We celebrated birthday here. Great food and wine selection. Service was great too. We had grilled octopus along with tomahawk steak to share between 3. My son had steak and fries which he loved too. Deserts were great too. Highly recommend.

Juan was very knowledgeable. Best burrata I’ve ever had. Steak Frites are to die for. Pineapple Upside down cake not to be missed. Great Jazz band called BC Jazz Now played lovely atmospheric music that added to the dining.

Our new favorite spot… not just in midtown, but one the island of Manhattan. Their Happy hour is a happy hour that’s actually worth it. Phenomenal cocktails until 6:30pm during the weekday and each one dripping with quality. I’ve never had a better cocktail at a $13 pricetag and I’ve had them coast to coast in some of the finest restaurants, including french restaurants like Le Diplomat in DC and Parq in Philly. Caesar was kind, quick, and eager to serve us during our special celebration. We so appreciated him. Saqueo and Helder were incredible servers as well and treated the table like we were at a 5 star steakhouse. I dropped a steak knife and before I could blinked it was picked up and replaced. Our hostess was also so kind, patient, and connected with our 2 YO daughter. Everything we ate from sushi, to the duck was absolutely top notch quality and presentation. The $11 happy hour escargot was the best I’ve ever had with a quality of snail that takes on flavor as it should, tender, savory. And the ambiance is truly breathtaking from the moment you enter with the curved staircase to the top floor with the incredible brick and wood covered walls. And I assure you they did not pay me to write this review but I will give another huge recommendation as they are part of the in kind app and you qualify for 20% cash back on your purchase as well as qualify for special discounts. We will be back anytime we visit because they truly set a great standard for a date night in any city.

First and foremost, the best thing about this place is the service. From the moment you come in, they really take care of you. They are amazing and professional! I had the pleasure of being served by Andres, whom I found out afterwards was only in his first day! He was really amazing and is someone with a good and respectful attitude! The food: the food was exquisite. I started off with the French Onion Soup which was super cozy and delicious. The ribeye steak was to die for! The meat was cooked to my liking and was super juicy. I also had The Consulate Pesto which was very green-y and indulging. And finally, capping everything with a Nutella Tiramisu which was a perfect way to end the night! Everything was perfect! Glad I’ve booked this as a Resy Global Dining Member!

I had such a lovely experience here. I came in with my three-month-old puppy in a small carrier, and the staff handled everything with perfect balance — polite, calm, and professional. They didn’t make a big scene about my dog, but they also didn’t make us feel unwelcome. It felt respectful and natural.
I truly appreciated that no unnecessary attention was drawn to my puppy. I understand the importance of boundaries and proper behavior in public spaces, and I simply wanted to enjoy a quiet meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, the people were kind, and my puppy didn’t disturb anyone at all.
The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe was warm and inviting, and the whole experience felt effortless and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Juan was a great server, always keeping my water and wine glass full. The bone marrow stole the show, fantastic in every way, followed closely by the French onion soup- with deep umami. The octopus and maitake were also excellent matched with a perfect drinking St. Emilion. Great service, great food, great wine.

We decided go to The Consulate for lunch before going on a walking tour a few blocks away. I’ve always wanted to try a Croque Madame and The Consulate dit not disappoint! The egg was cooked perfectly, the béchamel sauce was smooth and very tasty, the brioche was buttery and crisp around the edges, the ham front and center/very good and the side salad was dressed just right! I also ordered the French Onion Soup and can honestly say it was the best that I’ve had from any restaurant EVER. The service from the time we entered the restaurant to leaving was outstanding. The servers were patient, knew the menu top to bottom and were very attentive. The atmpsphere from the lighting to music gave the place a chill vibe and the whole experience was relaxing. A wonderful way to begin our pre-Thanksgiving vacation venture. I highly recommend The Consulate for a great meal. It’s worth the calories, so make sure you have room to savor the experience!

We had an amazing time at the Consulate!! We came to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday and we had the best time! The staff was so attentive and helpful and offered us complimentary champagne for the occasion. We ordered the escargot and oysters to start and they were phenomenal. My husband ordered the short rib cavatelli and I ordered the mushroom gnocchi for dinner. Both were exceptional. We didn’t leave any left over! For dessert we ordered the special (I unfortunately don’t remember the name) but it was delicious. It was similar to a large meringue cookie with cream and fruit. They also surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for my birthday. We can’t recommend this restaurant enough!! They are fantastic!

Yes! Finally, I had a chance to enjoy a proper, generous bone marrow – absolutely delicious!
I also tried the ceviche, which was wonderfully fresh and flavorful.
I really love the ambience at The Consulate – it feels like stepping back in time into a stylish NYC bistro. The beautiful floor tiles, warm yellowish lighting, and overall vibe make it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet elegant afternoon dinner.
A big compliment to the service team as well – attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!
