My mom and I pre-celebrated Mother’s Day at The Smith and had an amazing experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious — we ordered everything from appetizers to dessert and espressos, and every single item was flavorful and well prepared. We stayed for over 3 hours enjoying the atmosphere, food, and conversation, and never once felt rushed. Our server was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better. Such a great spot for celebrations, brunch, or a long dinner with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!

Came here because my husband raved! Nikolai F is a ray of sunshine! He was my server and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. His kindness made my day. His “happiness” checks made me smile! After my meal was finished he offered to fill my water with fresh cold water since it was hot out. The small acts of kindness truly was wonderful. Now the food! Oh my! The burrata was AMAZING super creamy, fresh, full of flavor. The tomatoes just burst perfectly! The garlic bread was very light but great! The bacon was AMAZING. I liked that they asked how you liked it cooked. It was crispy and delicious! The mushrooms were my favorite part of the meal! Not overcooked and gently seasoned but so flavorful! The raspberry sorbet was so refreshing because of the heat. Super fresh and strong flavor but amazing! The best part! SO AFFORDABLE! Highly recommend and will def come back. Would love to try the steak and soup next!

Charming, dimly lit… fun gathering place. Menu is well curated: highly recommend the Citrus + Fennel 🥗 Salad (add some grilled shrimp 🍤). The Penne Vodka: YUM (has an unexpected ‘kick’ to it. Great🍔. French Dip: delish… Lots to choose from, & they’re famous for their fries (served Parisian style). Francis served us: thank you Francis for taking such awesome care of us 🙌 We loved your service 🙏 …And, for third night in a row: citrus salad called us back & another amaretto sour! David P, you’re the BEST. ❤️ Thanks so much —love the cookies...!!!

We ordered take out today. I got a miso salmon and sea salt fries. The salmon was cook very nicely. It came with soba noodles, shredded vegetables and some mushrooms. The dressing was quite flavorful. I tasted miso and slinger. It was slightly sweet and refreshing. The fries were quite good as well. Portion was great! Overall, it was a nice and filling meal.

Always one of my favorite spots They serve one of the best mussel pots, and the half chicken is absolutely delicious It’s a great spot to stop by before a show at Lincoln Center. The atmosphere is lively, and you might even spot famous movie stars or people from the film and music industry here 😊( I saw them twice) P.S. love the free sparkling water **The servers are always busy here, so if you need something, it’s best to ask them all at once

Had an awesome meal here before hitting Lincoln Center for a show. I think of PJ Clarke’s as an NYC institution and there’s a reason why the team has multiple locations in the city and has been around for so long. They’ve got quality food and service you can count on with a relaxed, local vibe. I ordered an espresso martini to jumpstart my Friday night and the sticky ribs and cheesesteak egg rolls to start. Ended up going for the Connecticut lobster roll that came with chips and was perfectly cooked and buttered. Service was great from the host to our helpful server and the meal was paced perfectly to get us out on time for our show. Will definitely be coming back.

great dinner experience for a party of 7, and we were able to get seated early! The chicken pot pie was more soupy than expected but the pastry was amazing. The zero proof spritz was also delicious and glad they had zero proof options! Conveniently located across the Lincoln performing arts center.

Wow! What excellent service! Our waiter was so lovely, and even introduced us to another waiter from our hometown! If that wasn’t enough, the food was also delicious. It was a great place to enjoy our meal before heading over to see the ballet!

We stopped into P.J. Clarke’s in mid-December following a Christmas show at Lincoln Center, and we were pleased to find the restaurant very much open and buzzing with activity, even after 10PM. I’ve been going to Clarke’s since my first visit to the 3rd Ave location oh, sometime around 1975! I used to hang out at the front mini-raw bar and have a few beers and an order of Chili. Well, that was 50 years ago, times have changed, the Chili is (sadly) gone, but the vibe overall has not changed too much, even at this much newer location. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, called “The Cadillac” while my wife, who was not too hungry, chose the Chicken Vegetable Soup. Service overall was very good, and while the soup was not our favorite (see the sad-looking photo, taken as it was placed on our table), the Cheeseburger held up Clarke’s reputation as having one of the best burgers in town. Just to make sure I am not crazy, I looked up a few other recent reviews of the Chicken Soup. 

