strange romance... – I went here to celebrate an anniversary. While the food was good enough (if old-fashioned - my meal tasted like it was out of a fancy 1950s cookbook, all creamy and rich) the environment was sort of bizarre - rich tapestries, yucky corner-grocer roses on the tables, and a strange '80s mirrored wall, which we sat against at the back of the restaurant. The waiter was nice enough but seemed sort of bored and insincere. This would all be bearable if the meal didn't cost $250. A lot of older people there seem... read more

Worth every penny! – With all the hype and recognition this place has received, I was bit intimidated at first. That quickly changed as soon as we entered into this historic old restaurant. From the ambiance to the service to the cuisine, it lived up to all of its expectations. Highly recommended.

The Disney of Romantic Restaurants – Had great expectations and we were both very disappointed. Classic "decent restaurant but not on Saturdays" syndrome perhaps. The decor is nice enough and the atmosphere is old-school romantic but all a but tatty. We were sat upstairs up with all the other "special occassion" diners. The service was slow to respond, patronizing - a $90 prix fixe menu and we were offered a mushroom tart as a substitute to a meat course?? It was fine but for $130 pp+ it should have been great. We left feeli... read more

Romantic, but too traditional – This restaurant is romantic as described, but it is a little too dark and too crowded. We were practically shoulder to shoulder with the couple next to us. We were seated upstairs, would recomend being seated in the main dining room. We went there for our 5th anniversary trip to NYC from CA. The service is impeccable, and they did provide us with plenty of extras, knowing that it was our anniversary. The tasting menu was good, but nothing surprising like Commanders Palace in Las Vegas or New O... read more

A really Romantic Place – This place deserves all the praise it get the service is great the ambiance is great the food is great! This menu and wine list have a goods to choose from. And most importantly you get no non-sense service! You'll what you ask for. You won't be told oh we don't have this today after asking the waiter for it. This place is a great hide away while your inside you forget your in New York. I highly recommed this place.

Romantic? – This restaurant is supposed to be romantic? The tables were practically on top of one another - I could listen to other peoples' conversations and I'm sure they could hear mine. Not exactly what I'd call intimate. The food was fine, but was a little overpriced for what was served. I'd recommend sticking with a NYC staple and go to Aureole instead.

I loved it!!! – It was my first trip to NYC. My husband and I spent five wonderful days exploring the city and the culminating event was our dinner at One if by Land, Two if by Sea. Our server was John and he was the absolute best, I felt like a princess, roses and wine included. Totally recommend this place!!

Awful – My fiancée and me were celebrating our anniversary. It was a very special occasion for us, however the evening was almost ruined after we had dinner there. We foolishly believed the descriptions and ratings that it is one of the most romantic restaurants in NYC. We made reservation 3 days in advance and particularly asked to be seated by a window or a fireplace. However, when we arrived we were seated in the darkest coldest corner upstairs, right next to the kitchen. The waiter, who was serving our table, was very st... read more

MAGICAL EVENING – This place really does a great job to make you feel special. the candle is lit when u sit down, the roses are fresh on the table. The waiter and the people at the front cater to your every need. The food is amazing. Everything was perfect. I love when you go somewhere and you take a sip of water and they refill ur glass. Very attentitive service. I will definately be revisting this place very soon. Dinner for 2 people with one drink(boyfriend doesn't drink) was 210 with tip...not including the 35 bucks for ... read more
