Best Historic Restaurants in Midtown

We dined at The Asbury before going to see the musical Tina at the Blumenthal Theater. We had an early 5:15 reservation making sure we would have plenty of time before our show at 7:30. We were seated promptly in the pleasant dining room. Our servers were extremely efficient and friendly. We told them we didn’t want to rush but had theater tickets for 7:30. They were great! Our meal was good. The shrimp skewers were delicious, Main course of rib eye, roast potatoes and mixed vegetables was good, not outstanding. The caramel cheesecake was very tasty. Our meal was a set price of $45 which we felt was a good value. The dining room inside the Dunhill Hotel is quiet and nicely decorated. We left at a little after 7 after a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends, the Fig staff is excellent and thoroughly enjoyed our meal

We absolutely loved our experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was exceptional — every dish felt authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich sauces and thoughtfully curated wine list, everything was done with care and passion. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It struck the perfect balance between upscale and inviting — elegant yet cozy, like being welcomed into someone’s beautiful home. The staff was attentive and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience feel special without being overly formal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal and a warm, refined dining experience.

House is fantastic! Beautiful venue to enjoy a great meal. Food was outstanding…diver scallops were prepared the best we’ve tasted. Service was excellent, and nice, quiet ambiance.

My server Alex was awesome, food was amazing and we enjoyed the intimate setting.
