- PPeterVIPNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe restaurant’s buildout was well thought out, with ample spacing between tables that allows for private conversation and a comfortable dining experience. The owner and manager are gracious and engaged, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. While there were some minor opening jitters, they’re the kind that naturally smooth out over time. The menu could benefit from a dedicated vegetarian option, though the waiter mentioned that some dishes could be modified. The ambiance is elegant, with marble tables, a fireplace, and candlelit warmth that enhances the overall experience. As a neighborhood resident, I appreciate the inviting presence of the hotel’s doorway when walking by—it adds to the charm of the area.More infoCafe ZaffriPrice: Expensive• Middle Eastern• Union Square•4.4
