- EeileenNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI’m so happy we were able to make a reservation online! We Got our table right on time. Our server took care of us brilliantly! Shout out to Patty P, our server. She was lovely! She did a great job with explaining the menu and the specials, making suggestions for wine. And just overall entertaining. She did a fabulous job of getting us everything we asked for.More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6

- DDorinavipNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoPhenomenal experience. The staff was so courteous and attentive, and were very kind in managing our requests. The ambiance was superb of course, the historical Plaza Hotel speaks for itself. The tea was delicious and the menu was filled with interesting and delicatessen items (food you won't likely find in other places). We were also pleasantly full despite the seemingly small samplers. Definitely a special experience. Also the decor for the holiday season is beautiful in an elegant want. Highly recommend seeing it for yourself.More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4
- ACAmyCDallas - Fort Worth •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
- SSarahvipNew York City •125 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBurger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.More infoCentral Park BoathousePrice: Very Expensive• Continental• Upper East Side•4.6
