On another beautiful evening in NYC we decided to dine outside at The Smith. It was a great choice as we were treated so well and enjoyed excellent food. We started with two wonderful appetizers the roasted tomato soup and black truffle arancini. We then moved on to the steak and The Smith Burger. Both were prepared to our liking and the French fries and roasted squash sides were satisfying. We finished with the very tasty sticky toffee pudding and apple tart. Yes it was a good night at The Smith.

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.

The food was delicious, with unique recipes that made each dish stand out. The cozy, lively vibe added to the experience, and the friendly wait staff ensured we felt welcome. Service was quick, making it an ideal spot for a great meal without the wait.

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.

Had a nice lunch here during our visit to NYC. Food was great. Service was great. Near Central Park. Nice atmosphere and open to outside with nice weather. I had the chicken pot pie. Tasted good. I dumped it out on the plate though because it wouldve taken ages to cool. Hubby had fish and chips and said it was great.

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.

We love this place!! The food is always so delicious and fresh! The service is great and the staff is always very friendly. We love getting the table side hand made guacamole! The chips are tasty as well. We like the enchilada dish. We always find ourselves coming back here! It’s so good!

I really wanted to like it but, ehh. The menu I was handed was dirty and sticky. The service was underwhelming. The food is neither good nor bad. It’s cost efficient. The green sauce wasn’t spicy and had no flavor or kick. The carnitas were tender but also flavorless. There wasn’t enough pickled onions and not enough pickles in the onion either. Maybe I’ll try again another day.

Great two storied Mexican café and restaurant with outdoor dining options that are available almost year round. Fantastic food selections and cocktails that are surprisingly good but size-wise they may have some wondering [what’s this?]. Overall wonderful combos nevertheless. The outdoor tables are especially nice during the better part of the dryer seasons even in autumn, here in Manhattan. Very sensational location situated directly from the Lincoln Square’s main plaza and the fountain. And within walking distance of the No. 1-subway line entrances a couple of blocks away. A definite stopover before or after the opera begins, or when the concert or film ends to grab a bite and schmoozing with friends or colleagues at a table. Reasonable prices and moderately expensive. Plus some great late after-hours Happy Hours too through the weeknights and weekend vibes. With several locations located across the cityscape for convenient accommodations.

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.

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.

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.

The charcuterie tray was one of a kind. My items made by the chef. Octopus was made to perfection. Coq au vin was also very good and a modernized version very nice flavors. Desert was different cheesecake diplomat was very good

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.

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….

Biggest bang for the buck, for Michelin worthy food, but not yet a star. Every single dish we ordered was just absolutely delectable.

Have eaten at Lincoln Ristorante a couple of times over the years. This was the first time we've been here for Thanksgiving. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The 3 course pre-fix at 95 dollars per person also seemed fair as well for the experience we had. We highly recommend Lincoln Ristorante and would definitely come back again over Thanksgiving time or any other time for that matter. This is an excellent restaurant.

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!
J. Ochs - a year ago

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.

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.
Stacey Quandt - a year ago

My first visit to Boulud Sud will not be my last. The food and drinks were exceptionally delicious. We chose the restaurant week menu to try it out, and each course was exciting. The Mediterranean flavors are evident in everything including cumin, citrus and sesame. The staff may have been slightly overattentive, but we were happy with the care. The interior is a welcoming open space with comfortable seating and a bar in front. I'm excited to return for the tasting menu. With delivery prices on mediocre food so expensive now, dining in on outstanding food is the antidote.

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’ve recently visited this place for the first time. It’s been a goal since forever and I’ve finally made it. After a wonderful time had at Tamron Hall’s last taping, I wanted to treat myself to some Magnolia’s treats. I ordered the following: Fully Loaded Icebox Bar, Banana Pudding, Cheesecake, Magic Bar and Apple Crisp Pudding. Yes yes, I ordered so much because I don’t know when the next time I will be in the city. Well, while on route back to Jersey, I devoured their Magic Bar. That was my top favorite OMG. It didn’t even make it home. I had to take a pic of it while at a traffic light just for picture taking lol. When I got home, I noticed that my apple pudding wasn’t placed in the bag. However, when I called to make this report, management was so accommodating and quick with addressing the issue. Looking forward to returning, especially for that Magic Bar lol.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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 - 4 months ago

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.

