    This is not just farm to table. Its an experience. Firstly, finger foods literally is meant to be eaten with the fingers. Then comes everything else. The quality of food, the flavors and unique items. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The ambiance was warm yet upscale. Great birthday dinner for sure.

    Food and cocktails were excellent!! Even though our table wasn’t ready at the time of our reservation, staff were apologetic and comped a glass of wine and an appetizer for the wait. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very cozy and overall we had a great time! We would definitely come back.

    Excellent restaurant with a good atmosphere to go with it. Service was great, wine selection was excellent, I can see what people rave about this place. I highly recommend trying “The Egg” when you see it on the menu, don’t ask, just get it. Fun experience! Great place for a nice celebration, they definitely do the work to take care of you.

    Beautiful restaurant with excellent atmosphere for any sort of gathering.Out of all the food we ordered we enjoyed:- agnolotti: super creamy and perfectly cooked, portion size is small but pretty heavy.- brick chicken: this was really well done especially for the price, the skin was perfectly crispy- cookie with ice creamI thought could probably skip:- Laotian sushi (although it was kind of interesting)- foie gras- chilli lobster (this was a little underwhelming)- halibut

    Dining at Forgione is a wonderful experience. The food is stellar and the service is excellent and attentive. The sommeliers recommendations perfectly complemented our meal, enhancing our experience. Our server was great. From the warm ambiance to the personal touches, Forgione makes you feel good. Highly recommended for anyone seeking something that is worth it.

    I stumbled upon a random TikTok my daughter sent me that was about FORGE being a great meal. We were visiting NYC so her and I decided to give it a try. It was hands down the BEST meal we had the entire trip. The portions were so great- we were able to try multiple items- we ordered the oysters and wings to start- followed by the chili lobster (which was hands down our favorite) for the main meal we did the brick chicken. Everything was so good we HAD to try dessert which was so fun because we ordered the “Egg”.What was so great besides the amazing food- the service was also the best we had had in New York. My daughter is only 13 and we had multiple experiences at other nicer restaurants where they took one look at my daughter and seemed instantly annoyed that i had a kid with me. Not at FORGE! They treated us so kind and my daughter said the whole experience was so amazing it was “life changing”. She even asked me if she could meet the chef to say thanks (which she has never asked before)Since COVID it seems the service industry isn’t what it used to be but coming here made me so hopeful that restaurants still care about customers experience. Will be back 100% and i will for sure recommend to everyone i know visiting NYC.

    Seemed like the bar are was a bit short staffed but overall great experience and excellent food!

  • Review 8 (2021-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    We had our Anniversary dinner here and loved everything. We basically ordered everything on the menu cause it’s hard to choose. The chef and the bakery chef are talented and mastered the art of flavors. Plus, my husband and I love the letter from the Forge Fam. Thank you for this beautiful night.

  • Review 9 (2024-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    I don’t give 5 stars. This Tribeca mainstay is one I would recommend for any occasion, from the fanciest to an easy night out. The staff is friendly and professional with a sommelier who knows their wines and a customized menu by Marc Forgione himself. Over the many years of coming here, I have my faves which include the hiramasa, the lobster, the chicken, the proposal sauce and anything on that dessert menu. On this particular day, I had The Egg. Wow! Go!

  • Review 10 (2024-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    The food is excellent! We loved every dish as well as the service. The wine was also amazing and we loved the atmosphere. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the food was timed perfectly. Lastly, the food portions were great for the price! A very excellent meal and dining experience for an excellent price! Highly recommend, we will be back soon!

  • Review 11 (2024-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    Incredibly good from starters to desserts. Everything was excellent and the staff is so attentive and kind. Atmosphere is wonderful as well!

