Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 5th Avenue Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

I had lunch during the month of December with my family, we were 7 people. Reservation is a must. The service is excellent, all the staff is very friendly and profesional. The quality of food, very specific the meat is excellent. I will repeat it again. The restaurant is big with Parisian-style, big windows with a lot of natural light. It’s loud in case you are looking for something more quiet. This place is great for family parties and friends. After or before eating, I recommend to have a walk around which is nice. Highly recommended.

We are at the Bryant Park Grill and enjoyed the fact that it was located on the edge of the park. The views were lovely. The food was very good and their menu is sizable and diverse. Our table server was very friendly and attentive. The only negatives we found was the receptionist was not very personable, not rude, just not friendly. The other issue was a dirty spot on the curtains adjacent to our seating. Not a big issue just out of line with the rest of the decor. Overall a pleasant experience.

Great feeling overlooking Bryant Park, service staff impeccable and attentive, even at the door during Christmas crowds. Food all good as expected, despite the full house crowds. Only hit is the high price for this place. Parking also an issue as it's directly sandwiched behind the library and the park, so will need to find parking in nearby parking garages.

Bryant Park Grill was the PERFECT place to host our wedding reception. From admin to the waiters at the reception, the staff is the most professional, buttoned-up, classic New York group who executed everything to perfection on our wedding day. Linda was so fun to do business with and throughout the entire process, she was incredibly confident in BPG's abilities and experienced with hundreds of weddings. On the day of, Diane was our captain and she anticipated every single one of our wants or needs throughout the evening. If you also have your ceremony here, you truly will not need a wedding coordinator. PLUS I was shocked at how reasonable the package pricing was compared to other iconic NYC venues. Bonus points for having the NY Public Library next door for truly breathtaking photos. 100 out of 10!

Such an aesthetically pleasing restaurant. Loved that the trees were not cut down to build the other side of the restaurant. Trees were incorporated into the incorporate to the Decour of the restaurant. Now to the food, we love calamari, and their calamari was so good. My husband got a burger, and I got the filet mignon and my son got the chicken tenders with fries. He didn’t like the chicken tenders so he ended up getting my filet mignon. Drinks and food are amazing. Service was great. We did come with our child, and there is no kids menu. But they do offer a pasta for the children or the chicken tenders with fries. Portions are very generous, so I could’ve skipped, ordering the chicken tenders for him and just shared my filet mignon.

Great atmosphere and food! The rack of lamb with the carrots and baby kale was amazing! I definitely recommend the spiced watermelon drink. The ambiance and music was sophisticated and down to earth. It was a whole vibe. We celebrated a birthday. Our waiter Jay was attentive and polite. Great service. You should definitely check them out if you’re in town.

STK is a great steakhouse but for the price theres so much better in NYC. The atmosphere/ ambiance was absolutely stunning but the food was average. Highly recommend ordering a steak which i made the big mistake of not doing. The free bread is my opinion is the best part. Great place to have a date night.

I have been going to Sophie’s for years and the food never disappoints!! I got the shredded beef stew this time and it was just as good as always, especially with the green sauce, which is a little bit spicy (not too hot though). I will definitely come again.

I was extremely disappointed with our visit, the lines were long, so we thought we had hit the jackpot. There’s a few things I would change number one the lunch specials none of which include an actual meat with rice and beans. For example, one lunch special was a Cuban sandwich with a side of rice and beans which makes no sense. The way they organize the food was bad. They had rice, meats, beans, sides, all intermingled in the same section and they have two carts of food. Because the staff rush you through the line, we unfortunately ordered our food, while we were in front of the first section, so we missed out on other sides and meats available in the section closest to the register. The food was rather bland for Cuban food, I love Caribbean food and this did not hit the mark. We ordered 2 meals, 2 sodas, an empanada and stuff potato and paid over $50 way more than I expected to pay for such small portions of food.

I'm all the way in my feelings missing my favorite NY food. This by far is my favorite spot in the city for Cuban cuisine. They are quick and easy and the food is always yummy. The grilled hot chicken and Verde sauce is absolutely yummy. Love them #givingempress 🫶🏽

I've never been to a bad Sophie's. Great food, relatively quick in and out. Small gripe that a platter now costs $19, but I won't hold it against them because it was delicious.

