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

I feel truly honoured to have had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with hospitality and were sat immediately (no wait at the door). Every little detail of this place was special. The delicious food, the impeccable wine pairings and world-class service makes this place an absolute stand out. I have been fortunate enough to dine at many Michelin star restaurants all over the world, but this place will always have a special place in my heart. It truly does deserve its 3 Michelin star rating! We left happily full from our meal, and they even packaged our dessert course for us to enjoy later at home. Thank you so much for the incredible experience and for making myself and my guest feel so welcomed. 10/10 highly recommend.

Phenomenal experience dining at Per Se. While it is a tasting menu, there were options to accommodate to our preferences and desires. My husband and I are not fans of tasting menus as a whole, but I have to stay every dish was out of this world. The highlight of our experience were the staff. While extremely professional and adhered to the highest quality of serving standards, they adapted to our style of conversation and pace of eating. They were engaging and made our night that much better!

An absolutely magical evening at Per Se, thanks to our incredible attendant Jamie! My friend and I had a truly exceptional dining experience at Per Se. The service was above and beyond; our main attendant, Jamie, was so charming and thoughtful throughout the entire evening. It felt like we had a personal tour guide through our meal, which made the experience even more special, especially for my friend who was visiting for the first time. We both have a lot of dietary restrictions, and dining out can often be a challenge. However, the chefs and staff at Per Se navigated all of our needs with such incredible ease and grace. It was so appreciated to feel completely cared for and to be able to enjoy every single course without a worry. The biggest surprise came at the end of the night when they presented my friend Shannon with an engraved bottle of champagne and chocolates for her 40th birthday. It was such a beautiful, unexpected, and generous gesture that made an already perfect evening truly unforgettable. Thank you again, Jamie and the entire team at Per Se, for a spectacular experience. We can't wait to come back!

Planned a boys trip specifically to have dinner at Per SE. I was not prepared for the service nor the quality of food I was going to experience. Our server was great she was friendly and very knowledgeable with the plates. Each plate was just amazing as the next. You have an option vegetarian or meat menu. Also there is a dress code is no short sleeve shirts. You don't have to wear a jacket just as long as you have long sleeves. They do offer jackets for the men with short sleeves. Looking forward to my next visit.

Marea exceeded expectations—from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly taken care of. Attentive, warm, and professional throughout. The food was just as impressive. The seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful, but even non-seafood options like the steak and pastas were just as memorable. Dessert was a showstopper. A refined dining experience with top-tier hospitality. Highly recommend.
Carlos Montelara - 2 months ago

Been to this restaurant multiple times, and I found the quality of their food is consistently excellent and the service is also top-notch as it usually is. I highly recommend their octopus fusilli, one of their signature dishes, and their halibut, which, in my opinion, is one of the best dishes on the menu.
Alfred Shaw - a month ago

This place offers a beautiful ambience with an elegant vibe. The service was top-notch, and every dish was exceptional - you truly can't go wrong with the menu. The octopus fusilli and lobster burrata stood out the most for me - both were rich in flavor and perfectly crafted. I'm already looking forward to returning for another unforgettable meal.

Came here the other day for a birthday lunch and it was delicious! We shared the salad with anchovies which was crisp and fresh and the dressing also on point. For the mains, we tried the shrimp gnocchetti, the halibut, and the scallops - all cooked to perfection. I didn't try any of their cocktails but did have the elderflower mocktail which was tangy and refreshing. Dessert was amazing - the tiramisu with a twist, the millefoglie with pistachio and raspberry atop the deconstructed pâte feuilletée was decadent and light. I had no idea that there was also a birthday dessert with the bomboloni and a mini pistachio cake from the kitchen! Service was incredible - we felt attended to by the wait-staff and I must say the bread basket that continued to circle the dining room was the cherry on top. The ambience was quiet but not stuffy - the perfect setting for a family meal. I would certainly come back here again to try other items on the menu!
Nilima Shet - 7 months ago

Where do I even start? Fantastic food and service. The branzino tartare was *chef’s kiss*. The halibut made me gasp. It had last supper energy. Sheer artistry. Staff were also perceptive and patient. I will be back for sure.

