We walked into Esca without a reservation on a Wednesday evening. It’s a lovely restaurant and I was under dressed in shorts and sandals. However the hostess did not hesitate to seat us. She asked if we would like the patio and we said yes because it was such a gorgeous NYC night. The patio has the most beautiful fountain, plants and lighting. Our waiter David came to our table and offered us a cocktail. A few minutes later a complimentary appetizer arrived which was a dish of assorted olives in oil and a white bean bruschetta. Both were delicious. We then ordered the grilled baby romaine, the gnocchi and the bronzino fish for two. The salad was a nice portion and we shared that. Neither of us were impressed. It lacked flavor and was a little overdressed. Moving on, they split the gnocchi for us and they were heavenly. So light and flavorful. I could have eaten much more. The best I have ever had. The bronzino followed. Perfectly deboned, light and delicious. David our server was very nice and professional throughout our meal, as were the other bussers.
We finished our meal will a decaf cappuccino, grappa and a lemon sorrento cake. The cake was super light, with crispy meringue and a very lemony sorbet. It was the perfect ending to our meal.

Superb service !!! Superb food !!! I have to say I was a bit skeptical about this place after reading different reviews which a lot of them mentioned bad service Our friends invited us for dinner and we had to go. Loved everything about it starting with a great bottle of wine and finishing with unusual dessert (roasted apricot) Worth the money !

8:15 reservations for 4 on a Tuesday. Pretty full outside, we were seated inside.
So many servers helping we didn’t know who our waiter was. Wine n drink menu, water poured, presented with a white bean bruschetta and our drink order taken by a manager or perhaps the wine guy.
We order 3 raw selections and both kinds of oysters.
I had a special pan sautéed Skate, it was excellent. First time to try it however. I forgot what everyone had.
They did not clean or prepare fish in the middle of the restaurant like in some reviews say. We did have to order entrees when we order raw however.
I’m sure it was tremendously expensive but I didn’t get the check.

What a horrid HORRID waiter we had. We came in with children and he was offended by their presence. He lectured us on our food choices and said it was restaurant policy that everyone has to order an entrée — ummmm, our bill came to over $ 300 so what was he worried about? His tip? Of which seemingly he thought he deserved more than his 20 percent because he charged my card TWICE. When the credit card rep and I called to rectify, the person who answered the call said «you are over-​reacting» and hung up. Food was okay, nothing to give stars to here — given the quality of restaurants we have at our tips here in NY. Unilocal makes you give one star — given a choice, because of this waiter, I would give zero stars. NEVER again.

Very disappointing. I don’t usually write reviews of restaurants, but this time I have to since it was really bad.
I went there with my husband for his birthday dinner. Even though we made a reservation we needed to wait 20min. Also we needed to wait quite a while to get appetizer. Service was not good at all. Food was not good as it should be for the price. I will not recommend this restaurant, and I’ll never go back.

Good but not great. Enjoyed the appetizers but mains were not memorable. Monkfish had no flavor besides the sauce. Great service and close to theaters.

You’re no allowed to order your appetizers without ordering entrée at the same time. The chef won’t allow it.
Kinda salty, overpriced.

Not the biggest fan of this place, plus super expensive for the quality of their food!
My husband and I split the casareccia pasta (the shrimp wasn’t fresh and the sauce just didn’t taste right) and the black bass for two. The fish was alright, but I had the same thing at fig & olive the night before, so it paled in comparison.
I was super disappointed with the meal, especially for what we were paying.

I’m 100% Italian and i can assure you that the food you can have at ESCA is far away to be considered a GOOD italian food. Pasta is terrible, the wine list is ridiculous and overpriced, some wines are branded «Bastianich»…what the hell it means???
So please avoid this place… but if you want, go there and try by yourself… if you know what italian food is!!! You can find so many better restaurants outside Manhattan (Brooklyn — Queens) where you can have authentic italian food for less than half the prices of ESCA (i.e: Via Vai in Astoria or Aurora in Williamsburg)

I was incredibly disappointed with this visit to ESCA. I dined here a few years ago and had an amazing experience. Every dish was superb. During this visit, everything was terrible. I was treating an alum and had raved about my previous experience prior to dinner so, of course, I was a bit embarrassed. I can’t say I will bring any more donors or alumni back to ESCA.

The visit to Esca was a mixed bag… went with a family group after theatre matinée last Wednesday
On average can’t give it higher than three stars.
The good to great. Oysters were fantastic and could have been a five. Bread was also a solid four stars to five. Service was very attentive so also a 4 to 5. Others really enjoyed the pasta with urchin tomato cream — very rich and wonderful. Gnocchi was thoroughly enjoyed and not all pasty — yay!
The not so good
The waiter was not fully versed with menu. One companion is gluten intolerant and specifically asked (more than once) of wheat content of dishes, she was assured no breeding but when dinner arrived the fish (black fish) was flour crusted — not gluten free. Replacement dish was halibut, same as I ordered. Very underwhelming for high price and based on restaurant reputation. Fish was not fresh tasting and bland. Side lentil smear was also underwhelming as was half bite of onion. Don’t order this dish unless u like wasting ur resources and appetite. Only positive was replacement halibut plate was comped. The winter vegetable salad wAs delightful though not abundant with winter veggies.
I didn’t see it but wine list was extensive. I would have expected more from the overall menu. There was no flexibility for non vegetarians and non fish eaters.

Had an excellent dinner from start to finish. Octopus appetizer was perfect. We then had the Branzino for two. I would say the only disappointment of the Branzino was that they brought it table side but took it away to plate it. Service was good although the managers circling the room every 2 minutes was a bit over the top.

