I had such a great evening at Ai Fiori. Octopus was great, duck was great(Especially with medium-well/well cooked) and deserts were amazing. But the very best part was the service. It’s 15/10. I haven’t seen this great service in nyc since/after the Covid. All of staffs were very friendly and nice, they were on the top of everything and our main staff, Ishmael, made our night. Very thorough, considerate and just great. I’m definitely coming back!

It was below average for a One Michelin Star restaurant. The ambiance was loud, and we could not carry on a conversation at our table of six. The waiter was super busy, and we had to catch his attention multiple times. Food was mediocre for an NYC high-end restaurant; we did the seven-course tasting menu. Nothing was outstanding in the taste department. Wine pairing and cocktails were good. I’m not a food critic, but I’ve been to several Michelin Star restaurants in the past six months.

Ai Fiori May have ruined steaks for me. It was really that good. Best steak I’ve had in my life paired with probably the best service I’ve had. Was an amazing experience all around - highly recommend checking them out. Filet Mignon and the chocolate mousse are a MUST.

I wish I could rate this restaurant a lot higher as I believe that it could definitely amount to more. I had a recent visit to the restaurant with a friend who has a allergy to eggs and peanuts. I notified the restaurant of the food allergy via message on the reservation page, I visited the restaurant hours prior to my scheduled reservation and informed the hostess present at the time that I would have a guest with food allergies and that there would need to be special accommodations made for her. I then had to notify the waitstaff who served us of her allergies. What I gathered from this experience is that no one really cared about my request for the staff to be aware of this allergy which could potentially lead my friend to end up in the ER...I'd say that is quite unacceptable for a restaurant like Ai Fiori with its reputation for excellence. The whole ordeal wasn't too much of a big deal for my friend who downplayed everything but when we were assured that everything being served that evening would not contain anything with eggs or peanuts...out came the steak tartare dish from the chefs tasting menu, one bite and my friend had a adverse reaction...we ultimately treaded carefully throughout the subsequent courses. I am not doubting the quality of the food as everything was very beautiful and presented in such a great manner but the attention to detail with the restaurant and the staff that night was lacking. I also had a request with the hostess to surprise my friend for her belated birthday with a special dessert, which never came out. All in all I'd say if you are not a celebrity or a regular here, they do not go out of the way to take care of you. I will have to think real hard if I were to ever want to return to this establishment.

Everything here was next level amazing. Our server was extremely helpful and helped us choose the 4 course prix fixe over the chef's tasting menu since we got to select our own dishes and try twice as many things by sharing. The wine pairing were perfect and even unexpected sometimes. I feel like it has ruined me for all other food because it was just that good.

One of the best fine dinning experiences I’ve had & truly deserving of a Michelin star. It was for a date night. The food was spectacular & we tried a variety. Drinks were amazing. For cocktails- give the Bungalow a try. & definitely try the Porte at the end. Service & ambience was awesome. We drive but we ubered here- makes for a better hassle free experience. It’s in a hotel setting but you wouldn’t notice. Pictures are worth a thousands words. But these foods & deserts are worth a try. You will not be disappointed. Butter amazing, caviar was the best, the black squid infused pasta was soo savory, the scallops & lobster pasta were all very tasty. The expresso infused ice cream & the pistachio ice cream were among my favorite deserts. Enjoy!

We celebrated valentines dinner here last night and had an amazing time. We chose the valentines special 7 course and were pleasantly delighted dish after dish. Everyone was super attentive and kind. Great space, atmosphere and service.

Me and my wife went to Ai Fiori for our anniversary. They printed a special menu for us.
We chose Prix Fixe + Wine pairing. All wines chosen by the sommelier were a perfect match with the menu we selected. Foods are authentic and traditional but with very creative twists--they feel comforting but at the same time very much new.
Food, wine, service, the atmosphere, decorations, lighting--everything is in a perfect harmony.
Definitely visiting there again. And I absolutely recommend this place for any special occasion.

I haven’t had a meal this good in a long time!

After having a couple of recent bad experiences at other fine dining establishments (with prix fixes 2-3xs the price of Ai Fiori), I got a last minute reservation here and was really blown away by the quality of the food and the friendly and top-notch service. We were pleasantly delighted dish after dish, and were made to feel super comfortable and attended to by the wait staff. Highly recommend!!

I celebrated my birthday at Ai Fiori and we had an amazing time there. I highly recommend the 4 course tasting menu which you can pick one choice from each category. I am not a food critic but if I were they definitely deserve the Michelin star. Everything we ordered was beyond delicious. Photos do not do them justice. You just got to go and try. The service is 10/10. Very attentive.

FYI, as weird as it sounds, the bread that came with our dinner was probably the best bread I’ve ever tasted.
