I hosted a private holiday party at Amaranth and was thrilled with the entire event. They were very accommodating allowing us to customize the menu and handled our guests with allergies graciously. The food was delicious and all of our guests had a wonderful night. The service was friendly from the moment we booked our party and continued throughout the evening. Biljana was especially helpful as our point person helping us with our seating chart and table arrangements so that we arrived to a perfectly set up room. We would absolutely host another event there. We have also been for lunch and dinner many times and the food is always consistently good.

We had Thanksgiving dinner here yesterday, and while the service was excellent, the food was incredibly disappointing.
I ordered the salmon with asparagus and dill sauce. Unfortunately, the salmon was so dry and overcooked that I nearly choked on it. The “dill sauce” was nowhere to be found; instead, there was a puddle of what tasted like cheap bottled mayonnaise on top of the asparagus. I rarely send dishes back, but this one absolutely deserved to be returned—especially at this price point.
My son ordered the Wagyu burger, which arrived on a store-bought bun with sloppy lettuce and completely overcooked, dry meat, despite being ordered medium rare. For something advertised as Wagyu, it was truly underwhelming.
I honestly don’t understand where all the high ratings come from. Our food was low quality and poorly prepared, which is a shame because the ambiance itself is cozy and comfortable. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. At these prices, there are far better restaurants that actually deliver on what they charge for.
Can’t charge what you don’t deliver.

I ordered French onion soup for the starter and Branzino – Whole Mediterranean branzino for entree. The fish was fresh, tender and juicy. Luv it!
The dessert was pretty good and the service was excellent

Locals like this place for its convenience. The red lights and wreaths adds a tad of festivity.
SEATING IS RATHER SNUG SO BEWARE OF WHAT YOU SHARE.
THE risotto with crab and peas was so so. So so risotto is kind of sad. Even I could have stirred up a better concoction.
The cheeseburger is very good EXCEPT for the condiments they provide. Watery ketchup is a no no on such a tasty burger. Why skimp on quality condiments when the burger is made of quality beef. WHY RUIN IT!
Why not spend the extra bucks or make their own.
Now the pavlova. Great presentation but the meringue was tough. Does that mean the meringue was old? This time of year berries need a little sprucing up. A soaking in sugar water or maybe whip up a fruit puree with a smidgeon of sugar to give this some extra zip. Was it bad-no, was it so so -YES.
So if you are looking for a so so lunch then you found the place. Why as New Yorkers do we put up with so so, but maybe we are SO used to it.
The staff here is friendly and amiable.
Maybe, we come because of the staff.
Feliz Navidad, Prospero Año Nuevo.

It’s a cute restaurant with outdoor seating — they say it’s Mediterranean, but it gives more of a French vibe. We came during the in-between hours of brunch and lunch, and I couldn’t find much on the menu that appealed to me, so I just ordered soup. The service, though, was disappointing — it took about 10 minutes just to get water, then another wait for the menu, and even longer for someone to take my order. Because of the poor treatment, I honestly didn’t want to order anything at all. I only stayed and got the soup because we were already seated and I was hungry. Overall, just an average experienc

Steak tartare and bloody maries were excellent. Spicy, savory, slightly tart, with high quality meat and the correct level of seasoning.
Service was fast, friendly.
Also highly enjoyed the mussels.

Horrendous experience here. Male worker in a grey suit, presumably the manager was so incredibly rude. I sat down for a light lunch of French onion soup and he asked “is that all?” And I replied yes is that ok. He looked me up and down and said “usually not”. ???.
Why can’t I order a light lunch? Why must I spend 40$ on a main when I simply am I not that hungry? I reserve the right to be treated with respect for simply ordering a light lunch. I cancelled my order, got up and left.
I cannot believe his attitude. He was outright rude and for what? Ordering a light midday French onion soup? Avoid the place. This man is a nasty piece of work.
