A.O.C. East is a great restaurant on the upper east side. They have happy hour but should have a few choices on the wine selection during that time. Otherwise, it is a great choice and the staff are very friendly!

Incredible food,worth the price with a beautiful interior give it a try. Order the foir goar,salmon ,and hanger steak . The steak was decent but the salmon was immaculate. The design direction of the dining room was creative and most of all beautiful.

Great vibe to go with exceptional food and service. Only thing missing was a female presence in serving. The place attracts nice customers too. Love the risotto, tuna tartare and enjoyed the suggestions of wine pairings. There's a reason it's been around for years while other restaurants come and go.
