Restaurants near W New York

Awesome as always! STRONGLY recommend this for locals and those visiting NYC…the latter will really get a great sense of the NYC vibe, whether you are looking for a family-friendly environment or for a day/night out with pals in search of great food and fun cocktails from the Smith’s top shelf mixologists. They really cover all bases with some of the best and warmest service in town (hold the unwarrantedly rude NYC attitude, please!). Just go and see for yourself - you will not be disappointed…CJ

Excellent food well prepared and attentive service in this small enclave makes this a go-to spot. A bit out of the way but that makes it more enjoyable since the crowds on Madison or Fifth avenues are not a problem. Stone crab claws were large and well prepared. The menu says 2lb Lobster stuffed with crabmeat and the dish is actually a good size lobster simply layered with huge chunks of crab-no breading. They offer to shell it for you as well. The wine list is extensive although I couldn't find many familiar names. Amazing place but be warned you'll need to have a fireproof credit card if you want the best of this fare..

Great menu. Food delicious. Quiet and relaxing vibe. attentive staff

We went to Empire for the first time. Our waiter was awesome. Very attentive. The only odd thing was that we had to eat upstairs in the Burger area. The downstairs was closed for an event. Outside of that, food, wine and service was great.

To be fair, we were a party of 13. Not S&W fault, our table was delayed to due guests who wouldn't leave after paying and we were seated almost an hour after our reservation. The staff was beyond impeccable, but the main course, though delicious, came out warm to cold. Our only complaint. One of my guests, who had ordered lobster, had their dish ice cold and did not eat it at all and S & W graciously removed it from the check. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time.
