Restaurant Summary
Flippers in New York City is a culinary haven for those with an appreciation for the finer things in life. Tucked away in the bustling streets of Manhattan, this gem of a restaurant is where contemporary elegance meets the robust flavors of international cuisine. The ambient setting of Flippers is both intimate and inviting, featuring plush seating, warm lighting, and an artful decor that creates a sophisticated but comfortable atmosphere for diners.
At Flippers, every dish is an expression of culinary artistry, prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. One of the signature highlights on the menu is the Truffle-Infused Lobster Risotto— a creamy and rich delight with perfectly cooked arborio rice, generous chunks of tender lobster, and a delicate drizzle of truffle oil that will send your senses into overdrive. Another crowd-favorite is the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, which presents premium thinly-sliced Wagyu adorned with capers, shaved Parmesan, and a touch of extra virgin olive oil, exemplifying simplicity and flavor in one dish.
For those seeking an adventure in taste, the Black Garlic Glazed Chilean Sea Bass is a must-try. The sea bass, known for its buttery texture, is elevated with a sweet and umami-rich black garlic glaze that forms a perfect crust on the outside while preserving the fish's moist flakiness within. On the side, you'll often find a beautifully arranged selection of seasonal vegetables that complement the fish to perfection.
Dessert at Flippers is an affair not to be missed, with the Poached Pear Belle Helene offering a decadent conclusion to the dining experience. A beautifully poached pear is served with warm chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and sprinkled with toasted almonds, delivering a divine blend of flavors and textures that brings a classic French dessert to the heart of New York.
A carefully curated wine list complements the culinary offerings, featuring vintages from both well-known wineries and boutique vineyards. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the everyday luxury of fine dining, Flippers in New York City promises an unforgettable experience with every bite.