  • Review 12 (2019-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    The staff! The drinks! The food! Is all top shelf! Pretty impressive cocktail menu here. More impressive was I couldnt stop after having just one. The food selection is perfect! Not an overwhelming amount of options which is a good sign they do a few things and they do them very well. We had the porterhouse steak for two. It was as delicious as it was beautiful in the presentation. Great appetizers, great wine list, great desserts, great coffee. Im happy to have found this fine dining experience in Tribeca

  • Review 13 (2024-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    The new location of Marc Forgione does not disappoint.Food: Solid. We got the Laotian sushi, sourdough bread, lobster appetizer and lamb main. All very delicious. I wish the lamb was a bit warmer, came closer to room temp. The dessert cookies are insaneAtmosphere: rustic and cool american vibes

  • Review 14 (2023-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    Romantic, cozy, and dimly lit Michelin starred restaurant in Tribeca that fires on all cylinders! From the ambiance to the suave service, from the starters to the dessert, everything was top notch! With a small seasonal menu, the chef doesnt fail to disappoint on any item. The ravioli were tasting many quality, savoring every bite. The duck with cherry sauce was among the best duck dishes weve had, and the chicken under a brick was 120% something to write home about. Absolutely elegant in its simplicity! I love to cook at home and it got me thinking how I could recreate something this amazing with beautiful ingredients! The egg dessert is a surprise, but its like something out of a Netflix cooking show, spectacle and flavor in every bite!! Dont hesitate to splurge on an evening here!!

  • Review 15 (2024-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    You could tell from the street this place has it. The service was really friendly from the bartender to the waiters and staff. The atmosphere is just a perfect low light cool vibe and the food was fresh tasting and incredible! Loved the wagyu beef and the corn raviolis! Also get The Egg!

  • Review 16 (2023-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    Food is very delicious. You can taste the high ingredients they use. They did a good job of getting the lamb smell out. The seasoning is on point. Customer service is probably the best in the city so far

  • Review 17 (2018-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    Rustic restaurant with some delicious heavy hearty main courses. They take pride in serving diners fresh farm-to-table ingredients. Service was excellent. We were a big group and were treated like royalty. Unpretentious atmosphere for a good time!

  • Review 18 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    This was our first time here and we LOVED it. The food was amazing, interesting, and unique. Huge thanks to Andres and Robert, and the rest of the team for incredible service and care. We’re definitely coming back!

  • Review 19 (2021-06-06 - Rating: 4)

    Great service, location, and taste. As you’d expect, the portions aren’t amazing but the flavors are unique and very memorable. The ravioli and lobster dish were amazing. The sizes of the dishes were a guessing game for me - lobster, ravioli, mussels were all relatively small and then the brick chicken was truly a dish to share (absolutely huge). The chicken itself isn’t special but i would still recommend it.

  • Review 20 (2018-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    When you enter you feel a very comforting ambiance. It is definitely a warm homie feeling. Im very pleased with their menu and what they have to offer. Yes it is pricey but it is definitely worth the flavor the you will experience. I would highly recommend this place if youre on a date it doesnt matter what age you are because this place is impressive. Im looking forward to my next visit once the weather gets a little better.

  • Review 21 (2024-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Great spot. Had the Laotian Sushi and Notkitori skewers to start. Both were fantastic but the Laotian Sushi was the most remarkable. Crunchy, toasty rice cubes with fresh fish and spicy sauce. So great!! The Salmon Croquettes were spot on as well. The only misfire was the Pork Chop. The chop was chewy and the sweet apple and spice reduction served over the pork simply overwhelmed the meat. The combination worked better on paper than in reality. Will go again just for the Laotian Sushi!

  • Review 22 (2024-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Hopping vibe here at Forgione.Aged Tuna Crudo starter special very good.Halibut on cauliflower purée absolutely excellent.Lamb Roundhouse with lamb neck croquettes soooo unique.Highly recommend.

  • Review 23 (2023-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful food, good service. The place had a good vibe despite a few loud banking bros. The starters were phenomenal. Must try the Hiramasa.

  • Review 24 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    RUN to Forgione, you will not be disappointed! Menu highlights include hiramasa, chicken under a brick, chili lobster, corn ravioli, rigatoni nero, oysters. Drinks were also top notch. I loved the white negroni! Can’t wait to return for another amazing meal.