Wonderful and friendly staff. Delicious tasting menu. We selected the 6 course menu and we were not disappointed. Great selection of wine; but apparently they don’t offer wine and food pairing options.
Blue Nile - a month ago

Amazing experience, but for a 2 Star Michelin, it needs some improvement! I was expecting something more intimate and the restaurant was packed. We were seated in a table with a long couch with two other families very close to us. We had the six course omnivore and two courses were disappointing: the caviar taste disappeared in the green garbanzo beans; the wagyu per se was tasteless and needs improvement! The last thing was the restroom, which was very basic and not compatible with the restaurant sophistication!
Wladimir Meskelis - 5 months ago

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 year 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.
Ryo Shigemitsu - a year ago

Jean-Georges’ flagship restaurant delivers everything expected of a $400 tasting menu, plus some more. One of the best meals of my life. JG’s flavors are bright, inventive, and delicious, marked by judicious use of acidity and flavors from all over Asia. Genius. I’ve never experienced these sorts of interesting flavors at any other restaurant. Despite its age, JG is one of the most youthful and exciting fine dining restaurants in NYC, full of vigor and brimming with fresh ideas. It actively pushes the boundaries of the art of fine dining the same way that a maestro wants to leave an imprint in their own artistic field. JG is worthy of being a destination dining. Caveat: you must love acidity to enjoy a meal here. Normally I highlight the standout dishes. Here, every dish was a standout except two, an exceptionally high hit rate for such a long menu. The caviar with coconut semifreddo and dill oil felt too simplistic and flat: fun concept but seemed missing a few ingredients. The seared foie gras was missing acidity. If it appeared earlier in the meal I’d have enjoyed it more (but then it’d ruin my appetite). A sweet and heavy dish towards the end was a bit much without some acidity to balance it out. Everything else was downright phenomenal, especially the madai sashimi with strawberry, sakura, and wasabi, which sent me directly to the stratosphere. The tuna tartare’s decoration is an exemplar of garnish for flavor, not just aesthetics, as the mint added a nice surprise and significantly changed two or three bites. The dining room was beautifully bathed by natural lighting with a nice view of the mall and skyscrapers. The wine by the glass selection was just as complex and exciting as the food. The service was extraordinary: conversational without feeling rehearsed, and it felt like they’d do everything in their power to make sure you have an excellent dinner. I look forward to my next meal here.

Went because of a recommendation for the oxtail fried rice, would love to go again to try other items. Dim and cozy setting. Ordered - dynamite, blue ribbon roll, oxtail fried rice. After the app and roll were served we were wondering if there would be enough food but the fried rice is rich and extremely filling.
Priscilla V - a week ago

Happened upon this place in search of some good NYC sushi and found NYC’s best Sushi. We didn’t have much time to enjoy Blue Ribbon, but I definitely will find my way back. I only had the Dragon roll, and a beer. But I have to say it was fresh land very hearty. Beautifully presented. Our server who was behind the bar was just as attentive as a table server would be. I would highly recommend a reservation, even though we felt very welcomed to sit by the bar and enjoy.
Timothy Montalvo - 5 months ago

Runnnnn don't walk!!! This place is hands down the best to ever do it. I especially love the oxtail fried rice *chef's kiss* and the grilled avocado. I need to try more items but I just cannot get past my two faves.

Good quiet atmosphere though we had a late lunch at around 3pm. Service was good and professional. Food was yummy!
Cheryl - 3 months ago

I had start off sushi (forgot name) and fried dumplings. Both were good. Then i had oxtail fried rice with fried chicken. I didn’t think they was going bring me a half chicken fried ! I promise you those oxtail fried rice with the fried chicken is the bomb ! My girl had order a fish that came raw with like the head cut (don’t really eat raw stuff) and they took it back and switch it for her, for half a chicken. If I was to be able give them another star for that I would. That was great service and we truly appreciate you guys for doing that for us !!

