Restaurants near Alfred E Smith Playground

I made a reservation for my niece and her Australian boyfriend who are visiting New York from Toronto. Her Nana and I treated them to dinner for her birthday. They absolutely loved it! And judging by the photos, the food looked fabulous! Thank you for the extra touch by giving her a birthday cupcake. I’ve been hearing about Beauty & Essex for years from a fellow Canadian. I hope I get to visit one day! Thanks again for giving them a wonderful experience.

Very romantic and very tasteful food. Servers were excellent and the atmosphere was beautiful. My only complaint is we were sat towards the back of the restaurant away from all the beautiful decorations. However a good plus from this was it was more private. Overall the food has me already wanting to visit little Italy again

Overall amazing experience for lunch. We kept it simple and we each ordered the signature bento box. Food was outstanding and perfectly portioned. Left full and happy. Always a great time at Nobu!!

Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.

Had an amazing experience for our anniversary. Servers were on point and never hovered or crowded; very polite and attentive. Food was mind blowing, especially the bibimbap and steak selections we ordered. Overall a must try for any meat-lover, and will definitely visit again.
