Le Pavillon Moments: In the Words of Our Guests
Gabrielle Palitz
Everything about dining at le Pavillon is special. The modern space is lovely, both grand and intimate. The service is impeccable. And the food is extraordinary. We typically choose the three-course menu. I love that there are SO many wonderful choices, and it is a great value.

This is a very approachable Michelin star restaurant in NY with a staff that patiently walks you through the options, but they also left us to linger for hours without feeling rushed. The food was at the highest level and we both found items that were among the top that we have ever had. The room is everything that people say it is and rather than looking more ordinary than the photos as is sometimes the case in NY - this was even more impressive in person.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I’ve never felt more comfortable at a restaurant so elevated and elegant. Truly impressive and warm.

Celebrated my bday in here and did the tasting menu + wine pairing. AMAZING! It was worth it :) Ciprian, our sommelier was super kind so were the rest of the staff! Don’t miss the drinks on the bar!

Hudson was a wonderful server, and the sommelier and staff were very timely and pleasant as well. thank you so much to Mr. Nacev, Ms. Ogata, and the rest of the kitchen team for such excellent food! While I loved everything I chose, I especially recommend the spaghetti with the caviar and seaweed. The accents of the latter two are a deliciously perfect touch to balance the rich and buttery pasta. Such lovely food and service! Wine pairings excellent as well!
