    We love coming here, I just don’t think Prixe Fix dinners are their forte. The hostess was extremely rude and impatient to start, the food was bland and unseasoned, the portion sizes were tiny, and the wine pairing was completely over priced for what we received. I’m so disappointed in having spent our Thanksgiving there because the ambiance is absolutely perfect for the occasion. There were other options for Thanksgiving at half the price but we chose to come to OIBL TIBS because we have had such great food there in the past. So sad.

    We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at OIFLTIBS. My 91 year old mother has lived around the corner for 64 years and we’ve been to the restaurant off and on for special occasions over the last 40 years. The food was delicious and the service was fabulous from Hosts at door to our great Server Fernando to the table buss people. All so nice and very attentive. It’s a beautiful restaurant and felt very festive and special. Thank you so much.

    It was an ideal milieu for our Thanksgiving meal. The environment was sophisticated; beautiful decor, but yet relaxing. The camaraderie around the tables/staff was noticeable.

    One If By Land is one of the most beautiful restaurants in New York, with the most exceptional service and ambience. The ambience feels special (and cozy) with subtle lighting, fresh flowers everywhere, as well as twinkling white lights and candles, and views of the garden patio. One member of our party was delayed in their arrival, and the restaurant graciously waited before beginning service, and never pressured us about the unexpected delay. The timing of every aspect of the entire evening was impeccable, with servers patiently waiting an appropriate amount of time at every stage of ordering and serving. The food was delicious with every course was prepared beautifully. We had the Beef Wellington, Rib Eye, and Halibut. For dessert, we all enjoyed chocolate soufflés and the waiters brought an extra plate of bite sized treats for a birthday we were celebrating. It was an evening we will never forget and we will undoubtedly return to One If By Land for special occasions, if we are lucky enough to secure a reservation!

    Waited 30 minutes for our table even with a reservation. Food was definitely not worth the price. Was not told that water would be charged and when asked if we wanted a refill, it was another $20 to the exorbitant price.
