NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Lexington Avenue - 63 Street Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

From the second you walk in, the experience begins. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I think I got 10 good evenings on the way to my table. The restaurant is beautiful and so elegant. Service was impeccable! I ordered the 9-course tasting menu and it was incredible. The entire evening was truly amazing and the staff was perfection. I was also given a tour of the kitchen which was so impressive to see everyone in action. I made one last stop at the bar and had a wonderful drink. Incredible evening in NYC!

The whole experience was phenomenal - starting from very warm welcome, ambience, service and especially the food. The tasting menu options were all encompassing with their best dishes and we really loved all of them. The desert experience was out of the world! Lastly we would like to note a special mention for Javier (captain for our section) - he made sure we had the best experience on a special day including a kitchen tour! Overall totally loved the Michelin 2 experience at Daniel’s and we would highly recommend it.

This past Sunday I had the great pleasure of dining at Daniel with great friends in celebration of my birthday. We had the four course tasting menu and we were stuffed. They had several extra little nibbles come out in addition to the ordered courses which was really great. The food was presented creatively and was delicious. The flavors were well balanced and the menu offered a broad range of choices. The drinks were presented beautifully and were equally delicious. The service was outstanding and what I expected at a Michelin star restaurant. It really makes a big difference to be taken care of with such care. This was the perfect restaurant to bring in a special birthday or other occasion. Thank you to the team at Daniel for making it very special and I’ll be happy to come back.

This had to have been one of the best dining experiences in my life. I have eaten at so many Michelin restaurants around the world and the service at this place was absolutely outstanding. A 200/10 rating in terms of service. our waiter (Matthew who is now a Maitre D there!) had been working there for many years, gave fantastic suggestions on what to order, helped us figure out if we want a whole bottle of wine what type of wine, and how much of it we should order in conjunction with our meal. What really pushed the service over the top was that everything was perfectly organized, and our waiter went to the back room to even ask if they had extra leftover pastries for us as they had some freshly baked ones earlier that day. We left this restaurant so ridiculously fooled because of all the free dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The interior was beautiful. We got a great side table where we could people watch and enjoy, the wine was superb. 100% would go back again and definitely recommend. I even felt that the price was actually quite fair considering the ingredient quality and amount of food you get 10 out of 10 place. Update 2024: we returned and were served by Matthew and Jorge, service, food and ambiance still exceptional. Will definitely return as usual!

Came here with my girl for our anniversary dinner and I was excited to come here given its reputation and not to mention, their two Michelin stars! We were both blown away by how they treated us like royalty every step of the way and how attentive and detailed they are with every dish; staff was also very personable and friendly! Really enjoyed every bite, and we were too full at the end to finish off the dessert but really loved how they catered to us! By far my favorite Michelin restaurant, thank you from another Daniel!

From the moment I sat down, I felt uncomfortable, but I thought perhaps it was me being bourgeoisie (I frequent a lot of upscale places in the city). Then, not only did I watch the bartenders have conversations with everyone around me and make me feel invisible, food took forever to come, and I was POISONED! By the time my dessert came, I was too sick to enjoy it 😮‍💨 I ordered the very mediocre Crab cakes and had to be walked to get in my car due to being ill. Spend my weekend sick and ended up in the hospital. Dizziness, nausea, irregular breathing... you name it. I don't recommend it for people of color especially.👎🏽 Out of over a thousand reviews I left on Google, I never had to leave one like this and hate having to do it, but never experienced this in NYC ever and I'm a native Manhattan resident!

Absolutely loved the service first off Stefan! Three egg omelette was awesome, I also opted for salmon to be included. Belgian waffle and the breakfast sandwich are great choice’s as well.

I was really excited to go here because I am a big Housewives of New York fan and they always go here in the show. We sat at the bar and had a couple drinks that were ridiculously expensive. Like, comical. Decided not to get food because the vibe was just off. The patrons around us were insufferable. I finally worked the nerve up to ask the bartender if the housewives still come around and I could tell he was NOT happy to be asked that question. Like geez my bad dude, at least feign some interest. Glad I went just to say I did it but I would not go back. Ended up getting dinner at Carnegie Diner and it was fab.

Good addition to an East side restaurant wasteland... Very pleasant and more casual remake of the hotel's restaurant that we remember well. Nice bar menu of sliders, French fries, snacks. Serve complimentary nuts and popcorn with very good cocktails, done with a fun summer tropical twist. Yummy steaks and grilled fish. Large chef's salad was tasty and fresh. Indulged in cheese cake, chocolate ganache and a heavenly lemon tart among many good desserts!

