An unforgettable dining experience at Le Pavillon. From the moment we arrived, every detail was executed flawlessly. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, the staff was incredibly attentive and gracious. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted. The service truly elevated the experience. One detail we especially appreciated was the pace of the evening. We never felt rushed, allowing us to truly enjoy each course, conversation, and moment. I celebrated a milestone birthday here, and the team made the entire evening feel special and seamless. It was the perfect setting for such an important celebration. A truly remarkable restaurant that delivers not only amazing cuisine but an unforgettable experience.

Climb the stairs to the upper level and enjoy one of the most beautiful dining spaces in NYC. My daughter and I enjoy dining at Le Pavillon most times that I am in town. It is always outstanding. The service is professional and unassuming, never over-the-top, or aloof. The cocktails are some of the best you'll get in the city. There hasn't been a dish we've been served that we haven't enjoyed. Standouts are always the seasonal soup as the first course and the lobster or sole preparation as the main, but you won't go wrong with any of the meat options either. This time, I enjoyed the trio of salmon as my starter and it was so fresh and bright. Desserts are also fun and delicious.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Le Pavillon. We chose the prix fixe menu, and every course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is elegant and stunning, creating a truly special atmosphere. Our server was exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the evening. I only wish I had remembered his name so I could thank him personally. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return the next time we’re in New York. Highly recommended!

Incredible restaurant in the heart of NYC. We visited to celebrate a graduation. In terms of fine dining this is a new favorite. I'd recommend the seared scallops or the duck breast!

These 5 stars are solely because of the Front of House team. Thank you Harold for noticing and going above and beyond to turn around my experience. It is because of the incredible hospitality from yourself, Andy and your team that I left feeling so grateful. I know this isn't much but hope the right people see this and you get the raise you deserve! Thanks again!

Fantastic food. Chef has a Michelin star and you can tell he needs another one. Had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Will go again. Both times it has been heavenly. People are very nice and atmosphere very beautiful.

I appreciate having the option of a three course menu vs. a full tasting menu. When the mesuare of how good the food will be it's the butther from Normandy at the beginning of the meal, you know you are in for a treat!
