Just finished another wonderful meal at mt favorite Japanese restaurant. I think this may have been our 30th visit in the last five years. Excellent sushi, very good service and very reasonable prices. More

Great service and super comfortable outside seating on a Sunday afternoon. One of the oyster selections wasn't the freshest and they took it off the bill as a courtesy. A relaxing time. More

This was our third time at Burke & Wills. We planned to arrive a half hour early for the reservation so we could have a cocktail upstairs at MCC. The civilized way to start an evening. (My husband and I arrived first and the host said we had to wait for our full party before being escorted upstairs, this policy was new to us, but it was quickly resolved). The waitress recommended cocktails to each of our tastes and she nailed it. The cocktails were amazing. At dinner, the branzino and hanger steak were big hits. We knew from past experience (and the appetites of our young friends) to order small plates to supplement the large plates. The tasty beef tartar was hidden under a pile of perfect golden potato chips. The oysters were good (although, to be honest, not the very best I have ever had). The Shishito peppers had the right mix of hot - not too much. For dessert, the Affogato is fantastic especially with the walnut liquor, although note; it is not a dessert that is easy to share. ( I ask for the espresso to be de-caf - my own paranoia ). The bread pudding, also delicious, was served as a slice (not in a ramekin) so easily shareable. We left happy and satisfied, vowing to return. More

OpenTable Diner -
Wonderful as always. All entrees were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the pork chop and we loved the burrata appetizer. The service was attentive but not rushed. Perfect for an evening out with friends. More
OpenTable Diner -
Go for the buffalo cauliflower. somehow, that cauliflower is transformed into a piquant, addictive item. Love the low-key atmosphere. Not a ton of dishes for a vegetarian. Fried chicken sandwich is excellent. The cavetelli very good. Avocado toast garnished like a child's toy - tomatoes and radishes stuck into it on a grid. The bar is appealing and the service is super attentive. Very quiet at lunch. More
OpenTable Diner -
Whenever we are in NYC we try to get to Bodrum. The food is excellent. Never had a meal here that wasn't delicious. It's a bit noisy, but the food makes up for that. The bread is to die for! More

It’s always good Tuesday we went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I told them when I made the reservation and to the hostess. Just wanted a candle. It was forgotten. When I told our server he apologized and adjusted the bill to compensate the mistake. It was such a nice gesture and so greatly appreciated More

On a hot night we met old friends for dinner. We got a lovely table inside at the 'outside' window. So it felt like we were outside, but the AC was very cool. The service was great. We were not rushed. We had a leisurely dinner. The fish was very good. More
OpenTable Diner -
The service with Amanda was great! The drinks were fabulous. The humongous food portions were dished up for us family style. We had the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti. I loved it! Plus don’t forget the cannolis. I’ll be back whenever I visit NYC again. More

Amazing experience. best Vegan food We have had in a long time! More
OpenTable Diner -
Sat outside. Very nice service from staff. Had paella which was really good. Tapas also great. More
OpenTable Diner -
Service was generally efficient but unenthusiastic. They could have sold at least one more glass of wine, had they asked if anyone wanted a refill. On a hot evening, the ac was not up to par. The food, however, was good and merits another visit. If the service and ac are not in better shape, the next visit will probably be the last. More
OpenTable Diner -
It is beautiful and quite,, That is worth a lot!! my Fritata was good but it only came with a few lettuce leaves..good dressing,,,For gluten free people it is a small meal,, added some before and after beverages which upped the price,, More

The food was excellent and service was wonderful. Luckily we sat outside. The noise level inside was intolerable. No way anyone could have a conversation - and isn't socializing as well as dining what it's all about? More

Great food, nice ambience. Unfortunately we (party of 3) had to sit at a small table and an even smaller chair outside. Not very comfy but if you could get a real table it’s a nice place. More

Good enough to eat Is always great in every way! The food, service, and atmosphere may be matched by a few other superior restaurants in Manhattan,but never exceeded! And quite frankly, we are very often fortunate enough to be served by our all time favorite waiter, Theron, who is simply the best!!!!! May Good enough to eat and Theron thrive and be blessed for many, many years to come!!!!!! Mary Feeney More

This place is a gem. Intimate setting and sound quality coming from the stage was excellent. Great place for having a birthday party. Food is delicious. The dessert of bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had and my parents lived in New Orleans. Easy after hours parking no problem. More

