The Pool in New York, New York

“One of the most amazing dining experiences you could possibly have, beyond all imagination. The staff, particularly head waiter Chris and sommelier Michael, could not have been more brilliant, charming, and warm. Our first time here, but we felt like regulars. And we plan to be as regular here as our bank account allows. That said, with everything we had, and we had everything, we thought it would be even more expens”

“The Pool is spectacular. From the moment you walk into the door, upstairs through the Grill, past the luxurious plant display, and into the massive open dining room and gaze upon the eponymous pool with a moving mobile above --- The Pool never fails to impress. Service was impeccable and attentive. Everytime we returned to our seats, the chairs were pulled out for us. Angel, our server, was knowledgeable and on point”

“The highlight of 2018 for me! Was looking forward to THE POOLu2019s opening and was no disappointed! The decor, the atmosphere, the service here make it to the top of my list in NYC. I would recommend the Sea Urchin toast to start with (we actually ordered an extra portion because it was so good!) and halibut for entree. The wine list is so long you will need help from the sommelier unless you know exactly what you want)”

“The pool is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. From the Baeri royal sturgeon caviar to the cotton candy, everything is delicious. I've taken more than 50 pictures of their dishes since I was young. Great atmosphere, great waiters, great food.”

“Anticipate some time to relax in the lounge overlooking the pool room with a few cocktails before sitting down for your meal, though the drink menu is both creative and tasty - based on the flavors of 10+ different main ingredients, from fruits to jalapeu00f1os. The service is good, wine list extensive, and menu is well done - with some creative and nicely executed dishes in each category, including the Foie gras ribbons”

“Went to a wedding here. Beautiful location but weird layouts. Only 2 unisex bathrooms near upstairs pool room that always had a line. Bigger bathroom downstairs but you had to go thru another party to get to the stairs. Dance floor was in upper space and because of the partitions you could not see the bride and groom dance. Tight space for picking up seating card. Poor layout. Good was tasty we had the filet.”
