Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Hillcrest

Every year its always the best dinner! I bring my staff for our after Christmas Christmas celebration for the past 30 years and we are never disappointed. This year we added a new dish their special ....it was chicken on top of spinach with peppers and cheese and roasted potato in a piccata sauce, simply delicious!!! And of course we saw " our Ralph" for many years we enjoy his smile and his welcoming deameanor, Ralph is one of a kind!!! ❤️

LOVE Bondst. My favorite Japanese resto in NYC 25 years and counting. And I love how they take care of their regulars. Best order... Yuzu Martini, crab salad, tuna crispy rice, spicy crispy shrimp, chicken katsu bao, miso sea bass skewers, and chocolate lava cake.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival at a comfortable low table with a view of Lincoln Center right across the street. Service was attentive and cocktail orders arrived quickly. All 4 in the party said the cocktails were well made to asked for specifications, such as 'slightly dirty Hendrick's Martini.' Oysters Rockefeller were truly excellent and other snacks were good. Background music and noise level were moderate. Prices are $21 for standard cocktails with $3 extra for requested brands such as Ketel One. This is a good place to meet for cocktails and snacks before a performance.

Excellent food, great service. Convenient location.

We came into the city for Happy Hour and to preview a room for an upcoming event. We sat in the glass covered rooftop, which was sunny and airy although biting cold outside. The heaters in the room and fur covered seats gave a cozy feel to the room. Our server Edwar was excellent and attentive. The drinks from the Bar were some of the best I've had. (chocolate martini and the blueberry mojito). We ordered the lil brg and truffle fries, wagyu meatballs, and the short rib quesadilla, all delicious. The piped in music was a little loud for me, after a drink it did not seem to bother me. We enjoyed our to go deserts (cheesecake and the applepie) when we got home, excellent. Closest parking was on Jane street, and was expensive Friday prior to 4pm. Meter parking is available after 4 on the weekdays and weekend, may be more reasonable. Thank you!!!!!
