This Michelin rated restaurant makes for a great special occasion dinner. The best value is had in the 3 course prix fixe, or you can splurge for the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing.
My Turbot was AMAZING! Daniel makes a special occasion even more special.
Great French restaurant, always a special occasion. I would pick Bouley if I had to pick between the two but Daniel makes for a lovely evening as well.
Best old school Italian food on the UES. Great wine list. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Great for special occasions.
The food is unequivocally delicious! Sit at the bar for great drinks and great conversation. Wonderful service.
Actress Phoebe Cates calls this UES spot her "sanctuary of sanity" in this week's NY Diet. She and husband Kevin Kline love the steak au poivre. Read more.
Best sushi find!! $80 omakase small Japanese traditional find! BYO to top it all off!!
Go go go. You will not find a a better sushi experience than at this 10-seat, omakase-only hole in the wall in New York.
Very expensive, but worth it! Highest quality fish and preparation. Special occasion and healthy
The restaurant is inside Gagosian Gallery. Along with traditional sushi and entrees, you find some unique stuff like fish pasta. Desserts all have slight Japanese twist!
Skip the sushi and go for speciality dishes such as the fake pastas made from seafood (uni cauliflower pasta), uni risotto, & beef fois sukiyaki. Great Austrian dessert wine! Bad selection of teas.
Truly some of the best sushi in New York. Get the omakase and sit back and enjoy. But be warned this is a special occasion meal. If you indulge it may end up costing 4-5 hundred dollars!
Great omakase! One of the best in the city!
An exquisite raw fish experience with uniquely crafted pieces. Try the tuna with tofu cream, flounder with lotus chip, and the foie gras sushi.
Great lunch deal (drinks and tapas 3 for 15) and highly recommend the shrimp and octopus on the regular menu
Looking to throw a party? The chef's menu ($40 per person) is for parties of 6 or more. It covers all the greatest Spanish tapas, while mixing in seasonal specialties to keep things interesting. Read more.
Sit at the bar. Make friends w/the bartenders, they know the ins & outs. Samantha was a huge help & her recommendations were spot on. Squid -spinach garbanzo bean salad-shrimp-shishito peppers.
Totally decadent gluten-free experience. Go here for a special occasion! Read more.
Great cocktails and lots of menu choices. I like the tequila martini and beef carpaccio (carpaccio di manzo).
Amazing artichoke salad! And get the wheat penne with black truffle oil.. Delish
yummy Sunday brunch and a calm atmosphere. Great combo. Read more.
Best for wine and apps only. Main courses are average.
Try the gnocchi ai fromaggi and a Montepulciano wine.
Grilled octopus. JUST DO IT. All day, every day. And the dip plate. And shrimp saganaki. And lemon potatoes. Seriously, this place is utterly amazing. Just don't take my bar seat - pointing at you.
Local gem. Must try when on upper east side.
Great spot that does lovely live jazz. Really intimate vibe while still having great energy.
This is the real thing. A place for Gotham insiders. Gold leaf ceilings and enchanting murals by Madeline author and illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans. Arrive by 8pm and take a small table near the piano.
At the only place where Bemelman’s art work is publicly displayed, Tony has a martini saying “a room like this calls for a classic.” As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
Incredible restaurant very reasonably priced with a dope atmosphere. Even a dj. Also next door to bloomies and Dylan's candy bar :)
Delicious food, prompt service and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend the striped bass and walnut cake. A lovely new addition to neighborhood!
Get the side dish of pasta ~delicious and less costly. Sea bass is pricey but heavenly.
This place is The temple of food!
They'll make you any pasta you want but I'd recommend penne vodka - I've never had a better!
Omg the Arancini is amazing here! So crispy!
Amazing wine selection. Super romantic - great place to take a date :)
Give them a few weeks to get their feet wet. Service at the bar was horrendous on opening night.
Get the Farro salad and brick chicken. You won't regret it! Also, the bubbly wines and cocktails are good as well.
You can't go wrong with the tagliatelle or orecchiette special if it's available. The burrata app and Brussels are also great. But whatever you do, get the eggplant. And of course pay with Cover!
Awesome orecchiette. It sounds a bit spicy, but it's got the right amount of kick. Try the brussels sprouts too, and don't forget to pay with Cover!
Perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner, this French bistro has all the best classic dishes. Try the French onion soup, and the steak tartar with frites and finish with a chocolate soufflé.
This is the most underated restarant in the city. The steak tartare is probably the best in the country. I've never had a bad meal here. Also, I've never had an issue with the servers being rude.
The BEST Steak Tartare in town!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
