Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Chinatown

I had a fantastic experience at Nubeluz. Lindsey was a phenomenal wait staff. I proposed at this establishment and she was there to cater to every need. I’d recommend her for friendliness and attentiveness every time.

What a special night. My wife and I were celebrating an anniversary and we were looking for something with great food and a cool vibe. Cathedral didn’t disappoint with either. What an incredible space there’s nothing like it in the city. And the food was awesome. He started with the Epe baguette which was the best bread I’ve had in years and the drippings and butter were wow! We then had a famous potato chip omelette with caviar which was delicious and a real treat. We also shared the lobster salad, which was fantastic. We had a lot of trouble settling on our main, but we opted because it was a special occasion for bouliabase for 2 . It was served table side, and it was absolutely mind blowing ; all the fish were delicious and the broth and special croutons really unique. We also had a great bottle of reasonably priced Amarone recommended by Sommelier . We will definitely be back soon and not waiting for a special occasion.

Servers at the restaurant were great. So were the hostesses inside. Food and tea were delicious as always. The gal checking reservations at the entrance to the hotel to admit guests inside could use a refresher in customer service. How about welcome guests warmly with a smile? Say hello or good morning? Make eye contact? Literally anything other than the cold front she put on. Maybe she hates her job? For paying $500+ for tea time lunch you shouldn’t act like we’re inconveniencing you. She also didn’t offer the lift for my stroller and just watched us struggle carrying it up the stairs and no one grabbed the door to help. They stand on the stairs looking down on people trying to come inside like they’re better than everyone else. That part is odd.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carmine's on 44th with a large party, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish! The hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the attentive service continued throughout the evening. I spoke with the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. I highly recommend Carmine's on 44th for its fantastic food and outstanding service!

Amazing food and great service. One of the best spots in NY for a special dinner. Lower level is definitely busier and more energetic. Prices are off the charts, but food is always spot on.
