Very busy spot. Food was good as was service. We had lunch/brunch. Was particularly interested in the jalapeño cheddar grits. They definitely had a hint of smoky pepper taste, but were a little gummy. Snap pea salad was very good and shrimp were cooked well. Burger was good and fries were nice and crispy. Overall a solid restaurant with a large menu. Will definitely return to try some more items.

Wow, wow, wow. A friend steered us here for lunch. We had no idea what kind of restaurant it was, and though it looked nice, there was nothing indicating that the food would be great. Yet it was. The tomato soup was very good. The fried calamari was light and crispy, and the addition of sesame was a flash of genius. Really wonderful. The arrancini with truffle were absolutely the best we have ever had. Very large restaurant, nice ambiance, good service. Great for a wonderful lunch.

This spot has plenty of seating options for everyone (indoors and outdoors). It’s the perfect place to grab a bite after strolling through Central Park. The staff here are super attentive, making sure you have everything you need for a fantastic meal. Sure, it can get pretty busy sometimes, but that just shows how popular it is! And let me tell you, everything on the menu is tasty, but the mac & cheese? Amazingly good! And don’t worry about bringing cash, they accept credit cards too. So next time you’re in the area, make sure to stop by and treat yourself to some delicious food!

We loved the place. The food was good, on time! We made a reservation for brunch 45 mins before. Its easier… the waiting time by just walking in looks long. We order a spicy salmon tartare that was so crunchy and tasty; I algo got a Matcha latte that was rich and perfect temperature. For main course I order a Kale quinoa salad that was really good too. The chips with blue cheese on top were also really good! Definitely a good place for brunch.

Easiest place to go if seeing a show over at Lincoln Center. Lots of space - a basement level with equal service (bartenders down there are excellent) and it’s fast. Can be pricey. They oysters, at least, were $4 a pop. Oy! They make excellent drinks.

Stopped here to eat a few weeks ago before going to see Shen Yun. We ordered our food including Calamari for an appetizer & side of onion rings. Our food came out but we never got the Calamari or the onion rings. A new waiter came over & we told him we never received the other items. He apologized & checked our order & it was never put in by the previous waitress, who was now off, since they were in between shift changes. We told him it was okay but we now didn’t want it. A few minutes later the GM Kairsten Nunn came over with our onion rings & said the calamari was also coming out. She apologized gave us the items on the house & was extremely professional. She even came back again to check on us to make sure we were ok & gave use her card for a free app on our return visit.The food was also great. Great food & great service. Thank you Kairsten. We will definitely be back again.

30min wait for a table which was not bad for a busy day. The space was a tad crowded. Our waitress was nice but everything took a very long time, taking the orders and bringing the food and drinks. The food is very good. My husband realized his glass was cracked all the way down and he Informed the waitress and normally at a good restaurant the entire drink would be exchanged, here the drink was transferred, so watered downed and maneuvered which was not expected of a good restaurant, expected better service and protocols for that scenario.

Very nice restaurant, hyper friendly service, and a good menu. There are several raw dishes, including a nice variety of oysters. Price are normal for a NY restaurant (expensive, but no more than others). I enjoyed a really good meal here, with a Clarke's Burger. It's been a while since I tasted the pure meat and simple ingredients that made hamburgers famous. No bacon, cheese, caramelized onions. Just the basics. And the cheesecake ... A real New York one! It was a great experience, recommended.

Really a 2.5 but the atmosphere is cool enough so we'll round up. Place is just "ok." My service was fine. Food was less stellar. Like so many other reviews have mentioned, it not much for the price. Don't expect to get a sizable portion at all. I'm sure there is a "Lincoln Square" surcharge here because the prices just don't add up. The chicken pot pie (pictured) is rather basic. Mine was hot and not just warm tho. It was smallish and taste wise, it was... Fine. The scallops was ordered by someone else at the table and that was a little better but quiet underwhelming as far as amount and still just fine on the taste-o-meter. Somebody else had the BBQ burger with fries. Fries weren't bad tho. This IS NOT a place you come out the way to. You just might even consider passing this place up leaving out of a show at Lincoln Square to be honest. But if you came, you won't be impressed and probably not let down but there is a possibility you could be.

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.

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

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!

We made an unexpected visit to Bar Bolud who were immediately able to accommodate our party of three; lucky us! I thought that the location, space and service were great and I found the food tasty. I particularly enjoyed my Parisian Love cocktail. All the wait staff were excellent. I would recommend it.

