Let me start by remarking how wonderful the service was, completely helpful and with not a hint of pretentiousness. The food was quite good as well, don't pass on the desserts. The appetizer list was both interesting and excellent. I had the duck for my main course, it was very good. Overall, Eleven Madison Park would get one of my highest recommendations and one more special kudos to the staff, they were spectacular!

Changed tables twice because we felt like we were in a wind tunnel. Service spotty but the noise was dreadful and in a party of seven I could only talk to the people next to me. The foie gras appetizer was terrific, the main course ordinary. Go, look at the pretty room, and eat somewhere else. Above all else, be careful - theu did not without a dight honor a reservation for restaurant week. Just not worth the money, even by Manhattan standards.

This is the kind of restaurant to go to when you're an adult. No crazy antics at the bar, no themed-food menus, just a lovely old bank converted into a lovely restaurant. it's the type of place to bring your parents or a first date. The room is impressive and the acoustics make for a lovely dining experience. The food is first-rate American and just as tasty as eating at Bouley but without the sticker shock. It's not cheap but it's also not extravagant. A classic in my book.
