Best

Love the food and the romatic atmosphere. Excellent place !!

Worst

The food is rich but not outstanding. The menu is somewhat dated. The winelist is outrageously expensive. And if you aren't getting engaged here you are out of place. OIBLTIBS...

Great night/but expensive 8/20/2002

My wife and I recently were in NY and dined at One if by Land. The appetizer was incredible, the desert second to none (I am still dreaming about it) but my main course of lamb was not that great. The waiter was incredible and the atmosphere was everything people say it is-great. more

Everything She expected 8/11/2002

From beautiful roses, twinkle candlelight to attentive hostess, it's everything one would expect on a romantic dinner, and more. If that doesn't melt her heart, I don't know what will :-) Frankly, the food is not on our mind, and probably not the most distinctive in NYC. Tips for first timer: Reserve your table a week ahead of time. $75 chef menu and $55 prix-fix per person is hardly expensive. Pay for parking if you drive, or else $110 ticket. Pros: Romantic, Romantic, What else, Romantic! more

Sooo gorgreous 8/11/2002

One if by Land has absolutely wonderful ambience, especially during the cooler months when the fireplaces are blazing. My fiancee brought me here for my birthday the first year we dated and we have been back for several special occasions since. So romantic, and the food is very well executed. It's not the best food in the city, but the overall experience makes it worth a visit. Pros: Amazing setting Cons: Reserve early more

What a Place! 8/9/2002

I love this place - a well-kept secret for many many years. I got engaged here and have celebrated almost every anniversary here. The staff is always polite and accommodating, the food has gotten better and better each time we come, and the ambience can't be beat in New York. Simple, old-world charm. I love the piano playing and the candles - the whole thing is just so special. For anyone who wants a special treat - go there! Or if you wnat great food in an extraordinary place - go! Pros: Decor, Staff, Food more
