Fine Dining Restaurants near Woodside, NY

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“My wife and I went here for our 12 year anniversary. “Perfect” is an understatement. I’ve been to a little more than half a dozen 3-star Michelin restaurants over the past decade, and Chef’s Table was one of the best for me. They nailed it from the moment we walked in right to the very end, when they brought out a special dessert dish with a candle to top off our anniversary occasion, and then one of the chef’s came by to congratulate us. I can say they had incredibly fresh and rare ingredients, and prepared it all impeccably - almost in an unreal, dreamlike fashion. But that’s what you expect at a 3-star Michelin place, so that shouldn’t be surprising (although I feel that I ate more flowers here). The way they combined the ingredients, the meticulous attention to detail (that we could see clearly form our table), and the clear respect the kitchen and waiting staff had for each other might have been what set this restaurant apart. The flavors came to life in my mouth. I wouldn’t stop chewing after the food was gone, just to savor the flavors for even another short moment. I know things can’t be perfect in this world, but Chef’s Table is right there. Our waiting staff was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and prompt, but they were also very human and able to anticipate our thoughts. They connected with us unlike previous experiences - simply because they knew that’s what we wanted. Chefs Table has left a lasting memory better than any I’ve had to date. We went there right after seeing The Great Gadspy, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. This is a meal we will remember for ever. Thank you very much for being so amazing. We will be back.“

“Great experience! Excellent food! Wonderful services!“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Truly amazing experience! We come to New York around Christmas for weekend every year and every year we try a new place. This by far is the best experience we’ve had. Wonderful flavors, great courteous service. My taste buds were in ecstatic state for the rest of the night! The way each course flavors are opening in mouth..just unbelievable!“

“Loved everything about our evening at Frevo. It felt like an experience as much as dinner. The service was excellent, the food fantastic, and the vibe was downright sexy. I will be dreaming of the carrot course and the Comte with honey ice cream. Both literally made my eyes roll to the back of my head in the best of ways and were some of the best things I have ever eaten.“

“Though we enjoyed our meal at HAGS, our experience wasn’t quite as sensational as some of the other reviewers.

We found the food a bit underwhelming, especially at this price point. Don’t get me wrong, it was good throughout and sometimes great. The beef entree and the pumpernickel brand, for example, were fantastically done.

But many of the remaining dishes were quite vegetable-forward and some of the flavors didn’t seem to make sense together. There’s nothing wrong with a lot of vegetable dishes, but taken together it felt like the meal was a little bare and missing some substance / finesse.

The service was awesome and the decor of the place is lovely and memorable. Unfortunately, those were the parts of the meal that left the most lasting impression (vs the meal itself). Also love that they include tip with the menu prices - more restaurants ought to do that.

Maybe we aren’t the target demographic, but I think there are better spots in NYC to drop $200 pp.“

“Food is probably the best in the city with wine and service to match. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and at a few points during the evening my captain invited me to enjoy the sunset and then fireworks from their terrace right outside on the 63rd floor! Impeccable evening, 20/10 would come back.“

“When you book at a Michelin 3 Star restaurant expectations are pretty high. Especially when you fly in special to New York for your wife’s milestone birthday. Could it be that good? The short answer is yes. Amazing view. I couldn’t believe our table overlooking Central Park. Wait staff. Totally matched our vibe. Attentive, funny and the right mix of leave me alone with a hint of answering questions and lightheartedness. Shoutout to Eric!!! The food. It’s all about the food, right? Upon the first bites in your mouth you wonder what you’ve been chewing your whole life. It certainly wasn’t this. I have the palette of a kindergartner and even I was blown away from the flavors, textures and sensations. To top it off a few special extras for my wife’s birthday. Worth the special trip. Couldn’t imagine having done anything else.“

“Excellent dining experience. It was nice to see diners appropriately dressed….no baseball caps, sneakers or sweats. Blazers are not required but I would recommend a dress for ladies and a collared shirt with nice pants for the men.
Tuna was good but the sardine toast was better.
Sweet crab and duck tortellini were great.
The osso buco was a little salty but the meat was tender and perfectly cooked.
The black bass was excellent.
Opt for the sticky toffee pudding. One dessert is more than enough for two people.
The service was top notch. He did a great job with the recommendations.“

