db Bistro moderne - New York

From the moment you are warmly greeted at the door until the time you depart, the team at dbm ensures that you feel welcomed and well taken care of. I have been dining here for years and have never been disappointed, nor have my guests. The food is delicious, the service is attentive, and the ambiance is relaxed and inviting, avoiding any sense of stuffiness. What sets this place apart are the small touches throughout the meal - from the amuse bouche to the bread, drinks, main course, and dessert. Each element makes you feel like you are receiving top-notch treatment and excellent value for your money.

From the moment we walked in until we left, everything was perfect. The Brussel Sprout salad was fantastic and the special rice pudding dessert was amazing. We were seated at a nice table towards the back of the main room, away from the booths near the bar area that didn't have the same upscale feel. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Overall, it was a special place for a night out.

Took a long time for a server to approach our table after we were seated. Finally flagged down sommelier to order a cocktail. Food came out quickly, but never had a server check on us, follow up. Restrooms were filthy; had to tell hostess. Poor service and dirty restrooms unacceptable for this level of restaurant.

In NYC for a weekend visit/party and made sure we returned to this favorite spot. The branzino special was so o o delicious!!! Amazing. Wonderful flavors I made it last as long as I could. The staff was very accommodating to our special request and couldn’t have been more appropriately attentive. Also, we love the fixed price menu option.

Still one of my old fav’s! Food,Service and Decor never disappoints. The $60 prie fix is well worth it.
