“For fine dining in NYC, Family Meal has to be the best deal in the city. $145 for what they claim is a four-course meal, but really has at least a dozen individual dishes.”

AI-generated summary
The family meal is the whole reason people go, a set menu around $145 with far more dishes than the course count suggests. Vegetables from their own farm are the standouts, and they'll build a full vegetarian version if you ask ahead. The bread and butter gets its own praise. A few people found the food bland and the night uneven, but most call it good value.

“I absolutely might have been there on an off night but the food was all over the place. One course would be amazing then the next course would be awful. It was baffling. Our drinks never came. My coat was unable to be checked. It was just all around not a good experience.”

“I loved it, but I think you should take it off your list. Blue Hill is more about show casing farm fresh food, like you will have some of your best vegetables and proteins in a meal, but the food is humble.”

“Each course came with a few dishes and I left satisfied, especially considering its easy enough to spend 50$ on a normal brunch at a sit-down place in West Village.”
