Restaurants near 96th Street Ind Eighth Avenue Line

Food was definitely the best yet. Celebration Dinner for our 17 year old. Ordered all her favorites and enjoyed a delicious meal with friends and family!!!

The restaurant’s interior is stunning, but for larger groups, you may be seated in an outdoor area. While the outdoor space is decent, it doesn’t quite match the ambiance of the inside. It is equipped with space heaters, but it was still a bit chilly during our visit. We requested to be moved indoors, and the staff was very accommodating, relocating us inside as space allowed. This, of course, depends on availability, and we were fortunate that there was room for our group of eight. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special by providing a birthday card for my niece and presenting her cake with a candle. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant 100%!

Incredible service, massive and delicious portions & delightful ambience. The restaurant was bustling but it felt as if you you stepped back in time with the playlist and menu offerings. Absolutely recommend for anyone traveling with family or friends!

We always enjoy a meal at Dagon. The food is very good, though a bit pricey. The breads are terrific! We decided to share several starters rather than get an entree - we really like the leek mushroom soup and potato tart specials, as well as the dumplings and the cigar.

WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.
