I just tried the place for the first time, and I agree with
I just tried the place for the first time, and I agree with the reviews that say the cocktails are good, and so is the food, but the menu is extremely limited, both in options and portions. I can see why it was easy to get a reservation when it was impossible before. But the place is West Village cramped even with just a few patrons. Bottom Line: Come in for a fancy drink and a small bite of fish, then go get a proper dinner.

Disappointing- came here 5-6 years ago and had an amazing experience. Came back recently and found that almost every facet of their business has gone downhill. Their cocktail menu has severely shrunk and they've done away with their most delicious, memorable, and unique cocktails, like the pistachio, carrot, etc. The cocktails that are left are the same fruity, sugary, over-iced cocktails that you could find at any other bar. 5 years ago, their service staff were on point and were engaging and could offer recommendations on the menu. Their staff nowadays seem disinterested and purely intent on getting customers in/out. Zz's is cutting costs and it isn't what it once was

Service is wonderful and you definitely feel transported with the music. A very small establishment with only four tables. The drinks were excellent. The dishes are definitely very small am way over priced for what you got. We walked right by Carbone's which was half full. Probably should've gone there.
Be the first to ReplyZZ's just reopened after being closed for private events
ZZ's just reopened after being closed for private events since the beginning of Covid. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time in New York. This place was once bustling and hard to claim a reservation, as it is nestled directly next to its sister restaurant Carbone. The menu is severely limited - you could quite literally dine here alone, order the entire menu, and leave feeling empty as a victim of the Irish potato famine. The venue is half the size of my local dry cleaners, which speaks volumes. I would not recommend this for a date spot or even dinner with a friend; you're shoulder to shoulder with the party next to you and they will hear ever intimate detail of your conversation, as you must scream to overcome the blaring music. For God's sake, I felt like I was dining in the bathroom of 1OAK. I also frequented this place in 2015-2016 and distinctly recall being able to order items from Carbone, but it's no longer allowed, which is total BS because the food comes from the same kitchen. Either way, I'll pass on the overpriced spicy rigatoni and leave it for the 17 year old influencers to Instagram. I just thought I wouldn't need a second dinner after leaving this place, but I quite literally railed a burger after that miserable experience. The cocktails are mid; nothing special, and the service was lackluster. I will not dine here again. I also hear MFG is creating a members only ZZ's club in Hudson Yards as a pathetic attempt to join the NYC private club bandwagon. I couldn't think of a worse idea, but I wish them the best of luck. I'm assuming the reopening of this location is a last hoorah before the grand opening of the club, considering it was dead and easy to get a reservation. Save yourself the time and money and don't bother with this antiquated restaurant. By the way, there's no way this venue still has a a Michelin star and if so, it simply has been grandfathered in through some type of deal.
Be the first to ReplyOne of a kind cocktails and super delicious.
Perfect spot for a romantic date or an intimate dinner .
Be the first to ReplyI went here with three friends.
Heard you could order carbone (that's what everyone does it's next door). Turns out... the health inspector was there. So we didn't receive the four dishes we ordered. Service was terrible and rude. Made you feel like you shouldn't be there. Sad because the food was tasty. Paid $200 for some of the worst experience I've ever had...:(
Be the first to ReplyAri and the team there are incredible.
Run, dont walk, if you like incredible service, style, and top quality (sea) food & drink. These guys really go out of the way and deserve all the kudos. Bonus points for the soundtrack, grapefruit and carrot cocktail, and great raw eats (kanpachi with vadouvan was stellar).
Be the first to ReplyOkay so let me begin by saying this place is incredible,
Okay so let me begin by saying this place is incredible, and the two men serving and bartending are fantastic. Secondly, this place is a one Michelin Star restaurant and rightfully so. All the bad reviews on this page are based around the fact it's too expensive and the portions are too small. I would ask those reviewers if they've ever been to a Michelin Star restaurant...? It's not going to be the pricing and portion of your local Olive Garden. Okay wIth that cleared up, I actually think it's fairly REASONABLE given it's accolades. Typically you get a $400 tasting menu at these types of places, alcohol not included. Yes the drinks are $20 but they are very very well crafted, unique and will blow the $17 vodka soda at Mr.Purple out of the water. The food is IMMACULATELY crafted. Trust that these guys know what they are doing and don't try and make substitutions to the dishes, they got a Michelin Star for a reason. Ok, thts all. I'll remember my ZZ's meal forever. Lastly, STOP GOING TO EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS THEN COMPLAINING THAT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.
Be the first to ReplyJust the absolute best there is.
Having been to top restaurants around the world, I can truly say ZZ's is a step above. Every single dish is exceptional - You just can't go wrong. The almost Caribbean speakeasy vibe is so uniquely New York. Staff is superb - friendly, knowledgeable, professional. Yes, a meal here will set you back a few weeks rent - but I'd rather eat here once that anywhere else 5 times.
Be the first to ReplyZZ's reinforces why NYC is known for the best restaurants
ZZ's reinforces why NYC is known for the best restaurants in the world. This place is truly one of the city's finest gems! Having been to MFG's other restaurants (The Grill and Carbone), I came to ZZ's with very high expectations, and WOW did they deliver beyond my wildest dreams. Yes, it's pricey, but you're paying for an all encompassing and luxuriously indulgent adventure.Ambiance:The intimate space immediately sets the tone for what becomes a personalized, transcending experience. Every detail, down to the cocktail's stir sticks, is meticulously thought through and executed. The two magicians running the show, Ari and Troy, offer their full attention and earnest care throughout the duration of your stay. You'll feel transported out of the NYC bustle to a deliciously peaceful haven.Cocktails:- Jalapeno: the perfect ratio of spicy-to-refreshing margarita- Strawberry: smoky mezcal with an exquisite mix of sweetness- Grapefruit: a beautiful adaptation of a negroni using gin, campari and yuzu- Pistachio: An elegantly sweet drink perfect for after dinner using Grappa, Honey and Absinthe- Off menu drinks: Troy will literally make any cocktail, and it will be the best version of said cocktailFood: Key takeaways; 1) expect the highest quality of every ingredient included on the menu 2) the food appears through "the portal from heaven" (you'll understand what this means when you go)- Trout Roe Toast; mandatory start to the meal- Oysters: delicious and fresh, don't skimp on the shishito peppers topping- Hamachi Crudo: Pairs flavors I've never before tasted; ate this silently in awe- Beef Carpaccio: Absolutely pristine and justifies the price. Topped with lobster, foie gras, and caviar, and served with delectable buttery brioche, this is not your typical carpaccio.ZZ's is a biblical indulgence. Can't wait to return!
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely excellent.
Transcendent seafood, unique flavor combinations that are an epiphany. Cocktails are taken as serious as caviar. It's so intimate and precious, like a memory you just remembered in sepia, via a colorful filter that you won't forget.

