Best Casual Restaurants in Morningside-Lenox Park

Celebrated my son-law's 50th birthday. Four of us enjoyed two bottles of Cohors French red wine to start the night of right. They serve great bread with proscuito. The thinly cut meat was devine and the girls loved the bread. We shared two appetizers, the steak tartar and the oysters rockefeller. Both were great but I enjoyed the tartar better. Dinner was the chicken, the sole, filet and NY strip. With the steak we had the potatoes with cheese and the mushrooms. My wife said the chicken was the best she ever had. All the main courses were great but the mushrooms with the steaks really make the experience fabulous. We finished the birthday meal with Baked Alaska, as most at the table had never tried this unique experience, and three capacinos. We look forward to our next Michelin experience. One word, it is not cheap but you definitely get an exception dining experience for the money.

Great dining experience. Out celebrating our son’s new job. While waiting for our table, the manager on duty offered those guests waiting to be seated a complimentary glass of champagne. Great gesture! Then we had the pleasure of being seated in best section. Our server, Noah, was the epitome of an attentive server. He was on point with everything. Whatever request we had, he made it happen. Being a drink snob, when my cocktail arrived in a basic tumble glass instead of the martini glass it should have come in, I immediately looked at Noah and asked, “no pretty glass for me”? He understood my wants. He said give me a few minutes and I’ll take care of that for, and that he did. Bravo Noah!👏🏽 His pleasant demeanor and attentiveness were greatly appreciated. When my daughter stated she didn’t like her dish as expected, Noah was more than willing to accommodate her request for something different. Both him and the manager on duty that night, (1/4/25) made for an enjoyable dining experience for the entire family. We’ll be back!!

India, our server, was exceptional. Anyone who brought us food or a drink was friendly and if we asked a question or placed an additional order they were more too happy to assist. The food was wonderful. Everything we ate was exceptional. The restaurant is pretty. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6:45 with few tables occupied. But by the time we left at 8:30 it was full.

We saw Saint + Council and considered trying it for our date night. We were extremely please with the food, prices were reasonable for a date night location, and the service was great. Only downfall was a table by us was EXTREMELY loud, but that’s isn’t the restaurants fault.
