Best Casual Restaurants in Morningside-Lenox Park

We really enjoyed Grana! Food was excellent. We ordered the garlic bread, the hot honey pepperoni pizza, and the rigatoni pasta. All three dishes were excellent! All were served quickly even though the restaurant was packed. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back!

We have enjoyed the food and service at Chops for more than 20 years. It remains our favorite restaurant for a special occasions and romantic dinners. However, we have noticed that the clientele has changed significantly, which has reduced our satisfaction with the dining experience. We are hoping that Chops will re-Institute a dress policy that is more representative of a five star dining experience. Also, we were not a fan of the Valentine’s Day menu. Although there were many options, we felt nickel and dime with the additions we selected for Cyde dishes and appetizers. We ended up spending a lot more than we normally would have for the same meal. Nonetheless, we remain loyal patrons of our favorite restaurant! Thanks!

The hosts was rude and did not go in order of people that came in. Waited 15 minutes until 10 pm for my reservations. A couple came in two minutes before 10 was seated at the table before others that was waiting patiently. I ask was it some kind of order or something. She cut me off and said oh well what your name. Shocked I told her my name and she stated you can come on ,turn to the waiter who was shocked aswell to seat us. Being my first time there was very surprised with the level of customer service our But the waiter was very nice and he apologize for the inconvenience.

Had a great experience, I’ll definitely be returning. Our server was sweet and attentive . The hookah, drinks & food came out fast even tho it was Valentine’s Day and it was packed. The only reason I’m giving 4 star is because I didn’t like the 75 minute table time, we felt rushed towards the end when we were trying to enjoy our drinks and hookah. And the valet drivers took forever to get our car, so we were standing in the cold freezing. But other than that the restaurant itself is 8/10, next time I’ll come on a not so busy day .

From the moment we walked into Saints + Council, I knew we were in for something special. The ambiance, a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, set the tone for an unforgettable culinary journey. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to make recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Every dish we ordered was a celebration of flavors. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each course was a masterpiece. We started with the crab dip and fried cauliflower, both a delightful fusion of fresh ingredients and bold flavors that danced on the palate. For the main course, I indulged in the salmon, cooked to perfection with a rich sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. We’ve all had our fair share of salmon, but this was next level! Every bite was tender and bursting with flavor, paired beautifully with crispy potatoes and asparagus. Dessert was the grand finale. The bread pudding was nothing short of perfection, a harmonization of textures and flavors that left me craving more. Overall, S+C exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!
