Best Seasonal Restaurants in Upper East Side

One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

Enjoyed the scallop/pomegranite special and crab cake. Perfection! Lovely meld of flavors. Hubby really enjoyed his JUICY, flavorful burger. Topped it off with delicious creme brûlée. Irish Coffee needed a little more HEAT. VIEW was spectacular with the rain falling on the ice. First time to New York from Dallas TX and this was a top Fiver!

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.

As always, it is delightful to have lunch and or dinner at Sistina. It is one of the most charming restaurants in New York City, and the food quality is absolutely the best the chef is the best in New York City in my opinion. I have never enjoyed another restaurant quite as much .

Excellent experience - would dine again with Chef Noz ⭐️
