"Most hotel restaurants exist just so you have a place to settle for when going beyond the lobby feels heroic. That's not the case with Le Parc Bistrobar, a fine dining spot inside the Galleria Park Hotel near Union Square. It's a place you should visit even if you don't have a room booked upstairs, especially if you've got a in mind."
"The dining room is flatteringly lit, mostly by a couple of chandeliers, and the comfy tufted high-backed banquettes have a way of nudging you closer to whoever you're with. The generic elevator music doesn't exactly set the mood, but the tightly packed tables have a happy side effect: They force you to lean in to keep your conversations a little more private."
"The food also does a great job of helping you impress a date. Portions are on the daintier side, but that's just an excuse to pack an extra couple dishes onto your table. We like to start out with the buttery escargots baumé and the caramelized onion tart that we wish was triple the size. Pay attention to the daily specials, but if nothing stands out, the fall-apart braised oxtail is a must-order."
Le Parc Bistrobar is a fine-dining restaurant located inside the Galleria Park Hotel near Union Square. The dining room features flattering chandelier lighting and comfy tufted high-backed banquettes that encourage closeness. Generic elevator music plays, and tightly packed tables make conversations more private. The food favors smaller portions that invite ordering multiple dishes. Recommended starters include buttery escargots baumé and a caramelized onion tart. Pay attention to daily specials, but the fall-apart braised oxtail is a must-order. Desserts are underwhelming; opt for a cheese platter and extra glasses of wine instead. A four-course tasting menu requires a day's notice, but same-day reservations are usually available.
