FYC/NYC

Went here with my wife and two friends. We had a great experience all around. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and that was all surrounded by a fun and classy atmosphere. The meatballs are amazing and are an item I’d get every time here. I’m still thinking about them a day later. The mushroom tacos take umami to a new level and will be satisfying for anyone. For the record, a normal serving is 3 but we got 4 to share. The roasted chicken was succulent and the wild sole in papillote was buttery. The cocktails are also a standout. The Best Man’s Speech was classy and made us order a few more. Look forward to going back and bringing others!

This new restaurant is a gem and a great addition to the neighborhood. Everything we ordered was very tasty, and the drinks were well crafted and refreshing. Highly recommend the meatballs, the branzino, the steak tartare, and a personalized cocktail! The staff is very welcoming with positive vibe only. Added bonus, there is a patio in the back. Awesome atmosphere and amazing experience, will be back soon!

I chose this place for my first meal in NYC after poring over many menus, and was mostly captivated by the "blackpink shrooms" menu item which had hen of the woods mushrooms. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Monday evening -- there were only two other parties there while we dined. The service was great and the ambience was elegant and pleasant. There was one standout dish, and a couple that I thought could be improved. Great, would get again - Wild sole en papillote ($39): This dish was amazing, no notes. The fish is perfectly tender and flavorful, the sliced potatoes underneath are vanishingly thin and melt in your mouth, and the charred lemon adds a nice zing. I'm inspired to eat more sole. Good, might get again - Scallop crudo ($21): This dish had great flavor, though maybe was missing a crunchy element. - Mushroom tacos ($19): The mushrooms were very well seasoned and cooked. This would be great for a vegetarian mushroom lover. Wouldn't get again - FYC wagyu burger ($29): While this dish had good flavor, the patty was rather tough and lean, which was unexpected for a supposedly wagyu burger. - Parmigiano broth with riccia ($25): Based on the menu description I had no idea this was a pasta dish. It was very mild in flavor, and tasted like cheese water (though perhaps I should've expected that from a "parmesan broth". - Spring beans with crispy prosciutto ($10): The prosciutto was nice but the string beans had very little flavor and were rather crunchy. - Blackpink shrooms ($12): Unfortunately the dish that got me to come to the restaurant fell short of my expectations. No flavor in the mushrooms (which was surprising given how flavorful the mushroom tacos were!). Overall I loved the sole fillet, but most of the other items didn't wow me. The cocktails are on the drier side, so the bartender made us a custom hibiscus drink that was pretty good, which we appreciated. I probably wouldn't come back here, but I'm glad I tried it!

The moody atmosphere was my favorite thing about this place. The food pretty good and great wine selection is great. I’d like to come back for the stuffed mushrooms.

We were able to dine with FYC last night on their opening weekend. My wife and I met a friend at the bar before we sat down for dinner. Bret, Xanthus, LJ, and Matt welcomed us warmly, and immediately made us feel like family. I was “trying” their local Pilsner (all night) and the ladies enjoyed their Naomi Campbell cocktail and rosés. I had full intentions on eating inside with the awesome 80’s music flowing, but the night was so nice that we decided to dine outside in their back patio- wow! So quiet and romantic- even when it was full. LJ took amazing care of us, telling us about various offerings that he thought that we may be interested in. Ryan, as support, was a stud! We ended up opting for the strawberry salad to start, along with meatballs. Both were amazing. Then we shared their 22oz Bone In Ribeye with Salsa Verde, it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. Lastly we decided we should get some more healthy stuff to wash down the steak and ordered the Broccoli Rabe (Xanthus’ suggestion), Hasselback potatoes, and Green Beans with Prosciutto Cracklin. Everything tasted incredible, our compliments to Chef Mona. We ended up finishing our night at the bar- we didn’t want to leave. The place had started to fill up and the vibe was perfect for an adult Saturday night with our new family here at FYC. Highly recommend you stop by and hang out for some drinks. A couple from NC had visited the night before, and they were already back- stating that “this was their new place”. It’s that kind of joint.

So happy that this place opened on our block! We have had a great time every time we go here- friendly staff, unique cocktails, and the food is absolutely killer. The crudo and the mushroom tacos are 💯 Also, very worth pointing out the absolutely daring wine menu. So many places have such boring selections - Sav Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and maybe from Italy or France. But not here! The wines are eclectic and from regions that don’t typically show up often. They are all wonderful and unique and it makes the wine an experience. You must give this place a try!

