Shmoné

I highly recommend sitting at the bar, if available. The bar countertop is usually good when eating alone or with a date, but it allows you to see how well crafted and dedicated the chefs are. The food also proved this to be true at Shmone. I highly recommend the fava beans as an app. It was the best thing we ate all night and I would come back just for that dish. If you're going to do the fava beans make sure to order the Jerusalem bagel to soak up the broth and ricotta. We also enjoyed the octopus, cocktails and tres leches desert as a special.

Wife and I came for my birthday. She ordered the mocktail mojito which she liked and I had a sore throat so got some mint tea that they kept refilling with hot water.The Jerusalem bagel was amazing, and went well with their olive oil and seasonings. Piping hot and full of sesame flavor. You can get this elsewhere but done so well here too.The swordfish schnitzel was spectacular, and the only other time I've had swordfish this tender was at Taverna Kyclades. Not the most flavorful of dishes but I'd get this again for the execution.The wagyu 76 layers was the highlight. Tender meat on top of a surprising mix of tomato, tahini and who knows what else sauce. I asked for a slice of challah bread to soak up the sauce, which I think is homemade? And they didn't even charge us for the bread!The pear mille-feille was the only mediocre note here. Something was lacking, perhaps more cream is needed to balance out the caramelized Pears. There's no pastry in any of this just FYI. They also gave us chocolate truffles for my birthday which was a nice touch.I'd come back but the only problem is, I want to try new items but the ones we had were so good.

Wow, it's rare to find a place where you can say they make the "best" version of something, but Shmone makes the best Swordfish Steak Milanese I've ever had. It was juicy and tender and full of flavor. Very different and worth ordering if it's on the menu! Another great dish is the Beef Short Rib. While you would expect it to be tender, it also has a ton of flavors on the crust and has a great "bark" just like a properly BBQ'd short bib. Another great dish is the mussels which are smoked instead of being steamed. You can taste the smokiness and again, full of flavor . Finally, you must order their staple, the Jerusalem bagel and pair it with the Hamachi sashimi. The bagel is oven fresh and chewy as any good bagel should be, and paired with the salty sashimi makes a great dish. All my choices were recommended by the waiter so it goes without saying that it's worth listening to them! Finally, if possible, get a seat at the bar facing the kitchen where all the action happens. The tables are kinda dreary and don't compare to the bar seat.

Excellent cooking, if a touch too salty. Friendly, attentive service and excellent ambiance. Standout features include use of charcoal

Overall good experience at shmone, the setting is intimate, it's a pretty small space, service was friendly throughout. The food was good, although thought a number of dishes were unbalanced. favorites were the jerusalem bagel, warm with perfect chewy texture and delicious olive oil and herbs. the beet mille feuille was also very nice. And the dish of the night was the plate of mushrooms - amazing. The sweetbread dish was pretty good, but very rich/decadent it's a large portion. the lasagna is essentially a small pyrex dish of cheese - very heavy. They squeeze some tomato water onto it, but this dish needs way more acid to cut through the fat. Good, but very filling. The larger dishes we got I wasn't impressed with - the grouper sausage stuffed squids were a miss, and the mackerel was simple but salty with little to help balance - served with a lemon aioli and grilled lettuce. Most dishes were on the salty side, felt very fatigued by the end of the meal.

Shmone just got a Michelin star in 2023 and wow did they deserve this!!! Every. Dish. Hits. I came here for dinner with a girlfriend and we shared everything. They recommend 2-4 dishes per person depending on what section of the menu you order from.Starting with the Beirut cocktail, if you love vodka and sweet, this is for you! It was very smooth and loved the pink color. Then the apps- the Brussels sprouts with stracciatella and honey were my FAVE. The flavor combination was incredible, wish I could have had more. Also don't skip out on the artichoke and the eggplant steak.My entree was the "76 layers of wagyu flat iron" cooked medium rare and that was AMAZING. It was surrounded by all these different sauces which made the flavor so complex and interesting. The charred and seasoning on the steak was outstanding. My friend got the John Dory fish and she loved it.To round us out, we split the chocolate mousse and it was the softest mousse ever. They sprinkled little pieces of salt on top. Honestly everything was so good, I can't wait to come back.Our server was so kind and recommended the best items and AJ was so welcoming and loved that checked in on us with shots ;) See you soon Shmone!!

Food 10/10Enjoyed every single dish we ordered. The beef ribs are a must, so flavorful and tender. I thought the sweetbread + tahini + bread was a really great combination, although it did end up being quite fatty. The jerusalum bagel was definitely my favorite-it came out PIPING HOT and soft and airy all at the same time. The artichoke hearts and rock shrimp were also quite solid, but the bread that came with the shrimp stood out more than the shrimp itself. The bread was slightly sweet and perfect for dipping into the sauce. We also got the basque cheesecake and chocolate mousse for dessert, and both did not disappoint. Atmosphere 9/10Very date night vibes, intimate white cloth tables and warm lighting. Felt very cozy inside. Service 9/10Great service.

Great experience here with my friends! Tomer was our server and he was fantastic! The dishes you must order are...-jerusalem bagel-artichoke heart salad covered in parmesan cheese-shrimp pasta-brussel sprouts-wagyu-lasagna

Worth all the stars! Snagged a table shortly after their Michelin rating and was floored by the experience. We sat the chef's counter and it was sensational energy. Tomer our server was super fun and inviting, plus helped us make supreme choices. The veal cheek is never level moist and melt in your mouth.Blue toro two ways is epic Wagyu skewer was some of the best beef of my life.The fig and Stracciatella salad was incredible.The pulled leeks were a dish like none other. Honestly, just go and be floored by flavor and fun! Chef Nadav Greenberg is super nice and breeds a community in the kitchen that is felt by all! Thank you for showing all the love.

The food and the service here is beyond compare. Visited NYC for mother in laws birthday and have visited many nice restaurants with various Michelin stars, but this one is by far the favorite of all. Good was amazing, service was on point, ambience felt like you were at home. Would recommend to anyone.