Fine dining at its best. I have been to several of Chef Boulud restaurants in NY. I really enjoyed the 63rd St venue. Yes, the portions are on the small side but every dish was executed with great eye on detail. Just look at the foie gras place. A work of art. And the signature Black Sea bass wrapped in crispy potatoes was amazing. The service was very attentive.

We have been looking forward to come here and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious, there are 4 different menus, one of them vegetarian, and you can mix and match among them which is great. We had the 3 course dinner, portion sizes are just right (not tiny or large), and wine selection is also really good. Attentive staff, relaxed and intime atmosphere. My only critic is that dinner ends very early, our table was at 8.30pm and around 10pm the restaurant start getting empty and it feels like there is more staff than clients. Other than that totally recommended!
Roxana Perez Pineiro - a month ago

Foods were very good but the service was subpar for a Boulud restaurant. They crammed 3 of us into a 2-person table, so I thought maybe it’s fully booked but mid way through the meal on my way to go outside to take a call, I saw many smaller parties were assigned more spacious tables. Waiters lost track of who ordered what and kept putting wrong dishes in front of us. Glasses sat empty for a long time, nobody asked if we needed more drinks, until a dining companion flagged down a waiter to order more. A diner next table dropped a fork, someone picked it up, another came back to our table with a knife.

The environment is modern, elegant and inviting for good conversations. I recommend making reservations on Sundays for Brunch. The food was divine, we ordered The VELOUTÉ AUX CHAMPIGNONS, which for me was the star of the brunch, was wonderful. We ordered a burger, truffled croque monsieur and pancakes, everything was as I expected, very tasty. I have a small reservation with the Steak Tartar, I had to ask for salt and pepper and mix the egg yolk, which made my dish ugly and I wish there was something crunchy to go with it, bread or yuca chips. However, the taste was amazing. The dessert was divine, highly recommended to try something made with delicacy and lots of flavor. I missed the sweet wine, Sauternes. The service was excellent, as expected from a restaurant like this. Now I have my preferred Brunch in NYC.

Wonderful experience at Tony’s. Came with a pretty of 12 for my daughter’s graduation. Kind of a high end upscale version of Carmine’s in Times Square. I choose this over that. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was pretty good, especially the rigatoni. And the dessert was great. Forgot to take pics of all the foods cuz I was so hungry.

Located in the Upper East Side, this Restaurant offers Italian Specialties in very generous portions at very reasonable prices that allow sharing among family members. The Veal Parmigiana was very tasty and splendid, and so were the Salads. Service was outstanding. Nice option!

Excellent dinner! We came here to celebrate our daughter’s 15th birthday, with a group of 9! We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress Jordan, made our dinner extra special! She was so attentive, personable and informative… by the end of the night she felt more as a friend than a waitress! Food was exceptional and night was topped off with a group singing happy birthday and an amazing chocolate cake!! Overall, a must place to visit.

The pasta is the best one I have ever eaten in MY LIFE. It is even better than the ones I ate in Italy. But I cant say same with the chicken. It is not bad not good either.

All of food is way too good that I had to over rate more than what we experienced. BUT, I must say that verbal menu must be written with each price. All most $200 for fish over $100 for pasta are TOO MUCH. Also the system of waiters must be improved. He was asking what drinks to order 4 times to me while my friend is in a restroom. No rulls at all!

Food was good. Bolognese was little bit salty. But still good. size and grounded meat sauce are generous. Also they offer complimentary small appetizers. I liked Dover sole. Since Dover sole is my favorite fish, I have been tried Dover sole at many restaurants in NYC. The way it’a cooked is simple since I ordered plain one. It was great. It’s more difficult to cook delicious food with simple cooking method or no sauce .because there is no way to fake it. In this respect, Dover sole was great! And I expected to be higher price since many reviews complain about over price. Well.. price was fine ,compared to other restaurants in NYC. At least here , taste is good. There are countless restaurants in nyc pasta is $ 40 , but tastes terrible. And white truffles are fancy ingredients itself. Not surprising charge $100. (I did not order, i saw from the menu). And dover sole was $98. And .. dover sole is commonly over $80 ,easily go up over $ 100 anywhere in nyc . Issue is the service. They are friendly. However The way of manner is not refined . Too rush , no apologies for interrupting our conversation . Extremely obsessed with taking dirty plate away. I think they believe taking plates away is the most important role as a server. Service did not match for price. But again, food is good!

