WINE LOVERS! 12/26/2004

This was an amazing experience. The bar is beautiful and the atomosphere refined. The wine steward was excellent. He brought over quite a few bottles for us to ""taste"" so that we could pick the perfect wine and spirits for our meal, for every course! The food was superb and I look forward to finding a reason to go. Pros: ATMOSPHERE, SERVICE, SERVICE more

Always great..... 10/7/2004

We have been to Eleven Mad. Park now on 3 occasions, all have been excellent. Service is always friendly, food is always wonderful, and the ambiance is lovely. One night we landed at the bar for a late night dinner, and the hanger steak and frites w/ marjoram aioli was the BEST. I love the 3oz. or 6oz. different wines by the glass, and the lovely cheese puffs/gougeres are out of this world! Addictive! I have enjoyed each of Danny Meyer's restaurants, but this is my favorite. I look forward to dining there again tomorrow evening! more

Top 10 Restaurant 9/4/2004

Eleven Madison is my recommendation for special occasion dining. Khalid, one of their servers had remembered me from my previous dining experience there (over a year ago!). Needless to say, the service is superb. The food even better --- Kerry the chef came out to personally meet his diners. I recommend anything on the menu, especially the cheese puffs, the skate, and make sure you order the chocolate souffle! One week after my 2nd visit to 11 Mad, I received a thank you letter from the chef. This place is ""above and beyond!"". A+++ Pros: Excellent Food, Excellent Service, #1 Dining experience more

I'll definitely return 9/4/2004

I went there around 6pm during the week - on purpose, so it'd be less noisy - and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was smiling, from the hostesses to the waitstaff, and so pleasant. The service was prompt and courteous and we were never left waiting for our wine, entrees or the check. Loved the feel of the place - perfect for a business dinner. Did I mention our food was absolutely delicious? All three of our entrees were tastier than we could've asked for. We left around 8pm just as things were picking up (along with the noise), and our exit was just as warm as our entrance: all smiles and thank yous as we left. Definitely recommend this restaurant and I'm certain I'll return. (I know I sound like I work for the place, but it really was that good.) Pros: friendly waitstaff, prompt service, delicious food more

Groups or Dates 8/12/2004

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at this well-known restaurant. My earlier skepticism that Eleven Mad could be the typical overly en-mode restaurant actually turned out to be an extremely inviting and comfortable atmosphere. The attentive staff truly lifted the experience and the food lived up to its reputation as a great culinary showcase. Pros: Groups/Dates, Classy more

Excellent dining 7/4/2004

Great place for an anniversery, or special event - the room is beautiful, the service is very attentive without being aloof and the food is devine. The portions are just right (although I'm sure out-of-towners would be dissappointed by the size.) There's a french influence to the food but I've no idea why the previous review got so twisted up, they don't claim to be french at all. Oh and don't miss the souffle....! Pros: Great food, beautiful room, service more

So this is French food? 6/10/2004

Went to this establishment with a french female trying to impress her with my knowledge of french food and wine. Unfortunately, this place didn't help. The food was dull and uninteresting. I don't think just giving you small servings necessarily constitutes being french cuisine. Later that evening I was informed that it was not really french food, but just a restaurant claiming to serve french food. I was very disappointed with the overall experience and needless to say I went home alone that evening. Pros: decore, lighting, location Cons: , food, staff more

A Great Meal 5/31/2004

This place is so nice. Went here for a nice, romantic dinner and had such a good time. So many wines to choose from which is always a plus. The tuna tartare is a MUST. The skate was perfectly done and there was just too much to choose from for dessert. I would definitely come back here! Pros: great wine list, desserts, tuna tartare more

Beautiful and Romantic 2/9/2004

I checked out Eleven Madison for the first time during this year's Restaurant Week. I found Eleven Madison Park to be an ideal destination for those who are in search of a romantic dinner. While most restaurants attempt to embarass you into asking for a RW Menu, Eleven Madison actually included their selections in their actual menu. The waiters treated us as if we were royalty and the cheeze puffs were out of this world. A most do if you are in New York city. Pros: Service, Location more

Stellar Service! 11/15/2003

Had the 5-course tasting menu. Everything was great. But it was the service that made the experience excellent!!! They were incredibly attentive, and we ended up getting many more than 5 courses. We couldn't even touch the last one. We were so full. We didn't want to leave. Get the chocolate souffle. It's wonderful! But if you get the tasting menu, you basically get to try all of the best of the entire menu...and more! Also, when making reservations, try to make sure you're not in the front two tables. It can get cold there! Pros: Service, Location, Food Cons: Expensive more

Elegant 10/14/2003

Such a great place! The ambience is lovely...good for either a romantic or business dinner. I went here for my birthday. The food was exceptional. The service was top notch. A free dessert was proffered even though my birthday was not mentioned to the restaurant...apparently the waiter overheard someone in my party. I'm surprised there could be any negative comments about this place. I found it very appealing in every aspect. Pros: ambience, food , service Cons: a little pricey more

Way too expensive! 8/17/2003

I enjoy dining at expensive restaurants as long as there is some value. By value, I mean that the food and service and ambience are excellent. The service was certainly fine, as was the ambience, but the dining was not. If you're considering a night out take a pass on this restaurant. There are dozens of great NYC restaurants. This is not one of them. more

A Perfect Evening 7/30/2003

We drove from Philly for our anniversary and had an absolutely perfect evening. The decor is stunning, the food excellent, and the service outstanding. The sommilier was very helpful and perfectly matched our courses with wines by the glass. I have a hard time imagining that the poor reviews were eating at the same restaurant as I. If you want a very special evening out then go to Eleven Madison Park, you won't be disappointed! Pros: Stunning decor, excellent food, outstanding service Cons: expensive more

Not Worth It! 7/4/2003

Went to Eleven Madison Park for restaurant week dinner. Room is impressive, but service is slow and taste was almost like fast food. Also portions were small. Some elements of dessert were quite nice, and the restaurant week special wines were a nice touch, but not enough to make up for the evening's negatives. Lots of hype and several dishes oversalted. Many other restaurants in the city are better value and much better taste. Pros: Room is pretty Cons: Food oversalted, Small portions, Not such great taste more

Great for resteraunt week 7/3/2003

The food was excellent, the richness and flavor making the most of the portions. Impressive appetizers, entrees to perfection and desserts as impressive as they should be. The service was good, but not extraordinary, but meeting Kerry Heffernan more then made up for it. It was the first time in quite a while I have had a chef come out to solicit comments and the deed was most appreciated. more

Solid Dining Experience 7/2/2003

My wife and I checked this place out for Restaurant Week. Expectations were pretty high considering the quality of Danny Meyer's other restaurants. Although it is no Union Square Cafe (but what is?), food was excellent, decor fine, & service above average. I opted for the Restaurant Week menu, which was a good deal for $30.03. My wife opted for items off of their regular menu. My only complaint is that portions are pretty small...even for an ""haute cuisine"" type of restaurant such as this. However, it's not outrageously expensive, so I would almost opt for a Tapas-style approach to dining here the next time. Wait staff was surprisingly young, but we did go on a Mon. nite, so maybe it was ""training night."" Complimentary petits fours were a nice touch. Pros: Excellent Food Cons: Small Portions more
