Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Tuckahoe

Great food great service, but the restaurant was very crowded and music was too loud. This was on Valentine’s Day.

We went to George on Valentine's Day. It was not crowded -- it was an early dinner because we had show tickets. The dining area filled before we left. The restaurant is cozy on a cold night, and there was a lovely fireplace in the main room. It's not one of those high-ceiling noisy places -- it's really like one's own dining room where there is quiet conversation. Staff was especially attentive and professional. We started with a plate of fresh oysters.The specials were interesting, and it was hard to choose. We both had sole cooked in different ways. Delicious! The fresh broccoli spears were perfectly al dente. The dessert menu was large and tempting, but I had lemon sorbet since most restaurants do not offer it. I also had a lovely Sangiovese wine. The bar area was a bit more casual in atmosphere, but still a great "date night" destination. Plenty of parking.

I am never disappointed by the service or the food at Lombardo’s. My only comment would be that the acoustics in the room are not great and it can be very loud and noisy.

It's a great place for brunch. The food was excellent as well as the service was attentive to our needs. It's definitely a place to visit for brunch again
