Prepare for a luxuriously indulgent epicurean adventure at Food + Wine and Thrillist-praised FESTIVÁL on the Upper East Side. Here, the signature Oyster & Martini duet is where downtown cool meets uptown charm, treating your palate to the most lavish combination of exquisite flavors, all within a gorgeous social hub of trendy feels and it-crowd denizens.
Grab your $39 pulse (a $92 value) for an Oysters & Martinis Experience For Two that includes 1 Dozen PEI Oysters alongside 2 Martinis, expertly crafted to elevate every delicious mouthful.
The warmer months have arrived, when the vibe practically begs for sundresses, sunglasses, and golden hour selfies. The oysters - sourced fresh from Blue Oyster Cultivation in Ithaca - arrive to the table, shimmering with sea-bright freshness and dressed with hyper-seasonal mignonettes. It’s the ideal indulgence for an afternoon catch-up with friends, or before a summer dinner at this gem!
The martinis here steal the show, crafted with a farm-to-bar philosophy that makes each sip feel special. Take your pick from any Gin or Vodka Martini, including the signature Steakhouse Filthy Martini (EVOO Washed Vodka, Spanish Olive Brine, Blue Cheese Olive & Spicy Pepper), and the signature Rhubarb & Rockeys (Rhubarb Gin, Rockey's Botanical, Heimat Rhubarb, Kumquat Bitters & Fleur de Sel).
And the energy? Effortlessly magnetic, with a summery, social vibe that flows throughout. It’s a place to linger during the afternoon or as the ideal prelude for a night of delicious revelry - cheers, slurp, sip, repeat!
Dive into the unexpected & the utterly delicious at FESTIVÁL, an Upper East Side gem. Farm-to-table & farm-to-bar, they're redefining what it means to dine & imbibe. Here, everything is made from scratch with attention to detail, using only locally sourced ingredients (from within 100 miles of Manhattan) & a flair for the creative.
The soul of FESTIVÁL is deeply rooted in the neighborhood, owned and operated by UES families who live just around the corner. It’s a love letter to New York’s seasons, with a menu that rotates to reflect what’s fresh from the region’s best farms. Think succulent cuts of meat, just-picked greens, and dreamily flavor-packed fruit, assembled into delicious works of art.
Chef Andrew Maturana and multi-talented Co-Owner/Head Mixologist Tyler Hollinger are the dream team behind this neighborhood treasure, combining culinary innovation with festival-level flair (literally, as Hollinger is the visionary behind Secret Summer and SSUNDAZE). Their commitment to sustainability and community has earned FESTIVÁL major praise, and their vibe is just as magnetic as their menu.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a space that feels equal parts garden party and art house. The decor is quirky and photo-ready, with bold color palettes, botanical installations, and glittering disco balls catching the light just right. It’s effortlessly stylish, and every detail is designed to keep the mood light, playful, and Instagram-gold.
And let’s talk about those drinks, crafted by the mixologist magician himself, Hollinger. It’s stacked with seasonal showstoppers that will make you fall in love at first sip, reflecting the local harvest and Tyler’s knack for turning nature into magic. Think cold-pressed infusions, wild-foraged elements, and inventiveness galore - cool, botanical, and effortlessly elevated.
FESTIVÁL has the kind of energy that keeps you coming back—and maybe even staying a little longer than planned.
All selections are made from the restaurant's full menu.
