   My absolute all-time favorite restaurant in Manhattan! You just can’t go wrong with Aretsky’s Patroon. We had the lamb and the Dover Sole and as always it was cooked perfectly and beyond delicious. Stéphane and Gene along with the rest of the staff always give a warm welcome. It’s the quintessential NYC restaurant. They have an amazing rooftop bar and live jazz on Fridays also.

   I have been dining at Aretsky’s Patroon since shortly after it opened. Usually 2-3 times a year, so not a regular, but recognized nonetheless. It’s a destination restaurant, not where one goes to grab a basic meal on the way home from work. I return and will again because it is always a pleasurable dining experience, from the warm welcome at the door through a delicious and varied menu of elevated classics. The Caesar salad, assembled tableside with discreet flourish, is justifiably celebrated. And don’t forget dessert — the Pavlova is a delight. The whole experience is memorable. I look forward to returning one day soon.

   Haven't been to Aretsky's Patroon for a while, but had a great experience. Still as good as ever.

   There aren’t enough stars available to rate Aretsky’s Patroon high enough. Impeccable service from the moment you walk in the door til the moment you get your coat on the way out. Our waiter was Stephan (Stefan?) and he was absolutely wonderful. This is my new favorite place and I can’t wait to go back. I love that he personally greets each table. Such a nice touch.

   Once again a terrific dinner at Patroon!! Starting with a warm greeting from Eugene, the evening was perfect. Stefan shone as always taking our order promptly and delivering outstanding service. The food was delicious...burgers cooked to perfection and made of the highest quality lowest fat beef. Juicy but not oily. And of course the beignets were a perfect finishers, supplemented by little oreo cookies to take home.

   We absolutely loved it. Girls night out. We talked and talked. Food was over the moon. Tomahawk that we shared. Rolls. Oysters. Our drinks. It was all just amazing. I wish we could name our server - he was just delightful. I will be going back and recommending this place FOR SURE.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. The food is always exceptional. But what makes this place my favorite is so many things that result in a perfect dining experience. The room is beautiful (great decor, lighting, and one of the great photography collections), comfortable, and designed for dinner table conversations. The people are unbelievable. I don't know how they do it. I always feel as if I am their favorite guest and I think everyone feels that way. I take people there and that is the only place they want to meet again! Ken Aretsky is so welcoming, his son the same (and adorable), the maitre'd has more energy than I have in a week and is the most charming man, and everyone makes you feel at home. The steak, which they are known for, is the best I have ever had, and everything else from the dinner rolls to the beignets is worth the trip. All in all, every evening there is a treat!
