About this business
One if by Land, Two if by Sea embodies romance, featuring piano music, flowers, fireplaces, balcony seating and dim lighting. It is a favorite spot for marriage proposals and special occasions. The signature dish is Beef Wellington wherein the filet mignon is wrapped in sumptuous pastry dough. The desserts and the extensive wine list are also worth inspecting.

Most romantic restaurant in NYC – I went here with my boyfriend for his birthday. This was the most romantic restaurant I've ever been to. The food was good, but not for the price we paid for it. However, the service was the best I've ever had at a restaurant (although that's the way it should have been since we paid a lot for the food). Also, we were the youngest people at the restaurant. The average age of the restaurant patrons was approximately 35/40 years old. However, the servers did not treat us badly(which I find hap... read more
Very fine but flawed – Visited mid-week. Busy but not overly crowded. Had a table for 2 on the main floor with view of the entire room. Beautiful setting with well prepared and attractively plated conservative "continental" fare. Tuna tartare is a standout. Overall effect is unfortunatley flawed (at least in our case) by earnest but unpolished service. The wine list is on the expensive side. I had them fax me the wine list and found a solid 1999 Graves for $45 (checked it against Robert Parker vintage chart) Suggest you do t... read more
overpricedvaletinedinner – valentines dinner package was way over priced. Service was no where to be found. Not even sure who was my waiter. The bread guy came over more than the waiter. Check came before we could finish the dessert. One time experience.
Atmosphere Abounds – This is one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. The atmosphere is positively wonderful - especially when the gifted pianist is playing (very nice touch on the keys). The warm glow of the fireplace makes it a really nice winter restaurant. The service was very friendly, but unfortunately inefficient. Some of the white wines we sampled were not properly chilled. It was also terribly smokey by the bar when we first walked in. Fortunately the smoke didn't carry into the restaurant area. Despite ou... read more
Romantic, yes. – But they've got to do something about the bad, live piano act. Abba, for goodness sakes! Inappropriate for such a romantic setting. The service was spotty with repeated requests to refill out water glasses necessary. The appetizers fine, but nothing outstanding. The entrees were better than the first course, but still nothing to write about. Desserts were blah and definitely not up to par for such a place. Wine list was extensive, but we got mixed drinks instead. The one thing we did enjoy quite a bit was th... read more
Lovely – Had a lovely evening there lat night with my boyfriend and another couple. Even though we are 20 somethings who were there for restaurant week the staff was very courteous and didn't treat us differently than any other patrons. The restaurant is very romantic in an overdone sort of way. We sat upstairs in a quiet red room which was lovely. The food was excellent and they accomodated our vegetarian requests with a delicious leek and truffle ravioli that melted in the mouth. Portions are a bit smaller compared to most... read more
Beautiful! Gorgeous! – Restaurant week got us here - we'll definitely come back. Great place for a special occasion. Very romantic - lots of fresh roses, silver, candles. Feel sorry for those who did not have a pleasant experience during restaurant week - our's was superb from begining to end. Had visited Chateau La Nerthe on a recent trip to France, so were especially pleased to see their wine on the list!
Disappointing Service and Atmosphere – Granted we made the mistake of going during restaurant week, so the service was rushed and the menu was sparce. But there is still no excuse for running out of HALF the wine list and half the entrees on the menu. Our waiter must have been a 'stand-in' because he did not know the menu, choices or basic service protocol (bread plate on the left). Also, tables were ridiculously close together. Lots of large groups. This is not what we expected from "NYs most romantic restaurant!
Romantic favorite – This was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in my life. The food was phenominal, beef wellington to die for. The atmosphere was very romantic, our own little table in the corner, very quiet. Service was excellent. Dinner was very pricey, but it is worth it for a special occasion.
