Kitchen Twenty Two

The food was great! Excellent combinations of flavors, and superbly presented, especially for $25 for 3 courses! The best value in the city. Service was acceptable, and we got in early enough not to have to wait (6:45). $7.50 martinis. $7 glass wine. Great value all around. more

Food is pretty good, but probably not worth the 2 hour wait on a friday night. Plus, drinks are really expensive so that when all is said and done, the $25 pre-fixe is not such a great deal. more

I love Aureole, but what happened to this restaurant? The food was bland and uninspiring. The tuna appetizer was one of the worst tuna dishes I've had at any restaurant. Why would one pair mashed potatoes with a sushi grade of tuna? The steak was undercooked and was not seasoned. The frites that accompanied the steak were severely undercooked. The desserts appeared to be a mishmash of god knows what. Only the chocolate pudding was halfway decent. Pay a little extra and do the $68 prix fixe at Aureole. more

I've been here twice and had great meals--by the way-it's a choice of five appetizers, mains, and desserts---I wish they took reservations though--and I agree with the other review that SOMEONE has to answer the phone! The food, though, is GREAT--fresh, and beautifully presented--I've had the halibut and steak, and the corn chowder was the best I've had all summer. The service should be better, but it's still the best deal in town.... Pros: value! Cons: no reservations more

Not only did the waiter mess up my order (Only 4 things to choose from) but they were SLLLLOOOOWWWW. I merely asked for the steak and they gave me the salmon?????? We sat down and didn't get served for an hour and a half. I would recommend saving 25 dollars and go ANYWHERE !!! Cons: Food, Service more

Excited to try a promising new local place , we called first to get a rough idea of what the wait was only to be greeted by an annoying message with absolutely NO WAY TO GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN, so we had to just take our chances. Upon arrival, the rather bitchy hostess told us that there would be a wait of about an hour (fine, but it would have been nice to ascertain this beforehand), but that they would be closing at 10:30 anyway so don't bother waiting. I commented that both the website and the phone message indicated that they were open from 5-11. The hostess condescendingly assured us that the website and phone message were wrong. We moved on to enjoy one of the many more reliable neighborhood eateries. High expectations shattered by poor management. Another dud of a restaurant in the making. Cons: don't answer phone, condescending staff, misrepresent hours more

The reviews here are a bit harsh on the staff...the restaurant just opened, after all. The food is well worth the money, 3 courses for $25, you can't really go wrong, and the portion sizes are decent...not ample, but decent. The beef carpaccio was lovely. Great place to go if you live in the neighborhood, not exactly something I'd make as a night out. Pros: inexpensive, great location more

You'd think that the wait would end once you actually get a table, but...NOT! It took forever to place our order...when my soup came, no one bothered to give me a spoon until i asked for it. It gets better...the waitress came to ask me how my NY Strip was, and I could not give her an answer b/c no one gave me a steak knife. (um, hello! This is NOT medieval times, you know). The table next to us had the EXACT same situation. For $25, you get a good amount of pretty decent food...no doubt about it. But the service REALLY sucks. more

We went there last night and absolutely loved it. The quick seared salmon appetizer was great. The Halibut was delicious and my apple tart was excellent. The servers were very friendly and helpful...plus we were understanding since it was their first ""official"" night open. Even though dinner is a great deal -- watch out for the bar -- the drinks will double your bill. Great! Pros: Inexpensive, Good Crowd Cons: No reservations more

The food was average, the service was worse. This is a new restaurant, but have the servers at least try the main dishes so they can offer a decent recommendation. Until they get their act together, I would not recommend this restaurant. You'd be better off making the same dishes at home. Pros: Tomato Salad Appetize, Inexpensive Cons: Service, Responsiveness more

Went there last night and was absolutely blown away with how incredible the food was. The seared tuna appetizer was definitely one of the best things I've ever had. And the $25 price fix for appetizer, entree and dessert is the best deal around. more
