Best Casual Restaurants in Lincoln Square

My visits, since moving out of NYC, are infrequent, but always exceed my expectations. I never feel rushed, and always love the friendly vibe of the staff. Tonight I was celebrating a friends birthday and my daughter, who lives inthe neighborhood was walking by from her apartment. I encouraged she and her boyfriend to stop by for a holiday hug. Since the table next to us wasn't scheduled until a half hour later they were able to join us for a libation and family visit. The staff handled our unplanned visit with enthusiasm and grace. Thank you again for another memorable evening.

We were visiting from out of state and had a friend from Europe visiting with us. We had prompt service, our server was attentive and everyone was friendly, the entrees were delicious. The option for the smaller portions on some items is appreciated. The portion size ordered was just right for everyone as we don’t like overeating or wasting food. The Smith has become one of our favorite restaurants to start our day when visiting. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with necessities. The photo booth is the best and has become tradition to visit prior to departing!

We have dined at Fiorelllo several times and have consistently enjoyed both the food and service. This time is was a Christmas dinner at the restaurant, which meant there was a festive atmosphere in addition to the usual excellent fare. Special recommendations for the Dover sole (my wife's favorite) and the veal cutlet marsala. Pricing is on the high side, but portions are large and we brought home enough of what we couldn't finish that we will have an excellent second dinner at our own dining table in the next day or so.

Such a decorative place & perfect for Christmas! Had a great time. Wish they had more vegetarian dish. Some vegetarians hot meal. But my quinoa & kale salad was very delicious so that made my night! Overall it was magical because of the ambiance!

Amazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.