“From the gorgeous atmosphere to the meticulously curated entrees, this team has manufactured a work of art. We were welcomed by caring, professional staff eager to make our experience perfect. My admiration only deepened when I discovered how decadent and delicious a simple leak could be. Everything is in the perfect spot. A visit here is not recommended - it's essential.“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I am a Capital Grille Groupie! Born & raised in Boston -attended Boston University in the shadows of the flagship Capital Grille in Boston - When Rockefeller recruited /transferred me to Manhattan I discovered Managing Partner Bill Butler -locations on 42nd street , Rock Center & Wall Street. My clients love Executive Chef Partner Alex Garcia! His signature beef choices & sides are favorites!! GM Jill is fashionably dressed in a knockout red leather dress. Diningroom Mgr Laura is the “hostess with the mostest”!!
Our waiter Luis was well versed in menu choices to complement our tastes! Bennett mixes a grey goose perfectly chilled!! We began with Seafood soup &.Jumbo shrimp cocktail. Perfectly prepared filet minion & a new seafood creation: 5 tender scallops over a risotto with lobster chunks perfectly cooked al dente!! And cheesecake with a gorgeous fruit medley to WOW the most discerning for dessert. The “Street talk”:. All midtown competition salivate for the “standing room only” customers in the lounge and without a reservation no availability in the diningroom!! Congratulations Team Bill Butler: YOU have a Winner!!
Xoxo Bonnie from Manhattan“

“Very nice setting and good food!“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“I had to take one star off because this is definitely not a fine dining experience even though that is what they advertise themselves as. If it were not for the food I would have given this a two star review.

The experience was not pleasant. We were seated at a makeshift table, where the window was right behind me. My seat was the bench to the window (essentially where people sit to wait to be seated). I do not know if this is an everyday thing or because they were overbooked but this was not pleasant. The table was right next to the door, so everytime the door opens the wind blasts at us (it did not help that there was a kid that was running in and out of the restaurant). Other guests were standing right next to our table hovering right over us as we were eating and because they were waiting to be seated. For a "fine dining" restaurant there was nothing "fine dining" to it.

The food however was very good. The blending of Asian influences with a modern approach was very nice. The fried chicken was incredible. The inside was still super juicy and soft while the outside was very crispy. That was our favorite dish of the night.“

“Some of the best food I’ve had in nyc! Servers are all extremely polite and kind. Food is delicious. Even the things I normally don’t like I found delicious at this restaurant. The house white is stunning and the tomahawk is incredible 10/10 place“

“We had an incredible experience at Milo’s! The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect for a memorable evening. A special shoutout to Manager Yan, who went above and beyond to make our dinner extra special. Not only did he ensure we had the table we requested, but his warm and welcoming nature truly elevated our experience. Thank you, Yan, for your kindness and for making our night unforgettable.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, good cocktails and yummy food!“

“I will say that I didn't find the service as exceptional as other locations I've dined in. The waiter left empty glasses on the table instead of taking them when he brought out the refills, they didn't clean the table before bringing out the next course. They were kind and added a laugh here and there. No one asked if we were there celebrating anything, which is usually the first question I hear in their restaurants, especially since we did come for an occasion.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“It’s an amazing experience. So glad I chose to dine here.“

“Dear God, I had so much fun!! There was a LOT of hype going into this, and it fully lived up to all of it. The atmosphere was fun and playful, the service was exceptional, and the food was to the quality you would actually expect of fine dining. Could not recommend this place enough. For any foodie, for any “experience” person, for anyone idc - go!!! now!!! You won’t regret it.

Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, I was not disappointed! The dishes were unlike anything else I’ve had, and I definitely did not feel neglected compared to my carnivore peers.“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“My recent visit to Capital Grille was an unexpected delight. While renowned for its prime cuts, I discovered a haven for seafood lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.

The star of my meal was an exquisitely prepared tuna dish. Seared to perfection, it boasted a crisp exterior giving way to a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth center. The chef's expert touch was evident in the balanced flavors and thoughtful accompaniments, proving that Capital Grille's expertise extends well beyond beef.

However, the true highlight of the evening was the bar experience, courtesy of the talented Nicole. Her cocktails were nothing short of extraordinary - each sip a harmonious blend of flavors, showcasing both creativity and precision. From classic mixes to innovative concoctions, Nicole's drinks elevated the entire dining experience to new heights.

The ambiance struck a perfect balance between upscale and inviting, ideal for both special occasions and refined casual dining. Attentive service rounded out an impressive evening.

