Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Lincoln Square

I rarely review restaurants but I must share this experience which I have never had in York City—the best! I’d made a lunch with my daughter and granddaughter before seeing thenNutcracker. On the way to the restaurant, my daughter had an accident—she bumped into a pillar at the Times Square station and broke off her 2 front teeth. Naturally, we were all upset. As soon as we arrived at the Smith, the entire staff was amazing. They seated us immediately inside, brought my daughter an ice pack and Advil, and were so comforting. Special kudos to Justin, our server , who even researched an emergency dentist. He brought us dessert and said that entire meal was on the house! As a native New Yorker, I was so surprised and touched to the bottom of my heart. Kindness still exists in this crazy world and in New York City which can get such a bad rap. The food was great. The Smith is now our go to restaurant in Lincoln Square. Thank you so much to everyone at the Smith!

Our waitress did a great job. Food was good. Value was above average. We had the last seating for lunch. They needed to turn over the restaurant for dinner. They never rushed us and were very accomodating.

The restaurant is welcoming, the food is well prepared and the ambience is airy and spacious.

Food was very good simple basic menu . Service was good . Atmosphere very festive for holidays . Enjoyed our dinner

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carmine's on 44th with a large party, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish! The hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the attentive service continued throughout the evening. I spoke with the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. I highly recommend Carmine's on 44th for its fantastic food and outstanding service!