Patsy’s is the real deal. Not long after arriving we met Chef Sal, third generation owner. He and his staff were so warm and welcoming. The eggplant parmigiana was easily the BEST I’ve ever had. Bring your appetite- the portion sizes are very generous, you will not leave hungry. Thank you Michael Bublé for the recommendation, we loved it as much as you do! Be sure to call ahead and make a reservation- this place was bustling even on a Monday night. ps) Chef Sal even went outside so we could take a selfie with him in front of his iconic sign🙏
Michelle Robichaud - 4 weeks ago

For my first proper dinner in NYC, I chose to book a table at Patsy’s, and from the very beginning, their excellent staff (seriously, in a city full of people really great at hospitality, these guys might take the crown) made us feel right at home. Since the food was delicious (the flavors, wow), and as the drinks were flowing (kudos for making Old Fashioned the old fashioned way, no pun intended), it was clear to me how this restaurant has kept people returning again and again decade by decade. A true institution for over 80 years, here’s to many more!
Elvijs L. - in the last week

We had THE BEST service, food and drinks. The shrimp scampi was perfection. Adrian was so nice, professional and helped with choices when a few of us were undecided. He had us laughing the whole meal.
Deb Hash - a month ago

My wife and I came to Patsy‘s because we heard the food was legendary. When we arrived immediately, we felt welcomed like we were at home. The waiter Danny was wonderful at his responsibilities and made us feel very important. The owner Sal himself came, sat with us, gave us history of the restaurant And shared with his personal experiences, including with Frank Sinatra. We both ordered fettuccine Alfredo, which for us was the best we’ve ever had. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and personally take our most beloved family there we hope that this restaurant continues to be an experience for all those who love excellent Italian food!

For a high end Manhattan steak restaurant a lot of things were delish (the bacon, creamed corn and spinach, bone marrow) but not consistently the steaks. We liked our prime rib. Our porterhouse and chili rub rib eye were disappointingly salted and flavored to the point we had to ask for salt and steak sauce. For $200+ pp I expect better steaks. The service was solid. They could upgrade the decor - there were patches in my seat that looked like water stains.
Amy Wu - 7 months ago

Last Night, I had the Prime Rib, which they have on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is the BEST Tasting Prime Rib I have ever had, first of all ! This is my second visit to this Restaurant and everything was Perfect this time ! Food, Service and Ambiance. This is an Outstanding Restaurant all around. And to make it even better, it’s on the Top Floor of a Fancy Shopping Mall (The Shops at Columbus Circle) right next to Central Park in Midtown Manhattan !

Updated review today: a year can make a difference, we went back and the service and all was very good. Attentive, timely and overall pleasant experience. Upgraded our review to 4 stars. We had a white truffle filled dinner. Well done. A year ago initial review: The quality of the food is good. My rib-eye was prepared as requested. That night, I was eating dinner alone so this review is one-person’s opinion. With that said, the service was lacking. I order a shrimp cocktail which never came. Waiter never came by to check up in with me as to how my culinary experience was going. Other tables were being given the proper and adequate attention. Could have been an off night or perhaps a table of one doesn’t get the same attention as a table for two or more. If not for the service, my start rating would have been a 4.
Carmine Battista - 10 months ago

Porterhouse Steak was good. Service did not feel that great. They could have done a better job considering the check cost about US$550. Atmosphere is kind of dated. Needs a little touch up. Have been to better places with amazing service for that kind of price. Taking pride in your brand and food is good. But, have to keep up with that kind of image for all customers.
Lango Sven - 10 months ago

Came here for lunch during restaurant week and had a wonderful experience. I really liked how they had their own mocktail specials. I got the shrimp cocktail which was huge and flavorful. The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned really well. The dessert was supposed to be like a lava cake. There wasn't much ooze but still tasty with the whipped cream. All that for 40 (minus the cocktail) was definitely worth it!

