From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon alum Mitsunobu Nagae melds his Japanese heritage with French cooking at this MICHELIN-starred Tribeca gem. That means you might find dishes like foie gras crème brûlée stuffed in citrus or miso-marinated Japanese butterfish with baby artichoke on the seasonal tasting menu—or choose from à la carte options at the bar. Either way, you'll be seated in a space that's definition: Tribeca; an elegant room with velvet chairs and booths and a marble accent wall.

    The whole experience was wonderful - the staff really went out of their way to make sure we had an elevated experience, while not being condescending. The food was delicious and it was a great place to take my girlfriend for her birthday.

    The appetizers were great, everything else was average. We waited 15 minutes between food and that was the longest time we waited at any fine dining. The main dishes came out lukewarm. The experience overall was overpriced and probably will not return.

    L'Abeille is an elegant, ultra-sophisticated restaurant that yet remains unpretentious and completely guest-focused. It has a broadly international clientele and at the same time clearly local if not neighborhood diners as well. The staff is beyond superb. The dishes are the perfect and creative blend of all those attributes great restaurants achieve unfailingly on a nightly basis. L'Abeille is a wonderful and meritorious addition to the constellation of world-class destination dining that, at its finest, is New York.

    Food was sublime. Service and atmosphere was fantastic. We really enjoyed the different tasting dishes: aged duck, crispy Amadai fish, and Uni were all well presented and a good variety of flavors. The Risotto a la truffle noire was an exquisite comfort food dish. Thank you for a really special dinner experience to celebrate my wife's birthday.

    I think the waiters need to know a little bit more about lobster came from what part of Maine, and perhaps they can talk more about the. And to talk about the tile fish more and about the fact that it's a christy top which makes people feel like it's a bone.. Christoph was amazing and it was wonderful to talk to him since we love. Essential restaurant and he was involved with it as well as with chef being friends with the chef of essential.. I thought the waitresses were terrific and the sommelier.

    What would have been an excellent tasting menu experience was marred by the chef’s fatal choice of including cheese on the tagliatelle w/truffles (+$75 supplement). The flavour of the truffles, delicate at best, was obscured by the cheese. The dish essentially became a “mac n’ cheese”. Terrible faux pas for a Michelin starred restaurant. A simpler inclusion of very good olive oil alone, would have done the trick. Excellent wine list, service and ambience,
