One of the best meals I have ever eaten! Our family enjoyed dinner for almost three hours. We never felt rushed, the service was attentive and knowledgeable, the dishes were perfectly executed with flavor profiles, texture and freshness! The wines we enjoyed were impeccable and expertly presented. We made wonderful memories and we will definitely be back!

Last night I had an amazing time! We ate at ESCA before seeing a show. The service was amazing the staff was very attentive. We're still talking about the food! The food was unbelievable it was like art in my mouth. I ate the calmari and had the cod for my main course. It was so tender and soft and tasty with every bite. I'm so glad my waiter suggested I top it with truffles. It was my first time eating truffles and now I'm hooked. Yes it was very expensive but we'll worth it. I'll definitely be back.

Great service and delicious food! Wife and I came here just this past weekend. We usually don't eat at upscale restaurants so we treated ourselves this once. The staff are very friendly and accommodating! The ambiance was nice both inside and out. Food was delicious but portion sizes are kinda small. They seemed to have limitless [delicious] bread though! When my wife thought she lost something by our table, several staff members stopped what they were doing right away to help us look. That kind of care was very nice to experience. And Joe made our experience very welcoming and awesome

It's my third time here. The best place to eat if you are somewhere near to Times Square. Food is tasty, service is exceptional. I just like this place so much. Will definitely come back!

Raw fish sampler dish was fantastic! And I did not like raw fish before trying it here. Our waiter was amazing. Churros were "icing on the cake" of a wonderful lunch. Will absolutely be back.

Service was very good. Very friendly and attentive. Food was pretty good ( u have to like seafood/italian food). Kale veggies,which we ordered as a side dish, was bit too salty for our taste.

AMAZING dinner. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The food was unreal. The sea bass melted in your mouth. The side dishes (potatoes, green onions, and collards) were flavorful and perfectly cooked. We got oysters which were fantastic! The old fashioneds were super solid - strong, but not too overpowering. The gnocchi had a really nice and soft texture. Absolutely loved this place. It’s on the pricier side (for all that we got), but I highly recommend for a more special occasion.

Had an amazing experience coming here. Staff were knowledgeable and were open with wine pairings. Beautiful restaurant, but still relaxed enough that you could enjoy yourself. Would recommend to anyone looking for good seafood fare!

Super awesome place. The food was so good in a kinda non-trendy way. I don't need my small portion covered in a bed of leaves, thanks. The octopus app was outstanding and a simply prepared, salt-baked branzino was moist and delicious. I really like that they served limes in addition to lemons with the fish. I would be a regular here if I lived anywhere near.

I've been going to Esca with my wife every time we visit NYC for the past 15 years. It is consistent and consistently great for crudo, pasta and the freshest fish. We were surprised to see the dining room has been remodeled & updated with a lighter, modern, more open and spacious feel. The food and service remain unchanged, all perfect.

Just had an amazing dinner tonight. Waiter Joe was so attentive & knowledgeable & the first thing he asked was, "are you going to a show this evening?" & yes we were going to "Hello Dolly" so he made sure our food came out on time so we weren't late. We had the scallops, grilled octopus & the oysters, all just perfect. And they had time to surprised my wife with a Happy Birthday dessert. Thanks for the hospitality.

Both the meal and the dessert were fabulous. Found this spot by chance as I was headed to a different location that had a wait longer than I cared for. I arrived early and didn't have a reservation and was seated right away. The dessert looks like a giant Swiss roll :)