This place was great! We made a reservation for 5 they sat us down right away. Started with the guacamole and they make it right in front of your to your liking whether you want mild, medium or spicy. It was delicious, we got it mild. The cocktails were great! I had the pomegranate frozen margarita which is one of their signature cocktails. For my entree I had the birrias quesatacos. Can’t go wrong with them. And don’t pass on the desert, the flan is one of the best flans I’ve ever had. Will definitely go here again!
Andres Sanchez - 5 months ago

Definitely enjoyed this place. Friendly greeting from the front, helpful and knowledgeable bartender doing his thing. Although I didn't drink (work🎥) the cocktail list looks incredible Had delicious tacos of course, accompanied by really good salsa Upstairs is the only bathroom? But it's a scenic route, go on and check this place out! Thanks for the hospitality, see y'all soon🫡

It had been a couple of years since having dinner at this Lincoln Center dining stalwart. Fortunately this Mexican restaurant has maintained its high standards. We were welcomed by the kitchen with a tasty amuse-bouche. We then followed that with guacamole en molcajete made tableside. It was teamed with chips and red salsa. A great start to the meal. We then ordered chicken flautas, ahi tuna taquitos and steak fajita. The fajita came with shredded cheese, crema and pico de gallo. There was also a side of black beans and rice. We enjoyed everything they put in front of us since it was all well seasoned. We finished the meal with a surprisingly light strawberry shortcake. We were very impressed by the service provided. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You will also enjoy the classy look and feel of this restaurant.

My recent visit to Rosa Mexicano was pretty cool. I was on a solo date at Lincoln Center, and from the time I purchased my ticket for the show, I made a reservation, for one. Upon arrival, I noticed the bright and welcoming decor, along with the light early evening buzz, it was a little after 4:30pm. Unfortunately, the host didn’t match that energy. The individual was very dry and blah. But I wasn’t going to allow them to dampen my mood. I was seated, then warmly greeted by my server. He brought a bowl of fresh tortilla chips and salsa, both tasty! After a few minutes, the server return for my order. He got all the fine details correct, without writing them down (impressive). In the past I’ve had their popular margaritas, but that day I enjoyed my meal with an individual bottle of Saratoga Sparkling water, with a wedge of lemon and lime. (So satisfying!!) As for my meal, I had roasted mushroom enchiladas, w/ a side Mexican rice and ripe plantain… oh so delicious!!! Overall, I enjoyed my evening at Rosa Mexicano, and will surely go again!

I was just strolling through the area looking for a good bite to eat and wow, this place definitely hit the spot! First off, shoutout to Luis, my server, who was straight from heaven. He knew the menu like the back of his hand, was incredibly attentive, and just an all-around joy. Then there was Israel, who made the tableside guacamole...major bonus! and on top of it, he was so personable, charming, and fun to chat with. Now let’s talk food: The chips, salsa, and guac? Fresh fresh fresh. Like, I could taste the love in each bite. I ordered a mojito, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had in a long time. So much so, I splurged and had two! For my meal, I had the Baja fish tacos, and let me tell you: I would literally come back just for those tacos. Perfectly seasoned, super fresh ingredients, and felt like an authentic Mexican street-style dish. The aesthetics of the place are super cool: multi-level seating (both upstairs and downstairs), plus an outdoor patio. I noticed a pup sitting outside with its owner, so it looks like they’re dog-friendly at least for the outdoor area. Cleanliness? Spot on. Floors, tables, bathrooms: all spotless and well-stocked. Everyone from the host to the bus staff was warm, friendly, and full of good vibes. It really added to the whole experience. And best of all, it's right across from Lincoln Center, so if you're in the area, this spot is a must try. I’ll definitely be back!

