My wife and I had a wonderful meal on Nov 19th. Instead of the tasting menu we each had two apps an entree and then shared a dessert. and it turned out to be a great choice. The highlight of the meal was the lamb. I order lamb a lot, and I can say with total certainty that it was the best I ever had - seasoned and cooked perfectly. Service was good but did not measure up to the food.

I just came back from a week in New York and Blue Hill was on my list of places I had made a reservation. After my meal there, I wished I had booked there every night... everything, from the welcome to the farewell, from the food to the wine, from the design of the menu to the design of the bathrooms... everything was extraordinary! We were seated in what they call the Garden Room in the back which was cosy and intimate, perfect for our party of four. We had the tasting menu (it changes everyday) and the wine pairing but what we weren't prepared for was the generousity of the kitchen... they brought us not one but FIVE different amuse-bouche! All were vegetables and other product from their farm at Stone Barns. What followed was perfection on a plate and seemless service. The owners have an incredible team there, all dedicated to offer the best to their customers. Attention to detail, freshness and a love of the ingredients is also what comes to mind when thinking about our evening at Blue Hill. This has now become my favorite restaurant in NY and I can't wait to go back! This restaurant also offers excellent value... of all the other places we went to this week (Jean-George, Bondst & wd-50), this was by far our favorite... and coincidently, the best value.

Great service and atmosphere. No room for improvement there. Food was amazingly fresh and well prepared. Our only complaint is that the meal seemed to be lacking inspiration.

Ate here as a walk-in table of 3 a couple of weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the hospitaly and service. Everything was perfectly orchestrated. Food was farm fresh and tasty. Great selection of wines by the glass. Not your everyday meal, but defintely a place to go for a special treat.

I have been to other fancy ny restos but this one takes the cake. Simple, incredibly fresh food, tastfully put together and mellow. Also for what you are getting the prices are reasonable. Definitely try the dirty martini, today's egg dish (salad with the freshest egg you will ever have) and the mango tapioca dessert. The chef here is a genius and I am really looking forward to my next visit.

I was taken here on date on a blustery spring Saturday afternoon. We had a super early reservation, which was lovely, as it allowed us plenty of relaxed face time to chat with an extremely knowledgeable waiter and equally knowledgeable (and beautiful!) sommelier. We chose the tasting menu with wine pairings a breathtaking spread of flavors that left us both incredibly satisfied and yet longing for more. By far, my favorite dish was a devastatingly delicious asparagus soup featuring a poached egg, the broth light, the egg runny and thick. Other highlights included a savory charcuterie sampler, a delightfully refreshing sauvignon blanc, and the most delicate baby lamb chops served atop a perfect buttery risotto.... my mouth waters at the thought! Dessert was the one thing I thought could have been better: we had the plantains, which were simply mediocre and disappointing after such a tantalizing meal. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to migrate to the bar to sample a glass of a hard-to-find aged whiskey. Outside the weather was stormy, but all was warm and wonderful in this gem of a West Village eatery an extremely romantic place I highly recommend!

Im rarely inclined to post reviews following dining experienes however Blue Hill deserves a bit of my time...A friend and I were seated at a great table for four, not squeezed between two other couples and forced to pretend we werent all actually sitting at the same table. We ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairings. $110 per person for a meal such as this is a steal. Each of the three main dishes were absolutely great, the portions we more than healthy, each wine pairing was spot on, with wines I had never had before...each pour was substantial as well. Our server was knowledgeable about the dishes and the wines as well as attentive and friendly. The deserts were just so so, but i dont go to dinner for desert. All in all, it was a great meal and for sure worth trying. Im definitely going back.
