"The next concept for Danny Meyer’s Intersect By Lexus has arrived, and it’s a 12-course, $115-per-person meal from acclaimed Santiago, Chile chef Sergio Barroso. New dishes include Gunkan sushi, in which the fish acts as the nori, with a rice and spicy miso filling, topped with what “appeared to be Flaming Hot Cheeto crumbs,” Gothamist writes. Other dishes include a shank dumpling, which comes topped with a quail egg, and an oxtail sandwich with pickled vegetables. Though the Chelsea restaurant is a live commercial for the luxury car brand, it’s been well-received by local food critics." - Carla Vianna

"This week, Pete Wells takes on the 'branded experience' of Intersect by Lexus, the new cafe and restaurant operated by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group that features an actual Lexus on its first floor and a menu from renowned French chef Gregory Marchand. At the end of March, Marchand’s menu will be replaced with one by a new chef yet-to-be-chosen by USHG and Lexus, so Wells forgoes the typical star rating just like Eater critic Ryan Sutton, who also reviewed the restaurant this week. As with Sutton, Wells does find some things to like about the corporate experience, writing: 'I’d go well out of my way to eat upstairs at Intersect again.' He calls the food 'engaging' and praises the chef’s take on skate grenobloise." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

Went during Manresa residence. Fantastic service - servers are extremely attentive but not annoyingly so, and were very knowledgeable when providing suggestions. Food was of course impeccable and exceptionally plated. The lounge is also a great area for some small bites and more cocktails!

Intersect is a lovely space in the meatpacking district and offers a wide range of establishments within. I personally found the tasting menu to be a mixed experience, a handful of the dishes were a miss and often focused on presentation over taste. I can't say I would recommend intersect with their current tasting menu, especially when the city has so many unique tasting menus that provide an incredible experience. (I would be interested in a future visit after the chef rotation) As for the lounge I was fairly disappointed, I felt both of the cocktails ordered were average for the cocktail scene in the city. They relied heavily on presentation to attempt differentiating themselves but ultimately fell short.

We love the experimental and creative dining concept of Intersect by Lexus and were there for Manresa, which is currently in residence. Manresa is a 3-star Michelin restaurant, originated from Los Gatos and famous for it's new America & California-style dishes by utilizing local ingredients. We were so excited for this amazing experience here in NYC without the need of traveling across the country. We had our reservation in the dining room and only A La Carte menu was available, where as the tasting menu is only taken by counter seating. It was a little disappointing but we definitely will try to come back for their tasting menu. We had Duck Foie Gras as our Bocales, it was served with Toasted Levain from Manresa Bakery. It was so creamy with various flavors and perfect with the bread. For appetizers, we tried Beef & Oyster Tartare and Herb Panisse & Pomme Paillasson which were so unique and surprising to us. Our friends told us the Roased Aged Duck was a must try and it was one of the best duck dishes we have ever had in our life, the flavor was thick and the texture was tender. In addition, we ordered their Grilled A5 Miyazaki Wagyu as entree, the beef was well-grilled and melted in our mouth immediately. We ended our night with two beautiful desserts: Salted Butter Ice Cream and Chocolate Meringue Millle-Feuille. These looked like an art and the taste was delicate. It was an unforgettable and wonderful night and we highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

I loved the food, the service, and the concept of doing pop-ups of overseas restaurants. The space is also great, though it can get loud as it fills up. The Misihiguene menu was spectacular, great for sharing. By now I've been to three different restaurant rotations and they've all been excellent. I recognize many of the staff, even after the pandemic, and it makes me glad to see familiar faces knowing the quality and the creativity of the experience remain high.

Curb appeal is what initially caught my eye with this place. Their covered parklet dining area is absolutely state-of-the-art and is easily the best one I’ve seen in the year when parklets became ubiquitous in NYC. And, yes, the Japanese luxury car manufacturer does own the place as is evident from both the place’s name and the information on their website. It’s all about hospitality, luxury, and culinary art. We had a reservation at the lounge on the ground floor, and on all three counts Intersect delivered handsomely. The food was unique, its presentation was immaculate, and our server was extremely helpful. Add to that experience inviting ambiance, music, and comfortable lounge seating, and you have the recipe for success. Very well done Lexus!

Lunch here was a suggestion made by my father in law. The space is interesting overall, but felt a little expected and obvious in some ways too. Like they’re trying too hard to make the whole thing scream Lexus at every point - so they throw car parts on the wall and paint them white and call it art. That said, the bathroom was my favorite part and wow, it was exquisite! Completely hands-free experience from the moment you approach the bathroom door.... it slides open gently as you walk in. You step into an elegant and warmly lit room, with fresh flowers and scented candles strategically placed. There are another set of white glossy doors to the left, again opening softly to indicate their vacancy. Inside the stall, I was struck again by the intuitive nature of my surroundings. You’ll just have to go in an experience it for yourself but I think the only other bathroom like this I’ve seen was in Japan! I shouldn’t go on and on about the restroom without also acknowledging the staff and the food.... we went in to celebrate my father in laws birthday - they had customized the menu with his name and the food was excellent! **UPDATED WITH LESS STARS ** December 2019 Not good. We went again and the bathroom wasn’t as cool. The waitress messed up our order. The place was totally dead, and the food was meh.

we went for the grey's chef-in residence, mashama bailey. the food was impeccable, with some the most interesting and at the same time comforting flavors. we got one pasture menu and one water menu and we were glad we got different menus to try both. the foie & grits were as life changing as expected... we LOVED the pickles, so much so that we asked the exec chef for the recipe. he brought out to us the recipe with a hand written note. it was also my bf's bday, and they had a hand written note at the table when we got there. the service was as thoughtful as the food, and it was truly a rare & exceptional dining experience.

Wow is the best word to describe the food and experience we had there. I didn't know what was it when I booked it but it was def one of the best food experience I ever had. Got a taste menu of 12 dishes including two desserts that were out of this world. The restaurant rotates their chef every 4-6 months. This time was a chef from Chile from 040 restaurant (including their wine list)

This pop-up Art installation is full of crystals, mirrors and white hydrangeas. One of the most beautiful instagramable places I have been to this holiday season. Will be available to the public daily from December 12th to January 5th from 11am to 10pm on the third floor of the Intersect by Lexus building. Worth checking out and taking a few pics. Super beautiful in images! And the best part, it is FREE!
