"If this very grown-up Midtown place remains the one to beat despite astronomical prices and what many consider a too-sedate corporate decor, it's because of Ripert's always-evolving menu."

"Dining doesn't get much more "blissful" than at this "sublime" Midtown French seafooder via Maguy Le Coze and chef Eric Ripert."

"Eric Ripert is more likely to be globetrotting than preparing the orange vinaigrette that tops your warm lobster carpaccio, but seasoned staff knows its way around the fruits of the sea."

""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."

"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."

"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."