Lots of great suggestions from the bartender on drinks (we didn't have food), tried an interesting US chardonnay from Virginia. Fun staff. Thin bar and back has more space with opening to outside between the buildings.

I brought my mom to FYC for an early Mother’s Day dinner and it couldn’t have been more lovely. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door making us feel like we were part of their family. The decor is chic and sophisticated, but the warm glow of the lighting makes it feel warm and cozy. And the food… oh my goodness… everything was delicious and eclectic right down to the specially spiced butter that came with the bread at the beginning. Highly recommend. Stop by, they’ll make you feel like you’re part of the family they choose.

Last day in nyc My last meal and drinks I stop in for cocktails and dinner I order Micro green salad Bone marrow And 2 cocktail Pretty good nice ambience

Truly one of the best food and service experiences Ive had in a while. I feel like sometimes in NYC everything is so meh but as soon as we sat down, everything was great! We sat outside on the patio too which was so nice and quiet. And honestly the perfect amount of light at the table even those the patio itself was dark, I never felt like it was too dark. First one guy came over to discuss the wine list and then gave us an awesome recommendation for a bottle. He had such a lovely fun energy about him, he just made the evening start off fun. Our waiter was already great and we never felt rushed, they really let us just enjoy ourselves. Then we started with the steak tartar and the baguette with butter. Let me say they do NOT skimp on the steak tartar and gave us even two little spoons to scoop it. There is only 3 slices of bread so I'm glad we got the baguette too but they did accommodate us with more bread later to finish the butter. Then we split the burger and the pasta which doesn't say pasta on the menu but it's the parmesan broth thing. SO good and my friend said the burger was one of the best she's had. It really was delicious. We live in NJ and Brooklyn but FYC is my new go to spot in Manhattan! I can't wait to come back.

Lots of great suggestions from the bartender on drinks (we didn't have food), tried an interesting US chardonnay from Virginia. Fun staff and knowledgeable about their drinks. Thin bar and back has more space with opening to outside between the buildings. Didn't try the food this time, but will have to come back again!

I was so excited to discover that someone had finally come into the old Petite Abeille space! I think FYC NYC bears a ton of potential, but didn't quite stick the landing during our evening repast. There's a lot that's going right here. The space is beautiful, the front-of-house staff are delightful, and the concept is on point. I'm not sure if they're going for a heavily queer-coded vibe, but that's what I picked up on, and I am here for it! Our server did mention that they'd recently opened and were taking advantage of the slower summer months to soft launch, which makes a ton of sense to me. I'm hoping that they'll be able to dial the bar and kitchen in before we make our way back around again. Drink-wise, I recall thinking their cocktail list was pretty slim and leaned heavily toward clear spirits. Whatever we ended up ordering was pretty forgettable, which doesn't mean much in a city teeming with truly exceptional craft cocktails. I see other reviewers raving about their wine list, so future diners might be better off sticking to the vino. Food started off pretty strong with an excellent bone marrow. The portion was generous, and the ratio of marrow to crostini was bang on. Sadly, everything else underwhelmed from there. The chianti braised veal shank tacos fell flat (I will admit to having high standards here, because I've been making sous vide carnitas tacos for the past several years), the blackpink mushrooms were soggy (and I luuuuuurve me some hen-of-the-woods), and the sole en papillote was so heavily oversalted that I felt obligated to mention it to our server. At nearly $40, I was taken aback that an ostensibly straightforward fish dish would be off the mark. Broadly, we had a pleasant dining experience, but I can't authentically give a rave review when the food was merely okay -- especially at the price point. NYC (and, especially, Manhattan) offers far too many outstanding eateries to stay afloat on just acceptable cuisine. Crossing my fingers that our experience was the unfortunate edge case, because I'd love to see FYC thrive!

Great food and fantastic service. The ambiance was very mellow and we will be back once the heaters are set up on the patio!

I spied Steak Tartare on the menu...it was one of the best version I've ever had. Pomme frites w/ lemon aoili were a perfect accompianment. A glass of Aglianico was sublime. Service was relaxed yet just right. My husband had the Wagyu burger--he said it was good not great. I can't wait to go back & try some other dishes. The only down side....when I looked at their menu online, no prices were listed and almost decided not to try it but one reviewer mentioned it wasn't too expensive.

this cocktail bar and restaurant just opened and it's an adorable spot with a killer wine selection, amazing cocktails, wonderful food, and truly kind staff. to drink i got the Girls on Film, kind of their take on a Sptriz, which was super refreshing and totally unique! the wine selection was the most impressive to me. they have stuff from ALL over the world and some really cool stuff i hadn't heard of. so id recommend if you're looking for some cool wine! the food menu is super fresh and really unique too!they also offer a tasting menu for $105, which is 4 courses that the chef picks. looked like an incredible deal to me as all the food looked great and the staff is really great so you know they will pick great stuff for you. beautiful inside and they have an stunning patio outback. great for date night or to stop by with some friends for snacks and wine!