Okay so I’m baffled at the negative reviews on here. For context, I’m occasionally ranked as a top 10% Google eatery reviewer. The atmosphere and vibes are spot on - classy, elegant but not stuffy or pretentious. Service - we were doted on but not smothered, our waitress and the host were fantastic checking in on us at appropriate intervals. The small plates including the sticky rice and others are clearly the star of the show here. Me and my friend got a bunch of small plates and sushi rolls. The sushi was above average but I feel on a relative basis the small plates are just pure awesome. I would come here for a business dinner, anniversary date, probably too much for a first date in my opinion and maybe a small group of friends. Fun Fact: Koi is the restaurant in LA that Ari and Eric have dinner in. The LA location is the original. 11/10 recommend. No hesitation.

It was a great experience. The place is definitely popular so I would definitely recommend a reservation. The only problem we had is that some how our reservation got lost. However, the manager came over and assured us that we would be taken care of. We had the next table available and she sent us complimentary edamame. The food was all DELICIOUS. It is all ‘family style’ sushi so it’s great to get a bunch of things so that you can share. We were able to try a variety of different dishes and all give our opinions. It was so good I wanted to keep eating but it definitely is a little pricier than what I normally pay for sushi so I restrained. Our server was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. Attended to us all night and the people helping him were also really nice too. Drinks took slightly longer than I would have liked but they were all hand made and delicious so it was easy to look past that. The bathroom is a little bit of a walk but it’s fine. I highly, highly recommend. It is a little bit pricey but definitely worth the money.

Koi Sushi near Bryant Park offers stellar service, but unfortunately, the food falls short of expectations. I tried the chicken karage, spicy tuna hand roll, and baked crab roll, and while they were okay, they didn't quite justify the price point. The chicken karage lacked flavor, and the sushi rolls were mediocre at best. However, the attentive service elevated the dining experience. If you're in the area and looking for great service, Koi Sushi delivers, but for exceptional food, you may want to explore other options nearby.

Definitely an okay place. I always review with an unbiased opinion. My wife and I had high expectations of this place with and with an average PPA of $75-$85 you would hope service and food would be up to par. However, we did not have that experience. Food was alright but nothing stood out. I ordered the house specialty Negroni and for some reason it was shaken which drastically alters it’s flavor and textured. It was so watered down and aerated and contained large amounts of ice chips. I unfortunately sent it back and ordered another one only to receive it again shaken with lots of ice chips. The lychee martini was too sweet and was not balanced and it also contained lots of ice chips. We ordered a few things but as stated before nothing wowed us. Our steak was not cooked to our liking, we asked for medium rare and it was served medium well +. Unfortunately our server had to leave due to an emergency and we didn’t have anyone to check on us. I don’t think we will be going back soon. However, the atmosphere was good. People were having a good time.

Morton's Steakhouse exceeded all expectations, delivering a dining experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. From the exquisite cuisine to the impeccable service, every aspect of our visit was superb. I wholeheartedly recommend Morton's to anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience.I really enjoyed my birthday dinner !
Robin Thomas - 3 weeks ago

I often grab lunch here and haven't yet tried their dinner, but I gotta say, this place nails it during lunchtime. The vibe is just right and the service is top-notch. Their burgers are a must-try, especially with those crispy fries. And don't even get me started on their Morton steak sauce - it's the bomb on a burger. Pro tip: ask for caramelized onions on top; it's a game changer. Heads up, their medium burgers are more on the medium-well side, so if you're a medium fan, go for medium-rare. Trust me, it's worth it!

The Wife and I did our annual trip to NYC to check out the tree and all of the Christmas festivities the city has to offer. This year we wanted to try Morton’s. We first were given bread which was served with plenty of butter to go along with it. Next was our entrees, we wanted to save room for a number of sides so we held off on any appetizers. We enjoyed the 8oz Filet, the 16oz NY Strip complimented with bacon wrapped scallops, the creamed spinach, brussel sprouts and smoked Gouda & bacon Au gratin potatoes. The steaks were delish especially when doused with the truffle butter. The creamed spinach was incredible and so were the Brussels sprouts. I thought the potatoes were okay, but I was happy to give them a try. To finish off the meal we enjoyed a few coffees and a crème brûlée to share. It may have lasted 2 minutes. Very delicious. Our waiter was incredible and made the dining experience wonderful. Glad we stopped in and look forward to go back in the future!

