A restaurant where you can enjoy American style specialties like French Toast, Pancakes and any kind of eggs. The flavor of the food is acceptable but nothing to write home about. The waitstaff on the contrary are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service, wide menu, and fun vibe. Particularly great option for a group as there is something for everyone. We have been for brunch (you can actually reserve a table a few days rather than weeks ahead) and dinner and they are equally good.

Delicious food and pleasant atmosphere. Tried the calamari, burger, and the avocado toast and all of it was very tasty. The outside seating is very nice and staff is great.

Awesome place. Thank you to our waitress was so kind and efficient. the only thing i didn't like was the penne was too hard for my taste and the ink squid pasta was a little blend, but other than that we had a great experience and the other dishes were amazing. Also didn't get why they cut the shrimp into pieces for the ink squid pasta dish never seen such thing (:

We actually walked in with out a reservation, the place was quiet full and we were offered to sit outdoors which I wasn't pleased with since it was my Birthday weekend, then the host went and ask the Manager Tanya and we were able 😀 to sit indoors. As time went on and chatting to Tanya, we found out that she's from the same town in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 as my wife is... the Waiter Anthony (Tony) was on point, very knowledgeable and friendly, I ask for recommendations and they were all Great... I was surprised with a wonderful ch-cake and a candle 🕯 for my Birthday 🥳... Once again Thank you very much to Tanya and Tony for making my Birthday a wonderful one, will definitely come back on my next visit to NYC... Much Appreciated ❤️. I almost forgot, you guys make The Best Old fashion...

Good spot for some old school burgers. We tried the Bearnaise and the Cadillac burgers. Personally, I really liked the Cadillac. That said, the highlight for me was definitely the fries. So deliciously crispy. Good service too overall.

Easiest place to go if seeing a show over at Lincoln Center. Lots of space - a basement level with equal service (bartenders down there are excellent) and it’s fast. Can be pricey. They oysters, at least, were $4 a pop. Oy! They make excellent drinks.

Stopped here to eat a few weeks ago before going to see Shen Yun. We ordered our food including Calamari for an appetizer & side of onion rings. Our food came out but we never got the Calamari or the onion rings. A new waiter came over & we told him we never received the other items. He apologized & checked our order & it was never put in by the previous waitress, who was now off, since they were in between shift changes. We told him it was okay but we now didn’t want it. A few minutes later the GM Kairsten Nunn came over with our onion rings & said the calamari was also coming out. She apologized gave us the items on the house & was extremely professional. She even came back again to check on us to make sure we were ok & gave use her card for a free app on our return visit.The food was also great. Great food & great service. Thank you Kairsten. We will definitely be back again.

Very nice restaurant, hyper friendly service, and a good menu. There are several raw dishes, including a nice variety of oysters. Price are normal for a NY restaurant (expensive, but no more than others). I enjoyed a really good meal here, with a Clarke's Burger. It's been a while since I tasted the pure meat and simple ingredients that made hamburgers famous. No bacon, cheese, caramelized onions. Just the basics. And the cheesecake ... A real New York one! It was a great experience, recommended.

We had a wonderful experience at Rosa Mexicano. They were very accommodating to our large group, and the guacamole table service was delicious. The duck and fish tacos were a highlight, and their drinks were great too. Clean bathrooms and super friendly staff made it even better. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! The drinks are top-notch and the service is exceptional. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to recommend a new cocktail or dish to try. Overall, this establishment truly sets the bar high for quality and customer satisfaction.

Belen was an exceptional waitress; great recommendations, very attentive and a lovely warm manner. The food was very good - I had been recommended this restaurant by a Mexican born foodie I met in the city, and it didn't disappoint! I had ceviche, guacamole (mixed at the table, a great touch) and the shrimp tacos. Absolutely delicious! Try to come here if you're anywhere near the area for a welcoming atmosphere and an authentic taste! ☺️🙏
Jess Dams - 2 weeks ago

Great experience! Ordered the pomegranate margaritas, a must, and they were delicious. The nachos with grilled, jumbo shrimp did not disappoint. My daughter had the child's chicken quesadilla which was delicious and more than enough. The ceviche and shrimp cocktail were also fabulous. 👌

I love Bar Boulud. I go there whenever I attend Lincoln Center concerts by the NY Philharmonic and also the NYC Ballet. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating with a great bar and food. I had the French Onion Soup with Balsamic Brussel Sprouts. The Gateau Aux Mures – Devils Food Cake, Blackberry Mousse, and Red Wine Chantilly. One of their Signature Cocktails – La Poire Rouge – Trimbach Poire Williams, Lemon, Pomegranate, Ginger. A beautiful interior tastefully decorated, great atmosphere and excellent staff. One of my favorite eateries in NYC.