  • Review 25 (2023-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    If you are looking for a great place to enjoy amazing cocktails and brilliant food in New York City, look no further than Marc Forgione.The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with dim lighting, rustic decor and friendly staff.The cocktails are creative and delicious, and the food is simply outstanding.We tried the chili lobster, the chicken under a brick, the halibut and the chocolate cake, and everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor.The whole experience was incredible, and we left feeling satisfied and happy. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a treat.

  • Review 26 (2017-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If your on a date and want a dinner for two, HIGHLY recommend the chicken under a brick, with out a doubt the best chicken dish I’ve had in my life.

  • Review 27 (2019-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    I would like to share my revelation: there is a reason why Marc Forgione is an Iron Chef. My advice is to go to his restaurant with an open mind, let go of any preconceived ideas, open up ur wallet/purse, and let Marc Forgione guide you through the ride that is his culinary mind. Tasting Menu! Do it! Who knows, you may discover something new about yourself.. I mean, I didnt know I liked oysters, but apparently I do! Have I enticed you yet? Good. Youre welcome.

  • Review 28 (2017-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    I can honestly say that the degustation menu is the best culinary experience I ever had in NYC. The service was impeccable, friendly and funny. The food (special mention to the bbq oysters) was incredible. Admittedly I went there for a business dinner (which allows one to order the best on the menu) but I vividly recommend this restaurant.

  • Review 29 (2019-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    We have celebrated our anniversary almost every year at Marc Forgione’s. We have never been disappointed. We were once again at Forgione’s for our 42nd anniversary. The food was amazing. But the service was even better. The Chef even stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special nice evening out.

  • Review 30 (2018-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Happy anniversary to me... I mean us!! This place was amazing! I can tell you the story from start to end but it really is just easier to say Go , go now asap lol My boyfriend for our 1 year told then it was our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it so special definitely a night to remember!!

  • Review 31 (2024-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    Probably one of the best restaurants Ive been to in a while and will most certainly be back in the near future. Food was incredible and innovative. Excited to return

  • Review 32 (2024-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Over the top experience. The new space has the same comforting feeling as the original. The food was phenomenal. The kitchen is turning out great dishes . Everything was delicious from start to finish. The pastas were outstanding. The lobster was great . The sauce was over the top. Save room for dessert because it was extra delicious.Everything was excellent for our table this evening.Wishing Chef Marc and his team years of continued success.Thank you .......

  • Review 33 (2019-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    Just finished up my 5th meal here and it was as good as ever. This place never disappoints. The Lobster Chili is a must. But if you have time (and open to weird/unique deliciousness) go for the tasting menu...you won’t be disappointed.

  • Review 34 (2024-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    Exceptional place to eat, truly! The chicken dish and turkey fried steak were some of the best protein dishes I’ve had in a while. Service was also best in class. Felt very welcome, generally homey environment.

  • Review 35 (2024-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Best meal of our NYC visit. Delicious food, great service and fun space

  • Review 36 (2024-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    First time at new location - everything I said before is still true. Assertive and complex flavors. Every dish delicious. Marc circles the room periodically greeting and making sure everyone is happy. New spot is a bit more casual and noise level a bit higher but seems appropriate for the times. Love it and will put this in heavy rotation.been here 5 or 6 times in past year. Each time, every plate on the table tastes fabulous. Complex flavors, meat and fish cooked perfectly, plated beautifully. What more can you ask for? Oh, and the service is excellent - friendly, intimate, professional and helpful. And the atmosphere is warm, comfortable and cozy, and not noisy. GO.

  • Review 37 (2024-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    Visited this hidden gem in Tribeca for dinner during the week. Excellent food and service. All the dishes were great. I would come back again to try their pastas.

  • Review 38 (2024-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best meals we’ve had in NYC. Went family style with friends and was able to try many items. Definitely get the ravioli! Great wine menu as well.

  • Review 39 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Just popped in for a drink at the bar. This place is beautiful and high end while still feeling like a local spot. The staff is super knowledgeable, and my cocktail was made damn well.

