- EeileenNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI’m so happy we were able to make a reservation online! We Got our table right on time. Our server took care of us brilliantly! Shout out to Patty P, our server. She was lovely! She did a great job with explaining the menu and the specials, making suggestions for wine. And just overall entertaining. She did a fabulous job of getting us everything we asked for.More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
- JJasonvipLas Vegas •39 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat experience had the calamari, escargot, halibut, mussels and miso cod. All cooked perfectly. Only complaints were that it was very loud, so dark I could barely read the menu and cod could have used more miso. Would definitely return !More infoBrasserie Cognac Midtown EastPrice: Moderate• French• Midtown East•4.5
- EEricvipNew York City •715 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur group enjoyed a wonderful dining experience in one of New York's legendary steakhouses. Everything was prepared and timed perfectly throughout the evening and it was a pleasure to host our night out at this historic location. The service was top notch and the hand-crafted cocktails during the meal were delicious, cold and exceptional. A+ overall for our night out beginning with the Caesar salad, and spot on prepared bone in ribeye, Cajun and NY strip with amazing classic sides of onion rings, whipped potatoes and creamed spinach!! Two thumbs up and what every NY steakhouse should aspire to.More infoSmith & Wollensky - New YorkPrice: Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.6

The service was very polite, kind and professional; specially from Rafael and Andres. Only noticeable mistake (if we have to find one, ha!) is that the Exit sign at the entrance is a bit loose and looks not horizontalMore infoFasanoPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Midtown East•4.8