It was okay.
I went with someone who knew the chef, so I had a pretty good experience.
We had a bunch of tasting courses. and I had no idea what I was eating most of the time.
The food was good but wayyy too salty.
I definitely recommend the pasta though, specifically the Spaghetti Neri (squid-​ink pasta). That was my favorite part of the course.

Loved loved loved my dining experience and the amazingly fresh seafood! It’s even worth the hassle of putting down your credit card to make a reservation on open table.
Saturday night 8pm and the restaurant had a relaxed feel. The server was incredible courteous and knowledgable making confident recommendations when asked.
We had the the crudo sampler which was a nice way to try 6 different items. The oyster and artic char was my favorite which is good to know in the future. I absolutely loved the sea urchin and crab meat pasta – FYI the noodles are thick like a bucatini but without a hole in the center so it’s filling. I also loved the black ink pasta. We also got the tonno and it was seriously so fresh and cooked to perfection.
I also loved their homemade gelato. The speed of the experience was great for me because I was catching up with friends and didn’t want to be rushed. Others might consider it to be slow, but I enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to go back!!!

My family and I came here because my father-​in-​law is a big fan of the TV show that Dave Pasternack has about fishing in Long Island. When we got to the restaurant, we were seated immediately and told our waiter why we came. As we were looking at the menu, out walked Dave Pasternack. He came to our table and chatted us up for a bit. He was a really nice guy. My father-​in-​law was over the moon. That was such an incredibly nice thing.
Let me start by saying, this place is incredibly expensive. Like insanely expensive. For the amount of money we spent, I expected incredible food. And while the food was good, it was not worth the prices being charged. The wine was marked up to such a degree I was flabbergasted when I opened the menu.
My family and I ordered the Burratta appetizer. It had Burratta, fried artichokes, and arugula on top. That cost $ 20. Insane. It was delicious and probably my favorite part of the meal, but that is just too much money for that. I am a vegetarian so I ordered the gnocchi. My husband does not like seafood so he ordered the chicken. The rest of my family ordered seafood entrees. My gnocchi was very good. All the pasta in each dish was homemade. The sauce was a bit lacking in flavor. My husband throughly enjoyed his chicken. The rest of family liked their dishes but were not totally impressed. We unfortunately were too full to get dessert so I can’t speak to that. I wish we would have been able to because other tables ordered desserts and they all looked good.
The service was impeccable but overall we were pretty underwhelmed, especially considering the prices.

*Moscardino (grilled baby octopus with roasted cipollini and summer greens; the octopus was so perfectly cooked, I’m always nervous to order grilled octopus because so many places overcook them to the point where you can’t even chew it; the onions were to die for!!! i could have eaten a whole plate of those and been a happy camper)
*spaghetti neri (squid ink pasta; the pasta was al dente, green chili definitely provided some heat but I was expecting this to pack a punch but it didn’t. Considering this is the first time I’m having squid ink pasta, I don’t have anything to compare it to)
*branzino (meh, I thought the fish would be meatier and flakier but it wasn’t; they filet it for you and when it was presented, the fish was relatively small and dry.)
*affogato di caffe (HELL YES!!! espresso gelato with some fresh espresso poured on top… I had a moment when I took my first bite of this. sooo good!!! the gelato was smooth and rich; coffee was smokey; I could pour this all over myself. Loved this dessert!!!)
The restaurant is very simply decorated and surprisingly not pretentious for an upscale place. I think the food is decent, hits and misses. Service is wonderful! An army comes out to deliver food and an army arrives to clear the table, which is so efficient so no one is waiting. Not sure if I’d return for dinner but I can have that affogato everyday.

I came here with my colleagues to try the restaurant week. Since we know what we were here for we directed the server to provide us specific details for the same, but like some other Unilocalers have pointed out the servers DONOT mention restaurant week, there was an elderly couple on the next table and they ordered A-​la-​Carte at least half of the food they ordered was on the RW menu but the server did not tell them that felt too bad sadly though when I tried to talk to the gentleman trying to explain him about RW he kind of snubbed me so I left it there, to think of it now maybe deserved to overpay. On to the food now
No doubt it was fabulous. I got the grilled octopus, whole blue fish with salsa verde, might I add one of the best fire roasted fish and salsa verde i’ve had. And for dessert I had the chocolate cake with Dolce and toasted Almonds yes it was exactly as it sounds sumptuously delicious.
One of the guys for Snapper and was bummed by it, to me it looked over cooked.
And the other one got sardines, we all we stumped by the quantity so very less of it ONE sardine i kid you not it was one sardine. My choices turned to be the best though. Would definitely visit next year for RW. Regular price meal would leave u gasped for oxygen though

I don’t get the hype for this place. While some things Esca serves are great (raw oysters, crudos), some are just plain awful and unacceptable.
We started with a chef’s treat, mackerel on toast. It was pretty good but looked really ugly (see pictures below).
The raw oysters were delicious, shucked very clean, and adorned with lemon, mignonette, and chili oil (which I didn’t care much for). The waiter also offered to grate fresh horseradish tableside for us which was something I’ve never seen done before, but unfortunately a different waiter cleared our horseradish plates midway through the oyster course.
We dabbled and ordered the razor clam crudo. I’m a sucker for razor clams whenever I see them on the menu, and I was glad I ordered it. The mint, scallions, and chilies emphasized the flavor of the razor clams, but the distinct flavor of the olive oil overwhelmed me a bit. It was also a little awkward eating from such thin razor clam shells, even though the presentation was beautiful.
My entrée — golden spotted bass — came shortly afterwards. The fish was cooked nicely but lacked any true flavor. The broccolini it was served alongside looked sad and drab in color, as if it had been boiling for hours. Our sides of beets, broccoli, and fennel did little to elevate our moods.
Service is attentive, police, friendly, and smart, and the restaurant is a beauty to sit in. I just wish the food could match. One can hope.