Lovely place for breakfast in Madison Avenue! Their coffee is super delicious and always freshly brewed! I love the hazelnut coffee ☕️ as it always has amazing after taste. The place is great for families with children as there’re many options for different breakfast preferences! There is a station for freshly made sandwiches where you can get egg sandwiches A station for prepared hot food, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal and a juicing bar. If you are there don’t miss trying their peanut butter wraps!

We came here when visiting NYC 5 years ago so made a special trip back there. Huge range of items to choose from and you pay by weight, great healthy options, very busy and seems to be popular with local workers. My photo is my mix of guacamole, fish, sesame chicken, cauliflower, broccoli

This place is like a canteen. Nice, spacious, clean and neat and of course you need the vaccine card to stay in. They have many different kinds of food that you can choose Western and Asian as well. And I love the Smoothies Corner my favorites are Cucumber Protein (Juice) and Funky Monkey (Smothie). Their dumplings and shiumai are must try!

I was surprised of bright flavour of Szechuan Gourmet Special Fried Rice because it wasn’t cooked traditionally. It had dried baby fish and baby shrimp. Also, I liked slightly spicy Jellyfish salad. It was crunchy and without seafood flavor.
Violette Ospol - a week ago

Very very tasty. Great level of spice, flavor and combined with fresh ingredients. I was able to get in and out in 40 minutes which is great for a lunch spot. It does get busy so I'd recommend getting their early

We really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant. We were 7 and they accommodated us without any problems. Food was delicious. Service very good as well. A very complete menu, with lots of different plates to choose from. If you are not a fan of spicy food, just make sure you order mild, since Szechuan food is known for its spiciness.
Peter Hey (RV PLANET) - 4 months ago

Szechuan Gourmet is definitely one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Manhattan.It’s recommended by Bib Gourmand for years and we finally gave it a visit last weekend. We had their Mapo Tofu, Braised Fish Fillet w Roasted Chili, Sautéed String Beans and Braised Beef Flank Pot. Their portion was decent with a little high price but the taste was outstandingly delicious. The Mapo Tofu was one of my favorites. It was extremely soft and flavorful with mild spicy. Their Braised Fish Fillet w/ Roasted Chili was surprisingly tasty and flavorful. The texture of the fish was delicate with appetizing sauce.

Great cheap & quick to-go indian food! I had steak tikka roll in paratha. The flat bread was crunchy, filled with seasoned beef cubes & fresh red onions. Just the perfect level of spicy! There were vegan & vegetarian menus as well. Almost all rolls were priced around $4-$8. I came at lunch time, was quite a queue, and had to wait around 10mins to get my order. Staff counters were nice. Would come back to try other menus.

This place has one of the best kati rolls I have ever had in USA. We have ordered unda chicken roll and unda panner roll, both of were amazing. Chicken roll was the best,bursting with flavors. The chicken tikka was juicy , marinated with nice spices, yogurt ,chargrilled and fresh which was well complimented with mint sauce. Panner roll was great as well, however I think the panner being more bigger in pieces did not hold the flavor as the chicken. May be having smaller paneer pieces which will be more marinated pieces , might increase the flavor of the roll. Paneer was fresh and soft , just a lil bland here and there. Personal being from, India its hard to find places which can satisfy the taste of having a Frankie/ Kati roll. The specialty of Frankie is to have a roll with an extra layer of beaten egg which takes the roll to a whole another level then a regular roll with no egg.I am so glad the Kati roll company just offers the quick bite so the way I miss it. Definitely next time I visit them and I will have more. Great place for some one who wants to have a quick bite yet so filling and delicious.

I got the Unda Chicken Roll and the Chicken Tikka Roll. The Unda Chicken Roll was fantastic, the chicken was juicy and seasoned to perfection, and paired perfectly with the egg and onions. Definitely the best thing on the menu in my opinion. The Chicken Tikka Roll was good but compared to the Unda Chicken Roll it was kind of average, it was mainly chicken and spices that you could taste and not much else. The mango lassi was sweet and delicious, and helped to clean my palate of all the spicy food. It was pretty busy when we were there but that seems to always be the case. Our wait time wasn't too bad, we got our food in about 10 minutes. The place is currently under renovation so there's a huge piece of drywall missing by the entrance, it's not the most pleasing thing to look at but it's understandable, they've got to keep making money after all.