Capital Grille has successfully broadened its appeal, offering a diverse, high-quality experience that caters to various palates. Whether you're craving a perfectly cooked steak, exploring seafood options, or seeking top-tier cocktails, this restaurant delivers with finesse
Definitely check this place out“

“The food drinks serviced, live music and ambience was excellent. We had the octopus which was perfectly cooked an seasoned and the bbq bourbon meatballs which were fantastic. The best salad was beautifully platted and tasted just as good. The drinks were very good. We had the eve elizyr non alch, Garden of Eden and 37th west.“

“A truly unique concept. The food prepared by Chef Stone was incredible and one-of-a-kind. Direct access to the chef and sommelier allowed for some really elevating conversations about how all of the food and wine were prepared / chosen. All combined with incredible views and an intimacy of setting you could never find at a comparable restaurant“

“This is our fourth time here. Fantastic team capable of accommodating any / all chefs in residence. This time the chef is Rasika and she crushed it. without a doubt the best Indian food you can possibly get in NY. Her residency ends late Feb 2025 so get on it before it's too late. Regardless of Chef, this is a fantastic restaurant for tastings. Wine pairings never disappoint and it's a fab date night. My wife gets mad at me for taking photos of an empty bowl but for me, that says it all. We literally licked our plates clean, the food is that good.“

“Very impressive. It’s great to see someone so young achieving his goals. Compared to other top restaurants in NYC, Gem is right up there.“

“peking duck spring rolls appetizer, yummers! lobster shrimp scampi entre, delicious! desserts, order one of each and share, go for it! life is short my friends, live the - (dash) - enjoy the journey :-)“

“Amazing food, Amazing service, Amazing atmosphere!“

“It’s just the most wonderful place ever. My favorite NYC restaurant. I love everything about it.“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower and it was wonderful. The staff, service and food were excellent!“

“In town traveling and decided to stop in for lunch. Luis took care of us for lunch and we had an absolutely spectacular experience. Our cocktails were perfectly balanced and delightful. From apps to dessert, every forkful was magic. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“Un très bon restaurant japonais avec des produits frais. Personnel en tenu typique, je le recommande !“

“Excellent dinner and the best ricotta cheese cake ever“

“I am not usually the one to write reviews on Google, but this place is fire. As someone already mentioned, it's basically a Dig, but better (at least for warm bowls). The space is nicer, the staff friendlier, and the food portions are as flavorful as Dig, yet more generous.One of the biggest pet peeves of mine while eating out in one of those healthy and casual spots is that I often feel like they serve you less protein than they advertise (which is usually supposed to be 4oz). That's especially annoying after a good workout. But to my surprise, the server today actually weighed my chicken to make sure the portion was accurate, so that made me happy (and yes, I count my macros). Anyway I hope they keep doing that.Overall, a great experience — I definitely plan on coming back.“

“very profesional and very nice person, God blessing her“

“The atmosphere was spot on and the food had exceeded our expectations and the service was excellent.“

“We travel to New York every year the week before Christmas. And this Restaurant we now be part of our trip EVERY YEAR! Amazing; Atmosphere Staff Food Wine If you don’t visit ... You are missing out!“

“Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL“

“La vista es espectacular!!“

“What a wonderful place to have an old fashioned excellent time with your friends in the company of wonderful people! The drinks are generous and very yummy. The food is coming in large portions and is delicious. And not to mention they have dancing every weekend! Love Lilly's place love Le Chateau??!!“

“This is probably my fifth time there. The food is always way above delicious. The service was above Excellent. One of my wife and I favorite restaurant. This restaurant is the holy grail of delicious. We had a party of 7 for my wife's birthday 10/26/2024“

“This is fine dining at it's finest! Service was supreme. Attention to detail was precise. The food was simply incredible. Lobster and shrimp and mussels and truffle ravioli that was not over powering with truffle. Just the right amount of truffle. My mouth waters remembering this meal. All while sitting outside on a late summer evening. Possibly the perfect meal. Merci“

“The breakfast environment at the St. Regis New York is quite good. There are not too many people dining, so the dining experience is very good. Premium members of the hotel receive free breakfast. You can choose any breakfast on the menu. The steak is very worthwhile. It is a serious steak meal. Compared with ordinary breakfasts, it is much inferior. The orange juice is fresh and delicious. If the latte is too strong, you can add more. Want milk.“

“Amazing ambience and service! Food was excellent and my fav was Chicken Satay, Shrimp Satay, Wonton Soup, Dumplings, Duck Salad, Spicy Velvet Chicken and Black Prawns….loved those dishes!!“
