121 Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Town of North Salem

HORRID....!!!!! Was there for the $55 prix fixe Thanksgiving meal. Totally appalled; served cold to lukewarm food...shocked the staff can serve such crappy food with a straight face. Soup was disgustingly thin...watered down with very little flavor...COLD...!! Ham was nothing more than sliced deli cold cuts...bought ham home for the dogs; they liked it. ALL root vegetables were dried out probably from reheating too many times. Did I mention the food was COLD. Most prix fixe dinners have coffee or tea included; no coffee or tea...WTH...probably would have been served COLD, too.... My bro-in-law left before even finishing his soup.... WHAT A FREAKIN' JOKE....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN...FOOD WAS COLD...!!! The downstairs doors were blocked by 2 large wine ice buckets. This is a fire violation. The kitchen was at the top of the stairs, if a fire broke out, this door would be the escape route as people would not run up the stairs towards the fire...DUH. Ironically, a fire at my mother's apt. complex is the reason why we were forced to dine out. The dinner plates were greasy, dirty, noticed initially by my mother. My sister has worked in the food industry...she said, "it is difficult to cook for the masses but for the food to be served cold there is NO excuse." There is no excuse for the food to be as lousy as it was, either...the quality was bad as for the cooking. Damn, you only had to prepare these dishes....wasn't like other food was going to be ordered....same stuff. I was told you served food that was left over from other tables. This is a health violation. My sister said the...

My dining experience at 121 was divine. I was first enticed by their diverse beer selection which included some fine craft beers. I had gotten the soft shell crab for an appetizer. It was fried and sautéed in a delicious sauce with a touch of spice. My girlfriend had gotten the veal meatballs with 121's homemade ricotta and polenta. Being made from veal opposed to beef, they packed immense flavor and we're very tender. I had gotten the sesame crusted tuna which was served on top of the most flavorful sauce that I had ever tasted. In fact, after I had mopped my plate clear I went ahead and dipped some of my girlfriend's chicken in it. For dessert we had gotten the Creme Brule with a scoop of SoCo butterscotch ice cream, a cappuccino, and a glass of Ameretto, the perfect compliment to a wonderful meal. The cappuccino was made perfect, as I have been to some restaurants that occasionally burn theirs. We left 121 feeling full but not stuffed. I loved everything about this restaurant. Highly...

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the manager Terry, who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our entire meal.

The food was absolutely incredible - every dish was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. I cannot recommend the seafood pasta enough, it was truly outstanding. And let's not forget about the delicious cocktails crafted by the talented bartender Julie. She recommended a few drinks that perfectly complemented our meal and they were all absolutely fantastic.

But what truly set this restaurant apart was the impeccable service. Terry and Julie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and truly made us feel like valued guests. I cannot wait to come back and experience this amazing dining experience again. 5 stars all the way!

You must get the blood orange mezcal margarita, the short rib spring rolls and the...
