Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 59th Street – Columbus Circle Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The dining experience was exceptional, with delicious food, upscale atmosphere, and friendly service were excellent. Reservations usually filled up weeks in advance. We got lucky when one spot opened up. Each course was made meticulously and the cocktail was excellent. The experience is worth the price, making it perfect for special occasions.

This was a twenty year dream come true for me. I’ve been following per se since they opened in 2004 and finally made the visit on 3/3. We had the shorter tasting in the salon and honestly, so glad we did that and not the main dining room. The room was luxuriously comfortable. It felt elevated without being too pretentious. The service was warm, friendly, and professional. The food was excellent in presentation and preparation. We left feeling full and happy. They were even kind enough to let me keep a copy of the menus as a keepsake. I hope to return in the future. Truly memorable experience.

The oysters and pearls is an incredible dish, so was the scallop, but the meat dish, the lamb, was just awful, the meat and fat kind of combined into a pate like thing that had a real rubbery thing going. The big problem with the tasting menu is while it gives choices the choices frequently involved enormous additional supplements ($140 for black truffles on the pasta?) so you were kind of stuck. The desserts were excellent. The bread was very disappointing. That being said the atmosphere was wonderful (the renovations have brought a huge improvement), and the service was perfect. Check the menu carefully though before you go.

Just gratuitously good. Service was so warm and friendly and intuitive while being whip-sharp precise. The food was a fantastic blend of creative and traditional while being absolutely delicious all the way through. Reasonable portions, a glorious course structure, and frankly with the gratuity included and no supplements an altogether fair price for a 5+-star experience.

The food and environment is pretty good, you can see the Central Park view from the window, but the service doesn’t feel like a 3 star place🙃. They forgot to ask us if we would like wine paring and just started sending food to the table. We had to ask them for the pairing after our first dish was almost done. The waiter took away our drinks before we finish them. And one the final wine list menu they gave us, they got the wine name wrong. I was not sure if that tip was included, and asked the waiter about the additional tip on the check, and the answer was really confusing. I ended up giving extra 20% tip and learned that it’s not necessary.

I had Christmas dinner here, and it was a wonderful experience! Friendly service, delicious food, classy and upscale environment. I especially love their pastas! Both pastas we ordered were very good. Also, the duck dish was amazing, it was perfectly cooked. Love love love! The desserts were a bit too sweet for my preference but they were still good with coffee. I will definitely come back next time.

The food and service here are amazing. I had the lobster burrata, fusilli octopus, and grilled sirloin, and the tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend all off the above. The portions were surprisingly large so don't worry that you'll be leaving hungry. 😋

Good not great. Not what it used to be. Food didn’t seem to have the same presentation and flavor as it used to be during the peak 10+ years ago. Service was good and attentive but pasta took very long to come out. Place is nice looking but I miss it being a stuffier crowd.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a VERY long time. Every dish was a 10. Exciting, innovative, yet still approachable and incredibly delicious. Still thinking about the seabass tartare and the mafaldine with king crab mmmmm. The team there is TOPS. They execute flawless fine dining service in a way that feels genuine, cool, calm and collected. Many many thanks to Whitney, Darnelle, Naomi and Josh. Already looking forward to my next visit.
Matt Petromilli - 3 weeks ago

Interesting innovative appetizers (scampi on scampi with crispy rice, fluke crudo). Langosta tartare was not as flavorful. Swordfish and duck risotto were excellent. Kids spaghetti with olive oil was really good but not worth $43, same price as their other pasta dishes that have protein . Great extensive wine list. Service started strong but became mediocre as meal progressed.

Can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. They made our anniversary so special and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with gluten free options and substitutions which made me feel looked after. The wagyu was one of the best I've ever had, and that's saying something.
Lindsay Milligan - 4 months ago

We visited numerous Michelin star restaurants in our New York City visit and all were great but Jean-Georges blew them all out of the water the food was spectacular service was personal and exceptional the sommelier was personable and accommodating the atmosphere was just beautiful the table lighting was beautiful and unique. My wife and I both agree on our last trip Jean-Georges was our favorite and exceeded all our exceptions. I would highly recommend and I want to thank the team for providing us a lasting memory and even allowing us a picture at the pass exceptional!!!

