Deliciously fresh and flavorful, worth the price while dining in a handsome space and the waiter, James, was kind, welcoming and very helpful with the menu. Definitely returning before a matinee performance and for dinner.

Wonderful experience. Went for an anniversary dinner. The atmosphere was warm, intimate with a clean concept. The servers are very knowledgeable on the menu and ingredients. The cocktails were great as well. The menu itself has great options for different dietary preferences. Its a coursed sit down format. Overall experience was amazing. Highly recommend

We had an amazing experience at Le Pavillon NYC. The restaurant feels like a magical place with indoor gardens and lots of light. The bar area is impressive with high ceilings and an impressive chandelier. Our waiter was very attentive and explained everything in the menu with so much detail. We chose the 3 course dinner menu, and it was incredibly tasty. I would definitely recommend the scallops, the spaghetti Carabinero, their signature chocolate mousse is to die for. I would highly recommend this place for their attention to detail and incredible menu, and so would definitely go back to this restaurant.

I’ve visited Le Pavillon twice — once in October to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and again recently with a close friend — and I can say with complete confidence that this is one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. From the very entrance, everything feels special. You are welcomed by warm, gracious hostesses who treat you with genuine respect. The building is absolutely beautiful — serene, immaculate, and thoughtfully designed. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and deeply comforting, as if you’ve stepped into a different world. The service is exceptional. The servers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. Every dish is presented with care, explained in detail, and delivered in a way that makes you feel fully immersed in the experience. The presentation, storytelling, and timing are flawless — it feels personal, intentional, and deeply respectful to the guest. Every dish we tried was executed with remarkable precision. The flavors were layered, thoughtful, and deeply balanced — never overpowering, never flat. From the starters to the desserts, everything felt intentional and refined, with textures and temperatures working in perfect harmony. I’ll be adding photos to this review — and while everything looks stunning visually, what truly sets this place apart is that the taste exceeds the presentation. The visuals are only the beginning. Honestly, for the level of craftsmanship, service, and emotional impact this restaurant delivers, they could charge five times more and it would still feel justified. Dining here feels like being part of something rare and special — not in an exclusive or pretentious way, but in a way that makes you feel incredibly lucky to be there. Another detail that really stood out to me: unlike many places that automatically add gratuity to the check without even asking — something I personally find unacceptable — Le Pavillon does not do this. They know their worth, they respect their guests, and they trust that exceptional service will naturally be rewarded. And it absolutely is. This is not just a restaurant. It’s an experience, a memory, and a feeling I will carry with me for a very long time. I left feeling inspired, grateful, and genuinely happy. I can’t wait to return.
