This is my absolute favorite restaurant. There is nothing to complain about and everything to praise for. Chef Lynch is simply amazing — the food is fresh, innovative, and absolutely brilliant. I think I’m going to go again…. to the unfortunate demise of my wallet..

This is a truly… “different” modern fine dining experience. The decor is very unassuming, but it is very nicely done — in a very subtle kind of way. The bathroom doors were really interesting.

The food was really amazing in the sense that it was almost impossible to describe. I naturally went for the foie as a appetizer — which was much rare than usual foie in fine dining establishments.. the taste was very unusual and kept you on your toes.

The duck came with ginger granola, pomegranate, and mushrooms — a really interesting dish as well.

The food in general is very humorous, in fact the taste has actually made me laugh out-loud, which has never happened to me before.

Again, if you’re looking for a “fancy” romantic dining experience, don’t go here, but if you’re adventurous and want to try some real avant-garde cuisine, Wd-50 is excellent.

I was really disappointed with this -- especially with a restaurant with so much hype. The food wasn’t particularly appetizing and the wait staff was really condescending. It was certainly avant garde-- but I suggest Clio in Boston or the Modern in NYC if you want something that is both innovative and delicious.

An excellently reasonably priced restaurant with amazing steak and soups. One of the restaurants I frequent when I’m in New York.

Fairly decent foie gras with an excellent pepper steak. I might add that this place is so traditional, it’s almost amusing in a humorous way.

Always had a good time here — from a cozy dinner to a corporate event. Although it’s not the absolute best food and service in town, it’s still pretty amazing.

I think that the problem with Rialto is that it’s over hyped, and the chefs don’t pay enough attention to detail. Though the decor and ambiance is pretty cool.

Nice decor, though the foie gras isn’t the best I’ve tasted. However, it’s pretty spacious for a New York City restaurant.

Went during restaurant week — pretty decent French service and great foie, but nothing stood out.
