A word from Midnight Blue Restaurant & Lounge

Nestled in the Upper East Side of New York City amidst the hustle and bustle, Midnight Blue Restaurant is an oasis of a familiar yet new and relaxed atmosphere, where everyone feels right at home. Our goal is to remind our patrons what a good restaurant is all about. While we cater for a family… oriented demographic, we are here for corporate events, social hang outs, and romantic dinners for two.Continued

"We eat at Midnight Blue about 3 times a month. In fact, we were there the night before with friends who really enjoyed it. My only disappointment was that they ran out of corn beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, our sole purpose for going back the next day."

"The Italian entrees and soups were delicious. My bf says the steak was not memorable. But we ordered the lobster bisque and french onion soup and they were good! The sangria was delish! And berry mojito is amazing. The white clam sauce with pasta is good. The penne la vodka pasta was good. Fresh Bread good."
