- KKarenVIPNew York City •19 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI thought the mussels were really good, and my husband loved his steak with chimichuri. This is a good choice for a meal before a performance at Lincoln Center—prompt and good service. A little loud for my own tastes, but most restaurants are.More infoThe Smith- Lincoln SquarePrice: Moderate• American• Lincoln Square•4.6

- SsalvatoreNew York City •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIf 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.More infoCafe LuxembourgPrice: Expensive• French American• Upper West Side•4.8
- PPaulNew York City •19 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 7, 2025Excellent service in a great setting. This is our go-to place prior to the opera a the Met. I had the recommended salad: lightly dressed arugula with walnuts, cheese, tiny tomatoes....very good. The lamb chops were done to order with a rich dark sauce that was just the right touch. My partner had a hamburger...said it was the tastiest but slightly over temp for her. We both finished with the bruleed lemon tart, which is always a show-stopper/More infoCafe FiorelloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lincoln Square•4.7