One reviewer wrote exactly what I was thinking: “I got the chicken soup. This chicken soup looked honestly like if I waited any length of time without touching it, she'd think I ate it already and what's left is just what I left behind. Take a look at the photo. It's not even filled halfway to the middle of the bowl. For $17 you should have full bowl of soup. It was literally 6 sips of soup and the entire thing was finished.” I agree with this other reviewer 100%. So, I would urge the Clarke’s folks to look into this Soup situation. (By the way, I am not some "small portion" whiner... I dined at Le Bernardin for lunch this same day). Other than the Chicken Soup issue… P.J. Clarke's was all good. It was good to be back and I will keep returning to 3rd Ave, Lincoln Center, and even the new midtown spot.

Just had dinner at PJ Clarke’s in Lincoln Square. We were seated very quickly upon our early arrival for our 7PM reservation. From then on it was an amazing experience that the five of us will not forget. Two of us ordered Manhattans, they were excellent! Our group ordered a variety of main courses including Cadillac Burgers (which came with fries), branzino and chicken pot pie. All of us loved the food, the exceptional service and the warm atmosphere. The management was making sure that everything was perfect, a job well done. THANK YOU to the entire staff at PJ CLARKES LINCOLN SQUARE. Special shout out to Terrence, Diego and our charming waiter William who made us feel like family. Come experience a great night at this great location that offers great meals at reasonable prices!

This spot is one of the best places I’ve been to in a long time. The service was great, thanks to our server named Owen but the food was incredible. If I could give it a higher rating I would. I’ve been talking about it to ALL my friends and family, that’s how much I enjoyed it. I got the surf and turf. The stake came with a truffle but that was phenomenal, the lobster and shrimp had a cute tiny bowl of melt butter for every delicious bite and the mashed potatoes came in a roll of melted cheese that I thought was genius. We also ordered the street corn esquites and calamari that blew me away. My sister doesn’t even like corn and she found herself unable to resist. There was music but the atmosphere was low and quiet, which I found very calming. And everything was just perfect.

We had an amazing time dining at Rosa Mexicano! Everything was amazing especially the guacamole that’s made fresh right in front of you. The food was astounding and very flavorful along with the white sangria. Our server Jorge was very kind and helpful with what’s on the menu. We highly recommend dining at this restaurant. 2 thumbs up!!

The food and the service were excellent! I only gave this restaurant less than 5 stars because it seemed very noisy. It was difficult for my 78 yrs old ears to have a conversation with my wife stting across the table. My Chile Rellenos was delicious and very well presented. The Guacamole Classico was prepared at the table, in a large stone mortar and was wonderful, however, I was not able to watch the preparation as well as my wife could, because of the way we were seated at our reserved table, her back to the wall, my back to the waiter. The restroom was immaculate, but also very odd to this old country boy. There were (only) two stalls

It was my first time trying Mexican cuisine, 🇲🇽🌮and I feel lucky that I ended up here. The combination of flavors was truly extraordinary. 🤌🏼It was also amazing to watch the guacamole being made right in front of us — and it tasted absolutely delicious.🇲🇽 Everything I tried was very tasty, and the cocktails were fantastic as well. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is excellent.🥑 The place is also beautifully decorated — it feels almost like stepping into a fairy tale.✅ I highly recommend making a reservation before coming, because the restaurant gets busy every evening. If you want to experience real authentic Mexican flavors, this place is definitely worth visiting.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rosa Mexicano offers quality food and exceptional drinks in a vibrant atmosphere that’s perfect for gathering with friends before a night out. The menu is consistently delicious, the cocktails are outstanding, and the service makes the experience feel special from start to finish. An ideal pre-show spot for a superb meal and great conversation before heading to the theater.

This restaurant, led by a famous chef, truly delivers on all fronts. The menu is creative and well-executed, and the wine list is excellent. Service was impressively fast and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming, and the outdoor seating is just as inviting — comfortable, well-covered, and protected from bad weather. Don’t hesitate to reserve an outdoor table; it’s a great option. A top-notch dining experience all around.

We had dinner there with friends just before going to opera (it’s very conveniently located right by the opera house) We ordered beef tartar, pate, snails , salad with fennel and chocolate cake for desert. Service was very nice and attentive. Highly recommend , especially if you are looking for the place dinner before the opera.

