Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lincoln Square

We were visiting from out of state and had a friend from Europe visiting with us. We had prompt service, our server was attentive and everyone was friendly, the entrees were delicious. The option for the smaller portions on some items is appreciated. The portion size ordered was just right for everyone as we don’t like overeating or wasting food. The Smith has become one of our favorite restaurants to start our day when visiting. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with necessities. The photo booth is the best and has become tradition to visit prior to departing!

We have dined at Fiorelllo several times and have consistently enjoyed both the food and service. This time is was a Christmas dinner at the restaurant, which meant there was a festive atmosphere in addition to the usual excellent fare. Special recommendations for the Dover sole (my wife's favorite) and the veal cutlet marsala. Pricing is on the high side, but portions are large and we brought home enough of what we couldn't finish that we will have an excellent second dinner at our own dining table in the next day or so.

Reservations are a must. Crowded at the bar but much more serene in the restaurant proper. Good food reasonably priced. Seasonal menu available. We chose from both. It’s a classic. Enjoy!

I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

A very good experience for my boyfriend and I. Our expectations were greatly exceeded. The inside has a warm and comforting atmosphere, protected from the cold outside. Food great, drinks great, apps great, I would recommend to a friend.
