Best restaurants near me in Rockefeller Center Midtown, NY

Wonderful experience. There was some confusion about my reservation due to the tree lighting ceremony, and the restaurant was extremely gracious and accommodating. Delicious food and great ambiance as always. It is my go-to for business lunches and I’m looking forward to continuing to enjoy their food and service.

This was our first time to restaurant. The ambiance is wonderful from the start. There is a large ‘outdoor’ bar area that would be fun in warmer weather (it’s in a thru alcove between streets so warm enough in December for adventurous folks to sit outside even now). The inside was packed on all the multiple levels, so it is noisy. We had the lobster bisque and onion soup as appetizers, both were excellent). For dinner the chateaubriand for two. It was cooked perfectly as were the vegetables and mashed potatoes. We tried the black sesame seed crème brûlée, but it was just too much sesame. The usual crème brûlée was very tasty. The service, even as packed as they were on this holiday season Wednesday, was fast. The food arrived hot and quickly after ordering. It was also cleared quickly, and there was no pressure to get us out as we enjoyed our decaf and dessert. We plan on returning during our next trip into the city.

Shout out to Travis and our Server Danny...Travis for getting my wife and I a table before our 8pm reservation, and Danny for providing excellent service and keeping us smiling from beginning to end....you guys are the reason why we love Del Friscos so much...Thanks!

Our 1st time at Carmines. Had a reservation for 7pm and was seated in 5 mins. Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. About $40 dollars for meatballs and pasta which fed 3 of us. Server told us not to over order which was great advice. Thought the prices were decent considering it’s right in Times Square. Overall an excellent experience and would go back and recommend to family and friends visiting NYC ❤️

Don't order Chicken Paillard. It was very dry. Everything else was great. We ordered crab cake, lobster salad, fries and steak, branzino, and scallops. Chocolate mousse and ice cream cake are so good. Service was good but did require a lot of weaving hands to get attention during the peak hour. Overall a very good experience.
