Best Date Night Restaurants in Upper East Side

I purchased the pasta making experience as part of my fiancé’s Christmas present. He loves good fresh Italian food and Aunt Jake’s did not disappoint. The food was amazing the class was very explanatory and easy to follow. This is an exceptional value. I will say the only down side is that the space to work and learn is a little tight but hey most places in NYC are. If you are looking for delicious pasta and an amazing experience Aunt Jake’s is for you!

Loved the food. Had the Maine Lobster Summer Rolls for our app. The dipping sauce was really good. And we shared the Grilled Bronzino- the sauce was amazing. Really special dish and you get a lot of fish. And my favorite was the coconut rice. Melts in your mouth. For dessert they gave us Ube Flan in the house. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The servers are great, we sat right down with our rsvp, and I enjoyed the darker atmosphere as it beings a downtown vibe to Columbus Circle. I’m going back!

Visited Quality Meats for a family Christmas Eve dinner. Food was impressive and exceptional in taste. Felt that the dining experience exceeded the dollar value of the meal. We were very well attended to and the service added additional satisfaction to our visit. Will certainly dine again at Quality Meats.

Food delicious and service excellent. Been here twice now and both were great. It is expensive and when it gets crowded the noise level can get high but overall a great neighborhood place!

This is my 2nd time here. I made reservations weeks ahead of time due to the holiday. I was only able to get outside lobby area. Upon arrival I asked if anything was available inside and they had high top bar seating available at their “seafood bar”. I was with my friend and our daughters under twenty one. Since it was freezing they wanted the inside. We had no trouble talking and the view from this spot was nice. Our server Dorji was EXCELLENT. He was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions on drinks. We decided on the espresso martini and it was perfect. Our arrival was before 6 so the prix fix was available and you definitely get a lot for your money. The salad was okay but the French onion soup was wonderful and really hit the spot on a cold day. Two of us had the coq au vin and that was delicious. My friend had the steak and was happy. My daughter ordered the NY strip off the regular menu. She loved the fries, enjoyed the steak but said the cut was a little tough. We had crème brûlée which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The location of the restaurant is perfect if you are in town for the holidays. The place was decorated beautifully as well.
