Lovely under the radar One Michelin star gem, nestled in the UWS. Very reasonably priced prix fixe for Michelin quality.

Absolutely Exceptional Dining Experience

We had an incredible experience at Essential by Christophe while celebrating the newlyweds. The Chef’s Room made the night unforgettable! Service was exceptional, and every staff member made us feel truly cared for. The food was outstanding, from the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu to the standout scallop and unique mushroom cappuccino. For any special occasion or a dinner that exceeds expectations, this spot is a five-star must.