OpenTable Diner -
I've only been to Il Violino for weekday lunch, but I can imagine this would also be a good neighborhood dinner spot. This is superb Italian. Even just a simple plate of spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce is a real treat. The place is best suited for small groups -- 2 to 4 people. The vibe is relaxed. More
OpenTable Diner -
Very good neighborhood place for simple authentic Italian. Good food and good service. We’ll be back. More
OpenTable Diner -
Was seated very quickly, our waiter was attentive checked on us every 5-10 minutes. food came out quick and was delicious More
OpenTable Diner -
Authentic French menu done by French owner and chefs in a recently opened UWS location. Food and service are 1st-rate. Amex only accepted because when the owner first came to the US, Amex was the only credit organization offering him necessary financial backing. More

We got there at 7:45 for our 8 o’clock reservation, and there weren’t many other guests. We were seated and taken care of all night, service was prompt. Food was good, nothing out of the ordinary, but worth a return trip. More
OpenTable Diner -
enjoyed it - food, service, etc. - went there a year ago and thought i would never return because i had a reservation but was denied a table by a surly female "greeter". seems like they cleaned up their act. More
OpenTable Diner -
Great hamburgers. Many varieties to try. Had a very pleasant Cousins Lunch. More
OpenTable Diner -
All good but most dishes (lentils, chicken dishes, curries) are now far “hotter” as in more highly seasoned with green chilies than in the past at Indus Valley. . A problem for its older clientele. Probably a new chef. I wish people could assume lower level (very mild) hotness and then request IF they want it hotter. More
OpenTable Diner -
we spent a very long time with cocktails to dinner to dessert catching up with friends and the staff never rushed us and that was GREATLY appreciated! More
OpenTable Diner -

OpenTable Diner -
Great service by Darwin! Food was incredible & tasty! Prices have gone up too much for simple fare. More
OpenTable Diner -
The hostess was very thoughtful. I was meeting a girlfriend for lunch, and the hostess seated me at a table for two, as I was the first to arrive. After I was seated, she saw that there was a larger table available, and she offered that one to me instead, since it was during a period when the restaurant was less busy. I hadn't asked for the larger table, but I appreciated her suggestion and my friend and I were more comfortable with the extra space. The food was delicious. I had the goat cheese salad with a glass of Sancerre. More
OpenTable Diner -
Great menu with some Tom Valenti signatures, like his salmon gravlax with crisp chickpea pancake, and the superb fried rock shrimp with spicy aioli. Simply grilled items include quail and squab, rarely seen on menus. The squab was deliciously juicy and medium rare as it should be. The room is roomy and casual and the bar looks terrific, for meals as well as just drinks. This place is what you want in your neighborhood, but also well worth traveling to. More
OpenTable Diner -
We had the prix fixe dinner before theater at Lincoln Center, which is only a short walk away. The ambiance is quite pleasant and the tables are far enough apart that we could have a pleasant conversation. The food is tasty standard Italian fare and the service was fine. More

Just noticed this little restaurant a few weeks ago. Promised myself that I would try it out. Did that yesterday for brunch and wasn't disappointed. Our server was so helpful and cheery! We both ordered the omelet with truffle and pesto. It came with perfectly sliced prosciutto and two slices of toasted baguette. The omelette was so fluffy and tasty. And, the seltzer was free. What more could one ask for? I'll definitely return for dinner shortly! More
OpenTable Diner -
Great experience and wonderful food! Everything from the service to the food to getting to meet Eric Trump was amazing! Highly recommend! More
OpenTable Diner -
Good food, festive ambiance. Had a very good chicken in mole sauce, good service, everyone is very nice. Drinks took a little while to arrive. Frozen margaritas in tall blue-rimmed glasses are festive. I have tasted better (I don't think the lime juice compares with fresh squeezed). Mariachi band played (Besa Me), and while they were on break, a pianist and an absolutely wonderful female operasinger treated us to a few songs (Porgy and Bess?). More
OpenTable Diner -
Excellent fresh Mexican food. More
OpenTable Diner -
I met an old friend for a long and leisurely lunch on a Thursday afternoon. The food was great. A burger for my friend and a chicken club pita for me. But each was prepared with care and skill. They were each a real meal and an excellent meal. Service was wonderful. Espresso was great. The bar is superior. It's a real neighborhood gem. More

Discover Upper West Side
Although it was home to Seinfeld and features other cultural cornerstones like the Lincoln Center, the “Upper Best Side” has long been passed over for other cooler neighborhood when it comes to the food scene. It’s no longer an afterthought, as some of the city’s most exciting new eaters have set up shop above 59th Street, creating more attention for the decades-old uptown institutions. Jewish fare like deli sandwiches and challah French toast are staples, but now you can also find the city’s best dan dan noodles. Grab a cheap Gotham hot dog, class it up with easy and reliable French, and save room for dessert at one of the countless cafes. Just remember to stay intellectually hungry—some of the city’s best museums are right nearby.