Bar Boulud, although called a "casual bistro" by Chef Daniel Boulud, feels more like a fine dining spot. The atmosphere is elegant yet lively, with a welcoming vibe that avoids being too formal. Most of the guests are older (like me), but the mood is still relaxed and fun. We visited Bar Boulud before seeing Firebird at the New York City Ballet, which is right next door. It's a great location for those attending events at Lincoln Center, making it perfect for a pre-show meal or a post-performance drink to celebrate. The service here is top-notch—attentive and professional, but not stiff or overbearing. The menu features a variety of pâtés and terrines, along with classic French bistro dishes made with great skill and care. Some of our favorite dishes included: • La Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée: This French onion soup was incredible. The broth was rich and flavorful, with perfectly caramelized onions, lots of melted Gruyère cheese, and crispy baguette croutons. • Le Steak Frites: This classic dish was done perfectly. The steak was cooked just right, and the fries were crispy on the outside and tender inside. The Bordelaise sauce was a nice touch. • La Salade Niçoise: A fresh, light option to balance the other dishes. The seared tuna was excellent, and the salad had fresh veggies, olives, a perfectly cooked egg, and haricots verts, all tied together with a smooth aïoli. Overall, Bar Boulud is a wonderful place to enjoy a refined meal in a lively, relaxed setting. It's an especially great choice for anyone attending events at Lincoln Center. Be sure to make a reservation.

Amazing food, well presented and plenty of options at the decent prices. Ample indoor and outdoor seating and they have a good wine collection. Would recommend. We loved the chicken liver mousse (amazing flavor and it paired really well with the berry jam), the rainbow trout and the passion fruit cheesecake . The Frenchie burger, hazelnut ice cream, raspberry sorbet and winter salad were decent.
Alan Varghese - 3 years ago

We came here for the summer Restaurant Week for a birthday lunch, which I suspect is a slightly smaller portion than normal because I did feel a little hungry afterward. Everything was good though: - Pate was rich (wish I had more!) and complemented nicely by a well-dressed, albeit small, salad - escargots were good in the rich buttery sauce and came with good, crusty bread - trout was cooked perfectly - the Frenchie burger came out medium as asked but there was too much going on (strong cheese, saucy pork belly) and I wish I could taste the beef more; the fries were great though I liked the restaurant's light and airy atmosphere and it was pretty empty on a weekday. If I'm in the area for a concert I'll definitely stop by again.

We had a very relaxing early dinner at Lincoln Ristorante. A very good-looking and comfortable restaurant. We found the service and atmosphere to be very much to our liking. It was an excellent place to enjoy our meal prior to taking a short walk over to the David Geffen Hall for a performance of the New York Philharmonic. We started by ordering the Potato Torta, the Focaccia and the Olives with Almonds which were all terrific. Next came the Hamachi Crudo and the Pollo Arrosto which did not disappoint. Both were very appealing and flavorful. We finished the meal with the Olive Oil Cake and the Strawberry Rhubarb Crostata. We enjoyed both especially with the accompanying creamy ice creams.
Anthony Spicola - 2 months ago

Lincoln Ristorante deserves far more credit than it gets. From the freshly extruded pasta to the warm, flavorful focaccia, every dish felt thoughtfully executed. The fish came out perfectly crisp, and the desserts were just as memorable. We came here to celebrate a birthday, and the entire experience—from the food to the atmosphere—made it feel like a true occasion. Couldn’t have asked for a better night.
Ali Bakhsh - 3 months ago

Upscale restaurants can be overrated, but this place was worth the price. The portions are just the right amount and each course was delicious. Some nice views and nice atmosphere. The only thing that was kind of bugging me was the service being kind of slow to attend to our table, but other than that, it was a lovely experience.

