    Our server Leo was outstanding as were the other servers. The food was excellent! We requested a quiet table because one of the people in our party has hearing loss and the restaurant was very attentive to that when seating us. We were not rushed at all and the server was able to recommend several items which were delicious Had the branzino, lamb kabob, shnitzel, as large plates. Taboon "bread" was superb. Humous and Israeli salad were excellent. We decided to have dessert and the flourless chocolate cake and other dessert were scrumptious Will definitely go back! Thanks, Bustan for a wonderful evening.

    Haven is hands down one of the best views of New York City while you’re having an incredible meal. We typically for dinner but I’m sure other meals that they offer is just as good. It’s definitely one our favorite places to treat ourselves for a nice occasion.

    WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.

    Milling Room is a great spot for a date night meal. The ambiance and styling aim to impress which it did. The food is above average without going over the top in either presentation or price. Just watch out for the drink prices. The waiter up charged by 50% for a Hendrix martini, without informing, then tried to pass it off that I should have known the menu price was well liquor. Despite the blatant attempt at a rip off, I will be back

    It was very popular for a Monday, but I definitely enjoyed the ambience and the food was delicious, we had the dip sampler, the chicken and the short rib; everything was cooked and seasoned well! I’ve also been here for ladies night on Thursday and they have a good happy hour menu and a live DJ, had a great time!
