    There are very few places in NYC that are still elegant and yet exciting to go to. The food was delicious and healthy, and the service was excellent. My martini was one of the best ever. The room was magnificent filled with stunning flowers. You just do not see many restaurants that are willing to invest in creating such a beautiful atmosphere. I loved it!

    Sandro’s was a delightful dinner experience for me and my family. We were met with such patience and accommodations for our dietary restrictions and preferences, and I value that when going to a restaurant. Our waiter Gabriel was very considerate and attentive, and I loved the decor & plates used! I’ll absolutely come back.

    We invited our friends who had never been to Hutong before. We were six, seated at a u-shaped table the hostess suggested would be comfortable, and it was. We ordered appetizers, that were excellent, the duck, and the delicious dessert assortment, which was brought in a beautiful presentation. All of our guests raved about the experience. Bakir, one of our servers, is just excellent, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a great time!
