Best Comfort Food Restaurants in MiMo / Upper East Side

I go back again and again. It’s a beautiful place with just the right mix of people. The staff is professional and friendly (without being overly friendly). The steak frites is absolutely wonderful and just the perfect size. The grilled octopus is perfectly done and is a good portion.

I highly suggest anyone who dines at Blue Collar should indulge themselves and order the cornbread. Slather it in the honey-butter and enjoy the moment (you can always hit the treadmill tomorrow). Cannot say enough about the lentil soup that appeared with a spicy bite to it - delicious. For a main, ordered the open fire grilled pork chop - again delicious and moist. Shout-out to our server as well - she's a doll. Great experience overall.

Such an amazing time!! Marcos is theeee best!!!! I pray y’all pay him well… I’m a business owner & would love for him to come work for me lol Top tier service!

First time here and I am already making plans to come back! Service was quick, professional, and friendly. Made my overall experience amazing. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff (Shout out Freddy). One recommendation is to visit the restaurant early as popular items run out (understandable). But what was avaialbe was made to perfection.

I had the most delightful breakfast experience at Craft Midtown. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the morning. I ordered a perfectly brewed coffee and Eggs Florentine, which were simply outstanding—rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by Santi, our server. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everything was perfect. His recommendations and attention to detail made all the difference. Craft Midtown is now at the top of my list for breakfast spots. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another memorable meal with Santi’s impeccable service! Highly recommended.
