Concierge "Why go to Daniel? Because you owe it to yourself to experience the real thing at least once. French haute-cuisine restaurants are vanishing from New York, but Daniel, on the Upper East..."
Fodor's "One of the most elegant dining experiences in Manhattan." Full review

Travel + Leisure "The namesake of acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, this New French restaurant is often lauded as one of the best in the nation." Full review
Zagat "Still the "hautest of haute" after two decades, Daniel Boulud's "magnificent" Eastsider offers a "religious experience" via "otherworldly" prix fixe–only New French cuisine." Full review
BlackBook "Superstar French suited to your dramatic entrances. Like a Roman palazzo, hitting Corinthian columns, glitzy chandeliers, clean white scheme."
DK Eyewitness "Chef Daniel Boulud’s flagship restaurant features a Venetian Renaissance-inspired dining room, one of the most luscious settings in town."
Michelin Guide 2 Stars
"Daniel remains the type of restaurant where one can never be overdressed. However, its ambience has a calm elegance and less aggressive exclusivity than one might expect." Full review

Zagat ""Memorable" is putting it mildly at chef Michael White's Columbus Circle "stunner", again voted NYC's No. 1 Italian thanks to "exquisite" seafood and pasta." Full review
BlackBook "Michael White goes for the trifecta after major scores with Convivio and Alto. Name means tide, high-end Italian seafood is the angle, with market-fresh fish from around the world."
DK Eyewitness "This Italian seafood palace features a superb menu – with a location to match, situated as it is at the crossroads of Central Park South and Columbus Circle."
Michelin Guide 1 Star

Gayot15.0
"A meal here might best be enjoyed with someone who has a healthy expense account, but it's worth it; at times Mareaâs menu is transcendent." Full review
New York Times "While Marea is a seafood restaurant, it is not one that seeks to place a divide between that which swims and that which walks." Full review
Time Out "Michael White, who built a national reputation at Fiamma in New York and Las Vegas, only to see his fledgling empire squashed overnight in a partnership meltdown, returned stronger than he left." Full review
New York Magazine Critic's Pick
"Kinetic restaurateur-chef Michael White doesn't appear to have gotten the news about the fine-dining apocalypse." Full review
