44 & X

This was one of the best restaurants we ate at in NYC. The restaurant has a great vibe. The staff were wonderful. The food was AMAZING. we spent about $100 per person (in total, after tax and tip). Considering the very generous portions and phenomenal quality of the food, the price is well worth it and cheaper (for what you get) than other places. I had the fillet and not only was it large. It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. It melted in my mouth. The only small note I will make, just for others to be aware if they’ve never been, the restaurant is quite small and the tables are packed in quite close, so it may not be the most accessible friendly for people who have mobility devices. FYI

This restaurant was excellent, the atmosphere and dishes! I ordered two plates, one is goat cheese and pistachio soufflé with Asian pears and pomegranate jus and the other one is crispy sea bass with saffron mussels broth and mushrooms and artichoke. Goat cheese and pistachio soufflé: It was like warm yogurt cake. This is my first time to eat this style. But you can feel the flavor of goat cheese itself. Moreover pomegranate jus was pretty good ascent, a little bit sour. It was good fusion. Let’s try! Crispy sea bass: Sea bass itself was nice of course, but saffron mussels broth brought much better taste. Then artichoke was a bit mysterious flavor, it doesn’t mean “bad”. I have wanted to come here for a while, but it was good opportunity. I’ll come back.

We had last gone there a decade, perhaps 15 years ago! We kind of forgot about it. But we made up for lost time by going twice in the space of a couple of months. Scores well in every category that a restaurant should perform - food, service, atmosphere and value. I expect we'll be more regular customers over the next 10 years.

This place rocks!! Perfect ambiance for a perfect brunch. High ceilings and lots of space to socialize. Could stay here for hours and be comfortable. Food quality was on point and great menu variety. Service is friendly and attenttive. This is a go-to brunch spot to bring large groups of friends. A nice bonus: the free corn bread they provide is so damn good.
