I am planning a surprise party with about 20-ish guests coming. I want to host it in a lounge or something but don't want to pay for anyone's drinks (they will buy their own). Does anyone know of a place that will hold that many people and can possibly accommodate without paying a fee or charge per person?

Thanks so much.

We've been to Eleven Madison Park, Daniel, and Le Bernardine. I'm thinking Aureole might be a good choice. He's mentioned it before... I've never heard of La Grenouillie. Anyone else been there?

Hi,
I am looking for a place to take my boyfriend for his birthday dinner. We've been to Per Se, Daniel, Jean-Georges, etc, etc. I need a recommendation for a very nice place in Manhattan. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

(Pardon my horrible spelling but here is what I can think of off the top of my head)
PER SE
DANIEL
LE BERNADINE
LEVER HOUSE
JEAN-GEORGES (+ ALL HIS OTHER MANHATTAN RESTAURANTS)
DE GUSTATION
WD-50
11 MADISON PARK
ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SEA
L'ATALIER
15 EAST
ETAS UNI

and many more!

Definitely Daniel. La Bernardin is SO not worth the price. It is seafood, but nothing special, service is horrible. Bleh!

Also Try 11 Madison Park....

My boyfriend and I have been to TONS of amazing restaurants in New York. I need to make a reservation for his b-day but have no places in mind that we haven't been! I'm looking for something upscale like Per Se or Jean-Georges quality. Please suggest.....!!!!

Thanks!

Most amazing drinks...EVER would be at Milk & Honey. You can't get in unless you know the number (which I'm not giving out, sorry) but owned by the same man is Little Branch, open to anyone. Same amazing cocktails and also a bit cheaper!

Per Se, hands down. Why is this even a question??? You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Try Bistro Le Steak on 75th/3rd. It has a really good brunch, great bloody mary's and great prices!

Totonos Pizza is super good.
Bistro Le Steak is great for brunch and has a great "Le Steak Burger" and french onion soup!
Etats Unis is really good
Vinyl is good for cheap breakfast

I waited 5 hours once. Luckily I lived right around the corner so I just went home for the wait. I think it is closed now due to health violations so you may want to call first.

What about The Fat Duck? Has anyone been there?

I want to know what the best restaurant is from multiple people. I'm not expecting everyone to agree, I want different ideas of what is good.

Where is the best place to eat in London? I'm looking for the finest meal available. Something that can top or come as close as possible to New York's Per Se.

The Corner Bistro for a great burger, then a nice short walk to Magnolias for their famous cupcakes.

My boyfriend took me to Per Se for my b-day. Now his b-day is coming up and I need to find a place that will top Per Se. I am looking for something in Manhattan so French Laundry is out. Please help! Thanks!!!!

So I went to Chat Noir. The food was excellent. We had the salmon tartar and the scallops on a half shell to start and then the steak frites (i got the gorgonzala, he got the bernaise)and we had the chocolate cake for dessert. It was all wonderful. It was suprisingly crowded for a monday night but they sat us in the corner so I didn't mind the noise. Thanks for the suggestion.

Chat Noir it is! Thanks!

I just found out I need to make dinner reservations tonight for 2. It's for a celebration. Open to all kinds of food. Nice place in the Upper East Side. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!

You can buy them an Elis for $150 per ounce!

Okay, I have to say that I hated Sushi Seki! There was this big hype about it and it's not very nice, it's expensive and the sushi wasn't that great at all. Try Iwasaki just down the street from Sushi Seki (it's on 1st btw 61/60th I think). It is absolutely amazing I go there at least 3 times a week. The fish is amazingly fresh are tons of "special rolls" and it's very cheap. The only draw back is the ambience isn't that great. If you're looking for ambience, try Totoya on 1st and 63rd.

I am still craving In-N-Out Burger even though it's fast food! In NY I haven't found too many good burgers. The best I've had are J. G. Melon, Corner Bistro and Shake Shack in that order.

Any suggestions? Someplace fun on a saturday night but not too over the top.

Believe it or not, the lettuce wraps at California Pizza Kitchen are pretty damn good. It's on 60th and 3rd Ave I believe.

It doesn't neccessarily have to be Italian. I am open to anything that is impressively good.

I went there in July and it was awesome.

I tried to make reservations at Babbo but they are booked for the day I wish to go. What is the second best place in your opinion?

My family is coming to NY and I want to take them out to a nice restaurant. There will be 6 of us in our party and I want to spend around $300-ish. Any suggestions? And yes, I've already tried and failed to get us a res at Babbo :)

Thanks!