One of the better Michelin Stared restaurants in Manhattan. Unfortunately, they do not do wine pairings anymore, but they do have a very good wine list.

What a delightful experience. From the ambience and service to the food, everything was on point. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and we felt this was a very special experience. We chose the 10-course omnivore tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The only dish we didn't particularly enjoy was the squab. It was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were very interesting, but it felt too heavy as the ninth course and the flavor of the meat had a strong aftertaste. This, I'm sure is a matter of personal taste. I would have personally preferred the wagyu beef from the 6-course menu. The other nine courses, the amuse bouche, the special anniversary mousse dessert and the mignardises were all fabulous! The French and SE Asian flavors were delicate and complex at the same time, combining textures, temperatures and all four flavors plus umami. Just exquisite. Thank you for making our day so special. Shout out to our friendly server from Georgia.

This place is a hidden gem inside a hotel, but don't let that fool you. The vibe inside is cozy and elegant, and the sushi is out of this world. You can tell they use only the freshest and highest quality fish, as each bite melts in your mouth and bursts with flavor. The presentation is also stunning, with colorful and creative dishes that make you want to take a picture before you dig in. The menu is not your typical sushi place, as they offer some other cooked options that are equally delicious. I loved the crispy rice with ahi tuna, the popcorn shrimp, and the cauliflower tempura. If you want to splurge, the Blue Ribbon Roll with lobster and the spicy crab roll are phenomenal options. They are pricey, but worth every penny. The service is very fast and efficient, even when the place gets busy. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make sure you have a great experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as this place is very popular and can get crowded. This is one of my favorite sushi places in NYC, and I can't wait to go back. If you are looking for a place to treat yourself or impress someone, this is it. You won't regret it.

I have been coming here with my boyfriend for years! It is our go-to spot for high quality sushi! We also always order the miso lobster, it is always fresh and the butter sauce accompanied with it is a taste of heaven! The king salmon is my personal favorite. The service is great, atmosphere is cozy and perfect for date night! I also recommend making a reservation on the weekends.
Jade Rodriguez - 5 months ago

My mind is blown! We have loved the Bromberg Brothers Blue Ribbon for 15 years. And our meal tonight at their Sushi Bar and Grill was spectacular. They have figured it all out! The Dragon roll, Miso Cod, Grilled Avocado and to finish the Red Snapper with yuzu butter sauce .... wow zowie! The signage is not good so enter the Columbus Circle Hotel next to the bagel joint and door is on right. But great Japanese restaurant!
Rick Goulburn - 2 months ago

Blue Ribbon is located inside a hotel through an almost secret door. Warm wood interior throughout. Stand out dishes include Cauliflower popcorn, Wagyu Gyoza, Crispy Rice Tuna, Oxtail Fried Rice. The place is total slammed even on a mundane Thursday night.

I ordered the Ravioli trio (but replaced the mushroom one, with cheese ravioli) They were all delicious, but the menu says that each one comes with a distinctive sauce, and if they were different, I couldn't tell. It had a nice atmosphere though. A very cozy, family owned business that's been around forever, and has TONS of history and photos to prove it. Dessert is an absolute must! My son went crazy over their chocolate mousse cake, and I ate my cannoli cake so fast I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture. It was AWESOME! I will warn you though- the soda glasses are the tiniest you've ever seen, and at $4.50 a pop they do not provide free refills. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. There is also an upstairs, but we didn't go up there so I can't say what's up there. Overall, a great place for a good Italian dinner! 👍 👍
Tara Geary - a week ago

Classic NYC Italian restaurant with okay food. The dishes were not anything special and it is easy to find better variants at cheaper prices. The service was friendly and was not rushed. They do offer a Pre-Theatre Price-Fix menu. Restaurant definitely was a bit dated and could use a spiffy up.