Lincoln Ristorante has become one of those rare “known quantity” restaurants for me in New York. I’ve now been here several times, both before concerts and after performances, and across both the main dining room and the bar area, and the experience is remarkably consistent every single time. In a city where even very good restaurants can fluctuate wildly depending on the night, staffing, or sheer chaos of service, that level of consistency honestly deserves recognition. The food here is polished, thoughtful, and technically very well executed without feeling overly fussy. Pastas are properly handled with the kind of texture and restraint you would expect from a restaurant operating at this level, not drowned in sauce or overworked for theatrics. The kitchen understands balance well. Dishes arrive composed, clean, and elegant rather than trying too hard to chase trends. Cocktails are similarly reliable: balanced, properly diluted, and clearly made by a bar team that values precision over gimmicks. The setting also continues to work beautifully for its purpose. Whether you are looking for a civilized pre-show dinner at Lincoln Center or a quieter post-concert meal where you can decompress without screaming over nightclub acoustics, it fits the role extremely well. The room itself still feels sophisticated and timeless without becoming stiff. The reason I land at 4 stars instead of 5 is almost entirely service-related, though not in the catastrophic way reviews sometimes imply. I have never experienced rude service here, nor incompetence. The staff is professional, efficient, and the restaurant runs smoothly. But the overall service style leans noticeably impersonal and transactional. It can sometimes feel a bit like a very well-operated machine rather than true hospitality. To be clear, this personally does not bother me very much, especially in a city like New York where efficiency often matters more than performative warmth. But I do genuinely think this is the factor holding the restaurant back from substantially higher ratings overall. With just a little more warmth, engagement, and attentiveness to hospitality beyond mechanics, this place could very easily move from “very good and dependable” into genuinely memorable territory. Still, for polished Italian food in the Lincoln Center area with a strong kitchen, attractive room, dependable cocktails, and an experience that consistently delivers exactly what it promises, Lincoln Ristorante remains a place I continue returning to.

Delicious. Staff are excellent and friendly. We had scallops topped with clams, shrimp, and mussels. House made foccacia with truffle butter. And grilled asparagus. Yummy. The best part were the cocktails-- the Smokey Monk in particular. We walked from Central Park. It's close to the subway and next to Julliard at the Lincoln Center. It's a great before a show resturant. Thank you

The restaurant is 100% recommended. I had the opportunity to go 2 times and it was an incredible experience. Everything perfect including the place itself, very cozy and elegant, the customer service, the plates presentation and specially the quality of the food. Special congratulations to all the great staff and the chef Ryan which was so kind to go personally to our table and ensure everything was fine. I fully recommend and will go back again and again once I am back in Miami.
Marcos Vinícius Nakano - 7 months ago

Excellent presentation and execution in all the food. The baked goods were probably my favorite items and the cured salmon, which tasted heavenly. Surprisingly at the other end the barbecue meat tasted bland despite being cooked to perfect tenderness. It was hard to resist ordering the delicious looking orders for the table, but the prix fixe was plenty of food, even slightly too much. The service was good, friendly, though it seemed too busy at times.
Javier Kohen - 3 years ago

My first visit to Boulud Sud will not be my last. The food and drinks were exceptionally delicious. We chose the restaurant week menu to try it out, and each course was exciting. The Mediterranean flavors are evident in everything including cumin, citrus and sesame. The staff may have been slightly overattentive, but we were happy with the care. The interior is a welcoming open space with comfortable seating and a bar in front. I'm excited to return for the tasting menu. With delivery prices on mediocre food so expensive now, dining in on outstanding food is the antidote.
Darren Carter - 3 years ago

Went for an early dinner with a friend. The ambience was very relaxed, seems good for business dinners or family gatherings. The food was good, we enjoyed the Greek salad, thought the gazpacho lacked condiments as it was a bit flat but very much enjoyed our salmon. Our favorite dish was the grapefruit dessert, now that felt exotic! It’s hard to describe, see pictures but tastes amazingly fresh. Prices are very high. Service is very friendly.

Great experience at Cafe Fiorello! The service was great and the ambiance truly felt like an old school NYC Italian restaurant! We had the calamari appetizer which was fantastic. My husband had the Chicken Parmigiana allá Vodka which he enjoyed. My lasagna (pictured) was great…except there was way too much noodles around the edges. It’s creative and tasty the way they cook the lasagna, but around the edges it’s just multiple layers of noodles with no sauce or cheese or meat. I ended up eating the middle of the lasagna and left about half of the edges uneaten. Otherwise, great place to check out!

Their service is immaculate, the kind of old school red sauce joint that makes sure you are at home. We needed to eat a meal in forty five minutes and they prioritized us and cleaned for us so quickly. We got every dish (antipasti bar plus bread plus two pastas) in ten minutes. As for the food, the star was the garlic bread. Fluffy and buttery with a crunch on the outside and so soft on the inside, you could eat it with any drink or any side. My favorite antipasti was the eggplant caponata for it's soft salty vegetal depth. I was also a fan of the mushroom trifolati for its umami and light oil. The short rib meatballs were meaty with a good tomato sauce. The arancini was aite, same for the olives. From the pastas the rigatoni alla vodka had god heat and sweetness and the pasta was great and firm. Really good. The cacio e pepe was ok, too creamy and heavy for my tastes. My main complaint if there is one is the price of the drinks, with wine glasses being 19 to 27. But that's a minor issue in the area. It'd be my current favorite place near Lincoln Center. Go for the vibes, get a drink, mix a plate of antipasti, and enjoy a good version of New York.