The charcuterie tray was one of a kind. My items made by the chef. Octopus was made to perfection. Coq au vin was also very good and a modernized version very nice flavors. Desert was different cheesecake diplomat was very good

Went here “by accident” a few months ago and have been coming back on purpose ever since. The atmosphere and the food are amazing. The Frenchie burger is my all time favorite burger. If going for brunch on Sunday, make reservations first.
Brenda Cardenas - 2 months ago

Tables were a bit dirty… the food was ok was very expensive for the portions (not American sizes lol). The service was ok; their terrace area is really lovely in the sunshine but it became very hot very quickly 😂 (Pictured: burger was $25 and (half) the quiche ($17)) If you want a cheaper meal (eg salad boxes) the épicerie (also Boulod) is much more affordable, but more of a bar/stool situation.

Excellent service and delicious food. The wine list is extensive and can get very pricey. The Gelato al cioccolato was delicious! We all enjoyed our meals and it was very convenient being next to the Metropolitan Opera.

Not quite as good as it should be given the prices but the perfect pre-opera location. Himachi was incredibly skimpy but tasty. Salad was very good but not super fresh. Excellent service and atmosphere. It’s tough to find a good place near Lincoln Center…. Recent visit the food was incredibly oversalted so bad got salt shock and had to leave theater at intermission. The waiter did not know what al dente meant (and guessed wrong). But worst was overhearing some angry waiter (or bartender!) say “damn customers” loud enough we could hear. Won’t be back. Came back a year later - the pastas were excellent and so was the dessert. The restaurant did a shockingly bad no-no though - gave us a bill, and then we give them the card and when they give it back to us to sign they add a glass of wine -?! Cost them a star….

Biggest bang for the buck, for Michelin worthy food, but not yet a star. Every single dish we ordered was just absolutely delectable.

We booked this restaurant due to its convenient location, as we had a show at the Lincoln Center right after dinner. It’s on the same block and only a couple hundred feet away from the doors of the theater. When we checked in, we were asked if we were trying to make a particular show time so they could try to accommodate that as best as possible. We allowed 2.5 hours when choosing our reservation time so it wasn’t an issue, but this would be a very welcome part of the experience for those who might be running on a tighter timeline. As it turned out, we had an extra hour to spare after we left the restaurant. With this extra time before our show, we took a stroll down to Venchi, a chocolatier and gelato establishment about 4 blocks away that I highly recommend. I had the wagyu strip loin, which was served with a very tasty green peppercorn sugo and potato cakes. They don’t have a kids menu per se, but they had options readily available. My 7 year-old son ended up going with the butter and cheese pasta. I definitely recommend this for a wonderful upscale pre-show dining spot.

The front of the house staff were very accommodating with my reservation time request. The young lady waiting for my table was excellent. The staff were very welcoming. Flavors for the food could use some improvement, the Moroccan Chicken was very good but the citrus flavors were too strong for my liking. For dessert I selected the Grapefruit Givré, I enjoyed part of the dessert but not all of them. I regret picking this option, but your experience will vary.

We dined here during restaurant week. The restaurant features an open dining room with a bar and an open kitchen. Great airy atmosphere. The service was outstanding! We had the restaurant week 3-course menu and it was one of the most delicious three course meals that we had in a long time. Our party had one person with special dietary needs and they accommodated this so well. We can’t wait to come back and taste options from the regular menu!
J. Ochs - 10 months ago

Beautiful restaurant for upscale Mediterranean food. We got the mezze platter which had delicious babagnoush and falafel (a bit salty though). Lamb flatbread was ok and so was the duck. The sea bass pleasantly surprised us! Overall great service and atmosphere!

Dined at Boulud Sud prior to a show at Lincoln Center. The bread, lemon saffron pasta and sorbets are excellent. I am familiar with the flavor profile of Tagine chicken and other than the skin not being crisp there was nothing truly wrong about it. I just would not order it again. The highlight was the Hawaiian prawn special which was so delicious. The service is outstanding.
Stacey Quandt - 11 months 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 bakery in a beautiful location, just two blocks away from Central Park! I have had a couple of their items throughout my time in the city, but I really enjoy the banana pudding! I think the banana pudding is one thing that shouldn't be missed when in NYC!
Chris Rodriguez - a week ago

