Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Midtown East

This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Arrived at Del Frisco Double Eagle at 4:50 for a 5:15 pm Christmas Day reservation. Checked in with hostess and let her know we were going to be a party of 5, not 6 as originally booked. "No problem, your table will be just a moment" At 5:15 I get a text that my table is ready. When I approach the hostess, she states "you booked Del Frisco Grille, not here" I questioned how she checked us in and let us stand around for 25 min. She stated, "oh well". When I inquire where Del Frisco Grille is I was told a couple of blocks away. I asked for address or directions but was told to "use my phone, it's not difficult." Fortunately, as we were walking to the Grille the hostess called to see if we were on the way. I explained what happened and she assured me that my table would be held while we bobbed and weaved through the crowds on the street. Once there it was a lovely evening. Food and service were great. Perhaps the hostesses at Double Eagle could try to be a little more patient, helpful and kinder like the girls over at The Grille.

Really tasty food, well presented by attentive waiting staff. Great setting in a handy location for Grand Central. Would go again

We appreciated the staff and the chef. We had early Christmas Eve dinner and they were very accommodating for offering outside their set menu. Food was great and the peppercorn cause was bomb.

We sat upstairs and thoroughly enjoyed our rack of lamb dinners. Despite many tables being vacant, a group of eight people on the other side of the room were discourteously noisy. Our service was less attentive than it should have been, especially given the absence of other tables for her to wait on. Nonetheless, the food was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves.