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!

Love Cafe Fiorello! New York institution. Located right across Lincoln center, so it’s a nice place to eat before show or have antipasto bar and drinks after show.Thin crust pizza is my favorite. Nice atmosphere and good food. Indoor and outdoor seating.

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!

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.
Joanie Axelbaum - 3 months ago

Very fast paced restaurant, excellent before a show at lincoln center. I would say the vegetable sides that are on display at the antipasto bar was my favorite part. The veggie sides were so yummy....Great flavor, good portion sizes, and quick service. I ate the eggplant parmigian as entree which was superb. Good portion size and flavor on point. Service was alright. Price was a little high but i felt very satisfied with what i ate and what i paid at the end of everything. It was worth it I will be back, the food, quality of food and selection of options made this place a true 5 star experience.

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Atlantic Grill on the Upper West Side, just steps away from Central Park. This low-key yet elegant spot has an ambiance that's both cozy and inviting, making it the perfect escape from the city's buzz. The restaurant's quiet, intimate atmosphere, frequented by locals, adds to its charm--it's a place where you can truly enjoy a relaxed evening out. The culinary experience was just as impressive as the setting. I started with the octopus carpaccio, which was fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned, followed by the salmon tartar--light and refreshing, with a beautiful balance of flavors. For mains, I opted for the seafood paella and the shrimp curry. The paella was generously packed with a medley of fresh seafood, and the shrimp curry had just the right amount of spice to leave a memorable kick. If you're looking for a refined yet unpretentious spot for seafood on the Upper West Side, Atlantic Grill is a gem worth visiting. Perfect for an evening with friends or a quiet dinner for two!

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.

I have yet to have anything I did not love in this establishment. The staff is beyond amazing, especially Kayla who makes every visit into a holiday for me. She is amazing. I have to say she is more amazing than the salmon but only fairly as the salmon is pretty outstanding. I recommend everything here, but the sushi is to die for. I’m currently enjoying the preheater dinner which included tuna, Tartar and the salmon that I’m going to show picture, it’s all fantastic

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.

Oh, des Artistes I love you. A New York gem of a building and ambiance to dine in. The jazz brunch is my favorite time to dine, with delicious options of more breakfast oriented and also pasta or steak options if you’re feeling like diving in. The menu is excellently curated with a diversity of flavors and colors, from salads to seafood and meats between dishes like the tuna tartare, steak and eggs, ragu pasta and some fun desserts like the Zabaione prepared in front of the table. Banana pancakes with ricotta is a classic for brunch. The food is good quality and menu is great but I feel some of the dishes are unbalanced, too salty or sweet, and I’ve had a couple underwhelming dinners so four. (Overcooked steak, pasta with very little sauce, a complaint). The sparking and white wines are great, but you’d be missing out if you didn’t also indulge in some of the exquisite reds from their extensive Italian wine list (by region/ wine character). Overall, dining at The Leopard can be an excellent experience, thank you.

Our reviews had over 52 million in the last 12 months. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love The Leopard at Des Artistes. Love it This is a great place to eat. The building used to be a hotel for artists but now is a high end condo bldg. The Restaurant was run by the artists for years, but now is run by a very high end group. First class room, first class service and the food is out of this world. Started with the marinated anchovies that were bright but not too strong. Just right. Love the meatballs app and the black truffle custard with asparagus. Both are must haves. I had the spaghetti carbonara which had just the right amount of sauce and huge chunks of homemade bacon. Really good. She had the old family Lasagna recipe which was full of flavor and great texture. We had many desserts. One of the best was prepared tableside. It is a custard poured over fruit. I do not know the name but it was really good. It was a beautiful evening and we will be back again for sure. LOVED IT. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 36 million views so far this year and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and FUN.

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.