  • Review 40 (2023-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Marc Forgione always delivers a memorable experience. We’ve been coming here for 8+ years and have never had a bad experience.Getting a res can be challenging, but it’s usually pretty easy to get seats at the bar and sometimes this ends up being even more fun!Menu items not to be missed are the Hiramasa (you’ll dream about this dish), Chili Lobster (ask for extra toast to scoop up all of the broth), and Chicken under a brick.This time around for mains, we opted to try something outside of the Chicken and went for the Duck and Oxtail pasta, both were delicious!We always enjoy our time at Forgione and look forward to the next one!**Final note: the bartender was truly fantastic and was killing it the whole night while making cocktails for the entire restaurant and servicing guests at the bar, truly impressive. Wish we got her name!!

  • Review 41 (2023-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for dinner. I like the decorations and lighting. I ordered the Hiramasa tartare, and the famous chicken under a brick (in half size, for myself). I like the flavor for both dishes and my taste bud was activated joyfully. Will come back for more dishes.

  • Review 42 (2022-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place was my favorite restaurant Ive been too in quite a long time. Food was great, service was great , and the place itself was awesome. Went for my birthday, each dish was good, and they had a really good drinks menu as well. Very very good bourbon options

  • Review 43 (2019-01-03 - Rating: 4)

    Came with a group of 10-12. Had a set menu.Appetizers were really tasty and interesting. The type of dishes where you get one or two bites to just try the taste and texture.There was an oyster dish that was amazing.But after two of those the rest of the food took a pretty long time to come out and suddenly we got 4-5 dishes of very heart heavy food, including steak, chicken, a lobster dish. Everyone struggled to eat and enjoy it because the pacing was off.Also the wine service was poor. We waited way too long for bottles to open and our glasses were empty for an annoyingly long time. We deliberately ordered two bottles at a time to avoid it but still kept happening.I do think its worth trying out this place as they had some good dishes, but I wouldnt go back again personally

  • Review 45 (2019-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    The place oozes style and sophistication... its warm, dimly-lit lots of candles and perfect cool tunes. I sat on the bar side and had great service. The amuse-bouche that the chef sent was an everything bagel bite that could be the best thing Ive eaten in months. Lets not forget that this is a Iron Chefs restaurant and the quality, style and presentation... along with the delicious combination of flavors I had makes this restaurant easily one of the best in a city full of great ones.

  • Review 46 (2022-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    An amazing food and beautiful atmosphere! Ordered Pasta - it was great. The sushi they have as an appetizer were amazing,but spicy, be aware.The stuff was super friendly and accommodating. Will be back because of a great food!

  • Review 47 (2023-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    Had a great experience here. The chicken under a brick was phenomenal. Definitely a sharing plate between 2-3 people, perhaps even 4 if youre light eaters. We started with the bread and butter. It was great. Loved the onion butter. The chicken under a brick was exceptionally excellent. Highly recommend. And we finished it off with the cookie and melted ice cream desert. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. Also best if shared between 2-4 people.

  • Review 48 (2019-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    I wish I could give this place 10 stars... easily the best meal Ive ever had, hands down. Every single bite was impeccable. We had a larger group and had to do the prefix menu but I dont think it inhibited our experience in the least bit. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed, and although a bit on the pricier side, the mixed drinks were absolutely delicious.

  • Review 49 (2020-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely decadent experience from the moment I walked in the door. The ambiance is beautiful. The service was 2nd to none. Sushi was 11/10. The bartender Christina was completely helpful with the dishes as well as cocktail choices. Jason the front of house manager made my experience top notch. Chef Doug came out table side to assure all dishes were as expected. Will be back and will be referring all friends and family visiting NYC.

  • Review 50 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place. The chef clearly thought out every meal and it was an experience. I live in Tribeca and think it’s one of the best meals I’ve had since I lived in NYC for 2 years?

  • Review 51 (2019-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Really delicious food, the chicken for two is amazing. I like that the atmosphere is casual You could go in slacks or jeans, no one would care. The drink are good, a bit pricey but good. Everything on the menu looks so delicious, i will have to make multiple visits.

