Frevo

Excellent food & service, but skip the add-ons I’ve been to Frevo a few times now, and it consistently delivers very good, beautifully presented food with impeccable service. Entering through an art gallery sets a unique, intimate tone for the whole experience, and it’s one of the touches that makes Frevo feel special. The cooking was excellent across the board: the fish was perfectly prepared, and the beef was spot-on. Their signature transition course — a 36-month Comté served over a scoop of honey ice cream — is an unusual pairing that works incredibly well. Dessert was also outstanding: a chocolate cake with wasabi ice cream that was both creative and delicious. Their wine selection is strong and fairly priced, especially considering this is a Michelin-starred restaurant. My only real complaint is the upselling of additional dishes. This time, for the first time, I tried one of their extra options — a scallop dish with white truffle. Not only was it extremely expensive (about a third of the full menu price), but it was also underwhelming, with a sauce that overshadowed both the scallop and the truffle. My friend added uni to one of his dishes for a similarly steep markup and felt the same way. In past visits, skipping these add-ons actually led to a better overall experience. This is usually a 5 stars for me, but only got 4 stars this time. I would still go back, but will definitely skip the add-ons next time.

We enjoyed out special date night at Frevo this last weekend. I had noticed the gallery while walking in the neighborhood and was curious when I saw that there was some sort of restaurant in the back. I was wondering if the evening was going to be more about artistry than good food but we were pleasantly surprised that the level of cuisine and wine being served was as good as the artistry. The arrival and being met by the host in the gallery space was actually a good way for us to settle into the space and get to know our host and the history of the artist. It was a very personalized and engaging reception from the start. Once shown to our table, we appreciated the intimate and sophisticated space. The music was well curated and at a good volume so we could converse but also appreciate the custom playlist (great jazz inspired list). We had the premium wine pairing along with the non-alcoholic pairing. Both were well chosen to highlight the food. The entire staff was knowledgeable and professional without being overly fussy or too cold. We enjoyed seeing the entire chef's team cook within the cozy space. It felt like we were at an intimate dinner party. We also left quite full. Dessert was one of our favorite dishes and a great ending to the night. We will definitely mark this restaurant as one of our neighborhood gems.

Frevo is a fun, unique spot tucked inside a gallery that almost feels like a speakeasy. Starting with the highlights: the ambience, the energy of the staff, and the service were all 10/10. The space is artsy, modern, and genuinely enjoyable to spend an evening in. The dinner began on a strong note—the first two dishes were especially tasty—but the rest of the tasting course didn’t resonate with me as much, with a few items feeling a bit salty or less memorable. That said, I’m definitely open to returning when the menu changes. For now, I’d give this experience a solid 4.2/5.

Frevo is magic. Period. Hidden behind an art gallery, the experience already special before you even sit down. Counter seating makes everything intimate and focused. Chef’s precision, timing, flavors… everything is on point. Dishes are creative but never confusing. Each course makes sense, emotionally and technically. Staff is incredibly polished but warm, explains with passion, not script. 正直、今のNYで一番「完成度高い」と思った。 Frevo is not just dinner, it’s performance, art, and memory together. Absolutely must-visit in NYC.

Frevo NYC is, without question, one of the most exceptional dining experiences in the city. What amazes me every time is how they constantly tweak and evolve the menu yet somehow everything remains flawless. Every dish feels like a new discovery, but with the same depth of flavor and precision that makes Frevo truly world-class. The service is impeccable from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, warm without being overfamiliar exactly what you expect from a Michelin-star restaurant, but executed even better. And the food… honestly, it’s the best I’ve had in NYC. I’ve been to countless Michelin-starred spots across the city, but nothing compares to the creativity, balance, and sheer deliciousness that Frevo delivers consistently. The ambience ties it all together sexy, intimate, romantic yet never stuffy or pretentious. It feels special without trying too hard. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of flawless cuisine, top-tier service, and a beautifully curated atmosphere, Frevo is in a league of its own. Highly recommended.

Of all the amazing tasting-menu restaurants in NYC, Frevo is the one I keep finding myself coming back to again and again. As soon as you enter the art gallery vestibule that hides this speakeasy-style restaurant, you know you’re in for a special and unique dining experience. The creativity of the courses here are unmatched by anyone, short of Atomix. Every dish I’ve ever had at Frevo is beautiful, surprising, and (most importantly) delicious. The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is also a standout of Frevo. Another reason I keep coming back is because of them. Special shoutout to Quentin! Frevo is the kind of place where you know it will be a homerun every time you visit. And its cool ambiance and creative style will make you want to bring a friend to impress. Would highly recommend a visit!

An unforgettable dining experience at FREVO! This place may look like an art gallery at first, but behind the curtain is one of the best Michelin-starred dining experiences I’ve ever had. I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with a close friend, and everything — from the atmosphere to the service — was exceptional. The wine pairing was perfectly balanced — a true tasting that complemented each dish without being overwhelming. My favorite course was the carrot dish with red curry, multiple textures of carrot, and almond ice cream. Yes, almond ice cream — and it completely worked! We even got to meet the head chef, who was incredibly gracious and took time out of his busy night to chat with us and take a photo. The staff made the night feel personal and special from start to finish. FREVO absolutely deserves its Michelin star — and more. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an intimate, beautifully curated dining experience in NYC.

Frevo was top-notch. The food hit all three of my Michelin restaurant requirements: edibility, creativity, amazing service, and great ambiance. The food was tasty, yet interesting 😋 And the bar seating was very nice since you could see how the chefs were cooking in real-time! I highly recommend and look forward to going against sometime. The price was expensive...far more than $100 a person, especially with a wine pairing. The food rotates by season. And it's not too fancy that you need a sports coat.
