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

My husband and I were in NY celebrating our honeymoon. The staff at Per Se made our night very special. They were lovely, attentive and chatted a lot with my husband. Our main waiter was particularly great. The food was faultless. My husband has been wanting to come here for years and the dishes lived up to expectations. The dining room and views are special. We would recommend this restaurant.

Having only been to a 1 star Michelin restaurant before that offered a beyond amazing experience, I had high hopes for getting a reservation at this 3 star Michelin restaurant. While nothing was bad about our experience, there was nothing that made it feel exceptionally worth the cost. The dishes were good but a few didn’t have any distinct flavor that made you go wow this is incredible. The service was nice but since my husband and I don’t drink or didn’t upgrade to any supplements (add ons) we maybe weren’t as important? I could hear/see some vibrant interactions from some of the other tables that made me think/feel this. The oysters and pearls dish was by far the best dish of the night and the pistachio dessert was both of our favorite! It was a nice experience but I don’t think the value was there for the cost unfortunately. We dined at a 1 star Michelin restaurant in Toronto for half the cost and it was truly a more impressive experience.

My girlfriend and I were lucky to have dinner here to celebrate her 30th birthday. From the moment we approached the front door the staff were thoughtful and attentive. They even knew who we were before we could speak, the anticipation of our arrival, plus mentioning they had received my bottle of wine I had sent over prior to our dinner was exemplary. Food was superb and delivered at the highest level. The best part of dinner service is the dessert course by far! But that’s just me

From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted with warmth and sophistication. The service is impeccable, with every need anticipated and attended to with grace. Each dish is a work of art, meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavor. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Service was excellent. The popcorn ice cream was unique and my favorite. I asked if we could see the kitchen, and we were able to go and take photos. In the meantime, our bags and jackets were moved and waiting for us at the end of the tour, which was much appreciated.

I have the warmest memories of this restaurant! A few years ago, I celebrated my graduation here and had just adopted a puppy. With no one to leave the little guy with, I had to bring him along. Normally, I'm not a fan of taking dogs to fancy places, but leaving my scared puppy at the hotel just didn't feel right. The staff were incredibly kind and understanding, making us feel welcome right away. The food and service were outstanding—far beyond just nice. It's such a shame that this restaurant lost its Michelin star. I really hope they get their two stars back because they truly deserve it.

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.

Marea is known for their house made pasta. Their pastas are delicious! I always get their Octopus Fusilli and Grilled Octopus for appetizer. Service was great. However, spacing between tables is quite tight, so felt crowded and loud on weekend.

Stop everything. If you're coming to upper east do whatever you have to and get a reservation. This is the reason NYC stands out as an Epicurus's center! Exquisite care taken to every flavor and detail to balance the plate. Amazing wine list. Causal and friendly. Pastry chef is imaginative and makes dessert so worth it. Just do it! Do not delay. This is why we dine out! Order octopus. Gnocchi. Sea bass over risotto, and scallops that taste like the sea kissed you on the lips! leave room for spice cake and cheese tray with honey and raspberry olive oil preserves. The sorbet is exquisite ! Great for date night or business dinner. Small bar. Neighborhood vibe despite upscale prices. I ❤️ New York for restaurants just like this one!

I mean, would you expect less than 5 stars for a 2-Michelin Star restaurant? The food was delicious, but beyond that, creative and thoughtful. I picked Jean-Georges for my Michelin Star dining experience because the menu sounded stellar. Too many restaurants either over-simplify or over-complicate food. Jean-Georges walks the line of creativity and sophistication without crossing over into absurdity. I will definitely be back once my budget recovers!
Abigail Hay - a month ago

The full experience was great. 6 courses is a lot of food, but 10 is not impossible to accomplish. 1. Let the sommelier do her job. (We went May 4th) She is incredible. Her wine choices for us was absolutely perfect. The best sommelier I met. As a reference, I eat in great restaurants from Hawaii to Tokyo. 2. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Perfect service. Perfect food. Great place.

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 - 6 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!!!

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.

Excellent sushi. The best I’ve had so far in NYC. The chefs prepare the food in front of customers in the dining area at the rear of the restaurant. The platters are consistently good. And there is a fabulous selection of Saké. Very friendly and helpful staff. We went for my daughter’s graduation celebration. They very kindly offered us a delicious desert. The server, named Air, was charming and welcoming.

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.

Came for lunch today and was very impressed. Being from England, we aren't used to service this attentive. Best sushi we have had outside of Japan, and the chicken wings were glorious. Thank you 👍
Gentleman Dan Gaming Man - a month 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!

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! 👍 👍

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Excellent service! The night is perfect, the food is very delicious and above all they offered us a dessert due to the occasion. The atmosphere is very calm and above all it is very discreet! It is the perfect place to have a romantic date or a business dinner You can meet some famous people always come to this place but I recommend not to bother anyone because we all want our moment of privacy

Managed to get a last minute reservation for dinner. Food was fantastic. The chilli rub boneless ribeye was excellent - the rub was very flavourful, the char was on point and our medium rare order was done perfectly. The wedge salad was good as well, as were the truffle mash potatoes, broccoli and risotto. Overall a very good meal with excellent service.

Outstanding on all counts. Our server's knowledge of the menu was helpful more than once and we loved everything we ordered. Atmosphere is lovely, active but fairly quiet.