  • Review 52 (2019-10-05 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite restaurant I have ever been to in the world. Whenever I go to New York I absolutely have to go here. Ambience and atmosphere is awesome, is cozy and intimate, yet down home. Food is always fresh with great flavors and presentation. Service is attentive, informed and friendly but not the hovering type. And great cocktails and wine selection. The food is pleasing to both foodies and others who want good food and options.

  • Review 53 (2023-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    From the time we walked in, we were greeted and treated with kindness.The food is always great in flavor and quality. The only thing was the olive torte was way too sweet. Try everything!

  • Review 54 (2021-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    The food is all very delicious and the atmosphere is great. In particular, you have to try the Hiramasa Tartare. That dish is an experience and tasted multiple levels beyond anything else that night. It might as well come from a different restaurant - that’s how much better it was.Beyond that, most everything was good but not repeat visit good. The steak was better than the pasta but not anything special. The bread - also really good. Drinks we also good but not standout.

  • Review 55 (2012-08-29 - Rating: 4)

    A great spot- good food and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Some of the portions were a bit small. I had the lamb chops and were amazing. My friend had the scallops, which were a bit meager for a dinner portion. Aside from that, a great place to dine. The atmosphere really made it for me.

  • Review 56 (2019-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    We had the best gastronomical experience last night! Each dish was bursting with flavor! The garlic bread! The Heirloom Tomatoes! The Aegean Ravioli! The Day Boat Swordfish! My favorite would have to be the Snowdance Farms Chicken Under A Brick!And the restaurant decor blew us away! The staff was amazing! All worth the trip from CT!

  • Review 57 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Weve been coming here for years and it never lets us down. But last night was particularly special. Cara & Keita (sp??) made our night especially delightful. The new(ish) restaurant space is lovely. And the food is always consistently delicious. The halibut dish is top 3 favorite dishes of all time for me. We come to New York and center our trip around at least one meal at Forge. Love it. Thanks for being awesome guys!

  • Review 58 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best meals I’ve had ever. We came for a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We had the chili lobster, nokitori, halibut, chicken, and s’mores. Highly recommend!

  • Review 59 (2021-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    The portions are small, but the cheff & team focus on the taste buds excitation, rather than filling up stomachs. They do succeed. I enjoyed pretty much every dish we ordered and the waves of flavours that came and went with every one of them

  • Review 60 (2020-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome vibe, excellent food all around and great service. Might be somewhat pricier than other similar places but totally worth it.Tip: everything was delicious but the chicken wings were amazing.

  • Review 61 (2022-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    Another wonderful experience at Marc Forgione! Ive been here a few times and always really enjoyed the entire experience. From the moment you walk in all the little details are thought of, the waitress even commented on our booking information which made it feel personal. Food was delicious! We had the rolls, lobster croquettes, roast potato ravioli, halibut, monkfish curry and 10 minute cookies. Also the margaritas were perfect. Thank you for everything, we look forward to returning.

    From the moment we walked in, Marc Forgione’s was going to be a delightful experience! We didn’t have reservations and it was Saturday night. Yet, we were greeted with enthusiasm! Stephen Tsui, General Manager, was very personable and shared insights into the restaurant scene. Robert Was our server and we were treated to a fantastic evening. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable! The stories from Both Mr Tsui and Robert were enlightening and entertaining! Highly recommend this wonderful culinary experience!

    Although Im not on a first name basis yet with the bartenders like some of my friends, I definitely frequent this place quite often. The drinks are good and whether you want a quick delicious app or a mouth watering innovative meal, MF never disappoints.The bone marrow is my favorite item ever so far, but Ive been trying someone different each time I go.

  • Review 66 (2017-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. Head chef Marc Forgione does not mess around. The dishes are all prepared with such care and the presentation is simply beautiful. The restaurant gives you some complimentary tasters of little creations they have for the night. It is nearly impossible to get in, so call ahead early and make a reservation. On OpenTable, you can usually get a table for two after 9:30pm. All of the food is amazing, and I really like the little ice cream cones for dessert! There is also communal seating and a nice big bar, so it is a great place to come for a lively atmosphere with lots of background chatter. The service is top notch.