A bakery famous for its banana pudding, we had tried banana pudding before and it was good. It has a taste quite different from Magnolia’s in Turkey. Today, we tried cupcakes and cheesecake. Red velvet cake is famous here, but I wouldn’t say I loved it, it’s okay. We liked the lemon-flavored cupcake. In summary, it’s a taste that can be liked, but the treats are really high in sugar content. I think it’s worth trying, but eating them constantly might not be a good idea.
Mel Demir - 2 months ago

In a word, superb. Let's just start with the fact that everything they make doesn't stay on the shelf very long. The turnover because of sheer volume of customers is endless, which means what you get is fresh and superbly delicious. Everything I tried was finger licking amazing. The negative, the place doesn't look kept. They should do a better job on appearance for sure.
Berele - 2 months ago

Matcha latte newly added to the menu. $5.50/ large matcha latte (before tax). The pistachio cupcake looks delicious. I’ve had the banana pudding and I think it’s delicious albeit overpriced. I find the way it’s packaged and consumed very pleasing, the fact that you spoon it out of a pint.
Céline BODART - 2 months ago

What a disappointment! It seems like life is moving forward, but they went backwards and are just milking the brand, which used to be the sweetheart for those in NYC who have a sweet tooth like I do. I used to go to the original Magnolia location in village and stand in the line for an hour to get their amazing pastries and puddings back in early 2000. For the sake of old days, I tried their banana pudding and chocolate muffin. The muffin was bad, it was old and dry, the frosting was questionable. The banana pudding was still good but nothing special whatsoever. Step up your game!

We popped in on a recommendation of a friend. SUCH a win! Every staff member we encountered was cheerful, so happy to greet or serve us. Our darling waitstaff, Amanda, was undaunted by our many questions and enthusiastically recommended several things. She was spot on with each one. The portions were beyond our ability to finish. Pity. Desserts looked intriguing. My husband chose breaded chicken piccata…and still took nearly half in a carry out. My three veg choices from the antipasto bar were each standouts in their own right, marvelously conceived and perfectly cooked. I could not choose a favorite. What a great time. I will take this experience as a great New York meal.

People come to New York to try a slice of Pizza, I just came here and found my favourite slice of Lasagna! LOL! That was amazing, also we ordered Pepperoni Pizza and Bruschetta which we liked. It has a good atmosphere and the staff are nice.I hope to come back soon to New York and enjoy another night with my friends at Cafe Fiorello.

Momma Mia. This place is amazing. Bustling restaurant, very well run. We ate outside and it was very comfortable, they decorated the outdoor area with chandeliers and had small fans placed strategically all over. The staff was helpful and very attentive. The inside was amazing... Food was being prepared in view and on glorious display. My eyes wanted everything! Our party ordered the gorgonzola bread which was off the chart...chabbata bread stuffed with browned onions topped with a dollop of creamy gorgonzola. Yum. We also got the vegetable plate which allows you to choose 3-5 grilled veggies... All delicious. The chicken Parm was a pounded filet, topped with sauce and cheese... Very good. The short rib meatballs are a must... And this is coming from someone who sent back a family recipe at another place. Ouch. I got the shrimp over cannelloni beans which was amazing. But the show stopper was the lasagna... Which was deconstructed... One large noodle filled/topped with shredded meat, cheese and sauce... We all dug into that and still couldn't finish it. We can't wait to return to this place. Well worth the trip to the city for this experience. Mangia!

My second visit of Cafe Fiorello. Still, it was as good or even better than my last meal here. Their innovative open lasagne, featuring meatballs, ribs, and burrata cheese, was an absolute delight. The tomato sauce added a refreshing lightness to the dish, making it less dense and incredibly flavorful. The portion sizes were impressively generous, perfect for sharing with a group of friends. As for brunch, their French toast was a guilty pleasure like no other. The chocolate toast adorned with roasted walnuts, raisins, and fresh strawberries left me feeling completely satisfied. I can’t wait to revisit Cafe Fiorello whenever I’m in the vicinity of the Lincoln Center. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delicious and fulfilling dining experience!
Yu-Han Chen - 2 months ago

Food 7/10 Typical American fare. Solid burrata and prosciutto, the tiramisu was actual quite gas and that surprised me in a good way. The rigatoni alla vodka was very standard, and the antipasto were fine too. Nothing too standout but nothing was made poorly. Atmosphere 6/10 Kind of tacky Valentine's decor and whatnot, but the location is great and easy if you’re headed to Lincoln Center. Service 6/10 A little slow.

