Best Restaurants for People Watching in MiMo / Upper East Side

We waited a bit for our table, but they made sure to keep us happy with their amazing Colombian vibe, offering us free drinks and food. I really enjoyed my time there—it made me feel close to home and was exactly what I needed!

I absolutely loved this restaurant. My husband and I visit the one next to it all the time, we had never been to Casablanca. I will definitely be coming back! 10/10 experience.

I enjoyed my Christmas dinner at Makoto. I was running a little late but when I arrived they were willing to sit me immediately. I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar. Antonio is amazing with customer service. When he wasn’t around the other bartender Michelle was checking in on me. Even when I appeared to need help, a Manager (Cindy) stopped and ask me did I need anything make my experience better. Happy Holidays!! I will be back to see them. Food: Crab baked Handroll - 10 out of 10! I had two. Chicken gyozas or potstickers (not sure) 9 out of 10 (I thought they would be fried) Rock Shrimp - 9 out of 10 (a dipping sauce will make them perfect) Chicken Ramen - 7 out of 10 (it’s good but somethings missing in the flavor) I’m just working my way through the menu but I will definitely be back. Again and Again!

Excellent experience! Festive atmosphere without being too loud. Busy spot with intimate back room dining. Comfortable seating, beautiful design, and wonderful entertainment.

OG Miami. Sat outside and shared lettuce, cacio pepe, and an onion pizza. Excellent combo.