Such a lovely Italian spot. I ordered the scallops risotto and it was absolutely delicious — the scallops were fresh, perfectly cooked, and paired so well with the creamy risotto. The outdoor seating made the whole experience even better and created such a nice atmosphere for dinner. For dessert, I had the homemade cheesecake topped with strawberries and warm chocolate sauce. Such an amazing combination that wasn’t overly sweet and was the perfect way to end the meal.
Chester Perez - a month ago

Cafe Fiorello delivered an excellent dining experience from start to finish. The service was polished, attentive, and welcoming, while the atmosphere felt upscale without being stuffy. The meatballs and calamari were solid starters, but the Rigatoni alla Vodka stole the show with great flavor and generous portions. The risotto and scallops were delicate, well executed, and delicious. The standout was the homemade garlic bread, which easily ranks among the best I’ve had. A perfect dinner spot near Lincoln Center.

From the outside you will never believe that the inside looks the way it does - 60s high end American-Italian place. Their food is exceptional. The vodka pizza was great. How on earth do they make such a thin pizza that can hold itself so well? That is one of their great enigmas. The pasta was equally great and so as the antipasti. Try the arancini, the potatoes with truffle, the Brussel sprouts. All were great. The restaurant is well maintained and is truly classic. What I loved the most was the name tags against each table where the regulars tend to sit. Quite an iconic place that is worth a visit over and over again.

This restaurant was really nice! They were so helpful with ordering dishes and everything was so tasty. The ambience is great too, amazing decor, definitely upscale. I only had to reheat my steak as it was kind of cold but everything else was lovely, the steak, the fish & sushi were all delicious. Great variety in the menu. They were out of the lobster unfortunately so I couldn’t try. The cocktails were so good too and the staff were so kind and accommodating. Would definitely come back with friends/for date night.

I had been wanting to try Atlantic Grill before hitting a show at Lincoln Center for a few months and finally made my way in before a show. The hostesses were accommodating and sat me right away but then I proceeded to wait almost 15 minutes before receiving any menus and a few minutes longer before my server finally checked in. Ended up getting the pre-theater pri fixe just in time before the cutoff and chose the subpar sushi roll, the penne that unfortunately came with a hair in it and vanilla ice cream dessert. The ambiance was Upper Eastside Manhattan with an older crowd you’d expect. Price points and ambiance were solid including a lively bar area where folks were also grabbing bites and drinks. Guess I should have “curbed my enthusiasm” a bit but I really had high hopes especially since it was moderately tough to get a resy locked in. Maybe just an off night….

This is my favorite restaurant near Lincoln Center. It’s always packed with stylish locals, mostly seniors, which adds to the charm and trust of the place. While dinner here is great, I had the pleasure of visiting for Sunday lunch with a special guest. As always, everything was delicious—from the fresh oysters and octopus carpaccio to the ravioli, paella, scallops, and dessert. The service was also impeccable. Once again, I was reminded that this is a restaurant that never disappoints, no matter when you visit.

This restaurant is the perfect dining option if you are attending a performance at The Lincoln Center. They ask you about it and always make sure you are on your way with plenty of time before curtain time. You will never feel rush. Fish and seafood are consistently fresh and juice. The wine selection is great. The restaurant is never crowded, the service impeccable, the noise leve incredible low for a NYC restaurant. It is a rather welcoming restaurant where customer are acknowledge and thanks for returning. Highly recomendad.

"A Friday night….Our servers; Nor & crew were “Top Notch” professionals, extremely friendly, fun & made great suggestions. The Langoustine topped with Caviar & Crème Brûlée were delectable. Noted a fabulous “Theatre Menu” in addition for future reference~ The atmosphere was elegance meets NYC; a mix of gorgeous crystal chandeliers, a painting of “Lincoln” on the brick, stylish booths, & soaring ceilings. Yum

El Mitote was such a great find! The food was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the exceptional customer service.

