Best Historic Restaurants in Midtown East

If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

Fabulous restaurant, one of my all-time favorites in NYC! Great food, superior service, gorgeous decor, and that SPECTACULAR 360-degree rooftop view. You feel like a celebrity. This is where you go when you want to have a special dining experience. Dripping crystal chandeliers, lush foliage inside and out, and the most comfortable, cushy seating. And in the warm weather you can dine outside on chic sofas, high above the pulsating metropolis of Manhattan overlooking the uber-edgy Meatpacking district. The lobster roll is outstanding, as is the burger, and they have the best fries: try the truffle or the sweet potato. Every floor is an exqusite RH showplace, so be sure to visit all five. It doesn't get any better than this!

Iconic NYC fresh seafood dining venue- absolutely superb.Wide range of oysters and friendly ,professional and knowledgeable servers assist with dining selections . Lovely wide selection of daily fresh fish specials .A real treat to dine so comfortably in the historic Grand Central. Excellent wine list too , very reasonably priced.

Our group enjoyed a wonderful dining experience in one of New York's legendary steakhouses. Everything was prepared and timed perfectly throughout the evening and it was a pleasure to host our night out at this historic location. The service was top notch and the hand-crafted cocktails during the meal were delicious, cold and exceptional. A+ overall for our night out beginning with the Caesar salad, and spot on prepared bone in ribeye, Cajun and NY strip with amazing classic sides of onion rings, whipped potatoes and creamed spinach!! Two thumbs up and what every NY steakhouse should aspire to.

The Monterrey has a great Friday-Saturday offer on prime rib, and that was what we were seeking. What is more NYC than a classic prime rib? Lovely ambiance, great decor, lovely service. Would recommend. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great steakhouse.
