Seafood Restaurant · Midtown East · 403 tips and reviews
David Minkin: The tuna burger (only available at the bar or counter before 6pm) is freakin' huge and quite good. But in all honesty, if you want a tuna burger go to Lure. Their tuna burger is better.
Louis DeLavenne DeChoulot: Filetes de trucha ahumada. Sopa Bouillabaisse. Cuarteto de ensaladas del mar. Hamburguesa de atún sellado estilo oriental. Flagship seasonal brew, de aquí mero, New York !!!
Giovanni D'Palma: Swung by for a quick lunch, the tuna burger and the ipswitch sandwich were delicious and definitely try a few oysters!
Krystle: Fabulous stay here for my birthday. Rooms are spacious, hotel with class & elegance & great location. Also have a few drinks at the bar the bartender is a character & can make a mean martini.

Haya Al Dossary: Lovely view, cold rooms which is a plus for me, too bad about the mini bar though, $50 for moving a bottle of water? Yeesh!

Greek Restaurant · Rockefeller Center · 19 tips and reviews
Lorie Art: Best Greek food in Midtown. Go to restaurant during lunch breaks. The Mediterranean Meze is great! Lunch is $27.50 for a 3 course meal!
Eater: Long Island Greek fish restaurant Limani recently opened its second location. The name means seaport in Greek and appropriately offers a fish focused menu including whole fish baked in salt. Read more.
John E: Food is fantastic, particularly the chicken kebab, which keeps me coming back. Outdoor dining pop-up area during the summer is a rare find in this area. But service is consistently disappointing.

Scandinavian Restaurant · Midtown East · 106 tips and reviews
Chad Horner: one of the best dining experiences you can find in New York. i would recommend the chef's tasting, over the seasonal menu, if you only plan on doing this once
The Food Sluts: Awesome, precisely prepared, exquisitely plated Scandinavian food. We loved the Nordic seafood with butter-poached lobster, seared diver scallops and Montauk squid ($40). Read more.
Paul Oswald: Order a manhattan at Aquavit. Best Manhattan in Manhattan. Chase it with a Lychee Akvavit. Stumble home.

Mary P: Great rooftop bar! Great fish, great lamb, great duck!
Razorfish: A favorite rooftop bar come Spring and great place for entertaining clients.
Joanna Flamm: Fried Chicken Fridays are a perfect place to take a date. $25 for fried chicken, two sides, dessert, and live jazz. Make a reservation; they often fill up.

57 E 57th St, New York, NY
Hotel Bar · Midtown East · 16 tips and reviews
Nikki Beauchamp: Sit at the bar. Chat with the bartenders. Have the sliders .
Alberto Mann: Do not sit near the crabby 30-something wearing a Christmas sweater. His faux French cultural references fall dramatically short. Order an Old Fashioned and hire a pro instead.
The Corcoran Group: You're definitely paying for the atmosphere here at this deluxe Four Season Hotel lounge. Drinks are good, but the real star of the show is the kobe sliders.
