New night out unlocked in Murray Hill 🍾✨ . The Consulate (@theconsulategroup ) just stepped into a longtime neighborhood address (160 E 38th St) and completely transformed the space into something fresh and elevated. It’s French meets American with a menu that really moves from lighter raw bar moments like tuna tartare to richer plates like branzino, all done with a refined touch. . The textures and flavors felt balanced across the board, and the experience leans just as much into the vibe as it does the food. Champagne was flowing, and I had a delicious mezcal cocktail that tied everything together perfectly. . What makes this spot stand out is the dual concept because right next door, At the Office picks up where dinner leaves off. Think late-night energy, drinks, and a seamless transition from dining to going out without ever changing locations. . It’s giving full night-out energy, all in one place and Murray Hill needed this. . #nyceats #nycnightlife #murrayhillnyc #foodiegram #nycfoodscene

We had the best service at this restaurant by Ishmael. We enjoyed all our dishes, and dessert was the best! For a French bistro, I had hoped for more French cuisine choices. I should have checked the online menu more closely. The French items we had, escargot, duck confit, and onion soup, were authentically delicious.

The minute we came through the door we were greeted by a charming gentleman who was also our server. His name was Ishmael. He made our evening special. The food was outstanding and you can actually have a conversation. The sound level is pretty quiet with wonderful music…ie. Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and the like. This was the first time for us but we will be back again. If you go, and you should, save room for the STICKY TOFFEE CAKE for dessert. It’s sinfully Good.
