Terrible Service. Wouldn't Go Back.

by ewilson215

Food was ok, but there are so many options in NYC, spend your money somewhere that will treat you with respect.

I made a reservation for a large party weeks in advance. After talking to restaurant staff several times prior to arrival, including 4 hours beforehand, I showed up and almost everything I’d confirmed had changed. The MAJOR changes were, the private room I’d been guaranteed was suddenly unavailable and the corkage fee increased from $15/bottle to $20 - $30/bottle. The Manager confirmed that his staff had given me the wrong information, but was unapologetic and refused to honor what was said to me. The private room went to someone willing to pay more money than me. My feeling is that they only told me what they needed to get me there.

UPDATE: I was sent a $25 gift certificate in the amount I was overcharged. I think a refund would have been more appropriate or an amount that would cover the cost of a meal. I’m not going to spend any more of my money here.

food is good ;amazing wine selection for conosuiers

by kimscott516

cuisine was refined and well cultured, the chicken was seasoned vibrantly, but slightly dry from being overcooked. however, me being a somewhat of a wine critic in my personal life, have to say that the selection was one of the most comprehensive menus that ive ever experienced from an extensive array of all varieties to quench the pallat of the thirstiest gourmet!

Stay Away

by PanchoD

Honestly its not a bad looking place, but behind it all the food does not speak for itself... Mediocre at best and thats being generous... Im not for bashing restaurants but this place is not what it appears to be.. For starters i ordered a Grey Goose on the rocks and it was NOT Grey Goose.. secondly, I ordered the special fish of the day and it smelled like it had been sitting around all day.. Disgusting.. People were nice but I think it was to make up for the quality in food and drinks they were pawning off.. Do not recommend this place.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!

by ladynrg

Last week my husband & I had the pleasure of dining in the private Wine Room for 2 at Philip Marie. Our custom tailored 5 course menu was exactly what we were looking for at an unbelievable price. Not only was each item we enjoyed cooked to absolute perfection, but our server provided us with the most attentive service we have received in New York City in a very long time. By far, the pork chop was the most delicious I have ever had before in my life. My husband opted for the sizzling lobster, which smelled and tasted of aromas as divine as its presentation. The chef selected wines that were paired with each of our courses, far surpassed any expectation of a "by the glass" wine. Kudos Philip Marie for your unmatched wine selection!! If you are looking for an intimate experience, great food & friendly service this West Village find is undoubtedly the place to be!!

Best restaurant in the West Village

by CitySlicker84

I had heard about this restaurant in the West Village from friends. Everyone had good things to say so I decided to take my date here. I couldnt have asked for more. The service was on point, the food was fantastic, and the portions were awesome. For being so reasonably priced, I was surprised at the beautiful plates being put in front of us.

Try the roasted beet appetizer with the goat cheese dressing...so creative and delicious. The best part is this wonderful retaurant is in the best neighborhood in NYC...the West Village!

Since then this has been my go-to restaurant in NYC and especially the village. I have sent multiple friends there everyone has been very pleased. Thanks Philip Marie!
