Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Kips Bay

Very cozy and pleasant environment. Good diverse menu that can satisfy many palettes -- sort of a continental/french/italian fusion restaurant. Would please a foodie. Excellent service and wine advice and a fun playlist for an enjoyable evening. Seafood and steak specials were excellent, as were scallops, meatball sliders (though they tasted like a sausage/meatball hybrid), and chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back. Not a full bar but a beer/wine menu.

Fantastic thanksgiving experience — too much food but that is part of the holiday. Fortunately they were so kind in packing up leftovers — fresh portions of stuffing were given instead of giving you your actual leftover. Stellar place.

Outstanding experience with phenomenal sushi, tasty cocktail options, and the best 90s hip-hop. There are only 12 seats in the restaurant, right at the sushi bar, and seatings take place at the top of each hour. Highly recommend this omakase experience with sushi chefs preparing and presenting each piece right in front of you. Did we mention the bumping music!? So much fun and we'll definitely return.

Check my significant other out for this dining experience!! He had a great time and the instructions were very hands-on!! The instructor is such a lively person and makes the experience very pleasant!! Not to mention, they do have good drink options and versatile dining options. Also, it is very family friendly, which I enjoyed. Definitely will be participating in this experience again. 

My husband and I are from AL and in NYC for our wedding anniversary. I tried to surprise him with reservations to watch our beloved BAMA guys in the 3rd weekend in October game but The reservation process to watch the Alabama vs TN game was confusing and I messed up. Hostess April, server Matt, and server Taylor were phenomenal! April was able to move us to a booth in the BAMA area and we had an absolute blast! The food was good and I have to be gluten free, so feeling like Matt took it seriously, made the eating experience even better. The wings were baked and the sweet potato fries were fantastic! My husband had the nachos and loved the presentation! The only negative was the music; way too loud, but also, we’re 50, so we old. THANK YOU AND ROLL TIDE!!
