Houseman - New York

Very loud music over the speakers for Sunday brunch, but food always impresses, as does the wait staff's knowledge of the menu.

This has become one of our top 5 restaurants in NYC. It has a Swedish flair, their food is so consistently good, and they have biodynamic wines. We went for a little special occasion and I wanted a restaurant that would not disappoint and I was not in the mood for the other 4. So I said HOUSEMAN! I cannot wait until those fried green tomatoes hit the menu in the spring.

A neighborhood place with very good food, welcoming to families. A little too expensive but it must be this up and coming area.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Really interesting menu, everything on it sounded appealing. Loved the clam toast and all of the entrees we had steak, chicken, monkfish. Try the Zapatista cocktail was delicious. Excellent service and atmosphere will definitely be back!

Excellent for dinner with your parents after a long day exploring the city. Feels warm and comfortable but not tired. Quiet to have a real conversation but not too quiet to hear other people’s conversations! Great food. Not michellin star worthy but worth what you pay. I’d gladly return.
