The reviews had it right. The ambiance was great and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the 7 course tasting menu. Great wine selections as well.

The atmosphere and ambiance here are outstanding, literally one of the best in New York. The food however, is just mediocre both in quality and quantity. It is way, way overpriced for what you get. I would recommend just hanging by the bar and taking in the atmosphere with a few drinks.

Such a great experience! Wanted a nice place to celebrate our 17th Anniversary and One if by Land was perfect! Food was amazing, dimly lit so was nice and cozy and very quiet for conversation. Only single critique is about something that was complimentary....for our anniversary they brought out a plate with “Happy Anniversary” writing in chocolate syrup with two 1 inch brownie bites and two 1 inch chocolate chip cookie bites. Sweet gesture but if you’re dropping $300 on dinner for two they could throw in at least a respectable complimentary dessert or even a glass of champagne. Btw we still ordered 2 desserts that were amazing! I started to upload a photo showing the pitiful complimentary dessert bites but decided I didn’t want this review to be about that, this place is incredible and you should go!!!

Outstanding and the ambience is unbelievable.

We were celebrating our anniversary. They brought out a special dessert for us! Outstanding service & food!

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary and my 75th birthday and this was the perfect place. A perfect balance between up-scale and warm and friendly. The food presentation was great and the taste was superb! Our waiter was helpful and attentive to every detail. The hostess welcomed us like family and followed up with us though out the night. It was one of the best meals we have ever had.

Almost perfect service (it always can be better, right?), outstanding appetizer and fabulous entrees!

Superb! Good atmosphere, food and service . I highly recommend it.

The staff, ambiance and owner made this a very special night!!

Anniversary dinner....Outstanding in every department! A true special occasion gem. Extremely romantic!

This place was a wonderful experience and very delightful.

This restaurant has it all ... its beautiful, historic, amazing food and drinks and you can enjoy the people you are with without shouting across the table!
The lamb and beef Wellington were beyond delicious 💝

Food and service were outstanding at this restaurant. A table of business people close by made the noise level a bit higher than what I suspect is normal. While it's a little pricey overall I would definitely recommend it for a special occasion. It is a fine restaurant with friendly, capable staff and excellent food.

definitely recommended and it's a perfect place to go if you really like romantic environment! I love it so much!

Great dining experience. Very romantic setting. Great service and very good food.

Anniversary

Another magic evening here. One of the most romantic spots in Manhattan. Outstanding food and service. Expensive, but well worth it for that special event.

My wife and I had been married for only two days and I researched looking for a romantic spot for dinner. It was a home run. In Greenwich Village the restaurant has an other-worldly charm, top-notch service and fantastic food. I had the Beef Wellington.

We were seated at the garden window which was perfect, especially for a romantic evening. My wife told me One If By Land was the best choice and I agree.

Lovely restaurant.
Good food
Excellent service

Booth with ripped upholstery? (explanation given by waiter: "this place is old and needs to be renovated"). A waiter who couldn't describe the food properly? These are things that would barely fly at a TGI Fridays, let alone a place that charges upwards of $100/person for food only. The ambience is nevertheless romantic, and most of the food was quite good (not great). But for these prices, I can think of several superior options to celebrate our next special occasion.

Great time with beautiful ambiance and world class food.

What a lovely place! Couldn't find a more romantic place than this in the entire country. The waiters were very friendly and polite. I had heard the food is not very special but it's not true! The food was amazing. Very high quality food in terms of design and taste. Every bite was like a festival of flavor in my mouth. Truly an enjoyable experience! The environment and ambiance cannot be explained through words or captured in photos. The dimmed lighting inside, a beautiful garden outside, a historic architecture with unique artwork on the walls, accompanied with live solo piano music had made this place a designing masterpiece. Maria, the soul behind all these beauty, was absolutely a kind and adorable woman. She made sure the service was good all through the night. At the end, she let us walk through her garden where I proposed to my now fiance. I'm glad I made the right decision and proposed to my beautiful wife-to-be and picked this place for one of the most important moments of my life. You make the right decision too, check out this place as soon as you can!

Fantastic experience. Each course was amazing, the service was excellent without being forced and the restaurant could not be lovelier.

Cozy dining area with plenty of elbow room. The service was non-rushed and very attentive. The food, however, was lacking. Spectacular in appearance but fell short in the flavor department. Several dishes needed a sauce to tie the components together and a few contained ingredients that did not pair well together.

The place is so romantic, I had the urge to propose to my partner across the table.

Maria was the perfect inn keeper, corrected what was needed and insured we had a great romantic evening...

Very elevate- food was outstanding and the service was great

Incredibly romantic dining, attentive and professional wait staff.

Had eaten at One if by Land the first time I came to NYC--in 1985. Never forgot it and was pleased to have the opportunity to dine there again. Lovely atmosphere, excellent food/wine/drinks and impeccable service. Would highly recommend it.

This is my favorite place to dine in New York! I love the white roses on each table as well as the cozy, elegant atmosphere!

Amazing we loved it and will go every time we're in nyc

I have not been to this restaurant for a number of years. It has changed, in my opinion, for the worse. Service was slow, and prix fix is the only choice. If it was in the league of Chanterelle or Le Cirque it would be worth the price. It will be a long time before I go back.

For the price the service was average. For the price 3 courses is one course too little.
Food was good but not for the price, we expected more. Also it was half empty..its losing its charm.

OIBL TIBS is a consistently excellent restaurant. From the warm welcome at the door to the last " good night," everything is wonderful. The oysters are great, the veal chop as well. But everything is excellent. Of course, the room is one of the most beautiful anywhere.

The atmosphere matched our expectations and my Halibut was cooked to perfection and very tasty. My bulgogi appetizer was also great as was our deserts. We look forward to returning soon.

The place was magical in ambience. Food and service exceptionally good. Totally delightful!

most romantic restaurant in NYC....been going for 20+ years....always a treat...

It was a unforgettable night at your restaurant, the food was awesome. Thank you for everything. Best romantic restaurant in NYC!

Our nuclear family came together to celebrate my Dad's 81st and my 51st. This is a lovely quiet intimate spot for a special occasion

We went on a Thursday night . It was not crowded . The atmosphere is very romantic and the service was wonderful. I ordered the pasta and crab appetizer which I honestly did not like at all. However, my salmon entree more than made up for it.
