Lobster Ravioli
Jv Y.

We decided to do a museum weekend and stayed at a hotel right by Rockefeller Center. We came back from a lot of walking, and decided we would have dinner at this restaurant right at the hotel. The front desk made a reservation for us, and we arrived a little early but were seated right away. It was very cold outside, and they did have patio seating which gave a little draft where we were seated. It wasn't bad, and as the night went on, it got comfortable. The place was pretty full, and even the colder patio area seemed to be packed, but service was spot on. I accidentally dropped a bread plate, and before I could lean over and pick it up, one of the other servers had already picked it up, while another slid a replacement plate from another table onto ours, and another server replaced that one. It happened so quick, but I felt was really remarkable after I had observed the whole thing. I was tempted to drop something else, but restrained myself. Started off with a couple of cocktails, then appetizers, and the main courses. Everything came out timely, and very well prepared. Not once did I have to get someone's attention for anything. Our waiter was always nearby and very attentive, but not hovering. The martinis were perfect and almost went down too easily. The Polpo was perfectly grilled and had a nice delicate bite. I'm a fan of goat cheese in my salad, so we got the Duomo51, which had some blueberries and a light lemon dressing which was just right. My better half had the Lobster Ravioli special, and I had the Ribeye. This arrived very hot with a great sear, but medium rare as I ordered it. They had sliced it while on the bone before grilling, so each piece was nicely crusted and medium rare. We skipped dessert, but did have a couple more martinis. They were delicious.

Eggs Benedict and 3 Egg Omelet
Haley S.

Came here with a reservation, and the service was great, but the food was very average. We started out with $18 mimosas, followed by the Eggs Benedict with spinach, and the 3 Egg Omelet. The food was good but nothing special, and the 'breakfast potatoes,' were skim. Maybe it was because it was NYE or just a New York thing, but we had an automatic gratuity charge of 20% for a party of 2? I know that's a thing for big parties, but people are just getting greedy these days. This breakfast was $107 dollars, including the gratuity and the fact that $36 of that was in just 2 mimosas. Mediocre food for that price just isn't worth it.

Beautiful place perfect for a romantic date. Food and drinks were amazing. Service was nice and friendly.

Amazing food, wonderful service and elegant ambiance. What do you wanna ask? The restaurant is located at 7th floor of Hilton hotel. You can see the St Patrick Cathedral from the terrace. It is like an oasis in the busy city.

We chose Duomo 51 on a whim--and it turned out to be one of our most memorable dining experiences in the city. Tucked away inside the Doubletree by Hilton on the 7th floor, it was a little tricky to find, but so worth the effort. We had reservations and were seated on their gorgeous terrace, which was beautifully decorated and offered a stunning view of the city skyline. It felt like a peaceful escape above the hustle of Manhattan. The food was incredible--we ordered the nightly special with asparagus, shrimp, and tomatoes, along with bolognese, Caesar salad, and the soup du jour (a rich, comforting tomato soup). Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Our waiter was a standout--helpful, patient, and genuinely kind, which only added to the warm atmosphere. If you're looking for elevated Italian cuisine in a romantic, rooftop setting, Duomo 51 is absolutely worth the find.

This is one of those restaurants that won't seat you until your entire party has arrived. Which is odd because not only is transportation in nyc unpredictable, this is also located in a hotel with just two elevators. We arrived on time, while the rest of our party was only five minutes late, and they told us to stand by the elevators in the hall... I absolutely hated that. It ruined our whole experience. What if something came up & they couldn't make it at all? Service was fine. Pasta was sub-par. You get a great view of radio city, but that was the best part. Definitely would not go back here.

Pomodoro
Tammy C.

