Restaurants near 116th Street Lexington Avenue Line

I recently dined at La Grande Boucherie where I had the steak frites, and it was a standout experience. The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Paired with a delicious béarnaise sauce, the dish was simple yet satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Overall, a solid choice for anyone craving a classic, well-executed meal.

2nd time to Red Rooster for the weekend brunch. Food is so good, we bought his cookbook after first visit. Well trained wait staff, great easy going yet professional vibe.

Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

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!

Food is good but music is too high. I couldn’t hear myself talk. But my overall experience was good.
