Best Hot Spot Restaurants in MiMo / Upper East Side

The food was delicious, but unfortunately, the service fell short. The service issues need attention.

I enjoyed my Christmas dinner at Makoto. I was running a little late but when I arrived they were willing to sit me immediately. I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar. Antonio is amazing with customer service. When he wasn’t around the other bartender Michelle was checking in on me. Even when I appeared to need help, a Manager (Cindy) stopped and ask me did I need anything make my experience better. Happy Holidays!! I will be back to see them. Food: Crab baked Handroll - 10 out of 10! I had two. Chicken gyozas or potstickers (not sure) 9 out of 10 (I thought they would be fried) Rock Shrimp - 9 out of 10 (a dipping sauce will make them perfect) Chicken Ramen - 7 out of 10 (it’s good but somethings missing in the flavor) I’m just working my way through the menu but I will definitely be back. Again and Again!

The hostess' treatment was rude, she was very impatient and spoke in a disrespectful tone, the treatment of the waiters was excellent, they gave us recommendations and the conversation with them was pleasant, but the service at the entrance leaves a lot to be desired

The restaurant left an exceptional impression on me. The food was simply delicious, with flavours that surprised my palate in every dish. The presentation of the food was also impeccable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. As for the service, the staff was attentive and friendly, always willing to recommend dishes and make sure we had everything we needed. Their professionalism really stood out and contributed to making the evening memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was cosy and well decorated, creating a perfect space to enjoy a good meal. The soft lighting and background music complemented the experience, making me feel relaxed and content. All in all, it was an experience that exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be back.

Wonderful night for Noche Buena, excellent ambiance and service with Lucas. Great Latin specials with Chipa, Vitel Tone and a moqueca type dish. Delicious and great pricing. Hope to be back soon!