  • Review 67 (2017-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent atmosphere, well designed cocktail menu, but I recommend in particular the tiki drink. Only had appetizers and can recommend the chicken skewers, peppers, and sushi. Small portions, not cheap, very tasty.

  • Review 68 (2018-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    Very impressed by the quality of the food, the setting and the professional service. My favorite dish were the BBQ oysters, just delicious. Also, save some room for your dessert as the freshly baked cookies were incredible. Two points of feedback: 1. the pacing could be improved, we started with very tiny dishes and finished with a huge main. 2. There should be more washrooms in a restaurant like this.

  • Review 69 (2021-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible as always. Chicken under a brick is phenomenal. The steak tartare and smokin’ hot oysters were great too. The seasonal cocktails were solid, especially the Japanese whiskey.

    Top notch service and food. One has to be very picky to have issues with their dishes. Great flavors without being totally overpowering like some nicer restaurants try to do. Very unique offerings of american fare.

    Love this place. Just a consistently good farm to table restaurant with creative preparation and a great atmosphere. Their signature chicken under a brick is a must have. Quick tip - on the menu it is listed as for two but you can order it for just one.

    Great atmosphere. Very cozy and romantic. Food was incredible flavorful and pleasing to the palate. The fois gras starter with ox tail was superb. The ribeye and venison left us wanting more. Simply delicious! On our way out we were surprised with a couple warm chocolate chips cookies from heaven with milk of course. Next time I am come thru NYC we will be stopping by!

    The food and the service was top notch. We had the Smokin Peters Point to start, followed by Chili Lobster with Texas toast, Snowdance Farms Chicken Under-a-Brick (for two); and finished with the smores. Throughout the meal our waiter made wine recommendations which paired perfectly with our meal. I have been here several times with my wife and each time has been a unique dining experience.

  • Review 80 (2012-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great restaurant, would definitely reccommend! We had the tasting menu which was excellent value at $99 per person. Even if a table cant be booked, the bar food is off the same menu and the cocktails are beautiful. I honestly couldnt find a fault with the place.

  • Review 81 (2021-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing dinner! The hiramasa is their signature dish and its like nothing Ive ever had before. Gotta try it! Also got the amatriciana, and also a super delicious, unique version. Yum yum yum

  • Review 82 (2021-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    One of NYC’s most special dining experiences. Had my friends 30th bday here and they went so far above and beyond to make it special I couldn’t believe it. From a handwritten card to champagne for me and a mocktail for him (sober), to unreal food (get the Texas toast lobster) this place is such a special gem. I always look forward to coming here!!!

  • Review 83 (2014-04-04 - Rating: 4)

    This restaurant is the quintessential Tribeca, new-American bistro. Its warm and inviting, but also hip and bustling. First of all, the menu is pretty edited, and making a decision wont be too difficult. The chili lobster and chicken for two were standouts. Be forewarned, the prices are high, and the waiters push the upsells pretty hard. Reservations are not terribly difficult to get on OpenTable, but that doesnt mean theyre busy; on my last visit, I was asked to vacate the table after a 2.5 hour dinner. I dont blame them, but after spending this kind of money, it leaves a poor final impression.

  • Review 84 (2018-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    Very good food. Small outdoor space, really great un summer especially since the street is very quiet. Selection of wine is nice and service is irreproachable. We had a good time and would definitively recommend this place.

  • Review 86 (2018-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    Far and away the best real restaurant in NYC. Not pretentious, not froofy and filled with fakeness. Marc is the real deal. Hes a chef that understands what is and what food could be. He has a fantastic pallet and his team works hard to deliver a memorable experience for every guest every time. His chicken under a brick is the simplest dish on the menu but is the most memorable.

  • Review 87 (2024-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible food, cozy atmosphere and staff went above and beyond to ensure an amazing birthday celebration! Thank you

  • Review 88 (2013-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Can I give it 6 stars? So amazing, the menu changes frequently but they keep the staples that is awesome. There is such a human touch here that the service alone can warrant an excellent rating but the food speaks so well for itself that I believe this my first five star rating. IT IS THAT GOOD... STOP!

