Reviews L'appart

Dining at L’Appart was amazing. It felt like such a personal experience, as if someone had welcomed you into their home and cooked you a fantastic, unforgettable meal. The decor was beautiful, the chef introductions were a great extra touch, and the staff really went out of their way to make my husbands birthday memorable. Truly recommend. Thanks to all the team!

The food, the staff, the flavours and the art all work together for a truely spacial experience. Thank for making our evening so special and becoming a part of our life long memories. The photos don't do justice to the food.

Absolutely amazing! If I won the lottery, I would make it my apartment and ask Chef Nico to cook for me every day!

Everything is perfect.....Foods, Services, Wine pairing....The only disruptive factor was the jet lag, but that does not overshadow the excellent experience.

We decided to celebrate a special occasion at L'Appart while on our way to Greece. We chose this restaurant based off of the criteria of a location within walking distance of our hotel for the night as well as being a Michelin Star. When booking we noted that one of the guests was a pescatarian. We also left a note via email and when someone contacted us through text we also told them of the dietary restriction. Furthermore we called and left a voicemail because none of the other avenues seemed to be getting any reply back. We arrived very early to find the location and walk around the area. One must walk past all of the gorgeous harbor views around the district and indoors to a large set of side doors leading into a bar like area that appears abandoned. We dined on a Saturday night on the 27 May so you might expect things to be buzzing in NYC. Walking forward past this odd area one can see a hallway that is lined with bookshelves hoisting pantry staples. On the left, you find the door to the restaurant. Walk further and you enter a food court like corridor. I think we were expecting a more warm and comfortable pathway to what is presented as an apartment-like restaurant experience. Nevertheless, we entered. We received a sort of odd look when entering and that was a bit uncomfortable after the less than favorable transition into the establishment. We were asked if we had reservations and we were seated once we confirmed. To state that there was an odd palatable uncomfortable energy would be an understatement. Yet, we laughed it off and were ready for an experience. When we received an amuse-bouche, the server presented it as a welcome bite, as if we wouldn't understand the terminology. Immediately I asked if there was meat on the dish because I could see that there was and the service fumbled a bit. I kindly told them we made explicit requests for a pescatarian meal of one of the guests and they removed the dish. Calmly but eagerly the server approached the pass and whispered the mistake to the chef. Then without sort of apologizing but also sort of apologizing they tried to brush off the mistake and present the dish again. Very awkward and not the type of service one would expect from a meal that was $350+ a person and Michelin Star. Once the courses started to come out I wanted to know more about some of the components. As someone who has worked in professional kitchens for 9 years, I am intrigued by my craft. This is where the night personally got ruined for me. I asked playfully about how the chefs composed a potato component and the server suggested that I state what I thought they did. I explained and I could see him sort of pause. Pause both by the actually culinary equipment names that I knew and by how close I was to understanding the technique. He then allowed us to enjoy the course and went back to the pass to mock me. Let me remind you that this place is very small. We were 2 out of 6 people dining at the time and close to the kitchen so we can hear the conversation. They laughed about it and even mentioned the movie "The Menu". Disgraceful. To talk more about the food- we did enjoy most of the courses but there was some major downfalls. The amuse-bouche came with three components, one of which was a rehydrated and puffed pasta that was so chewie that it should never have been served. Trial or not. Maybe the humidity affected it or maybe the oil was too low when frying, either way it was a bumpy start to welcome guests. Along the path of the other courses there was a vast amount of salt used, primarily in the scallop dish. The Sunny Ridge cheese course was not a favorable cheese and we both felt it was a bit of a harsh transition. On the other hand, the veal tartar or my tuna tartar course was likely our favorite. The olive oil used was exceptional and we appreciated the freshness of the dish overall. I do wish the white asparagus course was substituted with truffle or something else since my companion had foie gras.

Phenomenal from start to finish. It has been almost 2 months since my visit and I still daydream about some of the dishes we had at L’Appart (the ramps gnocchi will go down as one of my lifetime favorite dishes). I eagerly wait for the new menu to be posted every month and can’t wait for an excuse to return! Perfect for a date night, special occasion, or just to treat yourself! Impeccable service and great wine!

Amazing dining experience! I always go there for our special occasion (anniversary, birthday, etc). Intimate ambiance and service is great. I enjoy that their menu changes every month with seasonal ingredients. I highly recommend this place.

Great service. Very very small and intimate. Maybe 8 tables at most for no more than say 20-30 people total in the restaurant. It really does feel like you’re in someone’s apartment.

Absolutely wonderful service and food. Chase, our server and master drink maker, provided perfect service. The chef came to our table and was eager for feedback. Overall, one of the best meals and evenings I have ever had. If you are in NYC and looking for an exceptional evening, L’Appart is the place to go.

Foods are always delicious with excellent service. Love the vibes. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our cousin's birthday here over dinner. The tasting menu was delicious and some of the best food we've ever eaten. We also did the wine pairing and the selection was perfect. One of our party ordered cocktails which were also, par for the course, delicious. The entire team was so hospitable and pleasant and it made for an exceptionally enjoyable experience!
