We had our anniversary dinner at L’Abeille, and it was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, and the service was superb. Despite making a last-minute reservation and being seated at the bar, the service was personalized and friendly. Jose, our waiter, ensured all our needs were met, and we even got to meet the chef!

Had the most incredible experience at L’abeille. We had chef’s menu with wine pairing, all dishes were unique and perfect portioned. Special thanks to our sommelier who took us on a wine journey throughout the world with wine pairing and shared his knowledge with us. The service was exceptional and not pretentious. 10/10

Lovely 5-Star Experience This upscale Michelin-star restaurant truly delivered! The interior is elegant but not intimidating—guests ranged from business casual to formal, making it clear the space welcomes everyone. The food was artfully crafted, and the flavors were just as impressive as the presentation. The bar served top-tier drinks, and as someone who appreciates a well-made cocktail, I could tell the ingredients were high quality and likely house-made. The service stood out. Multiple servers worked seamlessly to ensure we were taken care of, balancing friendly conversation with giving us space when my husband and I were chatting. A special touch was the chef personally presenting one of the courses—such a memorable moment! A couple of things to note: The experience took about three hours, longer than I usually prefer, but honestly, you can’t rush art. I also tend to favor having one server, but the team approach kept everything smooth and consistent. Overall, this place nailed it—beautiful ambiance, warm service, and food that truly lived up to the hype. It’s an experience worth savoring. Highly recommend!

A phenomenal dinner. The menu was set and we had the choice between a 5 and 7 course meal. We did the shorter of the two. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the pasta with truffle (was an optional add on dish for 130). The wine pairing was interesting as it included one glass of sake. And the ambiance and service was great! At the very end you get a goodie bag of cookies to take home. Highly recommend

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Restaurant l'abeille and it was one of the best dining experiences of our lives. The concept of Japanese influenced French cuisine was intriguing to us, and Chef Mitsu and his team did not disappoint. ALL of the dishes were outstanding. The tasting menu was so dynamic and with most of the dishes, had amazingly unexpected textures and flavors. They were beautifully presented and perfectly paced. My favorite of the evening? The Amadai en "Herrisson" aka "hedgehog" japanese amadai tile fish. The signature cocktails and mocktails were so creative, beautifully presented, and matched the menu (we are not big wine drinkers so opted out of the wine pairing). And the service! From the time we entered the restaurant (30 minutes early btw) we were treated like VIPs by the front of the house and in such a warm and genuine manner. We were seated and immediately greeted by our server Laura, who by the way was literally our in-restaurant concierge throughout the near 3 hour experience. Walked us through the menu, drinks, preparation, and service, and found the perfect times to chat us up. It was the same with her team and the manager(?), who were constantly on the move at our table and throughout the restaurant in a synchronized fashion and went out of their way to make us feel like the center of attention, but without being pushy. The ambience! Felt modern yet classic, sharp yet warm, stylish yet comfortable, elegant yet inviting. Tough to balance all those elements but for us, it worked. Thank you l'abeille for a wonderful and memorable experience!

Had the most special dinner with my fiance. Every single staff member was extra attentive and the food from the tasting menu was exquisite. I would highly recommend l'abeille for any special occasions you have for a memorable night. It is on the pricier end (400 pp including tax & tip), but I would say it's worth it.

The tasting menu at the bar was an excellent experience. Every dish felt familiar yet packed with twists and a beautiful presentation. The way the chef plays with textures and flavors kept every bite interesting. The eggplant dish was fun to eat, with many ways to combine the individual parts. I won't spoil the fun of discovering it. The only disappointment was the eel, which I actually ordered on the side since I'm a big fan, but it felt flatter compared to everything else. The service was good and the space was very airy. I went early so there were very few people at the tables.

An exceptional journey of taste and sophistication you’ll cherish forever. L’abeille always exceeds my expectation. Of all the Michelin-starred restaurants I've visited in NYC, without a single doubt, this is my favorite. The artistry of the chef, the delightful flavors, the refined yet intimate setting, and the exceptional service all combined to deliver an experience beyond compare. It’s an experience not to be missed. You will not regret.