Amazing food, wine and service. Great space with patio seating. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially loved the meatballs, sole, veal shank which was a special.. as well as cristini and scallop crudo as starters.

We loved our experience at FYC/NYC. The food was fantastic. The service was exceptional. There is a fun vibe in the restaurant thanks to the staff and the well-curated dining room. The meatballs are a true standout and a dish I'd get every time. The parm pasta was excellent and the mushroom tacos are filled with umami. Those are mushroom tacos for meat eaters too. The chicken was moist and the sole in papillote was buttery. The cocktails are a must here as well. Perfectly crafted and classy. Look forward to going back here!

Food and drinks were delish! Service was excellent. We got the mushroom tacos, wagyu burger and the pasta - all were great. Berries sabayon for dessert - incredible. I was in the mood for a citrus vodka cocktail and they whipped one up using house ingredients - which I loved. It's a new restaurant in the area and it seems like they're still figuring things out - the back room desperately needs better lighting because it's very dark at night (but if you go before sundown that won't be a problem because of their big gorgeous windows) and their plating needs to be upgraded (specially the mushroom tacos). But would def suggest giving them a try.

Incredibly nice staff. Beautiful space. Music levels are just right. Food was excellent across the board; particularly high marks for the roast chicken. This place should be packed every night and the only reason it's not is the slightly vacant neighborhood. Go there now, bring friends and keep a great little restaurant open.

I brought my mom to FYC for an early Mother's Day dinner and it couldn't have been more lovely. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door making us feel like we were part of their family. The decor is chic and sophisticated, but the warm glow of the lighting makes it feel warm and cozy. And the food... oh my goodness... everything was delicious and eclectic right down to the specially spiced butter that came with the bread at the beginning. Highly recommend. Stop by, they'll make you feel like you're part of the family they choose.

This was my 4th visit to FYC and this time I brought a friend visiting from Kansas. We had an amazing dinner experience on the patio. What an unexpected breath of fresh air and charm in the middle of Manhattan. We started with Mona's Triple Threat Meatballs. Truly a favorite. My friend raved about his choice of the Coffee crusted Filet Mignon. I was tempted to have the Wagyu burger again - I so love it - but wanted to experience more of the menu and tried, and was delighted with, the Wild Sole in Papillote. A special favorite of ours was the blistered zucchini and cherry tomatoes. The welcome and service was excellent and accommodating. We only had a little over an hour to eat as we had Broadway tickets. Our server explained the menu options clearly and had the food out in plenty of time for us to enjoy our dinner and get to the show. No time, though, for dessert. Next visit. Highly recommend FYC.

Staff are so welcoming and attentive. Perfect for a date night. I've had several dishes, having been twice since their recent opening.

Point in New York. I've seen a lot of restaurants come and go. Last night, I had the wonderful experience of dining. At FYC NYC. Everything, was top. The food was delicious the wine fantastic the ambience the music everything was so wonderful. I do hope you try it. You won't be disappointed. It is truly a gem. Definitely check it out!

Always try to check out a new restaurant whenever we're down here in the City. FYC was a great surprise. Love the patio. It felt spacious, which is kinda rare in the city, and super relaxing. The food and the service were also outstanding. Highly recomend.

FYC is a beautiful space and the food, drinks and service were all top notch. Their bartender made us some fantastic cocktails and their sommelier picked out some perfect wines for us. The food was excellent across the board, but notable favorites were the scallop crudo, the wild sole, and the parmigiana both and riccia. The sole in particular was incredible, almost melting in the mouth. The mushrooms are also a must order from the sides. We sat on the patio which they've done a great job of building out - it was easy to forget we were in New York City, and the exposed brick and beautifully lit and laid out inside felt classy and elegant without being pretentious. Finally, a note on the service: our waiter was attentive, without being intrusive, did a superb job walking us through the menu - his enthusiasm was infectious, and made some great recommendations. In short, we had a wonderful evening and already have a reservation to return.
