Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Upper West Side

We loved Monterey! It’s a lovely restaurant conveniently located near lots of Midtown attractions. The food and beverage presentations were impressive. We had the prime rib special and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. For dessert, the Bananas Foster was prepared table side. The presentation and taste were amazing. We can’t wait to return.

Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!

So great. Relaxing, inviting and delicious. The host was so very pleasant and the server equally so. Porterhouse for 2….met the chef and DBs famous sauces. Couldn’t ask for more….

The food was amazing, the workers were amazing and attentive and (MATTHEW) who severed us on the 25th Dec. for our Christmas dinner was amazing. Very informative and patient with us. A ball of energy. We will definitely be returning.

My Christmas Eve experience at Lincoln Ristorante, located on Lincoln Center Plaza, was exceptional. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows provide a breathtaking view of the Met Opera House. The open kitchen, under the guidance of Executive Chef Artem Orlovskyy, showcases a seasoned team expertly preparing dishes. General Manager Barbara and Assistant Manager Octavio lead an experienced team, including my waiter Saul, with whom I enjoyed reminiscing about our shared experiences. The festive ambiance on Christmas Eve was further enhanced by the warm hospitality of the team. My meal began with gnocchi and prosciutto, followed by halibut accompanied by scallops, mussels, and shrimp, along with table sides of mushrooms, garlic, and cauliflower gratin. Desserts were served family-style, featuring an assortment of cookies and mini chantilly cakes with delectable fruit fillings. Most guests were locals celebrating the holiday, and I appreciated the opportunity to converse with fellow diners.