Oh my goodness! I was here with my best friend. The food is exceptional. The staff is top notch. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The best part was meeting the head chef, Sal. What am amazingly humble, kind, sweet & talented man! Patsy's is a MUST GO place in NYC!!
Dawn Hughes - a month ago

Overall, our experience at Patsy's for lunch was delightful. We were extremely satisfied with our choice of restaurant. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous, ensuring that we left feeling satisfied. We were particularly impressed by the personal touch from Chef Sal, who took the time to visit our table and ensure that everything was to our liking. This level of attentiveness added to our overall enjoyment of the dining experience. We would definitely recommend Patsy's to others and look forward to returning in the future.

This restaurant is famous among celebrities. I found a lot of celebrity pictures hanging on the wall. The staff was great and very fast lunch service. Bread olive oil and butter were served first. I ordered soup of the day and linguine Pesto. Both tasted good. My wife makes a similar pesto sauce. I like extra pesto sauce, and that's what I got as well. Over all good experience, and i plan to revisit when i am back in town.

every time I come here, I really enjoy the experience and the food is always cooked perfectly and delicious. I do feel like it is overpriced for what it is, but it is a fancy place I have had the cowboy rib steak twice and it was superb both times. my friend had the Bino. It was great, and their wine was excellent. If you are lucky you can get a seat by the window but I like that it's not one of those restaurants that feels crazy crowded. And at the bar area is separate so it doesn't make the place too noisy. Would recommend if you have money to spend.

1- Food. 5/5. Everything we ordered was absolutely Delicious. 2- Service. 3/5. Waiter we had kinda seemed like he had an attitude or something and that was before I told him I’m not ordering everything all at once. Maybe it’s my straight USA man persona or something 🤷🏻. I like to dictate the pace of my meal only because in the past the order and pace of the dishes usually gets screwed up. We look for warm and engaging service but experienced Nada. Our drinks were delivered quickly and promptly. Food was served hot and fresh. 3- Ambiance 5/5. Absolutely Beautiful restaurant that gives certain tables a view of Central Park. Clean dining area and bathrooms. 4- reservations 5/5. Fairly easy to get. 5- Value 3/5. Food and restaurant is top notch, a little overpriced for steakhouse in Manhatten but I have zero problem paying up for a GREAT experience. The one waiter/ server not sure how to classify man I guess needs some formal training though. I’d probably return, we have been here 4 times already. Recommending is on hold for now.

An amazingly well done up place with the right mix of good food, music and service..and yes the ambience too. The place is a must to go for its food. The wide variety is amazing. Their win list a comprehensive one. The place is spacious and yet crowded on a weekday as much as a weekend.

First, this is a must stop for a phenomenal steak, in a wonderful atmosphere, with great service, and wonderful memories. I took my parents to NYC this past week. I had taken my mom before, but not my dad. So, we did NYC big. We hit some great foods spots, Porter House was one of those. Our meal was a little over $500 for 3. Now, that is a bit pricey, but not out of reach for those touring NYC. It was certainly worth it. My mom and dad at the Porter House, on the bone, for two. They had it prepared medium rare. I tasted both the filet and strip pieces of it. It was succulent. It had a wonderful and vibrant flavor. I had the Chili Rubbed Ribeye, rare. I have to say, this one stole the show for me. It was so tender and tasty. It melted in my mouth. I love a good ribeye because you can get some good marbling. It was one of the better steaks I've eaten in my life and travels. The three of us shared onion rings and truffle mashed potatoes. My mom had the caesar salad. My dad had the field greens salad. And, I had the beet salad. The beet was my favorite. It had frisee on it as well. The beets were full of flavor. The caesar had a wonderful dressing. We had some sourdough bread as a prep. My dad had a beer, my mom a cocktail. I had the 2019 Margaux Bordeaux. It was fabulous. If you are looking for a delicious steak and a beautiful setting, this is the place. There isn't a bad seat in the house. But, we had a great one by the window looking out over Columbus Circle.

