A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

    Everything form service to food was excellent. My only complaint was the portion size of the side dishes seemed small for this level and price point of a steak house.

    Perfect kind of fine dining experience - upscale, not uptight, incredible food, and really impeccable service. It is going to be hard to eat anywhere else for the next several months. We went to celebrate a birthday and engagement anniversary, and they made it very special and very aware that they knew and cared about it !

    Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

    This place was such a pleasant and hidden surprise to come across. The Tin Building in general is so amazingly flawless and has everything that you need and more, but the "hidden club" vibes this place gives off are choice. The ambiance is amazing and intimate, the drinks are tasty and creative, the food was DELICIOUS, and the staff was more than accommodating for anything that we needed. I haven't been to a Chinese spot in so long, and this one popped up on my radar last minute for my husband’s birthday and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion, birthday, date night, or a high-quality Chinese food night out with a vibe. Dishes that I would recommend that were a perfect order for a group of 4 (1 woman and 3 men with appetites): Appetizers - Juicy Chicken Pot Stickers - Shrimp and Cabbage Spring Rolls - Pork and Shrimp Wontons* - Black Bean Spare Ribs* Entrees - Chicken with Broccoli - Black Pepper Wagyu Beef* Desserts - Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Yellow Curry Ice Cream - Fortune Cookie Sunday* (*our favorite MUST-HAVE dishes)
