Restaurants near West 104th Street Garden

Our waiter was fantastic and sharp, the bussboys were great and friendly, the gentleman who brought our food was quick and very nice, and we were greeted by the manager when we were walking to our table, all great stuff!! BUT the thing that we were disappointed with was with the hostess. She was very blasé and seemed like we had annoyed her as we approached the hostess table. Instead of saying "how can I help you," she was chatting it up with her co-workers as we waited. When she finally did get to us she seemed like we upset her. That short interaction got the experience off to a bad start. BUT things quickly turned around and aside from that, our experience at Carmine's was great!! Very big portions which is great to share. Pasta was tasty and wifey approved! :) Drinks were absolutely Great!! We will come here again and try a new dish.

The staff from the cheerful and helpful hostess to servers to bus people were professional and friendly. Can't wait to return. What a wonderful reason to visit New York City.

Dining at La Grande Boucherie was an unforgettable experience. I visited with friends, and everything from the ambiance to the service was exceptional. We started with the tartare and octopus, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the steak, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared a variety of desserts, each one exquisite and a perfect ending to the meal. Our server, Nikola, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. A remarkable restaurant I can’t wait to return to!

Wonderful dinner as always! Food came out quickly and deliciously. We had the gnocci and the eggplant pizza. We also had two aperol spritzes.
