If you’re looking for authentic French cuisine.. this is the place to go. Escargot melts in your mouth, striped sea bass is so soft and flavorful, and the duck is something you want to try! I’m not a huge game meat person, but this was by far... amazing. The wine selection is great.. we split a bottle of Chateau de Mille Anges, highly recommend for a reasonably priced, full bodied wine. Enjoy !! More

I would order takeout from here and not really eat in because the smell from the kitchen doesn’t go out but comes into the dinning area and you leave smelling of food when you’re done. More

Your computer forced my Monday reservation to 9:45 when I made it on Sunday night. Apparently because I reserved for 1 person. There was no reason on a Monday night to push back that late. The restaurant was nearly 2/3 empty. My server was aware of what I wrote on your comment space when I made the reservation Thank you. More

A spur of the moment, change of plans as we were suppose to go to the meatpacking district. Happy we stayed on the UWS. Exceptional cuisine and great service. My girlfriend indulged in a Moscow mule and I wanted something different. I asked the bartender what was his specialty and he shared that he had created a new concoction. An Irish limeade is the taste but not the name. I had the branzino; always appreciate a good fish. Dessert was the chocolate bruno. Delighted over what the weather made me do. More

OpenTable Diner -
totally fun casual restaurant. Margaritas by the pitcher are a great value. I liked the carnitas, but it was missing the crispy end pieces that are so good when the pork comes off the plancha or out of the oven, this was really just braised pork. More
OpenTable Diner -

OpenTable Diner -
Absolutely amazing. The portions are the right size, the drinks and food are both delicious. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable. Additionally, we were going to a show at the Beacon after and the place was a little busy so I was concerned about timing. No need, they are efficient but not rushed. I didn't even mention the time constraint, that's just how this place operates. Our little basket of chips was just getting to the bottom and another showed up without asking. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. More

OpenTable Diner -
We always enjoy Bettola. The ambience is thoroughly pleasant, the hosts are unfailingly friendly, the food is real home cooking (do try the bread pudding if you have any room), and to my mind it is the quintessential reliable & welcoming neighborhood restaurant. More

Nice quiet place where conversation is actually possible. Excellent food. I'm not a big steak fan, but I really liked the grass-fed filet. Brussel sprouts also outstanding. Not cheap, but a fair deal, especially for special occaions. More

Definitely a breath of fresh air to the growing offering of Chinese in the neighborhood! The menu is very authentic and interesting but yet Atlas also offers an American Chinese menu listing. The restaurant interior and decor a definite plus - very tasteful and love the artistic work on the walls. The service is very enthusiastic but I think restaurant management will need to work on more professional training. Also, the prices are somewhat on the pricer side. Overall, a good experience. The restaurant was packed on an early Sunday evening at 6pm. Atlas is the "It" Chinese restaurant in the Columbia University UWS neighborhood! More

OpenTable Diner -
My chicken tikka was on the dry side. Our waitress acted as if she wanted to be doing anything other than waiting tables. The other service people seemed good and attentive, and they let us sit and talk without rushing us (it was a quiet night), and I like that the restaurant doesn't use ghee. I gave 4 stars to give them the benefit of the doubt, since I only tried one meal, and maybe our waitress was having a bad day. 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.
