VITAE - New York

We stumbled on this piece of jewellery during a walk, saw the interesting menu and elegant decor and bays for dinner for four in the night. we were very impressed by eating and service. the menu included scallops in curry sauce and since I did not interested in scallops I asked if they could make halibut with the same preparation. they were happy to bring us and not disappoint the resulting court. our party also had a risotto and a cannelloni, plus a kale salat and biersalat. all were delicious. we tried three desserts chocolate flourless torte, cheesecake and strawberry rhubarb. on our tellers was no bite left. really delicious desserts. as it was birthday of our daughter, they have printed her a special birthday menu to go home and have packed chocolate chip cookies for us to eat the following day (some of them did not last long). very special note. we also loved the iron work pattern as a wall accent that was repeated in the custom carpet, and the beautifully illuminated weeping wall. overall we were thrilled that we found such a big little gem, a few blocks from our hotel in times square, which will stay on our Faves list.

I love this place absolutely. I'm out of town and I managed to eat here every time I'm back in manhattan. the price point is great, eating is amazing, the service is excellent; I am a picky scotch trinker and the bartender came to my table to answer my questions and make some fantastic recommendations! I'll be back soon!

Since it was our daughter's birthday, they printed her a special birthday menu to take home, and brought packaged chocolate chip cookies for us to eat the following day (some of which didn't last that long). Very special touch. We also loved the iron work pattern as a wall accent, which was repeated in the custom carpeting, and the beautifully lit wine wall.

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I'm not a local, but whenever I am in Manhattan, I make sure to dine here. The prices are affordable, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I am particular about my scotch, and the bartender took the time to come over to my table to answer my questions and suggest some fantastic choices. I will definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely by far the best food I’ve had! Service was excellent fast, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the chefs specialty 4-course dinner with wine pairings was phenomenal! I would definitely recommend this place!
