30 of us got together and had a great party in their wine cellar room. We were very happy with how the staff and chef took care of us, the menu is excellent, and the wine list is great. No hitches all smooth. We will return. More

“Perfect Neighborhood Addition”

people found this review helpful

82nd East may be more of a cab ride than you want to take if you're staying in mid or lower Manhattan, but the dining experience will be worth it. AJ Black is an exceptional Chef.
