    Tremendous meal. Segundo, our waiter, was professional and friendly. The ambience was perfect. We were greeted upon arrival so nicely w a friendly attentive welcome. The food was delicious and served hot.(not always the case, even at the finest restaurants). One if by land continues to be one of the most special places in NYC to celebrate important occasions.

    Our dining experience at Frevo was truly exceptional. Both the food and service were outstanding, and the wine pairing elevated the meal to another level. Every course was beautifully executed, showcasing both creativity and precision. If I were to offer one critique, I would suggest that the black truffle agnolotti—offered as an additional option at $55—be included in the overall price of the tasting experience, as it feels like a natural complement to the already expensive menu. (235$ per person) Additionally, we were mistakenly charged $70 for a sea urchin supplement in one of the courses, that we hadn’t requested. However, once we brought it to their attention, the staff handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and promptly removed it from the check. Overall, this was a memorable and refined dining experience, and Frevo remains one of my favorite Michelin-starred restaurants I have tried.

    Always a treat... food, ambiance and service were excellent. We were there for restaurant week and the only disappointment was that the steak did not come with anything. I can understand charging extra for sides, but at least put a bit of parsley or garnish on the plate.
