We cannot understand why anyone would knowingly go to this place. We had a party of 8. Very limiting menu, took the waiter 20 min. to get a drink order. Pricy entrees were tiny and ordinary. The service was horrible also. With so many good restaurants in Manhattan, I must admit this was the worst meal we've had in years....

Very pretty inside..we sat upstairs and was very romantic atmosphere. The duck and rabbit had great flavor and not dry at all. Desert is ok but the main entrees are worth it.

I cannot believe that this restaurant is rated 17 in New York City. Food was Good service was horrible and the managers a joke. I cannot believe that even after spending $675.00 for dinner nobody came even to say how was everything. Me personally i will never go back there.

My wife and I had an excellent meal here last night. Everything was fantastic from the friendly hostess greeting to the the waitstaff that was acommodating, efficient and attentive. My wife ordered off the restaurant week menu and we loved that you could upgrade for a few bucks more for the Oyster app and the Filet Mignon. Oysters were everything...

I had no idea that a restaurant could couple great food in a kid-friendly atmosphere...Beacon does and I'm a believer. The menu is extensive and features wood oven-fired foods...from game meats (think duck and venison) and salmon to sliders/burgers and great sides. Kids can order half plates of anything or off a kids menu. The waitress suggested Shirley Temples for...

Booked here as it was the highest rated on tripadvisor that I could get at last minute. One of our party of three cancelled at the last minute but we were still given a great table. Both of had the salmon which was done excellently. The sides were a proper size for two to share not the normal grossly over...

I asked to be seated near thebrick ovens so the children could watch. I even asked for something a bit different for them to eat than the...
