Restaurants near Howard Johnson Hotel Yorkville

Extremely friendly staff, you feel very welcomed during your time there. Food was amazing and cocktails as well!

Loved how they took care of my partners preferences even after the food was served. Our server made it right by bringing a new dish to her without any issues or shows of displeasure.

Our party loved the menu selection and everyone commented that the food was exceptional. One said he has not had food this good in a very long time. Service was 5 star Definitely will be back. Some of the items we had was the Korean Sandwich, Baked Rigatoni, Short rib and steak. All exceptiona.

We had a wonderful dinner at Osteria Giulia. The staff were warm and attentive. The atmosphere was perfectly balanced—cozy and inviting, with soft, warm lighting and candles on each table creating an intimate vibe. The clean, minimalist design added a modern and polished touch without feeling overly formal. The food was excellent. We tried the veal carpaccio, seafood pasta, and rack of lamb. The veal was tender and paired beautifully with the fried capers. The seafood pasta was perfectly cooked, and the lamb was flavorful and cooked just right. Osteria Giulia is a place I’d happily return to—it’s a great spot for a memorable meal.

I had heard many positive comments about Amal from friends and family so I decided to try it to celebrate my wedding anniversary. It was a Monday night and you would think it was Saturday night! It was so busy! The service was great and so was the food. My husband and I shared the Crispy eggplant, the Amal Hummus with tenderloin, a kebab from the Skewers and the grilled shrimp from the Mains. The portions are very generous and we were stuffed! Often times, nice restaurants skimp on the portions but not this place. Our cocktails were also really good. The Amal Espresso Martini is made with cognac and was so good. We really enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely come back!
