Exquisite experience

by kelly1971 at Citysearch

From the moment you step into 508 you feel welcome. The ambiance allows you to relax and enjoy the décor. The owners gracefully glide through the restaurant, offering personal attention to everyone with out being pushy. And Fredrick Hill has extensive knowledge on the collection of wines available, pairing them perfectly with the food.

There is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere throughout, even in the kitchen! Not too crowded and not too loud even for romantic dates. The food is surprisingly well priced and the taste and presentation is a testament to the chef’s love of creating perfection!

• Pros: A wonderful collection of fine wines and a delectable food m

Great Time Great Food

Me and my GF had a great time at this place. I was going back for a great night in the city after a little time off. Did not expect to get a table and did expect to wait an hour for a seat on a Sat evening without a Res.

They went out of their way to get us a seat. Both of us really enjoyed the food a lot, one of the best meals I have had in a long time but I am not a Manhattan foodie. A real unique taste to the food and a good job by the chef who you can clearly see and taste takes pride in his/her work.

The bartender was awesome and brought a true sense of what it means to be living and loving NYC and that is really what I loved about the entire experience. Maybe a bit off the lower Manhattan path for some but well worth the venture.

• Pros: Great Staff And Really Good Food
• Cons: Realy None

a nice evening

Our server (Grant?) was great and the food was very good. The croquettes and octopus were awesome, though the fettuccini with meatballs I wouldn't order again, it was average. The hostess though took a long time to seat us, despite the fact that it was early and the place was not nearly full. She was a bit offputting.

• Pros: food, wait staff
• Cons: hostess
