    We had a big group of 7 of us and wanted to eat close to the Lincoln Center prior to the Ballet. Smith was fantastic. The food was spot on, and the service was even better. This will be our new go-to when we visit NYC and go to any performances at the Lincoln Center. Thanks to the staff at Smith for a memorable meal with friends to kick off an incredible night

    I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

    Dining at Quality Meats is always a treat, but this particular evening was special, yet bittersweet. We had given them a heads-up and they still went above and beyond—not with grand gestures, but with a level of attentiveness and care that made all the difference. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, warm without being overbearing. The staff gave us the space to enjoy our meal in a way that felt personal, yet effortlessly seamless. And then, of course, there’s the food. The tomahawk was steak cooked to perfection and the creamed corn crème brûlée was rich and satisfying. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you why certain restaurants become institutions. What stood out most, though, wasn’t just the quality of the food but the quality of the experience. On a night when we needed a little extra grace, Quality Meats delivered in ways they may not even realize. For that, I’m truly grateful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a meal that’s as refined as it is comforting, in a space that understands the true meaning of hospitality.