We went for early dinner and let me tell you, the frozen margaritas and the food were amazing!! Passionfruit was my favorite. I had a burrito and it was great. Also had chips and guac to share and it was really good as well. The restaurant was incredibly busy and the food and drinks were out really fast for the amount of customers. The chipotle sauce was out of this world!! The vibes and the music also good.

El Mitote serves up classic American-style Mexican food in generous portions. The shrimp burrito was fresh, flavorful, and loaded with ingredients, though a bit pricey at $23. The main letdown was the lack of chips with the meal

Had such a great time here! The vibe is sophisticated and still super warm and welcoming. The staff is amazing, and Joe, the owner, is always smiling and genuinely attentive, which makes a big difference. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious.

I’m sooo sad. I haven’t eaten here in quite a few years and always raved how good the food was. So was finally able to come back and was totally excited. walked in and were greeted by a most fabulous host ROBIN! A surprise burlesque performance was happening. We were sat in the dining room it was not busy -surprisingly- ordered our food and waited with great anticipation. The Caesar salad arrived and it was so sad. The lettuce was literally diced with a couple of croutons a few pieces of cheese and topped with raw anchovies. The salad was wilted and small. I expected a lot for $30. But this was TERRIBLE They should be ashamed offering that at that cost. Dinners came and they were no better. One dinner Drown in sauce and the other as hidden under salad. It has a piece of breaded chicken cutlet under all that arugula-No taste, bad presentation and small portions Truly a big disappointment. The food has taken a deep dive. $130 for 2 dinners and a salad. Did not have drinks or desserts. Wow. Overpriced ! The only saving grace was the show. They were delightful and entertaining. Do better On the food ! Thanks Robin for a great show. Keep high kicking!!!

Joanne was a Dream Come True! I never in my life imagine that I could finally be here and be this close to the essence of Lady Gaga outside her concerts and music. The staff is amazing! Caleigh and the others were so sweet and understood how overwhelming being here is. I was crying, i was all over the place and they agreed to take photos of a little monster who flew all the way from the Philippines to be here. Okay let’s talk about food THE TIRAMISU was served in a martini glass! Ahhh and the Pizza was a fidging RECTANGLE! Love and love! Perfetto! I think i met gaga’s dad but i was crying through my fogging glasses that I did not recognised him. Apologies. I brought a copy of Vogue Philippines magazine with a letter to Lady Gaga thanking her that it was because of her that I was able to chase my dream to become a fashion designer and now I am in Vogue Philippines. I wish I could Vanish into this place, but till that time happens. I am counting the days. I will be back. Thank you for the lovely time.

A little over a week ago, I visited Joanne’s for the third time on a trip to NYC with my (now!) Fiancé. As a huge Lady Gaga fan, this restaurant is a staple for us. I’ll admit, the first time we visited a few years ago the food was not our favorite but we kept going back because it became a tradition. This time around, when our food hit the table it was COMPLETELY different than the last time we came and it was AMAZING! The presentation was more polished, the food was visually appealing, and it tasted COMPLETELY different and so so so so good. At the end of our meal, we ordered the cheesecake for dessert and little did I know that my fiancé was proposing to me! Apparently she had been planning this for months, and I was so in shock and surprised and filled with so much joy and love. The staff at Joanne’s really made this the best experience and night of my life. Our waitress, Shaila, was one of the best servers I have ever had and was incredibly sweet. She made the night so so special and I will remeber it for the rest of my life. She had been communicating with my fiancé for a while beforehand to plan everything and she gave us the best experience. The bartender, César, was also in on everything and was so sweet and accommodating and made us feel so welcome and so special. I can’t say enough about what this restaurant, the staff, and the entire vision of Joanne’s means to me. I recommend this place to any and everyone who may find themselves in the NYC area and I commend the business for being so professional and incredibly welcoming. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made this night possible and has us both reminiscing on one of the best dining experiences of our lives :)

"I was absolutely impressed by the transparent roof at the back of the shop. It honestly made me feel like I was sitting in a house right in the heart of New York City. The cocktails were so refreshing, and the food portions were generous and beautifully presented. What impressed me the most, though, was the wonderful staff—they were so polite, sweet, and welcoming. The singer was incredibly friendly, and the manager was so cool! This is my very first time visiting New York, and this place gave me such a beautiful memory."
