Esanation - City of New York

While there was a huge line and wait for the tiny Pure Thai, up Ninth Ave, we decided to give this place a try. We had a flavorful papaya salad and decent chicken dumplings. I had the drunk man noodles. Tasty. Nothing special but fair prices and friendly. And you can have a conversation here, human friendly noise levels. Recommend.

Another great Thai restaurant. I started off with a Chiang Mai a delicious blend of lychee, raspberry vodka and other ingredients. The tom khai soup here is delicious. Full of fresh mushrooms. My main dish was crispy pork belly with chinese broccoli. I was feeling hungry for a decent amount of vegetables and this was perfect. Watch out for the red chilis here. When they say spicey here they mean it!

Great value Thai restaurant. I got the fried rice and the lady got the shrimp with broth and a side of jasmine rice. Both dishes looked small upon receiving but it was quite filling. The lady couldn't finish hers! So looks can be deceiving! Both dishes were reasonably priced and on top of that.... We used a GROUPON. The value added was AMAZING! The appetizer was super small and was just that AN APPETIZER. It was an appetizer for just one person and not two. Service was nice and attentive as well. Sometimes when u use a Groupon, the service can take a hit for some weird reason... But here it didn't happen! I would come back here again no question without the Groupon tho! Fred

I absolutely loved this place! I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful atmosphere and the lovely decor, especially considering its unassuming exterior. The interior is truly magical and exceptionally well-designed. The food was of excellent quality too. Though my friend and I arrived for lunch not very hungry, we couldn't resist finishing every last bite on our plates.

Wonderful traditional French comfort food. Everything is elegantly prepared and executed flawlessly, though it isn't overly extravagant. They haven't yet embraced some of the more modern French culinary trends, like Café Gourmand. Every dish on the menu is worth trying. The best value is definitely the prix fixe menu along with the house wine.