The steak here is top notch. I shared the porterhouse for 2, the creamed spinach and truffle mashed potatoes for sides, and the bone marrow for an appetizer. All were incredible. I had a couple of the King’s Old Fashioned’s which is their signature cocktail and it did not disappoint. There are two private rooms in the back - we used one - which are great for events, corporate dinners, etc.

4.5 / 5.0 - My friends and I came here for brunch on Easter Sunday and were in for a fun surprise. Robert is on top of the Museum of Arts and Design, with impressive views of Columbus Circle and Central Park. We’d made reservations in advance but unfortunately were unable to sit by the windows with views. We still had a very enjoyable meal in this spacious and stylish restaurant. We ordered the Rigatoni ($25+), Lobster Roll ($21+) and Scrambled Eggs & Caviar ($28+). The complimentary basket of bread and muffins was a nice addition. The food was good, but the highlight for me was the festive atmosphere and Easter treats. They had a cotton candy stand, where they offered free cotton candy. And during our meal, an Easter bunny came around, waving and posing for photos. I’m not sure how they celebrate other holidays, but I would love to be back again for more unique experiences as well as the views.

Excellent food and service. Definitely will be back. Great atmosphere with sprawling views of Central Park accompanied by live piano. The dishes were creative and well portioned. Service was top-notch, and I found myself wanting for nothing. What an amazing place.
Jonathan Austin - 3 weeks ago

We had a phenomenal lunch at Robert! The ambience, the views, the service, and the food were a fantastic experience. We greatly enjoyed the Rigatoni (flavorful and balanced taste, great presented), the Amish Chicken (juicy and tasty!), Shishito Peppers, and Jasmine Tea. Last but not least, the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee was novel but oh so delicious, and the complimentary Macaroons were a lovely way to cap off an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend!

The live Cuban trio was fun, if loud. The black beans met all expectations, the skirt steak was tender and lovely, the salmon was fine--the peppers and onions surrounding the salmon were great. The whiskey sours were on point and very good. Great little spot north of the theater district. Definitely recommended.
Adam Ford - a week ago

Fun, lively spot with a live band. Somehow got a table on Friday night. Sea bass, chicken, yuca fries, papas rellenas, and beans were great. Tres leches was awesome. Was limited for vegetarians, but we expected it. The veggie paella was full of veggies which my husband liked but wasn’t as rich as the other foods. Super awesome staff!
Preethi Raju - 2 weeks ago

The food is always good!!!! I gave service a 3 because my guest felt rushed by the wait staff to finish and leave. Three different wait persons came to remove his plate, but he wasn't done eating. I gave the atmosphere a 3 because as I was dining, two children began yelling out (enough to be disruptive), but their parent thought it was cute as opposed to what it really was, disruptive. I've been here several times, and this is the first time any of this has happened.
Celeste Cartagena - a week ago

Came upon this place on a google search, for a very late dinner. Post a show at about 1115pm, we went to have some Cuban food. The atmosphere was great, great salsa music and then live salsa music! Which was great even though it was near closing time. The decor was still Christmas which was super cute. I had the Cuban sandwich which was good! And my hubby had the vaca frita. The beans definitely needed some seasoning and salt, overall He liked his dish. We also ordered tostones rellenos with shrimp, I can’t say it was my favorite. The staff were super friendly and the food came out super fast! They didn’t rush us which was comforting to eat and not feel rushed. I ordered a traditional mojito and was not happy with it at all. Unfortunately it was just not tasty, no flavor, it looked pretty but tasted just like alcohol. The food portions were just right, not too big not too small. Maybe next time we will come earlier and try during the day.
Ana Llapa - 3 months ago

The size of the dishes are not great for the price, they have reduced the size over the years. The service was pretty good. Reservations are recommended at night when they have live music but not mandatory. Cuban music is amazing, and you can even dance there after dinner (make sure you don't drink too much). Mojitos and all other cocktails are so tasty and delicious.

