Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Van Nest

This was our second visit to Tony’s and it was even better this time around. It was only my daughter and I, so we ordered the special Chicken Parmesan with Vodka Sauce and Burrata, and a side of rigatoni with broccoli, garlic and olive oil. It was absolutely delicious! For dessert we had the mini cannolis, which were incredible. Our waiter was fantastic! The restaurant was very pretty all decorated for Christmas. The noise level in the restaurant was “energetic” and it was a little bit hard to hear the music and each other talk. But, overall this was a fabulous experience. Still one of our favorite restaurants! Be sure to make a reservation at least a few days in advance. The place is always hopping!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

Tucked into Central Park, Tavern on the Green was the perfect holiday experience to round out our Christmas in NYC trip! Cozy and festive decor paired with impeccable service and delectable food makes this a “must try” for anyone looking to soak in the magic that is Christmas in New York! I highly recommend the honey roasted fig appetizer and the pan seared scallop entree.

Service was fast and pleasant, the place was very nicely decorated and the food was delicious. We’ll be back!

Fantastic great service. Always good food never unsatisfied
