Best Restaurants for Business Meals in New City

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.

The wait staff is very accommodating, and Wanting to please. The drinks/Cocktails are exceptional. All in all a very nice experience. They gave a very reasonable time between courses, and even asking for the order. So much food. but very kind about wrapping up all the leftover as well. The restaurant is very well run excellent administrative staff all around! Would recommend

Has the lunch menu which is great value: mushroom veloute and branzino a la plancha. The dining room was full at lunchtime on a weekday which was surprising. Service was nevethless efficient and dishes were served promptly and cooked to perfection. Never a surprise at L"Escale.

Always a great experience when I eat at Red Hat!! Whether its sitting outside during the summer or celebrating with friends at our annual holiday dinner - we have had our friends holiday dinner at Red Hat every year...and it is our place. The food is great, it is so very beautiful, and the service is on point!!

Lovely Christmas luncheon with my staff. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with long-standing very attentive staff. Spinach pie is always a standout along with any fish. A wonderful leisurely lunch.