  • Review 89 (2019-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    You cant go wrong with their famous brick chicken but to truly appreciate what this kitchen is capable of doing you should opt for the tasting menu. The service is always great and the atmosphere is perfect - you get great food without the pretentiousness you get at other restaurants that serve the same quality of food. Go and eat here.

  • Review 90 (2019-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing American restaurant in Tribeca! They had a little bit of everything. Truffles were on the scene the night we went so we had a lobster cavatelli with truffles that was a game changer! Its not on the regular menu but expect specials like this regularly.We also had the lobster app with Texas toast. The toast in the not-to-spicy au jus was insane! Too much lobster? How dare you :)We also had the halibut which blew our minds! Just get it and thank us later. Lastly, we had a half portion of the chicken. I would recommend skipping the chicken because it is cooked in fat and way too many calories than it needs to be.

  • Review 91 (2024-08-06 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 94 (2011-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    Enjoyed a variety of great food with friendly, professional service. Chef was checking on everyone, a nice touch. Probably easy to grab a seat at the larger communal table in the bar area if you want to check it out.

  • Review 95 (2021-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    Dining here was definitely the highlight of our weekend. Creative dishes with superb presentation, from decorative flourishes to distinctive plates, no aspect was neglected. The wines were excellent.

  • Review 96 (2018-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    This eponymous restaurant is dark, sexy and attracts an endless stream of downtown denizens. Abundant candles produce more atmosphere than light for the room clad in exposed brick and salvaged wood. Aloof servers dressed in black seem to disappear into the background. The innovative American food excites with bold flavors, as in barbecued oysters sprinkled with pancetta powder. Montauk fluke en croute, set over roasted cauliflower, hazelnuts and capers topped with a buttery panel of toast, is dressed with sauce proposal-so named because the rich brown butter and golden raisin emulsion is said to have earned the chef a few romantic offers. It is delicious, but Chef Marc Forgione deserves equal affection for those amazing butter-glazed potato rolls.

  • Review 99 (2014-04-20 - Rating: 4)

    Iron Chef Marc Forgiones namesake restaurant has been serving delectable dishes in TriBeCa for many years. Although they no longer have a Michelin star (from 2010-2011), the quality of food is still worth making a trek for. A dim, bustling ambiance at night makes for an non-intrusive dining environment, worthy of dates or even business dinners. To begin the meal - any of their hearty pastas are perfect on a winter evening, but their raw preparations of fish are also commendable. The star of the menu is the Bell & Evan Roast Chicken for Two, however; its served in a cast-iron skillet and comes with potatoes, broccoli rabe, and plenty of pan drippings. Its well-seasoned and well-portioned, and sure to satisfy any appetite. Make a reservation in advance as tables at this restaurant can fill up quickly.

  • Review 103 (2019-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic food, great service. Had the duck fritters, tomato salad and beef tenderloin. All of which was perfectly presented, and cooked to perfection. I could really tell how carefully the chef took care to separate but compliment each of the flavors in each dish. Certainly on my favorites list.

  • Review 104 (2012-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Iron Chef Marc Forgione restaurant continues the tradition of serving excellent food from the Forgione family. Highlights include the Chicken Under a Brick, hands down the best chicken I have ever had. Add the supplemental Truffles ($25-$60, depending on season) & savor a dish that will be engrained in your pallet for a very long time. Tip, sit at communal table even when no reservations available

    5 Stars! Yes, the food is incredible (chicken is our fave and the cookies - amazing!), but for us its the warm service that keeps us coming back (10 years and going strong). Maxamina, Summer, and the entire staff make us feel like were coming over to friends home for a beautiful meal. True neighborhood gem!

  • Review 111 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Had a wonderful birthday dinner here on a Friday night in the new location. The atmosphere was buzzing, the team/staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend letting the server guide you through the menu and ask for the somm to recommend a wine pairing! Each dish was unique and intentional, and even fun (Hirimasa app and the egg dessert)! We’re Chef Marc fans, and the luck that he was in the restaurant and was friendly was just the icing on the cake for my birthday dinner! We’ll be back next time we visit the city.
