Reviews for Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York, NY
My party had a wonderful evening dining at Blue Hill, and I was excited to try the Family Meal as my prior dining experience was... with the set tasting menu. Each course had a great selection of farm fresh produce, adequate portions, and light but comfortingfare. We included the wine pairing and the taste and tale of each bottle were remarkable. Our servers were attentive and patientand the overall ambiance leaves us with a treasured memory of this meal. Read more
It’s a good place, however I found the service to be sluggish. The food was fresh but the vegetables surprisingly had little... taste. The wine list is extensive and the ambiance is laid back. Surprisingly I was not entirely enamored with the food. Thefare is light and menus are made based on ingredients from their nearby farm, but it was simply not really that flavorful. Preparations were well done and portions were large. Read more
I have tried numerous Michelin star restaurants and set course haute cuisine in NYC, yet Blue Hill family meal was by far the... best and exceeded my expectations. The appetizers were creative, making me curious with the pretty plating, while surprising mewith completely different tastes at the same time in good ways. In the main dishes, the eggplant was superb – nothing close toanything I tasted before. The pork dish was just perfect, well-balanced with tender texture and very tasteful. We were servedseveral dessert dishes as part of the family meal, which was nice, but I was initially not thrilled as I’m not a dessertperson. Nevertheless, I emptied all the dessert dishes. They were so delicious, yet they were not that sweet. All the dishes aregreat, but I must say the wine pairing was on another level. I felt like I was journeying through exquisite wine countries likeChampagne, Burgundy, and Napa. The head sommelier was super passionate and introduced me to his perfect wine selections. Theambiance was also great. All the restaurant employees were super friendly. They all made us feel very comfortable and helped usenjoy the food, wine, and ambiance. I will definitely come back again when I visit NYC next time. Thank you! Read more
An amazing journey through the culinary mind of a great chef! We were whisked away on the flavor express! The food was truly... impressive! I still do not know how peas can taste that good! Everything was top notch, even the old fashioned! The ambiancematches the name, it has the feel of joining a family table run by your old friends! Truly impressive! Read more
Wonderful birthday meal at Blue Hill / Family table. Attentive staff and very accommodating of gluten allergy. Lots of delicious... fresh vegetables across all courses - the salad and dessert were our favorite. Only thing that was a tad off was the peach rxcocktail - tasted like watered down mescal. Overall lovely meal and want to head up to the farm upstate. Read more
I am a vegetarian and so I selected their vegetarian menu and I was blown away. All of the fruits and vegetables were so fresh... it was like I had never tasted them before. Their service was also incredible. They accommodated every allergy, they allowed usto order drinks off menu, and they even gave us a menu to take home. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and theysurprised us with a delicious chocolate cake and gave us a candle. I can’t wait to come back! (Shout out to our amazingserver Justin) Read more
We have not been back for years. We tried the family style since this is the only option. The dishes are in the right size for... 2 of us. But every dish is on the heavy taste side. I though we would get some seafood dishes but we did not. The dishes that wehad are on salty side but the sever was willing to change it for us. Ideally the taste should gradually become heavier but thatis the case. The sever provided excellent service. I would say I enjoyed the service than the food. The dessert is bad. Notcreative at all. Chain restaurant can do the same dessert or better. To pay $100 per person I hope they can offer more sinceevery table is having the same dish on the same night. We are disappointed! Read more
We simply loved it Disclaimer - we've sat at the bar with a super friendly and professional bartender named Antanas who made the... entire evening so much more entertaining ???? If you're a big meat lover and your dinner has to be centered around a big pieceof steak or poultry, then go someplace else. However, if you appreciate vegetables, their freshness and would like to experiencethem in new amazing delicious ways - do not miss out on Blue Hill! You're being served a 4 course meal which is imaginative andtastes amazing from start to finish. Of course, some dishes are better than others but they were all excellent. Compared toother fine dining, it feels like the portions are slightly larger and the cost more reasonable. We were celebrating our weddinganniversary so going for a nice piece of steak (that would have cost us half) wouldn't have been as special as visiting BlueHill. Compliments to the chefs, cooks, waiters and our bartender - they were all extraordinary! Would definitely love to comeback and try their farm-to-table menu in a different season... Read more
