Profile

The most striking aspect of Remi is its soaring space and tasteful décor. Despite a lot of Italian vocabulary on the menu, however, the cuisine here seems mostly domestic. (Much of what's on offer would seem at home on the menu of Union Square Café.) Grilled striped bass and country-style free-range chicken, for example, are well done but not exactly the exclusive product of the Emilia-Romagna district. Catering primarily to a Midtown business clientele, Remi’s service is professional, although when the restaurant is at capacity it can be imprecise. — Steven A. Shaw

I was very surprised, and not in a nice way, by Remi. The setting is very pretty, the music just right in tone and mood, the service was good if not expert. But the food was a shock. An Italian restaurant whose polenta has a texture somewhere between glue and molasses? Their speciality veal ravioli in a sauce that reminded me of Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup? Calves liver of a quality occasionally surpassed in my neighborhood diner? For such a pretty room, and at such sky high prices, we expected more. Much much much more.

Great choice if you are looking for a reasonably priced (but nice) midtown business dinner location. Pricier and blander than I'd recommend for a real night out, though may be OK for a group. Everything straight down the middle. Suggest getting a corner or side table as it can get noisy.
