Based largely on the Citysearch reviews my wife and I went with another couple last weekend. Dollar for dollar, Falai ranks among the best we have had, and exceeds many that are priced significantly higher. The service is wonderfully attentive without ever being overbearing. Dinner is delightfully punctuated with a plentiful breadbasket of multiple excellent breads that keeps coming as long as you want, and an amuse bouche, in our case carrot soup laced with ginger, that was delicious. We loved every appetizer and entree and the desserts were divine. Special favorites were the black ink pasta, served perfectly al dente in the shape of fish and filled with an incredible puree of roasted scallops, ricotta and asparagus. The polenta with chicken livers was the best of either item that we have ever had. Don't even think about missing the profiteroles! Thank you, Chef Falai, for an extraordinary NY original!
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience
