Best Restaurants for Birthdays in MiMo / Upper East Side

The ambiance was phenomenal, definitely a perfect setting for date night. The service was outstanding, all of our needs were met before we could even ask which I enjoyed. The food selection leaned more so to sea food options and wasn’t exactly seasoned to my liking. But overall it was a great experience!

Amazing! Our waiter Andrew was awesome! The food was delicious! Lobster for 2 was succulent and flaming literally! Filet was cooked perfectly to my liking medium well and juicy. The Make me blush cocktail made me blush for sure, taste and smelled wonderful. Celebrated my birthday and would come back again - desert with a sparkle candle, edible pearls and a happy birthday edible chocolate. Need I say more. Be ready for a dent in your wallet but so worth it!

We decided to have Valentine’s Day dinner here and it was the best decision ever. The service was amazing. The drinks left me absolutely speechless. I had 3 drinks and would’ve had more because they were absolutely delicious, but I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself 😂. The food was 100/10 and me and my partner couldn’t stop talking about it all night. Overall we spent around 400$ but we did order a lot of food. 3 appetizers, 2 sides, 1 entree, dessert and 3 cocktails.

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

Lovely outside seating...like being in Tuscany! Food was very, very, very good. We will be going back.