Robert is one of those rare New York restaurants where the atmosphere, view, and food all come together for a truly memorable experience. Located on the top floor of the Museum of Arts & Design, the restaurant overlooks Columbus Circle and Central Park with breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows. The ambiance is modern and stylish, with soft music that creates a relaxed yet elegant mood — ideal for a date night or special occasion. While many come here for the views, the food deserves just as much attention. The burger, in particular, was outstanding — juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly to order. The beef was rich and flavorful, paired with a fresh, lightly toasted bun that held everything together. Toppings were crisp and balanced, with melted cheese that added the right amount of creaminess. It’s the kind of burger that feels elevated yet still comforting, and it left a lasting impression. Service matched the quality of the setting: attentive, professional, and warm, with staff checking in at the right moments without ever making the meal feel rushed. Robert combines spectacular views with genuinely delicious food — a rare and special combination in NYC that makes it worth visiting again.

We were having brunch on our last day in the city. We had reservations, and was seated right away. The eggs Benny was exceptional, and fresh fruit was delicious. The service was very attentive, and we were treated very well. They allowed us to store our backpacks at the host station witch allowed us better access to our table. Super happy!
Larry Johnson - 2 months ago

We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking view from Robert. The theme colors were somewhat outside the traditional classic style, but they were quite peculiar. All dishes were of excellent quality and delicious. The complimentary appetizer and dessert were much appreciated. The service was exceptionally courteous and pleasant as well.

Robert is a gem! I always bring friends that are visiting and make their visit even more special. From the table setting, the appetizers, and the main courses, so good! The desserts surprised us with their variety and beautiful presentation. So delicious! The wine list is a standout; they've even won awards for it—shoutouts to Robert's sommelier, Francisco! Not incredible enough, the restaurant has a stunning view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. Robert is my table dinner.

We went on a Wednesday evening for my bday dinner. Service was great! Very friendly and welcoming. I ordered coconut mojito, which was everything I expected. As an appetizer we tried the shrimp plantain cup and it was soo deeelicious. My partner ordered breaded steak, I had the skirt steak with chimichrri sauce. We both had the white rice w/ black beans. Everything was amazing... Only one slight issue, my steak was a bit tough. It definitely could have been more tender. Price was reasonable. We also had the opportunity to see their live band. So for the price, it was well worth it. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back in a Friday or Saturday evening as we were invited by the owner and one of the band players.
Judy Arroyo - a week ago

Great Cuban food just a few blocks aways from times square. We all left quite satisfied with the dinner. At 9 pm on Fridays (and other nights), they have a live band which really added to the ambiance.

The best skirt steak I’ve had in the city hands down. The food is so fresh and delicious and the steak came out literally sizzling. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The portion sizes were very very generous as well, highly recommend!
Gabrielle Levesque - 2 months ago

I always walk around this place and never went in. I stayed late at work and decided to see what was open and this places popped up. I figured it would try it and wow. The ambiance is chill. We got lucky they had live music when we went in. I think the drinks are a bit pricey for what it is but they are good. The service is great and everyone helps you and are very nice. The food was definitely worth everything. So good and fresh. Would recommend having dinner here.

A trusted name and source for high dining. Still has plenty to like and give as a experience in NYC. Food is terrific. Portions are not overwhelming. Desserts are not to be missed. Luckily you should have room to indulge yourself. Centrally located, just off Central Park West in the Trump Intl Hotel and Towers on Columbus Circle.

There’s lots that are delicious but these are the best items on the menu: 1. Kale salad (don’t scoff! It’s one of my top 3 salads in nyc!! Ask for grilled salmon on top) 2. Butterscotch pudding

Disappointing experience. Went with friend to try the restaurant week menu, everything was either mediocre or bad. The wait was also super long and front desk was not attentive.
Joyce - 2 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!
Alisa - 2 years ago

I love coming to Nougatine to celebrate special occasions. They have a beautiful outdoor terrace. Now to the food. We started with the Kale Salad and the burrata. Both were tasty. For main courses we went with the Rigatoni with Meatballs, the Cheeseburger, the Parmesan Crusted Chicken and the soft shell crab. All were cooked right except for the burger which was over cooked but after it was redone it was perfect as well! All the mains tasted delicious. The portion of the chicken was a little small. Finally, for dessert we got shortbread cookies and the butterscotch pudding. The cookies aren’t on the dessert menu but ask your waiter or waitress and they will give some to you. Overall we had a great meal. Five stars.
