What People Are Saying About 44 Restaurant-The Royal Htl

The Scene – At the end of the Royalton's long, visually captivating lobby is 44. The hotel's peak of chic has past; though it retains its fine accoutrements and Philippe Starck-designed quirks, there's a feeling of faded glory throughout. The service can vary widely, from at-your-elbow to nowhere-in-sight. – – The Food – The menu is filled with luxury ingredients--foie gras, lobster, truffles--some in unlikely contexts. Even a simple salmon steak gets a champagne mousse. Beautifully executed standouts include the warm lobster salad with potatoes, truffles and pancetta,…

Love This Place

by Rob18

The first time I went here was before seeing Hot Feet, and I loved it. The service was amazing and the staff was so polite. The only thing is that they took a long time to bring our food and by the time they brought it out my friends and family were all ready to go to the show so we allowed the food to come out the kitchen to at least see how presentation, and then we had the food sent back in to the kitchen to be packaged up. And because they knew they took a long time to prepapre the food and that we would not be able to bring the food intol the theatre they were kind enough to hold onto our food. And ever since that night I have been there ever since. My fav is something with scallops, and green lobster mashed potatoes (I think its lobster), and my fav app. is their crabcakes, they are so good, which I would suggest ordering at least two for yourself because you'll probably end up sharing.

  • Pros: Food, Location, Seating, Ambience
  • Cons: Time you have to wait for food, I definately suggest ordering app.

newly redone beautiful interior, service still a bit shaky...

by felicitasnyc

My girlfriends took me for my birthday and we had a great time. The interior has been redone and is now ready for the 90s, updated and understaed with incredible attention to details. the lighting is elegant and the mood is great,less flashy.

Our waitor was very nice but maybe not quite appropriate for an upscale restaurant. We almost felt bad for him, he would have been better off in a burger joint. We had ordered a bottle of campagne and when ready to top off all our glasses he pured a full glass to only one of us and then declaed "oops bottle is empty" loudly. When presented with the bill my friends split it and invited me. He returned with the 3 seperate checks and then loudly stated that we were given a 20% discount because of the restaurant being so new and that this had brought the total from $ 417 to $330. Too much information.Other than that we were very pleased. The food was great, we did not have to wait and were given a nice booth. Dessert came hitw candle and my name correctly spelled in chocolate letters. Agreat experience simnce we are all pretty easy going and not overly picky.

  • Pros: beautiful ambiance , great design, food is fabulous
  • Cons: service was a bit shaky but it was also right after re openend...
