Crown Shy

A great food experience. Everything had nuanced flavors and well thought out dishes. Music choice was interesting (early 2000s hip hop) but didn’t mind that. The ambiance was very cool. My only comment is that our waitress was great, but her demeanor noticeably changed after we requested the resturant week menu. Otherwise service was outstanding! Would go back to try out their cocktails (they looked very interesting)

I ate at Crown Shy in January of 2023, and it was an overall great meal!! We showed up right when it opened at 5pm and sat at the bar!! We came for the desserts in particular, but wound up ordering the chicken and two drinks! The drinks were non alcoholic and absolutely incredible and refreshing, definitely a must try!! We also ordered the famous chicken which was an amazing citrousy blend of flavors and spice!!! The complimentary bread was also incredible. Finally, we finished with the sticky toffee pudding – so delicious and perfect for a cold night!! The only downside is it can be a bit difficult to find the entrance, so definitely give yourself some extra time to find the restaurant if possible. Overall, it was a great meal and I highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to eat in the financial district!!

Five star dining experience. I love how they have an open kitchen where you can witness the respect they have for the dishes they prepare for their guests. Meticulously put together, top-notch ingredients, friendly staff. Our server Mark was great! Please order the sticky toffee pudding for two.

The food at Crown Shy is simply phenomenal. We were a group of 7 and nearly ordered every item on the menu. All were fantastic but some were the stand outs: the scallop, the pasta (picture below), the chicken (picture below) I cannot emphasize chicken enough, and the bread (picture below). We were seated at the table next to the kitchen which was an experience on its own.

Came here for my birthday and really enjoyed the restaurant. They were recently named 50 best restaurants in NYC right now by TimeOut. Their bread is amazing, it melts in your mouth and I really enjoyed the octopus. We also tried the beef carpaccio, the pear salad and the chicken. All of them were delicious! Highly recommend not skipping dessert, the baklava cheesecake is worth trying!
