Koloman at the Ace Hotel combines playful Austrian flair with modern French techniques, delivering cozy elegance and must-try dishes like the roast chicken and apple strudel.
"Koloman already does an amazing, dry-aged whole roast chicken that makes every dinner here feel like a special occasion, so we’re pretty sure their slow-roasted turkey with croissant stuffing is going to put every other turkey in the tristate area to shame. Come for the bird, and leave singing songs from The Sound of Music with your entire family after you have the Viennese apple strudel for dessert. The three-course meal at this Midtown restaurant costs $165 per person—$105 for kids under 12—and reservations can be made online. (Walk-ins are welcome at the bar, where you can still order the full Thanksgiving menu.)" - neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
"Located in the Ace Hotel in Nomad, Koloman takes the kind of food you’d expect to find at a fancy hotel in Europe, gives it a 21st-century makeover, then serves it all up in a surprisingly casual setting. Their brunch includes some of the greatest hits from their dinner menu, including duck liver parfait with Texas toast-style brioche, roasted beets “linzer”, and what might be the best apple strudel outside of Austria. There’s plenty of breakfast-y food available too, like french toast and a soft scramble with chives and pumpkin seed oil." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang
"The Deal: $30 Lunch Fussy, French, and Austrian, Koloman serves food that looks like it should be on display in a museum, and tastes like an upscale weekend in Vienna. Stop into this Nomad restaurant for a $30 lunch that consists of crisp schnitzel and apple strudel served with a side of frozen buttermilk." - bryan kim
"Koloman serves decadent, inventive Viennese food with a French twist in the Ace Hotel. The open kitchen gives major Ratatouille vibes, the service is tight, and every dish has a surprising element, from a tartare of celery root to duck liver parfait. Come hungry, and order at least two things from every section of the menu. Don’t skip the the salmon en croute that’s neatly pressed between two slices of toast." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
"Koloman is an overhaul of what had been the Breslin at the Ace Hotel, now in a room with restored tin ceilings, a clock-themed bar, and a modern Austrian menu by head chef and co-owner Markus Glocker. Choose among dishes like celery root tartare, gougeres, souffle, and veal schnitzel. Pair them with a compelling selection from a mostly Austrian wine list. After-dinner, consider their hard-to-find collection of schnapps. Save room for desserts like the Lübeck marzipan, apple strudel, or caramelized milk bread, all of which live up to superlatives. There’s a good Martini Hour weekdays from 4 to 6 p.m. with its own menu." - Eater Staff