Me & my husband love Rosa Mexicano! Our favorite location is the one at Lincoln center, the service, food & atmosphere is so much better. The food is phenomenal, this is our favorite Mexican restaurant. They make the guacamole in front of you, so it tastes very fresh & delicious. The margaritas are the best I ever had. The duck tacos are so delicious & moist. Everything I had here was good. I came here a few times already & I will be definitely going back. This is one of our go to restaurants. I posted pics at both locations which is here at Lincoln & in the downtown location. But my review is solely for the Lincoln center location.

Great interior, nice tables and silverware. We were seated without prior reservation on Thursday, which was great. The only thing we could not get coffee there to enjoy our dessert with. That’s why ordering desserts was a bit pointless. Overall it’s a great experience.
Mieriem Abdullaieva - 3 months ago

It was a lovely experience. They gave us a table right away, the waiter was kind and they were super fast with our order. We had their signature frozen margaritas and they were amazing. The nachos were delicious and the churros were the best that we've ever had (the portion was ideal for two people). Only thing that we didn't like that much was that the tables were too close together on the first floor (but we didn't have a reservation) and it was a bit noisy, but overall great experience, will be back!

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant yesterday during the bottomless brunch time, started off with a table side Guacamole and this is where I thought it would be disastrous because to be honest it was not what I was expecting bland and not Spicy at all, whatever I was going to let it slide but my friend wasn’t happy. Moments later the manager Andres came to all the tables including ours asking if everything was ok. We decided to let him know how unhappy with the Guac we were and he said he you’ll get us a new one right away !!!! Andres brought the guac cart over and started making it himself !!! At the end we established that for us personally was the recipe that they use that didn’t apease us so we just ask for like juice and salt and that did the trick. Andres went an above and beyond to make sure we left happy !!! Later another manager came around asking the same if everything was ok and it was went on to recommend their delicious pomegranate margarita, which was amazing !!! Bottom line this place goes above and beyond and to make you happy !!! Will definitely be back !!!

I’d give 1 star to my last visit, but I’m giving it 3 stars because I’ve been here other times and it’s usually good. But I was very disappointed with thanksgiving dinner. The service was good as always, but the food was not good, I couldn’t keep eating some of mine. The dessert was excellent though.

Stopped by Nougatine for a quick drink today, and the setting was just as pleasant as it always is. We have dined here more than a dozen times over the years both in the bar room area and on the outdoor terrace, which is a really nice experience as well if the weather is good. The main dining room is the full Jean Georges experience, which is the pre-fix fancier menu. Nougatine is in the bar area and a little more laid back but still outstanding in its own right. Unfortunately, the main dining room is only open for dinner now. I used to go there quite a bit for lunch, so that is kind of a bummer. With that being said, both restaurants are fantastic. The main dining room experience (Jean Georges) is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the country.

Came here for 2023 summer restaurant week, and sat at the bar. I like the location, decorations, ambiance and moderate noise level. I ordered watermelon with goat cheese, crusted salmon and chocolate cake with caramel ice cream. The watermelon is good for the summer menu, and the ice cream flavor was for the restaurant week. The crusted salmon was the most crusted I had for a long time.

This is a one of a kind, master class restaurant. The appetizers were unique and very creative, the main courses were top notch, but the desert was absolutely fabulous. I will go even further to say that the sour cherry pie is probably one of the best deserts in NYC. Love this place!
Alisa - 10 months ago

Excellent service even all the reviews were discouraging this place because of the service. The 38$ menu was delicious with very good sauces for all plates. This places gladly surprised me because there wasn't anything delicious. You can feel that the kitchen is almost shared with the two Michelin star as the plates were served with great descriptions and raw good ingredients. They are very kind to change anything on the menu if you don't like. They prepared a fruit salad that was excellent. Also they were very fast for the food for kids.
