The Consulate Midtown

“We celebrated birthday here. Great food and wine selection. Service was great too. We had grilled octopus along with tomahawk steak to share between 3. My son had steak and fries which he loved too. Deserts were great too. Highly recommend.”

“Juan was very knowledgeable. Best burrata I’ve ever had. Steak Frites are to die for. Pineapple Upside down cake not to be missed. Great Jazz band called BC Jazz Now played lovely atmospheric music that added to the dining.”

“We decided go to The Consulate for lunch before going on a walking tour a few blocks away. I've always wanted to try a Croque Madame and The Consulate dit not disappoint! The egg was cooked perfectly, the béchamel sauce was smooth and very tasty, the brioche was buttery and crisp around the edges, the ham front and center/very good and the side salad was dressed just right! I also ordered the French Onion Soup and can honestly say it was the best that I've had from any restaurant EVER. The service from the time we entered the restaurant to leaving was outstanding. The servers were patient, knew the menu top to bottom and were very attentive. The atmpsphere from the lighting to music gave the place a chill vibe and the whole experience was relaxing. A wonderful way to begin our pre-Thanksgiving vacation venture. I highly recommend The Consulate for a great meal. It's worth the calories, so make sure you have room to savor the experience!”

“Our new favorite spot... not just in midtown, but one the island of Manhattan. Their Happy hour is a happy hour that's actually worth it. Phenomenal cocktails until 6:30pm during the weekday and each one dripping with quality. I've never had a better cocktail at a $13 pricetag and I've had them coast to coast in some of the finest restaurants, including french restaurants like Le Diplomat in DC and Parq in Philly. Caesar was kind, quick, and eager to serve us during our special celebration. We so appreciated him. Saqueo and Helder were incredible servers as well and treated the table like we were at a 5 star steakhouse. I dropped a steak knife and before I could blinked it was picked up and replaced. Our hostess was also so kind, patient, and connected with our 2 YO daughter. Everything we ate from sushi, to the duck was absolutely top notch quality and presentation. The $11 happy hour escargot was the best I've ever had with a quality of snail that takes on flavor as it should, tender, savory. And the ambiance is truly breathtaking from the moment you enter with the curved staircase to the top floor with the incredible brick and wood covered walls. And I assure you they did not pay me to write this review but I will give another huge recommendation as they are part of the in kind app and you qualify for 20% cash back on your purchase as well as qualify for special discounts. We will be back anytime we visit because they truly set a great standard for a date night in any city.”

“I have a very severe shellfish/fish allergy so I have to make sure restaurants are safe and can accommodate my allergies. After making my reservation, I reached out to the restaurant asking if that was possible and if there was anything on the menu that would be off limits, they assured me they had separate cooking stations and things would be fine. I showed up for my birthday reservation on 3/28 just to be told AFTER ordering and receiving appetizers that the things I ordered were fried in the same fryer as seafood. Had I not double checked before eating, things would've gotten very bad. So, I could not get any appetizer except flatbread which I did not want. I was then told everything fried was off limits....between the seafood and fried food 80% of the menu was off limits to my table. My waiter was kind, attentive, and such a sweetheart. I am disappointed in the restaurant though because I specifically asked, prior to, if anything was off limits and I was told otherwise. Had I known, I would've booked elsewhere. It is hard enough, as is, for me to find places to eat at and restaurants not being truthful, only makes it harder and dangerous. This honestly ruined my night but I was there for a celebration so I had to push it aside. The bread pudding was DELICIOUS but I was told it was brought to us as a complimentary birthday treat but I was definitely charged the $15 for it.”
