Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Midtown

We loved our experience at Clio today! I came with my family who can be quite picky about restaurants and ambience and service. They’re hard people to go out with but they LOVED Clio. First of all, our server Tanner was a gem. He had very good recommendations and anticipated our needs before we even knew them. Tanner was so kind and even introduced us to the table next to us which was so sweet and cute. My sister is in love with him now— I’m sure he gets that often! The food was so delicious. Plate sizes felt small but we ordered a couple to share and that’s the way to do it I believe!! We had a mostly vegetarian meal with the four dips, 2 roasted veggie plates, the Clio salad (with an added chicken kebab— very yummy, marinated in yogurt so juicy and not dry at all!), the crispy potatoes, and the beet plates!! I recommend all of it. We didn’t even miss the meat! The tea and coffee were a lovely addition as well as the fig ice cream and toffee pudding. I want that served at my wedding and funeral. The restaurant itself has a really cute and cozy, light and airy, elevated hipster-esque breath of fresh air. Cannot reiterate how much we loved our server Tanner! Each plate is about $20.

The entire experience at Spezia was wonderful. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and made sure that everything we ordered was safe for me to consume with a gluten allergy. The atmosphere was quiet and romantic, a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day. We will definitely be returning for date nights in the future!

It was a great time. We had never been there before, so it was a great date.

Had a wonderful dining experience for Valentine's Day, dinner. Had to increase the reservation a few days prior and 801 graciously accommodated. When we arrived, we received a friendly greeting and were seated promptly. Our main server was extremely friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about every item we asked about on the menu. The serving team that assisted were also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. There were 4 people in our party & everything we ordered tasted absolutely amazing! The family style sides were definitely a great choice, so we could all try different things and not a single option disappointed! I highly recommend 801 Chophouse for any special occasion! My only regret is that the cost is on the higher end, at least for my budget. And I wish I could frequent this wonderful restaurant more often!

Always a delicious meal with great service. Today, was a special Valentine’s menu and it didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed the scallops and Wagyu Denver steak! Desserts were scrumptious (berry cheesecake and raspberry beignets with ice cream and caramel sauce). Love this restaurant. We were also pleasantly surprised to see Steven again as our server. He is very knowledgeable and friendly.