Extreme overpriced and mediocre taste with overly generous hand on salt. If I'm paying for the experience, it's even not half way there.
Be the first to ReplyKnowing this spot is behind the same team as Carbone and
Knowing this spot is behind the same team as Carbone and The Grill, you can have good faith that the food will be good to great, at an elevated price. Out of the 3, this was the most pricey, granted I had a full dinner here rather than a few cocktails and bites. Luxurious pricing for luxurious eating (see pics for pricing).At $20 per cocktail we only tried the coconut (comes in a real coconut) and peanut butter, both really good and the peanut butter surprisingly complex and interesting. Then to our bites...Clams and Oysters (3.5/5): I'm not the biggest fan of these anyway, but I liked the sweet neck oysters more than the walrus, and the clams definitely were fishy for me. $4-6 ppTrout roe toast (3.5/5): stunning to look at, yummy to eat but surprisingly lacked in actual trout roe flavor. I wanted a little more pop. $22 for 1 order of 2 piecesUni toast (4.5/5): I appreciated how much santa barbara uni was on here. It is not the highest quality as like a high-end sushi restaurant, but there was no bitterness and I still loved my 4 bites. $30 for 1 order of 2 piecesGoldeneye Snapper (4/5): this buttery fish was just barely seared and paired with smoky japanese mushrooms. Simple great ingredients. A little heavy-handed with the olive oil. $42, comes with 6-7 thinly sliced pieces.Beef Carpaccio (5/5): a hefty amount of sea urchin and caviar dotting a blanket of ultra high-quality incredibly tender beef, this may be the most luxurious thing I've ever eaten. It is an incredible combination served on buttered soft toast. If you're only going to live once (or at least eat here once), get this. $105 for a very large plate. Shareable between 2-4. The interior is beautiful, dimly lit, old world extravagance. Would I come here again? Very unlikely unless it is for a special occasion or on someone else's tab. Was the meal worth it? Depends on what you order. The toasts are quite reasonable, the carpaccio extravagant but probably also takes into account the ingredient quality. Zz's is an experience that made me feel like I was part of the rich club for just a moment, and I definitely did not regret the indulgence.
Be the first to ReplyZZ's Clam Bar absolutely blew our minds.
My brother got us a reservation there as he knew we are seafood lovers, but we had no idea how exclusive this place is. I think there are 3 or 4 small tables & some seating along the wall. I've read the whole place only fits 15 customers. There was a guy outside the door who checks your name & reservation. We weren't on his list so he checked with the chef & we were promptly led past the tables to the bartender in the back.The bartender made us some cocktails, which were all delicious & selected based on choice of fruit which was paired with a specific liquor. I got a coconut cocktail (which had bourbon & was served in a coconut), I think my brother got Grapefruit which had gin, & my fiancé got Pomegranate since he loves scotch. While we were at the bar, we were served oysters with caviar, which were so fresh & we were immediately so excited to start our meal. Once a table cleared, we were sat & the plates started coming. The first was a platter of uni toasts & trout roe toasts. I love uni but the trout roe was amazing. We all agreed that was the stunner. Next, I believe we got a plate of horse mackerel sashimi in this spicy red broth/sauce. It was days later & my fiancé & I were still talking about that broth. Then we got sardines; also delicious. We couldn't believe sardines could taste the way they did. Next was a salad of either octopus or squid (shame on us, we couldn't remember), mushrooms & gooseberries? Very good I think we got a different mackerel dish next, we thought everything was fresh & yummy. No fishiness hereThen we got the biggest scallop we have all ever seen. Seared, brown butter? SO. GOOD. Last savory course was the beef carpaccio with caviar & uni. They served us a side bowl that had shaved tuna & fois gras. What the hell. We couldn't believe what we were eating. Dessert was a coffee cake & madeleine. Perfect ending to this meal. We were thinking going to a place called ZZ's Clam Bar that we were going to be eating clams LOL. This place is amazing for seafood lovers. Or just food lovers. The flavors were balanced but new and exciting at the same time. We would definitely go back & highly recommend. Get the trout roe toast. Just do it.
Be the first to ReplyCame here with a girl friend.
we saw yelp shows they open at 6. So we arrived at 6pm. The security guy asked if I have reservation, then he told me they open at 6:30. when he finds out I don't, he went back in to check and finally let me in. This place is famous for cocktail, all cocktail price at $20/glass. I ordered the pistachio one, which tastes ok. Plus, it's a really small bar area facing the wall.
