One if by Land, Two if by Sea

“We held a private business dinner here with a curated menu. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. The group was well treated and taken care of. I will definitely be back.”

“One if by Land, Two if by Sea was such a special experience. The food was absolutely superb, every course felt thoughtful and beautifully prepared, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. It’s nice to feel a little fancy once in a while, and this is truly the perfect place for that. The historic setting is stunning, beautifully decorated, romantic, and full of charm. It really feels like stepping into another era. Such a perfect date night spot in NYC, elegant without feeling stuffy, and an experience we’ll definitely remember”

Each course feels carefully curated, making the dining experience feel refined and special. The service is attentive, professional, and very polished, which adds to the overall experience.It’s definitely a place that feels iconic and unique I would absolutely recommend it for a meaningful celebration or a romantic evening.”

“One If by Land, Two If by Sea was absolutely spectacular. Walking in felt like stepping into a storybook—the soaring ceilings, glowing chandeliers, and beautiful holiday décor created the most magical atmosphere. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The escargot was perfectly prepared, the Beef Wellington was exceptional, the French onion consommé was rich and comforting, and the chocolate soufflé was the perfect ending. Every dish felt special. They offer both a three-course prix fixe and a seven-course tasting menu, which makes the experience feel even more elevated. Yes, it’s expensive—but absolutely worth it for a special occasion or a truly memorable night out. The pianist sat right in front of us and played so gently it felt like the music was floating in the background—elegant, intimate, and unforgettable. The service was impeccable, the cocktails were just as wonderful as the food, and the entire evening felt incredibly romantic. A truly unforgettable dining experience and easily one of the most romantic restaurants in New York.”

“Probably the most romantic restaurant we have been to in NYC. Recommend asking for the window seats overlooking the garden - so pretty. The food was good - we went for the 3 course fixed menu ($165 each) but the beef wellington was so large. Felt like we were paying for such a unnecessary portion that we ended up leaving half which felt so wasteful. We weren't coming away raving about the food and as everywhere in NYC it was expensive. You are more paying for the vibes and how romantic it is. There is live music which really added to the ambience. The service was good but felt over the top with multiple servers per table.”
