“Tom Waits said, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”
In the restaurant world, Mr. Waits’s truth is applied at Aretsky’s Patroon.

A restaurant whose wine offering is sufficient to let it just pass muster with the food served is the last thing you’ll experience at Patroon. My brother and I had dinner on October 3rd, and if the devil is in the details, the devil is also an excellent chef, sous, and kitchen staff.

The crab louie was perfect (beautifully prepared crab, herbs, avocado, and a sauce I’d buy by the jar (hint, hint)), as were the onion rings. My brother’s burger – something I’d have to have taken apart and eaten with a knife and fork – had me briefly buyers remorsing. It was obviously something prepared with high quality beef, seasoned well, cooked not only to his liking but to ensure the meat was recognized, if you know what I mean.

While neither of us cocktailed, the wine list is meaningful and the bar team knows what it’s doing. I’ve had the privilege of attending jazz at the Rooftop Bar, where I have benefited from the staff’s composing, mixing, and pouring skills.

Shouts must be made to Gene, Melissa, Jackson, and José Luis Condé, whose presence and actions make my visits to Aretsky’s Patroon more meaningful and, obviously, better.

Aretsky’s Patroon’s aesthetics are simultaneously classic and modern – decor, design, comfort, service, vibe. The food is exceptional. The service is impeccable. I feel very grateful to be a guest here.”

“Mindblown. I will come back 100% every dish was amazing. Fresh and very flavorful. Hospitality was amazing too. We weren’t rushed to leave. The owner stopped by at the table we felt like family. The wine was top notch! Loved everything.”

“I was in the city with my hubby, and he made lunch reservations here—great choice! The vibe was definitely businessy, with lots of suits, white shirts and power lunches happening (totally expected for a weekday in NYC). Prices were on the higher side, but hey, it’s the city!
Now, the food? Absolutely delicious. We went with the prix fixe menu, which turned out to be an amazing deal for the quality. The staff was super professional and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Would I come back? Absolutely! Next time, I’d love to check out the rooftop when the weather’s nice. Can’t wait!”

“Had a wonderful dinner with a group of four. Made a last minute, late night reservation and we ended up closing the place down. Our server was very professional and knowledgeable and the host came by our table to chat for a while. It was chilly so we didn’t consider the rooftop. The restaurant at that time was somewhat busy but not noisy. Very chill atmosphere. Food was fantastic!! ”

“A destination for Steak in NYC. Need a place for a business dinner, a celebratory night out, or have a large party? I don’t think I could recommend a better dining experience in the neighborhood. Steaks are incredible and beautifully presented. Cooked to perfection. Eat family style, get the Cote de Boeuf, get the sides, get the dessert. It’s that kind of place. Over the top is what you should be doing. I hate Lobster Mac & Cheese, it ruins lobster. Patroon’s Lobster Mac & Cheese is a delight. The Brussels sprouts are best I’ve had ever. Tart tatin is incredible. A must get. And then the steaks. Filet mignon is too lean for me normally, at Aretsky’s Patroon is perfection. The Cote de Boeuf is immaculate and of course they present it, then slice it. Some of the nicest service staff and ownership who swung by and was beyond gracious. Forgot to mention cocktails were 10/10 good too. My party complimented the wine, although I didn’t drink it. Amazing. Worth a trip.”
