Accent Restaurant Bar - New York City

It was my first time there. Super food and service. Everyone was very kind and helpful. We ordered KRUVIT (baked and seasoned cauliflower), which was excellent. Breads that came with Tahini, Matbuha, and eggplant salad, also excellent, and chicken Tanjin (a slow cooked chicken) with couscous, also excellent. Their dessert is to die for: Chocolate mousse and CheeseCake with some delicate lime flavor, this was out of this world, really! Overhaul, all was good and we definitely will return!

This was the worst experience possible. I had booked this restaurant via open table hoping to celebrate my moms 65th birthday and when we go to the restaurant, there was a massive lock on the door. The restaurant didn't call us or give us a heads up. We travelled all the way from the upper west side to kips bay only to find out the doors were shut. Very disappointed with this experience and would like to understand what Accent and OpenTable will do compensate for this bad experience?

As a starting point, the food here is superb, maybe some of the best Israeli Mediterranean food I've tried in the city. From the hummus to the eggplant to the lamb to the fish, the kitchen kept sending out one delicious dish after another. And the bar was right behind them with tasty drinks. The big issue is the service it is friendly but overwhelmed. I don't know if someone called in sick but it took 30 minutes to seat us (even though I had to put down a credit card and risk being charged $100+ if my group did not show up) and then hit and miss in ordering, serving and even getting us the check. If they could hire one more server, this place could be a machine.

Giving this restaurant a 5 stars for their chicken polenta alone. The polenta was creamy and savory, the chicken was juicy and soft and the light truffle oil just brought the dish together perfectly.Also do not skip on the bread and dip! The bread was pipping hot with a nice crispy outer layer but soft and pillowy on the inside.

Delicious! i only knocked a star because of the prices, which were more steep for how simple the menu item was. schnitzel sandwich was massive so I took half home. my friend and i tried proper shakshuka for the first time and it was delicious! Burstin with flavor :
