We traveled from St. Louis for a romantic dinner at One If By Land, Two If By Sea, and it truly exceeded our expectations! We opted for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing, and every course was nothing short of phenomenal. Having experienced many fine dining tasting menus before, we can confidently say this was one of the best meals we've ever experienced — start to finish. Each dish was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, and the portions were impressively generous. Our server, Sasha, provided exceptional service, attending to our needs throughout the evening. The restaurant’s ambiance was perfectly romantic, creating the ideal setting for our special night. We wholeheartedly recommend One If By Land, Two If By Sea to anyone seeking an unforgettable evening out!

The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.