It’s been 10 years since I’ve been to NYC and was super excited to return and feast on the food scene. Porter House Bar and Grill exceeded my expectations! The ambience set the scene to a great dinner with dimly lit lights, beautiful decor and a table with a beautiful view overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. Great date spot! As for the meal, we started off with 3 amazing appetizers. The roasted bone marrow is an absolute must! My wife and I agreed that it was the single best bite we had throughout the night. The flavors were so silky and delicate. And it was plated with a side salad that was bright and herby to balance things out. The jumbo lump crab cake was super flavorful with a very good texture, also served with a small, bright leafy salad and a delicious horseradish mustard sauce. Finally we had the Hamachi Crudo, light and bursting with flavor. For the main entree we had the New York Strip, charred. (Make sure to order this steak medium-rare) frites, sautéed field mushrooms and the garganelli bolognese. Every bite I kept saying, this place doesn’t miss! Everything was super flavorful, great textures, balanced and seasoned to perfection. Lastly for dessert we had the coconut cake that came with a coconut sorbet, and a brownie sundae with a whipped mousse, chocolate ice cream and cherry topping. Paired the dessert with the best coffee we’ve had on our trip and this meal was a winner. The service was top notch. Our server, Sam was very friendly and offered great advice for navigating the menu. The rest of the service team were great as well. Just the right mix of friendly conversation, yet knowing when to step away to let us enjoy our meal. Executive Chef Sean Thompson is ELITE! Please, if you’re on the fence between this restaurant and another, as options are plentiful in NY…choose here! You won’t regret it. I’m the type of person who thoroughly researches every place that I eat and rarely ever leave reviews. But my experience at Porter House Bar and Grill inclined me to leave one so that others could share the same experience that my family and I did!

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.

I recently visited Robert Restaurant located in an art museum close to Central Park during my 2-day trip to NY with guests. The ambience was fantastic and the service was top-notch. Our server was very informative and helpful, especially with guiding my vegan wife through the menu. We all had a great time and I would definitely recommend this place to others. It's a perfect spot for dates and business dinners. Overall, a wonderful dining experience at Robert Restaurant!
Shree Yerramsetti - a week ago

Such a great spot for brunch and gatherings with the view of Central Park. Took family from out of town here and they loved the experience. We were able to grab a table by the window around lunch time on a weekday - I think those tables are first come first serve. We got the prix fixe lunch menu plus two sides (shishito peppers and lettuce wraps). I really liked the chicken - it was done so well, juicy and well seasoned, the salad was also great. Wasn’t too impressed with the lettuce wraps. But I would definitely come back again - they even brought out a cute dessert to welcome my family to NYC!

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 months ago

This has become my favorite place to eat with a view. The food was great, prepared and presented perfectly. The service was super friendly and attentive. But you go here for the view, so get a window side table enjoy the view while you dine on some great food and desert. I had the homemade blueberry ice cream, which was freaking delicious. Bummed I didn’t take pictures of the beautifully presented food.

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.

This place was great!! There were four of us: shared two small appetizers, each person a main dish, shared two small desserts, each person had two adult beverages..... total for each after tip: $100. We were looking for a place to go after the taping of the Colbert show... found it on Google and decided to try it for the first time. We were NOT disappointed!! I cannot remember the names of the dishes, I do apologize... but we had oxtail, chicken, shrimp, and salmon as our mains, and EVERYONE was completely satisfied. I asked our server what his favorite dishes were, and he gave me two options (I often have difficulties choosing what to eat). Ultimately, I asked him to pick whatever he wanted for me and for it to be a surprise.... that oxtail, y'all!! 10/10 would recommend!

We had delicious Cuban food made the authentic way, plus nice welcoming staff and a warm atmosphere. We ordered thin traditional Cuban steak and pollo Guagira and we loved them both. The steak comes with a generous amount of caramelized onions that were nicely seasoned, and the chicken comes with several vegetable ingredients, pepper, mushrooms, plantain, etc., a good healthy choice. Make sure to try their mojitos, they were special. I also tried Cuban style beer for the first time that was so good. It was easy to find a table (on a Saturday) and the staff were very attentive and helpful. I recommend this restaurant.
Peter Niknejad - a week ago

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.

Beautiful vibes, all the tables were enjoying themselves, quite rare in the NYC dining scene. Thank you to the extremely talented singer Danae Blanco with a performance extraordinary. It was a very memorable night indeed. I felt transported in Cuba.
Faith L. - 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.

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 - 5 months ago

Happy Cinco de Mayo! There's no better way to celebrate than homemade table side guacamole and a frozen margarita at Rosa Mexicano! Rosa Mexicano has been making their guac table side since the 80s so you know they have perfected it! The frozen margs hit the spot and I can eat their chips all day! Loved the birria tacos and the quesadilla is a classic. Super fun vibe and located right by Lincoln Center!

The guacamole is so amazing. But the other meal I had wasn’t as tasty as I’d like. The service is okay, when I got there, there’s a lot of empty tables but it took quite a while to sit people down. But they’re very nice. The atmosphere is okay. However, the blue lighting doesnt make the food looks appealing. I’d suggest to have warmer or brighter color lighting
Gigi - a month 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!

This place was incredible, every single thing we tried (we ordered 4 appetizers, 3 main dishes and 2 desserts) was incredible - the tuna tartare and burrata especially. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. Gave us recommendations that were delicious. Pacing of the food was perfect, and didn’t feel rushed to leave. Only thing is that it’s a small quiet area so I felt like our table was being a bit loud but as the night progressed it wasn’t as noticeable.

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.
James L - 10 months ago

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!