My experience here was pretty mid in all honesty. I came for a friends birthday. I orders the pomodoro and a non alcoholic drink. The Pomodoro was good but nothing to write home about. The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was good but again, nothing to write home about. I also had a bite of the carbonara which was pretty flavorful and very good. I feel like the menu was pretty basic. It's your standard pastas, seafood, American Italian dishes. They did have a truffle section though. But I wish they had put a bit more into their dishes to make them unique. The service was fine. The dishes were all brought out around the same time. The servers were knowledgeable on the menu but were not overly friendly. I feel like they were adequately attentive but for the high end nature of this restaurant, I would've expected more. The decor is nice and the aesthetic is giving high end and the servers are all dressed up in suits. The ambience was clean and there was light elevator music playing. For the price of the dishes, I would have expected a bit more...

Carbonara

Love this upscale Italian restaurant. This place is inside the DoubleTree Hotel. I had an early dinner reservation so it was not busy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely ambiance and amazing views. Service, cocktails, and food were all on point. I really enjoyed the burrata and carbonara. Pricey, but great for special occasions. Highly recommend this place!

Filetto Al Pepe Verde

Located in a very convenient area. Right near radio city and near the tree. Ambiance is very nice. Made a reservation the day before and I do not regret you. You are escorted to your seat quickly. Wait staff is attentive and kind. The food is ready quickly. The bread and dip is really good. Anything can be made on the side or separate. The tiramisu is really great. The inside is beautiful. You can also see outside around the area which is also nice. I will be returning again soon.

Salad
Raimonda K.

Sorry but NO! I made reservation month in advance. I made sure to make a comment that its my bday and if they could seat us near the window. They did not and on top of that we got the most ride waiter ever named Marsel. He literally was ignoring me (female) and he was just talking to my friend (male) and only asking him what he likes to order, or if the food was ok. Even my friend said "wow he really is ignoring you". Disgusting service! The food was ok, i liked the salad but i did not like the pasta. Atmosphere was ok tho extremely loud, the music was loud so all people were screaming over. I did not enjoy my time at this restaurant all, the main thing was the waiter being rude to me on my birthday. The only good thing about this restaurant is the location. I would not recommend this place!

Shelbie M.

Absolutely delicious and lovely wine selection. Service was top notch! Great vegetarian options, which I love.

It's located inside a hotel on the 7th floor, the views are spectacular. We arrived at almost 5pm and made a reservation ahead of time since it was 9 of us. We were quickly seated as soon as we arrived. Service was great, they had a few people helping us. They checked on us frequently. They take the orders for appetizers and main course at the same time. We had the eggplant, the calamari (it isn't fried so the texture is a bit different), and the burrata. My favorite was the burrata it's so good but cheese is always a good option in my opinion. For my main course I had the lobster ravioli which wasn't on the menu but I guess one of their specials for that day. It wasn't ok, the lobster that was placed around my ravioli was hard so probably overcooked. Some others in the group ordered steaks including the Ribeye and Tomahawk. The ribeye in my opinion looked better because the Tomahawk looked like it was mainly a huge bone and a lot of fat on some of the meat. It did taste good though (at least the piece I tried). They also have a truffle menu if that's your thing, request that menu from them. They seem to have lunch specials during the week days until a certain time, they have a fix menu for a 3 course meal for about $40. Overall it was a nice time. I wasn't blown away by the food but if you're in the area then maybe you can huge it a try.

As we had our cocktails we discussed going somewhere else as the vibe was flat. But my husband convinced me to stay as it's already 8:30. We head upstairs to our table, only to be greeted by another less enthusiastic server. He never told us his name or offered up any menu highlights. I was excited to have bone marrow and escargot. Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

The spiral staircase you see as you enter the restaurant gives it a very luxurious atmosphere. However, the restrooms are spacious and there are plenty of seats, so you can even bring a stroller. The service is also attentive and excellent.

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with 2 mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but the idea of returning feels less like reclaiming an old life than dipping a toe into a world I no longer need to inhabit. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a handsome room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was polished, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

The olives paired perfectly with the salad. The hot dogs were my favorite. The whole meal was perfectly balanced for me. Just have to mention how amazing the service was. No table had anything waiting to be taken away because there was always someone walking around.