I felt like a Times Square tourist… And not in a good way-The quality of the food was very good, but that is the only real positive I have for Scalitenella. where to start? should I start at the end when I received a phone call from the restaurant at 11:45 PM(!) accusing me of leaving without paying my bill. Here’s how it unfolded: 1. THE RESERVATION - reservation was for 7:30 PM but not seated until 8:30 PM. The restaurant is small and very full. Kudos to them but wasn’t great for us. 2. THE BAR WAIT - we were asked to wait at the bar, which is quite small, we were a party of three, and there was one chair available. So we squeezed in and took the one chair and two of us stood for an hour. The entire time we were there an older gentleman was giving us the stink eye. because he felt he was there before us when the hostess asked us to sit there. …at this point, things are still salvageable BUT THEN, 3. we are finally seated and instantly affronted with a very busy waiter, who proceeds to give us 3 very paltry menus, and then rattles off probably 30 “specials“ but as he’s rattling off all those specials, he’s NOT rattling off the prices - no clue on pricing 4. tried to order appetizers (since we were seated an hour later than we had anticipated, the couple I was with was hungry) but i was told, as the waiter huffed off “not placing any orders until you order your entrée”. 6. later a busboy whisked away my friends appetizer plate and fork out of her hand. She was not done eating. 7. we asked for our leftovers to go, but the beef carpaccio that was left (1/2 of the order) didn’t manage to make it into the box with the leftover pasta. 8. in the end, we had three appetizers, two entrées, a glass of champagne, a martini, a glass of wine, a port, and two desserts. 9. The bill with tip came to $420+/- which I paid with my AMEX at 10:22 PM, and which I also retained a customer copy receipt of thankfully. so imagine my surprise… 10. ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING - when at 11:45PM I get a phone call accusing me of leaving without paying my bill. I did have two martinis so in the back of my head I’m thinking anything is possible… So I checked my Amex card and sure enough it showed the charge pending and I had a copy of my receipt that was printed out from the processing machine. I called the restaurant back and explained the situation and they said they would check into it and then they called ME back and told me I paid the WRONG bill….In a way that made it sound like it was my fault that I paid the wrong Bill, not that they gave me the wrong bill and i paid it accordingly. (My bill was actually $60 less than the bill I paid). I was asked to come back in so that they could credit the wrong Bill an recharge me the correct amount. I told them I would be in the next day, they wanted to know what time and I said I didn’t know. The next day a woman called me and asked me what time I would be in or if they could take my credit card information over the phone…at This point I am not comfortable giving my credit card information to the restaurant over the phone so I told her I would be in later; the woman aggressively asked me if I could be in “now” and I told her no I was working and she said can you be in within an hour and I said no I’m working and she said “when can you be in” and I said between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock. none of this exchange is friendly or apologetic on the Restaurants part. I did get to the restaurant later that afternoon, and they did process the credit for the $60…i received a hug for my troubles but even that felt disingenuous. I was hoping for a neighborhood, Italian restaurant experience at a high end, but I ended up walking away, feeling like a Timesquare tourist to be taken advantage of. I would not go back, nor would I recommend dining at this restaurant. I understand that they were left with one ticket unpaid, but who calls a customer at 11:45 at night to accuse them of not paying their bill without making sure it isn’t their mistake first - 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything is good. I wish they would sit us in the upper floor. It is a good restaurant but more on the casual side. The dishes are in the pricey side. I expected a bit more from a Jean-George restaurant and from that price range. I ordered a salmon dish which is their special for Friday night. I think the dish is not good at all. It is like home cook dish.

The tuna tartar is amazing! We didn’t get the photo but it was the best one we had! Its a bit spicy but we love it so much. The pancake batter is also amazing. I really love the texture. The burger is also great but we the lobster are not as amazing for us. The place is very chic and nice. Overall it was a nice place for brunch and we would defenitly come back for the tuna tartar. The service is also great and very responsive

Very polite staff. They were kind to accept us despite being late with 30min. The vibe and interior was very calm and luxurious, pleasant to the eyes with warm colors. The food was delicious. I highly recommend their lamb and beef tenderloin. The tuna tartar is good, too, but a bit spicy for me.

The place is very cute, it is set up in a tounhouse and has 2 levels. We went there for brunch and shared warm shrimp salad which is amazing and eggs benedict which were ok not really memorable. For desert we got a carrot cake it was very good, highlight of the meal.

My wife wanted to take me some place special for my birthday. Jo Jo is definitely special. You have probably walked by this restaurant several and wondered what it was like. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly staff. The restaurant decor is very nice. Once we were seated our waiter Alex introduced himself. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. I started the meal with the Warm Shrimp Salad, Tender Greens, Avocado, Tomato, Champagne Beurre Blanc and my wife had the Roasted Baby Beets, Goat Cheese, Aged Balsamic Vinegar. They both were exceptional. We than ordered the Crispy Skin Organic Chicken, Lemon and Olive Oil Potatoes, Fried Onions and Potato Skins and Roasted Black Sea Bass, Carrots, Lemon-Leek Emulsion and yes they were exceptional as well. Of course we had to have dessert which was Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting (enough for 2) and the Puff Pastry Rhubarb Tart, Marzipan Ice Cream. Both were a great way to end a very good birthday day dinner.

