The Consulate Midtown

Yes! Finally, I had a chance to enjoy a proper, generous bone marrow - absolutely delicious! I also tried the ceviche, which was wonderfully fresh and flavorful. I really love the ambience at The Consulate - it feels like stepping back in time into a stylish NYC bistro. The beautiful floor tiles, warm yellowish lighting, and overall vibe make it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet elegant afternoon dinner. A big compliment to the service team as well - attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!

We had an amazing time at the Consulate!! We came to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday and we had the best time! The staff was so attentive and helpful and offered us complimentary champagne for the occasion. We ordered the escargot and oysters to start and they were phenomenal. My husband ordered the short rib cavatelli and I ordered the mushroom gnocchi for dinner. Both were exceptional. We didn’t leave any left over! For dessert we ordered the special (I unfortunately don’t remember the name) but it was delicious. It was similar to a large meringue cookie with cream and fruit. They also surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for my birthday. We can’t recommend this restaurant enough!! They are fantastic!

We decided go to The Consulate for lunch before going on a walking tour a few blocks away. I've always wanted to try a Croque Madame and The Consulate dit not disappoint! The egg was cooked perfectly, the béchamel sauce was smooth and very tasty, the brioche was buttery and crisp around the edges, the ham front and center/very good and the side salad was dressed just right! I also ordered the French Onion Soup and can honestly say it was the best that I've had from any restaurant EVER. The service from the time we entered the restaurant to leaving was outstanding. The servers were patient, knew the menu top to bottom and were very attentive. The atmpsphere from the lighting to music gave the place a chill vibe and the whole experience was relaxing. A wonderful way to begin our pre-Thanksgiving vacation venture. I highly recommend The Consulate for a great meal. It's worth the calories, so make sure you have room to savor the experience!

Happy hour till 630pm. Near our office, so perfect location. 56th St looking good with Whitby hotel, Bread & Butter deli, Dimsum Palace, Korean, ramen. Crowd shuffles in later. So early bird with perks. Ordered much of all... escargot, mushroom & fig pizza, tuna taco, oysters, truffle fries, fish & chips, ceviche... all good but our one pick taco. Alagash, Kronenbourg, IPA beers, happy hour sparkling cava, rose, cocktails spicy mala mala best, old-fashioned good, mocktail pretty... Plating good, tastes good. Kitchen and bars bit tardy at times, but bearable. It's happy hour.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Dining Experience Our evening at The Consulate Midtown was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were embraced by a warm, inviting ambiance—cozy lighting, thoughtful decor, and a setting that feels both refined and intimate. Every detail is clearly curated with intention and taste. We enjoyed a beautifully composed array of dishes including escargot, bone marrow, sushi, Brussels sprouts salad, bass, French onion soup, artichoke, French fries, and a perfectly executed burger. Each plate showcased balance, finesse, and vibrant flavor. Everything was rich in taste yet remarkably light, leaving us deeply satisfied without feeling overwhelmed—a rare and wonderful quality. Every bite reflected precision and passion in the kitchen, and the overall experience was one of pure enjoyment. This is a place where cuisine, atmosphere, and service harmonize effortlessly. A truly memorable dining experience—elegant, delicious, and absolutely worthy of five stars. We will be returning soon.

First and foremost, the best thing about this place is the service. From the moment you come in, they really take care of you. They are amazing and professional! I had the pleasure of being served by Andres, whom I found out afterwards was only in his first day! He was really amazing and is someone with a good and respectful attitude! The food: the food was exquisite. I started off with the French Onion Soup which was super cozy and delicious. The ribeye steak was to die for! The meat was cooked to my liking and was super juicy. I also had The Consulate Pesto which was very green-y and indulging. And finally, capping everything with a Nutella Tiramisu which was a perfect way to end the night! Everything was perfect! Glad I’ve booked this as a Resy Global Dining Member!

A memorable French dining experience — the cuisine was fresh and refined, the ambience warm and inviting, and the service outstanding. Juan was an excellent server, attentive and professional, making the evening truly special. The live jazz trio added great atmosphere, though it can get a bit loud if seated nearby.

Walked in on a Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised with everything -- the ambience, the friendly service, the well-balanced cocktails (love the Lola!) and the perfectly-cooked steaks and sides (love the Brussel Sprouts with Bacon). Kudos to the whole team for a great dinner!
