Michelle C.: NY Foodie Reco: App: braised pork belly, crispy oyster & Hatch chile kimchee Dinner: Smoked fettucini, w/uni, Hackleback caviar & pickled shallot, Dessert: choc. mousse
Tim Shey: A fun, faithful facsimile of gilded age Gotham, from the menu to the murals. Order the most old-school stuff on the menu and enjoy.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.

Sam McCrimson: One of my favs. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and of course unforgettable food. Aside from the must-have Black Cod with Miso, try the Stendhal chocolate mousse with rasp coulis - a 57 exclusive.
Catherine Payant: Ask for the limited foie gras dumplings (off menu!) they really are worth it!!! Also: Fantastic salmon sashimi with dried Miso (in photo).
Bravo: great Asian fusion and great bar. -Luann De Lesseps, Real Housewives of New York City

Ellie Manduriao: Steak was ok but not that good. We had cajun rib eye, colorado something steak, porterhouse, king salmon, choc mousse and coconut layered cake for dessert. Our only complaint was the waiter!
Jason Wong: Save some room for the coconut cake, you won't regret it

Roger V: Best burgers in mid-town. And my favorite wings anywhere.
Brad Garoon: It's at least as good as any fast food joint, and for the same cost, I’d grab a burger from here and french fries from McDonald’s if I were in the neighborhood and only had a few bucks on me. Read more.
Rudy G.: Good greasy spoon. Old fashioned narrow place with good burgers. Fries are good too! Plus they carry Boylan's!

Thai Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 167 tips and reviews
Marcel Briones: Obao elevates the standard black rice pudding by pairing it with a passion fruit mousse. Like fresh mango, a more common pairing, the mousse provides a floral acidity that makes this classic sing.
David Greenberger: One of the best lunch deals in Midtown (even on weekends). Go for the Pho Bo ($8) to heat you up on a cold day. Ask for extra noodles and make it two meals.
Dino O: Pho is always pho sho
