Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Columbus Circle

surprisingly good experience. Hadn't been to the Rosie O'Gradys in the new location; my recollection of it was from the previous location on 7th Avenue which hosted innumerable Wall Street rubber chicken roadshow lunches. took my three kids ages 15, 10, and 6 along with my in laws and all were satisfied. my oldest son enjoyed the burger, my middle guy liked the spaghetti with butter, chicken nuggets and fries (mostly fries) and lemonade. My wife had the omelette which she enjoyed. my in-laws each had an onion soup and then split the steak sandwich. I tried a chunk of the meat and it was tasty and tender. I had the turkey club (I know, boring) but with onion rings instead of fries. My daughter enjoyed her chicken nuggets and fries then finished it off with the molten chocolate cake which I sampled and approve. the vanilla ice cream had a lot of vanilla bean in it and was smooth and delicious. The ladies each had themselves a Bloody Mary; they raved about the taste but said the potency was sub-par. The waitress was pleasant but in over her head a bit and had trouble processing the input when multiple people were speaking. She made up for her lack of skills by being extremely nice. The back up staff was attentive though this was New Years Day and the place was pretty empty so who knows what it will be like when it gets busy. Overall, a very nice upside surprise. the space is definitely a step up from the previous place on 7th and even from Ruth's Chris which occupied that space for a long time and which I knew well. definitely recommend, especially if you have kids. the kids' menu is an unusual but VERY welcome feature.

Great middle eastern style food. Some options I expected were not on the menu like gyro or saffron basmati rice but what we did order were great traditional dishes.

This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Run do not walk to David Burke Tavern! A delightful way to spend Christmas. The menu was varied and delicious, the cocktails refreshing and thirst quenching, charming and welcoming ambience, impeccable service and great management. A special thank you and shout out to the gregarious and generous Manager, Mr. Michael Moss! The Manager from the other DB restaurant who was there, the charming and affable Brian. And our special hostess par excellence, Lisa! They each contributed to making our Christmas evening unforgettable and so delightful. Our second very special Christmas there!

We appreciated the staff and the chef. We had early Christmas Eve dinner and they were very accommodating for offering outside their set menu. Food was great and the peppercorn cause was bomb.