Embarking on a return to Atlantic Grill after a prolonged absence, reminiscing on past indulgences at the esteemed BR Guest Restaurants, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the subtle evolution of offerings in response to the ever-changing culinary landscape. Noteworthy was the expanded array of sushi rolls, a delightful departure from the previous limited selection. Curating a truly memorable soirée to celebrate the occasion of my companion's birthday further amplified the evening's enchantment. The impeccable service and the meticulously curated ambiance served as the perfect backdrop to our jubilant festivities. Each moment savored was drenched in a resplendent harmony of flavors and congeniality, making the evening truly unforgettable.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here at Atlantic Grill, and I must say the food was amazing!! The Halibut was soooo good!!! We also had an outstanding waitress, her name was Marjorie. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. She was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. She had a good knowledge of the menu and provided thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Thank you, Marjorie for making our visit memorable! We will definitely be back!!! I would love to try something else from the menu but if I must be honest I will probably take the halibut fish again!!!
Paulina Skulimowski - a week ago

Went here before the opera—very nice. Enjoyed a pre-show preset menu for some in our party. The service was on point! The food, a bit lack luster however. Sushi was mediocre, pizza was good (but soggy in the middle), appetizers may have been the best part of the menu for our group. Very convenient to Lincoln Center!
Caroline McGlade - 2 weeks ago

Nice restaurant close to Lincoln Center. Food was only okay considering the price. Not sure why their bread is so soft, almost like regular multigrain bread slices since the seaweed(?) butter is hard and difficult to spread. Some of our clams and mussels had an unfresh taste to it… the sushi was good. Duck confit salad was fine but the duck was tough and most of the salad was just cranberries. However, the customer service was subpar considering the price and style of the entire restaurant. It took a long time to have anyone attend to us throughout dinner despite seeing many idle waiters.

We had a fabulous experience at The Leopard for my husband’s birthday. One of our group of four was delayed about 20 minutes due to a flight issue, yet we were promptly seated without him so that he could join us when the flight issue was resolved. We appreciated being seated despite our party not being complete! The night we went, there was some kind of private event going on so we had to sit outside. However, the outdoor seating was lovely - the best outdoor dining experience I’ve had yet in the city! It was a warm evening and yet the mosquitoes didn’t bite me to death, and the turf grass was a really nice touch. Our server was incredible. She was a true professional. She had excellent recommendations and she also sent over an excellent sommelier when we were deciding on wine. The wine was fantastic - a smoky, earthy French wine that I don’t recall the name of (forgot to snap a pic of the bottle 🤦‍♀️) and the sommelier steered us in a perfect direction. While the pre-dinner cocktails and dishes themselves came out slowly due to the private event, the staff was very accommodating and expressed their apologies. The food really made everything perfect. For dessert, everyone got something sweet except for me — I had their cheese plate. Highly recommend. Definitely recommend going here for a special event! And you need a reservation! All in all, it was lovely.

Our reviews had over 37 million views last year. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love The Leopard at Des Artistes. Love it This is a great place to eat. The building used to be a hotel for artists but now is a high end condo bldg. The Resturant was run by the artists for years, but now is run by a very high end group. First class room, first class service and the food is out of this world. Started with the marinated anchovies that were bright but not too strong. Just right. Love the meatballs app and the black truffle custard with asparagus. Both are must haves. I had the spaghetti carbonara which had just the right amount of sauce and huge chunks of homemade bacon. Really good. She had the old family Lasagna recipe which was full of flavor and great texture. We had many desserts. One of the best was prepared tableside. It is a custard poured over fruit. I do not know the name but it was really good. It was a beautiful evening and we will be back again for sure. LOVED IT. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 36 million views so far this year and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and FUN.

Enjoyed a prix fixe menu during restaurant week. It's a cozy, relatively small, culinary joint with a rustic theme. Only half way into the dinner, did I notice their murals along the wall, which I believe they are also known for. The food was very good and I was satisfied with the portion size. Service was impeccable. I'm not cultured enough to understand the concept of a coat check. Therefore, I was glad to find out their coat check was optional. Overall a fine dining experience.
Ricky Long - 7 years ago

I'm rating this relative to other restaurants of this price and genre. For the price. The food was incredibly mediocre. The service was somewhat laughable, they have a ton of people and though my water was frequently filled up, a person who said they were, my server disappeared until the maitre d came and filled in. The space is beautiful. It's the former Cafe des artiste. It's loud however, and they cram a lot of people into small tables.