We made an unexpected visit to Bar Bolud who were immediately able to accommodate our party of three; lucky us! I thought that the location, space and service were great and I found the food tasty. I particularly enjoyed my Parisian Love cocktail. All the wait staff were excellent. I would recommend it.

I ate here on a Sunday evening. Dined outside on the terrace. I utilized their 3 course prix-fixe menu. The food quality was very good, the presentation was very nice, and the food was good to me. I loved the melon-burrata salad. Very tasty! Service was excellent, attentive, but not obtrusive. The female sommelier was very on point.

Hidden Gem My Friend and I found ourselves in the area after walking through Central Park. After looking up places to eat near us, we found Lincoln Ristorante. We were not expecting to find such a beautiful building designed in glass with a grass roof in the middle of Lincoln Center! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. We were sat immediately and greeted by our kind server. We asked for recommendations and nothing disappointed. We had cocktails, shared entrees and shared desserts. I've been to New York a number of times and I look forward to making this a staple for each visit following.

Not quite as good as it should be given the prices but the perfect pre-opera location. Himachi was incredibly skimpy but tasty. Salad was very good but not super fresh. Excellent service and atmosphere. It’s tough to find a good place near Lincoln Center…. Recent visit the food was incredibly oversalted so bad got salt shock and had to leave theater at intermission. The waiter did not know what al dente meant (and guessed wrong). But worst was overhearing some angry waiter (or bartender!) say “damn customers” loud enough we could hear. Won’t be back. Came back a year later - the pastas were excellent and so was the dessert. The restaurant did a shockingly bad no-no though - gave us a bill, and then we give them the card and when they give it back to us to sign they add a glass of wine -?! Cost them a star….

Excellent service and delicious food. The wine list is extensive and can get very pricey. The Gelato al cioccolato was delicious! We all enjoyed our meals and it was very convenient being next to the Metropolitan Opera.

Elegant Lincoln Center restaurant will not disappoint. We came here for the Prix Fixe Thanksgiving Dinner and it was an excellent dining experience. I started with the Burrata which was delicious. The traditional turkey dinner was moist and fresh, with tasty sides including brussel sprouts and spatzle. The pumpkin pie for dessert was creamy, and included a delicious side of sorbet. Service was attentive and friendly. I was very thankful for this meal.

We dined here during restaurant week. The restaurant features an open dining room with a bar and an open kitchen. Great airy atmosphere. The service was outstanding! We had the restaurant week 3-course menu and it was one of the most delicious three course meals that we had in a long time. Our party had one person with special dietary needs and they accommodated this so well. We can’t wait to come back and taste options from the regular menu!

Excellent presentation and execution in all the food. The baked goods were probably my favorite items and the cured salmon, which tasted heavenly. Surprisingly at the other end the barbecue meat tasted bland despite being cooked to perfect tenderness. It was hard to resist ordering the delicious looking orders for the table, but the prix fixe was plenty of food, even slightly too much. The service was good, friendly, though it seemed too busy at times.
Javier Kohen - 2 years ago

The front of the house staff were very accommodating with my reservation time request. The young lady waiting for my table was excellent. The staff were very welcoming. Flavors for the food could use some improvement, the Moroccan Chicken was very good but the citrus flavors were too strong for my liking. For dessert I selected the Grapefruit Givré, I enjoyed part of the dessert but not all of them. I regret picking this option, but your experience will vary.
Yu Tian - 11 months ago

Dined at Boulud Sud prior to a show at Lincoln Center. The bread, lemon saffron pasta and sorbets are excellent. I am familiar with the flavor profile of Tagine chicken and other than the skin not being crisp there was nothing truly wrong about it. I just would not order it again. The highlight was the Hawaiian prawn special which was so delicious. The service is outstanding.

What a gastronomical experience. Chef Christina serves only the absolutely best concept and flavor whilst keeping service extremely quick. Calling the dinner a masterpiece would be an understatement. Will recommend to anyone who visits NYC

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Magnolia Bakery is an absolute delight! 😍 The ambiance is charming, and the service is exceptional. 😊 We tried their famous Banana Pudding 🍌🍮 and Key Lime Pie 🍋‍🟩, and both were heavenly! 👌🍰 The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the desserts were so fresh! Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth. 🍬 Can't wait to visit again!
Luí O’Brien - 3 months ago

Just visited Magnolia Bakery and had to try their two famous treats: the banana pudding and a cupcake! For Banana pudding , the vanilla custard was smooth and perfectly sweet, with fresh banana slices that added a delightful counterpoint. Magnolia offers a wide variety of cupcake flavors, so there's something for everyone. I went with the classic chocolate , and it was fluffy, moist, and delicious. A few seats were available. The branch is located near American Museum of Natural History.

