Why Travelers Love 1803 NYC
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The service was great! Everyone was friendly, from our server to the food runners. The food was overall good. The charbroiled oysters were delicious, and the Brussels sprouts could have been cooked a little longer, but they tasted great. For our mains, the sauce on the Branzino made it a bit soggy, and the short rib Ragú pasta could have been a bit more al dente. Sorry for the very opinionated review, but it’s with good intentions. The staff was beyond welcoming, attentive and friendly. The Oysters were beyond disappointing! Nothing like Drago’s in New Orleans. The meat of the oyster’s were so small there was almost nothing there to eat but the sauce, which was good but there was little meat there was; shriveled! Please don’t order the oysters. I should have sent them back immediately. The bread was soft and nicely toasted but no butter. The ribs were fall off the bone tender but it needed MORE seasoning! They needed , heat, spice and or citrus. They needed something to balance out the sweetness.brought mine home and reseasoned them with garlic and jalapeño, and added Adobo. The best thing to me was the gumbo. Again more seasoning! What do they have against onion, garlic and Tony’s. Finally the bread pudding top with butter pecan ice, delicious! I finished it right there. Great atmosphere in and outside. Reasonable prices. Service very friendly and fun. Escargot delicious. Shrimp plump and juicy with a great sauce. Paella a bit dry so they brought out a very tasty sauce to liven it up. The ribs appetizer was the standout falling off the bone.

Perfect brunch experience!! The food was delicious. The live music excellent. Atmosphere was inviting and fun. The bread pudding was the best thing I ate in a long time. Incredible mixture of chocolate, caramel ice cream and of course bread pudding. Highly recommend!

I'll get straight to the point. We went with a large group. We ordered the gumbo, the jambalaya, the burger, the French toast, The oysters and even a salad. I cannot tell you one thing that I didn't like. It was all amazing. My favorite was the gumbo and the oysters and the employees there were all really nice. I can't wait to go back again. I definitely want to try the shrimp Po boy.
