No Complaints - loved it

by abraz at Citysearch

I had the crispy beef, prawns, lettuce wraps, veggie dumplings, sea bass (best I have ever had, period), red velvet cake, sorbets (no sugar added) -- drank two Phillipini's (delicious)! Prices are not cheap, but for the extra few bucks it is worth it - in fact, for the scene alone it is worth it - get ready for some serious people-watching - most of all though, the staff was very genuine and welcoming (didn't expect that) . I will be thinking about last night's dinner for a long time - very memorable - we even got to meet Chef Phillipe Chow himself - he made the rounds and greeted the guests...

• Pros: food, scene, staff

THE BEST FOOD

by shan69 at Citysearch

By far the best CHINESE food ever created. Forget the dog food take out places. Sorry, no pun intended. They truly bring real chinese food to the menu. The squab wraps, filet mignon, velvet chicken, OMG. The food is insanely delicious,. Please do not listen to any bad reviews. Try this place for yourself, you will be happy you did. They have thee best shrimp dishes in the world and the lobster is so fresh it melts in your mouth. thanks Phillipe for making my food the best i ever eaten in my entire 43 years living

BY FAR THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER TASTED. I've been to France, Italy, Carribean, California, Greece, and many more. Please take the op to try it you'll love it. The neighborhood, is so cool, with clubs nearby, shopping its on 58th between park and madison.

• Pros: everything, drinks to food to atmosphere
• Cons: clumsy service, once in a while a few extrra loud forks or silverware fall. but busy store busy people

Delicious and chic

This is a great spot, and the food was amazing. A few friends and I ate dinner here a few nights ago, and were highly impressed. The signature drinks were very good. We started with the house salad, which was super fresh and had an amazing vinagrette dressing. I also tried the wonton soup, and was plesantly surprised at how such a simple dish could be so delicious! I have never had a better soup anywhere! They serve the main dishes family style, so my friends and I were able to taste a number of things. My personal favorites where the sea bass, chicken jo lau, and the filet... amazing. Our waiter was so sweet and very attentive to everything... explaining the menu and the dishes perfectly. Overall, we were all very happy, and will definitely be returning soon.

• Pros: specialty cocktails, family style dishes to share, filet and sea bass!

Horrible food and service.

by AfterDarkNYC at Citysearch

Since I've always had a great time at the bar I thought it would be a good idea to have a full dinner. BAD mistake. The lobster sushi was a joke. It was tiny bits of dry rubbery lobster wrapped in thick donut like dough. Gross. And whatever else we ordered was sub par and uneventful. Stay away from the dinning room and stick to the bar scene.

• Pros:  bar scene
• Cons: food and service

This place has gotten worse and worse !

by Kesuan10 at Citysearch

Had a very disappointing meal at Philippe last night. Food was not fresh and service was poor. They didn't clean the table before we sat and there were stains on the table cloth and on the plates and utensils. Service was worse than ever. I won't be going back to this place and would not recommend it to my friends.

• Pros: location
• Cons: Food not fresh, dirty place, horrible service etc

Horrible !!! Stay away !!!

by MiKe3451 at Citysearch

By the time you sit at table, you must be frustrated with this notorious manager because of his poor hosting and communication skill. Then you probably get mad since you don't get food any time soon. Besides, food is insanely overpriced. Lastly you should be infuriated when this rude waiter drops off your bill and tries to kick you out of the restaurant. Until you are all set, he is waiting right behind you to snatch your check. It is just amazing. If you don't wanna be treated like that, just stay away from the place !

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything
