered shrimp cocktail, charceuterie board, spaghetti with tomato sauce, steak, escargots, fries and two different salads: Salade Frisée Aux Lardons & Salade Perrine. Amongst the 7 of us we paid around 150 each for all of this including the espresso martinis.I would say the steak and the salads are the only thing I would really come back for while the rest were sort of mid - the steak was cooked very well and pretty yummy and I enjoyed personally the escargots but it wasn't a table favorite. The cocktail shrimp was fresh but not anything to note back on and spaghetti was very very mid. I will say the charcuterie board came with pate that tasted very good and I enjoyed some of the jams and meats on there. The espresso martinis tasted quite funky however came with lots of alcohol so you're getting your 35 dollar hit of alcoholism at least. I think it's way too expensive for the quality you receive here. The free birthday cake they sent was really bad and dry and I ended up not enjoying the fact one of the waiters at the end poked fun at us after we decided to leave by saying xie xie since we're all Asian and the staff laughed about it but we're not all Chinese so I just found this to be inappropriate and rude.

Came here one day (early afternoon) to wait until Avra's bar area was less crowded.Enjoyed a few cocktails and my fiancé had vino that he said was quite good.We came back the next day to have their steak and it was enjoyable. The atmosphere is quite chill, doesn't have a buzz to it which I actually prefer. It felt like being at a friend's bar at their house. Very convenient place since it's by the park as well.

Had saved Perrine down on my "to visit" place while ago and was so excited to finally make it there; however; I was a little underwhelmed by the food for the price. Also the beautiful rotunda in all pics is now only used for special events / weddings. Our server was very kind and he was working really hard but the restaurant seemed a little disorganized / confused. Dishes we had: Escargot was a bit bland and initially was served without bread Special - scallop saffron risotto, this dish prob saved the day as scallops were cooked very well and risotto & sauce were deliciousNY strip steak & fries, this dish was good but nothing outstanding

The waiters are super duper nice and very helpful. He gave us multiple recommendations and my favorite is braised short ribs and the squid ink pasta. Food is absolutely delicious. They also have Black truffles that can be topped to any dishes. Dessert is apple pie with butter pecan ice cream. Highly recommended by our server and absolutely delicious. The pie crust just melts inside your mouth. Nice ambiance and perfect for date nights or any special occasions. Also make sure you take some pictures at the foyer, which is located in front of the bathrooms. Definitely a must try place in NYC!

Had an amazing dinner at Perrine yesterday. I tried one of their steaks and pavlova for dessert. The food was exactly what I expected. Meat temperature cooked to order. Simple and delicious. The service is great, friendly and very attentive. There were 2 servers helping me out at the table. A cozy place steps away from Central Park.

Came by with two friends on a Wed. We had reservations, but at the time the restaurant wasn't too busy - a handful of tables here and there with the overall elegantly quiet atmosphere.We decided to order a few dishes to share family-style. First, we had the crab imperial flatbread. The crab was very tasty and I liked the herbs that added a nice touch. However, I found the flatbread itself to be a bit bland (e.g. the crusts without crab on it in particular were not very tasty).We also had the striped bass which was quite nice. Fish was fresh and well cooked, and the complementary potato addition was a nice textural contrast. Finally, we had the paneer pasanda which was my favourite. I loved the tomato sauce (which I actually ended up using for some of the less-flavoured bites of the flatbread). The cheese itself was a bit hard texturally - difficult to cut but was OK to chew. The finger millet was not to my taste but I think was fine to pair with the paneer.Service was overall very attentive but I did think that the food took abnormally long to come, especially given the relatively small number of other customers at the time. Price point was about as expected, if not a bit lower, which was nice to see. Good experience overall but given the glut of fantastic restaurants in the city I'm not sure if I'm that keen on coming back soon.(Also, we didn't get bread and I didn't realise that that might have been a thing until seeing some of the other reviews here lol)

Cozy place right off of 5 th avenue. Always busy with good energy. Great bar (we dis not eat there). But a bit pricey. Go knowing you will be in a beautiful hotel on 5th avenue near central park... of course its pricey. But a great experience
