44 & X Hell's Kitchen

“In the heart of a busy Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, this place can easily be your local spot for brunches, cocktails or upscale dinner without the pretense that makes most places feel cold or uninviting. It is modern with a warm feel and the food is amazing. The staff is welcoming and attentive and if you ever have the chance to meet the new owner, Dan, you'll understand that he is as much a part of the cozy vibe as all the other details of the space. Plan your next outing here. You won't regret it.”

“Had a great night at 44 & X meeting up with friends. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and perfect for catching up. We started with the wedge lettuce salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and for the main course I had the short ribs — absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Everything from the food to the service made for a wonderful dining experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back!”

“Booked a table for Valentine's Day and arrived right on time. We were seated immediately and greeted by Derek our server for the evening. We sampled and shared a little bit of everything - the lobster bisque soup (special) and the shaved fennel and arugula salad were amazing as appetizers. The pistachio crusted tilapia was cooked to perfection. The pork tenderloin was also excellent. While the main courses all looked amazing, it is the desserts that really take the experience above and beyond. I don't know what they are paying their pastry chef but she is easily worth double given the seemingly endless creativity and rich flavor combinations on offer. Outstanding in every way.”

“The food is out of this world. Our appetizer was scallops with crab bites.They were unbelievable. We had salmon and halibut with vegetables for dinner. Both dishes were amazing.”

“The restaurant had a beautiful outdoor setting, perfect for a balmy New York summer evening. Our waiter was excellent—attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food was outstanding: I enjoyed a perfectly cooked salmon along with starters of goat’s cheese and a Caesar salad. The wine was also excellent. To finish, we shared a chocolate soufflé and a peanut butter–flavoured dessert, both of which were exceptional. Overall, the food was fresh, delicious, and faultless. A truly wonderful dining experience. The only negative was the bread at the start which was somewhat stale. Definitely recommend!!”
