Upper West Side Restaurants
Outstanding quality of fish, much sourced from Japan, which would cost probably $50 more per omakase at other Manhattan restaurants. Every piece was great from beginning to end. BYOB also ups the value. More

Delicious Omakase; great service; relaxed and pleasant environment—but we went early (4 pm) More

The restaurant is great especially the Omakase. We had asked for a table but got a bar seat instead which worked out well for the Omakase so overall it was excellent experience. More

What an enjoyable evening! Place was hopping for a Wednesday evening. We fell in love with Jill at first sight. She was knowledgeable about the menu and oh, so personable. Kale salad and grilled octopus apps were tasty and plentiful. Barramundi was fresh with a little spice. The Brussels sprouts ...my oh my, crunchy with a little kick from the chorizo. Dessert didn’t disappoint either. Who doesn’t like a warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. An UWS keeper!! More

The Leopard would get all 5-star ratings if you request a seat in the front section. For 2 people, seated in the back, it is not PERfECT; but one cannot fault the ambiance, decor, service, or the food. Next time, I'll specifically ask for a "front table" and bring a blow-up doll if there are only 3 of us. ;-) More

We met friends from out of town and chose this for proximity to their hotel. Very pleasantly surprised. It’s small - maybe 16 tables - and with a lively bar. The noise level was loud but not deafening; it was possible to converse with out table mates. It was our waiter’s first day, but he was engaging and skilled (although his shift was apparently over in the middle of our meal and a colleague stepped in) and we all enjoyed the food which was carefully crafted and with the chef’s name on the menu to demonstrate his pride and conviction. The menu is somewhat small and limited, but we were able to find dishes that appealed and satisfied. More
OpenTable Diner -
It was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional and very traditional French. Highly recommend trying! More

I went there last week, and returned this week with a friend. Unsurprisingly, the food was still great, the service was great, and the room was quiet enough so we could hold a conversation, with subdued cool jazz background music. This time, I had white bean soup and the daily special, Sorentino chicken. Both were delicious, as was my wife's minestrone soup. All of us had to take home doggy bags, but it took some willpower not to eat everything on our plates. More

OpenTable Diner -
We had a lovely experience here! I had reserved a table for 8, and three of us were 1/2 hour early, after our day at the Museum of Natural History, which is close by. The table was ready for us early. The food was wonderful! Everyone was happy with the food, and we had ordered lots of appetizers, mezzes, entrees and desserts. The only dish that was not liked was the cheese pastries, which were way too salty. The service was very good, too. I would come back, if I am in the area. More

OpenTable Diner -
Fun neighborhood bar and grill with a friendly and professional staff. Draft beer selection is good and priced right. We had burgers, which were fine. I ordered mine rare and it was medium so I sent it back and they were very accommodating. I think the real problem with doneness comes from the meat being more like a meatloaf so it doesn’t cook to rare very well. I really wish their burgers were loosely packed and unseasoned like a good burger should be. Fries were excellent and the bun was warm, which it wasn’t the last time. I may need to change my order next time unless they address the burger composition. The goat cheese, prosciutto and arugula salad is fabulous! More

Brendon is the best server. Really cool guy. Great atmosphere and all. More

OpenTable Diner -
The food is always good, the margaritas tasty, and the crowd friendly. Our server was funny and speedy. What more does one need? More
OpenTable Diner -
The restaurant is small and unpretentious which this reviewer sees as a plus. The small restaurant spills into the community via a large sidewalk. This is a great metaphor for the food. Great traditional Italian food with with local flair. I mean great Italian food. The pasta is perfection both for the rich (but not overdone) sauces and al dente to perfection. The service was great. I minor mixup resulted in a comped dessert we would not have ordered. Goat cheese soufflé with a raspberry sorbet. I am still thinking about it. It was amazing. I highly recommend it. We will go back. More

Another great meal at 5 Napkins Burger in the Upper West Side. The food and service lived up to the expectations that have been set last year. More
OpenTable Diner -
The pizza is outstanding, exactly like it is in Rome: crisp thin crust, fresh tomato sauce, superior ingredients. The Insalata Mezzogiorno is delicious - so glad it's back on the menu! The pastas are delicious and authentic, too. More
OpenTable Diner -
I love coming here every time. The vibe is perfect. Everyone is always so nice and they’re always paying attention to your needs. Whenever I bring a friend here, they always come back and bring their friends too. It’s such a gem, I almost feel bad about exposing my favorite secret with everyone. More

What a perfect neighborhood bistro. The families are there earlier in the evening, giving it a warm vibe, followed by the adults later around 8. Food is super great. Service is super great. Love the wine by the glass list. All in all, a delight. More

Haven't been to Arte in years. Rediscovered how good and unpretentious it is. I had the orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage and it was really delicious. Lots of sausage, lots of pasta, very flavorful sauce. Next time I'll try the cacio e pepe and hope it's as good! More

I don't often write reviews but felt I absolutely had to for Cafe 21. I am so happy this restaurant is now open to the public! The food was absolutely delicious and obviously so fresh. Love that everything is organic also! The menu has such creative options with enough of a variety to keep everyone happy! The staff was super attentive without being overbearing and the ambiance is beautiful and so cozy!! I have had both dinner and brunch at Cafe 21 and will definitely be going back! More

Dinner on April 21, 2018 was great. To begin my husband and I shared the tri-color salad. We followed with the seared scallops over spring vegetables which were delicious. The tartufo was a perfect end to a perfect meal expertly timed and served. We look forward to our next visit. More

carnivore paradise, just keep the little disk green and the carver keep showing up with lots of delectably grilled meats. and don't miss the beef rib! More
OpenTable Diner -
We have eaten at French Roast many times, but this was one of our best meals ever. We shared an escargot appetizer and shared the steak with epoisses sauce. Both were delicious. The latter was part of their stinky cheese week menu and was worth the visit. Service was friendly and did not rush us - we wanted a relaxing evening of talk. We recommend French Roast was one of the gems on the Upper West Side. More
OpenTable Diner -
Always relaxed & great!*:) More

I am from Italy and this will be the place I will go when I want to eat like in Italy. The service is fast and friendly, I will certainly go back again, soon. More

Anniversary dinner: as always, food, service and ambiance. Excellent. We go here every 3 to 5 months. And are always surprised how good Indian food is. Excellent 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

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.
