Best European Restaurants in Upper East Side

Pretty place, and obviously popular. Noise level is awful, even in the garden. I was disappointed in the food, as the place was recommended for the food. The French Toast was dry, and not soaked enough or just not enough egg. The omelette was average. It took a long time to get our starter coffees, and at that time the were not full. Later, it became very bus and I know it was harder for the staff.

Very impressed overall. From the hostess to the waiter and the chef everything was great. Definitely will be back, ambiance was do nice. Good so good. Drinks were great. The two hostess when we arrived were pleasant and professional. We will def be back.

This is my second time going to 83 1/2. Great food and great service. Intimate surroundings, just a lovely experience. I will be making it my local favorite.

always a great restaurant gave a 4 for good because they recently got rid of their signature beet borscht soup which was a fan favorite they should bring it back