I finally made my way over to Magnolia Bakery! I got the classic banana pudding as well as the special (strawberry pudding). My favorite was the strawberry pudding. It was creamy, not too sweet and you can definitely taste the strawberry flavor and chunks. The classic banana was as equally delicious. Would I stop in and get it again? Probably not. It didn't really stand out to me. I would, however try out other specials and flavors. My container also had little chunks of pudding all over it. Which I didn't particularly like. Overall if you love banana pudding and don't know how to make it. This is definitely your spot.

Great bakery in a beautiful location, just two blocks away from Central Park! I have had a couple of their items throughout my time in the city, but I really enjoy the banana pudding! I think the banana pudding is one thing that shouldn't be missed when in NYC!

I have visited Cafe Fiorello a couple of times, and both have been fantastic! My first visit was for dinner, and it was a great experience. A lovely couple who frequented the restaurant chatted with me telling me their favorites. I had the fried artichokes (after falling in love with them in Rome) and pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Both wonderful! So good in fact that I ordered the same when I returned. A lovely spot for lunch or dinner!

Lovely Italian spot near Lincoln Center. Outdoor seating there is really nicely done. They have brunch and all day Italian menu on the weekend. I enjoyed my avocado toast with smoked salmon. Drinks were very tasty too.

I had a blast at this restaurant! The ambiance was lovely, the lights in the restaurant romantic and the music 🎶 ! Our waiter was so nice and personally made sure we had a good time, besides the delicious food he brought us. He gave us detailed explanation on the questions we asked about food and threw couple jokes, which was very, very nice! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh! I had Caprese salad with chicken, loved the olive oil. Beautifully decorated plate. Vanilla gelato was perfect end to a lovely dinner. Will be back again!

Nice seafood restaurant near Central Park. My group and I were wearing attire that might be considered less than appropriate, but thankfully were seated anyway. I do feel like we were treated weirdly because of it, but maybe it was just how the staff is. It was later in the evening so it was pretty much empty; we weren't wasting space or anything. For my entree, I got the beef cheeks, which was fantastic. I loved every bit of it. I finished off with the churros and they were also good, although the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. Still, we had a great meal here and I'd recommend coming dressed up even just a little.

A very chill yet formal atmosphere. Staff was super professional and on top of everything. I tried the crab ravioli and really liked it I also tried the walnut noir dessert which was also great!. It is high end so expect to spend a lot.

We had a fabulous experience at The Leopard for my husband’s birthday. One of our group of four was delayed about 20 minutes due to a flight issue, yet we were promptly seated without him so that he could join us when the flight issue was resolved. We appreciated being seated despite our party not being complete! The night we went, there was some kind of private event going on so we had to sit outside. However, the outdoor seating was lovely - the best outdoor dining experience I’ve had yet in the city! It was a warm evening and yet the mosquitoes didn’t bite me to death, and the turf grass was a really nice touch. Our server was incredible. She was a true professional. She had excellent recommendations and she also sent over an excellent sommelier when we were deciding on wine. The wine was fantastic - a smoky, earthy French wine that I don’t recall the name of (forgot to snap a pic of the bottle 🤦‍♀️) and the sommelier steered us in a perfect direction. While the pre-dinner cocktails and dishes themselves came out slowly due to the private event, the staff was very accommodating and expressed their apologies. The food really made everything perfect. For dessert, everyone got something sweet except for me — I had their cheese plate. Highly recommend. Definitely recommend going here for a special event! And you need a reservation! All in all, it was lovely.

Enjoyed a prix fixe menu during restaurant week. It's a cozy, relatively small, culinary joint with a rustic theme. Only half way into the dinner, did I notice their murals along the wall, which I believe they are also known for. The food was very good and I was satisfied with the portion size. Service was impeccable. I'm not cultured enough to understand the concept of a coat check. Therefore, I was glad to find out their coat check was optional. Overall a fine dining experience.

My friend and I decided to celebrate our birthday here and it was absolutely the right place. The ambience is perfect. We followed the advice of the staff and ordered most of the food and the service impeccably. Will definitely want to come back for other meals.

Went there prior to a show at Lincoln Center. There was a private event that was ending right when reservations were starting for the evening, all in the same space! There were people being seated while the defeaning voices from the people standing were all around us. This left many of us very annoyed and irate. Some guests got up and left. When the remaining people finally cleared out. The service was pretty slow and understaffed. The setting felt more like a hotel lobby area converted into a " restaurant." My wife ordered the filet mignon. It basically had no seasoning. The octopus appetizer was pretty good. Overall, even after the " event" crowd had cleared out, the restaurant seemed too loud and not conducive to easy conversation. It was a bit of a disappointment.
