What People Are Saying About Savoy Restaurant

The two-story restaurant feels like a cleanly designed but comfortable home, with fireplaces in every room, whimsical touches here and there, and a general air of accommodation and comfort. Service is marked by the same welcoming, competent style, with effortless and unobtrusive skill. The frequently changing menu brilliantly highlights what's in season. Perfectly composed dishes, like crispy pork belly confit, pan roasted wild striped bass, and maple glazed duck, are innovative and worthy showcases for the exquisite ingredients. Desserts, including housemade ice creams, are also exceptional: A spiced pumpkin creme brulee is made in the dining room's fireplace.

My boyfriend made reservations at Savoy ion Saturday night n hopes of a nice dinner. The best part of our experience was getting seated and being given menus promptly upon arrival. After that, we waited, and waited, and watied almost 30 minutes for even a glance from our waitress before deciding to leave, at which point our she actually asked us if there was a problem. Amazingly enough, she was oblivious that a 30-minute wait was unacceptable. On our way out, we asked to see the manager, were told he would be right down and--you ugess it--waited again for about 5 minutes before we'd had it. DO NO GO TO SAVOY!

So I had reservations at Gotham Bar & Grill for Valentine's Day, but balked in the end because of the high price for the prix fixe. I chose Savoy based on internet recommendations and reviews, although I had never been to the restaurant before. Before I go into the experience, please understand that I have been to a fair amount of NYC restaurants and consider myself well versed in the NYC scene. I made a 6pm reservation a month prior, which I was told was the only one available. When my girlfriend and I got there, the place was 40% full until about 7pm. There was no music to fill the scene, the place was small and the ambiance was disappointing. The food was decent, but nothing to even write up about. Portions were small and although cooked well, I will not remember what I had in two weeks from now. Service was ok, our glasses and silverware were dirty, and the tables and chairs were dinky. When we first arrived there were about 15 minutes where I wanted to get up and leave and try my luck somewhere else without a reservation. For a $300 meal (which was honestly worth about $100) I could have gone to many of the finer establishments in NYC. Please do not let their self-recommendations on the internet fool you. This is a below-par restaurant putting up a false facade. Save your money for somewhere worth remembering. I feel like I was duped and am very, very disappointed.

My #1 place to celebrate a fancy event - I've been here for graduation and for anniversaries (yes, that's plural because this place is soooo good that I will go as often as possible). It is pricey, no question but for a special event it is perfect - small and romantic, it feels like a real high end culinary experience. Love the duck in particular.
