Restaurants near Fifth Avenue 53rd Street

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!

This was our first time at one of the quality brand restaurants. It was a fantastic experience. The French onion soup was so cheesy and delicious just what we wanted after a cold day walking around the city. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was also so simple but so delicious. The staff were so friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary and we were greeted from every staff member serving us wishing us a happy anniversary along with a card and a dessert. It was very special and we will be back again.

This was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.

Amazing all around top notch food and service. Made us feel like family.

Had a wonderful meal and excellent service, will definitly go back. Must try Zabaione as dessert, is delicious.
