Best Historic Restaurants in Midtown

The Union Station Hotel is one of the most beautiful and welcoming spaces we've found. A cocktail from the Bar Car in the lobby was the perfect start to our evening. The date night dinner for two was good value and more than we could eat despite sharing the first course and dessert. Every dish was beautifully prepared and presented. Just a great night out celebrating our friend's birthday.

We had an early dinner 4:00 so we could get to a concert. Our server, Nikki, was excellent. The couple meeting us was delayed due to traffic. We did not feel rushed at all and we were allowed to be seated and wait for our friends. We ordered the filets with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Excellent! Also the shrimp linguine which was excellent! Very enjoyable dining experience!

This was by far the best Italian food we have ever had. The halibut and lobster ravioli were exceptional.

This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.

Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.