We were here for restaurant week. The start to the night was great with some delicious lobster dumplings (although I could barely taste any lobster) and fried calamari. Both dishes were prepared well. We had similar expectation from our entree but it was a huge let down. We ordered the mushroom raviolis and scallops. As you will see from the pictures, half of the raviolis were either burst or not filled and the plate had pasta water. The scallops had no sear, the peppers and corn were just steamed and thrown on the plate with no seasoning. Of the two sad mushrooms that came with the scallops, one was burnt to a crisp. When I asked the waiter if that’s how it’s supposed to be prepared he said “yes”. I ate one scallop that was slightly seared. My partner took a bite out of one of the unseared ones. After that I left my plate untouched. Seeing that the waiter came back and asked to take my plate away and see “what had happened”. When my plate came back there was one scallop seared on one side and white on the other so it was obviously not cooked in the middle. We finished with key lime pie and molten lava cake. Again there was no care or thought put. The key lime pie was put haphazardly so half of it collapsed and the base was broken. It must have stayed out for quite a bit because the ice cream was melting when it arrived at the table. All in all an extremely disappointing experience.

Good tasty pizza. I do recommend if you're hungry and need a quick bite. Slices are large. Nice selection of toppings. The dough was a bit too thick, which made it taste a little raw. Thank you to all the workers. It is so hot in there, my brain almost melted.
Lena P - 9 months ago

Not exactly the original ray's, but with is infamous name, they sling decent pies like most other pizza shops in the city. I've stopped in here several times for a slice. It's pretty close to quintessential nyc pizza. I appreciate that they go beyond just plain and pepperoni. Garlic knots are pretty good too. Nice enough guys behind the counter and any slice is good as long as you ensure it hasn't sat there for too long. I've had a miss or two. The oven reheat can only do so much.

Ray's Pizza has solidified its place as my favorite pizzeria in the Upper East Side. Their pizza and pasta dishes are unparalleled in taste and quality. With every visit, I'm treated to a culinary experience that leaves me craving more. If you're in the area and craving authentic Italian cuisine, Ray's is the place to be.

In a city of exceptional pizza, this was average. Decent price, good size, if you're walking by it's perfectly fine to stop and grab a slice, it's not a destination pizza.

The food was good. I tried the Sunny bowl and was surprised at first by the presentation and second by the flavor. Everything worked so well together and each bite just got better and better. They have nice things in the menu for kids and adults. I would love to bring my kids to try the mini pancakes. They definitely looked amazing.

Last time I came here on my 2nd visit I had a chocolate muffin with a medium coffee which was also delicious!!. Service is fast as well!. Oh yeah the hot chocolate Definitely goes well with the French cream donut!!

I purchased only French donut ( a large bun with sweet cream filling ). It was tasty, but was not worth $7. It was a bit too heavy for my taste. I was also waiting for Too Good To Go order while there, but something glitched (not sure if it was cafe or the app fault) and I left without it.

Three of us came here to celebrate a birthday and its a nice cigar lounge. Decor is good. However the servers are very cold. They serve drinks by measuring them. We had to order more than 5 rounds of single malt to really enjoy our cigars. . I have never been to a high end bar which doesn't have free pour. Food is nice. Overall its a decent place. Not sure if I will be back.

Hats off to William! 👏👌👍 We came for one cirgar and stayed until close. The service from William was excellent, and he was very knowledgeable. Excellent ambience and vibe. The cigar offering is very impressive. It is a member club. With a $40 minimum spend for walk ins. They do provide private cigar safe for members. Love this place wish we could come back again.

We got a table for 4 on Dec 30, 2023 for cigars and drinks. Nice corner table and it was very comfortable. We had such a fantastic and memorable night. The club had high quality cigars and made great drinks. I loved the design of the club. It’s a high end design, while maintaining a chill and laidback vibe. Lastly - excellent service by the team. Super attentive, warm and welcoming. Very well done Samantha, Mohamed and the rest of the team. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Visited this location for a nightcap and cigar after an amazing dinner. Definitely enhanced the evening!! Relaxed for over two hours and was well taken care of by the staff. Comfortable lounge type area with perfect lighting/decor and a great playlist of music!! Gold wall paper, wood French windows, thick carpet, tapestry like paintings, it’s almost like sitting in an old school, upscale South Florida/Caribbean hotel lounge back in the day. Ventilation was perfect even though the place was packed. Excellent cigar and drink choices. Pricey but, hey it New York! Definitely will return again for a stogie when I’m in the area again!
