- JJulieNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoCafe Luxembourg is truly a neighborhood gem. I appreciated the kindness when I needed to change the reservation time and the attention to detail for the reservation. Our experience from start to finish exceeded expectations. Our server was was attentive and did not rush our dining experience even though they were busy. I definitely recommend the French onion soup and for my entree I had the delicious pork chop. I did learn that was an item that would eventually leave the menu. I was celebrating a birthday and ended with a sundae for sharing. Overall, this is a place where everyone feels welcome.More infoCafe LuxembourgPrice: Expensive• French American• Upper West Side•4.8
- VVirginiaNew York City •22 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIt was between lunch and dinner and we were actually asked where we would like to sit. Someplace cozy, we said, and were seated in a comfortable booth. The ambiance was warm and very Christmas in Manhattan. Everything we ordered was delicious - fried calamari, ratatouille crusted salmon, veal cutlet Parmesan - all tasty. As was the creamy pistachio ice cream.More infoCafe FiorelloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lincoln Square•4.7
- EElanaNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoAlways a wonderful experience dining here. The food is always consistently great and the staff always elevates the experience. Monica is a manager extraordinaire and goes the extra mile to make special occasions and every day meals sing. It's always a festive energy and truly one of my family's happy places on the Upper West Side!More infoThe Smith- Lincoln SquarePrice: Moderate• American• Lincoln Square•4.6
- TTedvipNew York City •12 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe staff is superb. The two front desk reception people greet perfectly, accompany guests to the assigned table and stop by to ensure all is well. Adrian, our server, is superb. Explained the menu, made good suggestions and despite the crowd made sure we were happy. The food is outstanding but the noise level is a disaster! We could not carry on a conversation without adding to the din. The room manager is also a very polite customer focused man who also stopped to insure we were happy. Noise aside, we will be back.:))More infoBad RomanPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper West Side•4.5
- MMollyAtlanta Metro •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoTucked into Central Park, Tavern on the Green was the perfect holiday experience to round out our Christmas in NYC trip! Cozy and festive decor paired with impeccable service and delectable food makes this a “must try” for anyone looking to soak in the magic that is Christmas in New York! I highly recommend the honey roasted fig appetizer and the pan seared scallop entree.More infoTavern on the GreenPrice: Expensive• American• Midtown West•4.7
