Best Live Music Restaurants in Midtown East

Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

Phenomenal experience. The staff was so courteous and attentive, and were very kind in managing our requests. The ambiance was superb of course, the historical Plaza Hotel speaks for itself. The tea was delicious and the menu was filled with interesting and delicatessen items (food you won't likely find in other places). We were also pleasantly full despite the seemingly small samplers. Definitely a special experience. Also the decor for the holiday season is beautiful in an elegant want. Highly recommend seeing it for yourself.

Lovely atmosphere for a good Turkish breakfast. When I suddenly had a coughing fit (due to a cold), the waiter came and brought me a pot of hot water, some slices of lemon and a bit of honey. How wonderful and soothing. Totally worked. It was such a lovely gesture. Thank you!!

I was at the restaurant in a group of eight, and we had the best time and service. we ordered a mix of appetizers and a main meal, and I must say that every single person loved every single dish. what a way to start a New York City wedding weekend. Thank you and we will be back.

Once again, our day trip to NYC was fabulous. Started with lunch Chez Josephine. What a gem! Friendly service by a young gentleman who clearly loves what he does. Two of us had the skirt steak, one had the sole. Delicious!!! And the wait staff warmly accommodated our need to be at the theater for a 2pm show. The potato soup was silky smooth and so flavorful. My steak was cooked perfectly— rare! Pommes frites were crispy and just enough salt. Dessert was the raspberry mango comfit on a coconut cookie. This place is a true gem. While there are so many choices for lunch, we keep coming back to Chez Josephine. Beautiful atmosphere and excellent dining experience.
