Best Historic Restaurants in Upper West Side

The quality of The Leopard never wavers. And the staff is just the best. We went today for Thanksgiving dinner knowing how crazy things could get but our experience was as perfect and gratifying as ever, which is to say that we loved the food and drink, and were in the most welcoming hands and such a beautiful atmosphere. We always feel fortunate to come here.

Our server Kelly was the best! Friendly and attentive without being overly being so. She went above and beyond when they comped a dessert AND added a free one because it came out late. The ambiance was great. Food was good but the overall experience was capped by her welcome attention to detail and genuine friendliness. Thanks and will definitely be back in the future here! The fish branzini and steak was perfect! Thanks for making our small reunion memorable.

David was a great server with a ton of knowledge on the menu and the history of the venue. We had a great time. The cocktails were great. Definitely going back for the Black Manhattan.

If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

outstanding experience! we have been coming to Emily WV since it opened. While the food has alwys been stellar, service has steadily declined…until this visit. Our server was outstanding and made our evening very enjoyable.
