Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Murray Hill

Italian family style restaurant, very large dishes - we ordered 1 dish for 4. Delicious food with a cozy atmosphere. Polite service, a little bit slow, but in Italy is much more slower. Great place! Would absolutely return.

We may have gotten lucky because we went to Rock Center and had a reservation New Years Day. But our party of 6 was sat immediately upon checking in even though restaurant was busy. Good menu choices. Waiter attentive enough. Gave water right away but took awhile to come back to take order. Food came prompt, portions were good size and mostly delicious. Drink special was delightful and nice size. Def enjoyed our time there!

While some places lose it over time, Barbounia only continues to get better and better. The dishes are varied and spectacular and it is truly a treat to eat there.

My wife wanted to go here for the Christmas decorations It was our last meal before leaving for the airport and it didn't disappoint decorations better than expected service and food to match would highly recommend Only thing we booked for 12.45pm arrived 12.35pm People in queue in front of us that had reservations for 1.30pm spoke to head waiter and he got us a table ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This restaurant is a golden nugget hidden in plain sight. From the outside you’d have no idea how big the restaurant actually is. The atmosphere is perfect, a downtown vibe with a nice calming element. Staff were excellent and the food. The food was utterly incredible. We each had the ribeye cooked rare and I hands down believe it to be one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. For a Christmas Eve, our waiter was brilliant and I cannot fault the establishment enough.