The place is great for a quick bite of Indian fast food. There is a limited menu (which is good) however not many options for my vegetarian friends. We ordered the chicken Tikka and Shammi Kebab, the taste was great however, I found the kebab to be a little dry. Earlier the rolls used to be filled till the top now I see that the filling has reduce. The staff was nice and the place was decently clean with a washroom.

Located downtown, offers a taste of authentic Indian street food that's sure to impress. The menu boasts a variety of options, from classic Chicken Tikka Rolls to vegetarian delights like Paneer Tikka Rolls. Each dish is bursting with flavor, expertly balanced with tangy sauces and crispy accompaniments. We also had the mango lassi which was super delicious!! although super crowded, the ambiance is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. With its delicious offerings and impeccable service, a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of India's culinary delights.

Reasonably priced food with great customer service. We had breakfast here twice, and they were rubbing like a well-oiled machine. Very small wait to get the food and it was hot. We would eat here again.

A friend recommended The Red Flame for breakfast and we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is a short walk from Times Square and we were seated at 830am on a Friday in under 5 minutes. The menu had all the diner standards and our food was exactly as ordered. Serving sizes were generous and the service was quick and efficient. The prices were a little higher than diners further from Times Square but not bad.

I along with two colleagues had a very disappointing dinner at Kellari Taverna on West 44th in New York City. The restaurant has a very appealing décor and atmosphere and there was a nice welcome at the door. Service at our table was very attentive but unfortunately that’s where the positive part of this review ends. We ordered some grilled calamari to share the table and it arrived in some undefined sauce without serving spoons. The calamari was bland and tasteless and a little chewy, which to be objective should be expected. It certainly didn’t taste grilled as there was no char taste. I ordered the solomos as the main course, which was crusted salmon over a bed of spinach and kale with fingerling potatoes. The crusted salmon arrived looking burnt and overcooked while the fingerling potatoes were completely undercooked. I also ordered a side of rapini was which was served on a bed of some strange orange, lumpy sauce. Suffice it to say, I ate the salmon filet, without the crust, spinach, rapini all of which were inedible. This was a very disappointing meal, and I will not be back. In a city with so many excellent restaurants, our dinner was a very disappointing experience.

We dined here on a weeknight after a late arrival to our hotel. This restaurant was recommended by the hotel check-in staff. We were not disappointed! The restaurant was very busy but the staff were able to seat us within minutes. We received attentive service from server Jon. He helped us select a delicious bottle of white wine from Greece which we paired with the grilled octopus appetizer and two seafood/pasta entrees. My wife had the squid ink pasta with scallops and I had the daily special (branzino/lavraki with lemon/wine/butter linguine). The food was delicious and the price point was reasonable. Great dining experience for sure!

WFH has some challenges, one of them is the lack of live meetings and spaces to do so. Luckily for me, I am not far from Kellari and is now my go to for a quick cocktails, dinner or a meeting in the middle of the day. I felt like I had to write a review because today was one of those days, the staff remembers me and made me great in front of my clients. I highly recommend it.

Perfect restaurant in the way that only NYC can deliver. We ate a light late-night after-theater meal, and they easily accommodated dietary restrictions. The ambience is relaxed and professional, and the food was straightforward, but well done, with good ingredients. It was more than possible to eat well and very healthy. The wait staff were really good, though (understandably) they were bringing the evening to a close as it was late. The Manager, Jorvos(?), was charming and attentive (we were celebrating a birthday), and we left feeling like it was the perfect dining experience to have had on a visit to the city to celebrate.

This was our fourth visit to Kellari Tavern. sadly, this visit was very disappointing. The service was terrible and all three courses came out less than 45 minutes. You no sooner put your fork down and The next course was there and your plates were cleaned. Our server never asked us if we would like an additional glass of wine, nor did she ask if we would want any coffee. The sea bass on the main entrée was overcooked, however the appetizer of fried calamari Was very good. We did order from the Price fix dinner menu. This was definitely the most rushed meal I have ever experienced and along with the poor service made for a disappointing dining experience. It will be a while before I may decide to try this restaurant again.
