Thanks! Telepan is a smidgen on the expensive side, but well-suited for this kind of meal.

Welcoming other thoughts as well!

Hello all,

Looking for a restaurant recommendation on the Upper West Side (or close-by) for 5-person family dinner (including an 89 year old!). Nothing "too edgy", preferably in the Italian/French/American genre. For a price point, Dovetail is a bit expensive.

Many thanks!

hi all,

long-time-reader, first-time-poster.

i searched around for threads to piece the answer to this question together, but no dice by my count.

i'm looking to reserve a dinner for two at eleven madison park-- i've only been there for lunch and was wildly impressed-- and have a question regarding the four course verses the seven course menu. while $125 is a tad out of my price range, $195 is even more of a poor financial decision.

one of the highlights of EMP that 'made' lunch for me were the lots of extras-- plenty of amuses, candies, etc.

i'm wondering if there's a difference in these 'extras' between the four and seven course menus. do both get a quick tour of the kitchen if desired? and that cocktail? and candies?!? perhaps this makes me sound greedy. i'm not! just curious before i decide where my next fiscally unsound dinner is going to be.

many thanks in advance!
