    If you’ve heard of Bad Roman and wondered if it was worth a resy - yes, yes it is. BR is an all around great spot, worth the hype. I was in a group of 4, sharing the full meal family style. Top 3 knock outs of the night were the spicy gem caesar, meat + pasta combo (ordered filet MR + cacio e pepe ravioli), and calamari but each and every item was delicious and worthy of high praise.

    My cousins Joe and Mary from Ireland and I had such a lovely dining experience at the one and only Tavern on The Green in Central Park. From the time I entered, I was greeted by several hostesses and they were all so welcoming and nice. I brought them a box of chocolates to wig them a Happy New Year. They told me that my cousins had arrived and they would show us to our table. She sat us at a beautiful table overlooking the outside at 2:45pm. We loved the assorted breads with butter and jelly. I loved the vegetable chicken soup. My cousins loved the Scottish Salmon and Chicken Paillard salad. The service was amazing-our server was a young Asian woman. We also had a male worker (he hails from Senegal, Africa) that helped clear our table and he was so nice and friendly. Fabulous time today!

    If you find a better value in the city, let alone on the upper West Side, please let me know. I'm always impressed by the quality of both the food and the service. It is not easy to be attentive without being intrusive. The staff at Cafe Luxembourg has apparently mastered that talent. As for the kitchen, they've been scoring 10's for as long as I can remember. I'm very appreciative of being able to enjoy a restaurant like this, where the food and service are both consistently superior and at a price that is most assuredly reasonable.

    I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

    The soupe au Pistou was fabulous. The Moules Provençale Ok. Needed an implement to hold mussel which is standard, but not supplied. They were very gracious about changing our table. My dinner partner tends to be very particular.
