A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

We got there about 45 minutes early for our wedding anniversary dinner and were seated within 15 minutes. Food was great, beautiful aesthetic, server helpful and friendly. Usually venues do provide some sort of celebratory dessert or plate with a wish on it and we did not receive such an item, so that was a bit disappointing even though we had put the occasion in the booking information on OpenTable. Other than that, it was a lovely but chilly evening! We did order the three course meal, which was a good value.

(From Quality Italian owners) Heard great things about this place and it definitely lived up to the hype. Really happening and busy for a Monday, good people watching, food was amazing, staff was great. We ate at the bar and started with roasted garlic babka! (Don’t miss that) then had branzino. Amazing. Will be back.

A great meal, as always at this landmark theater district mainstay. We got a great table and the wait staff could not have been nicer. My only issue is that the meatloaf is still off the menu!

The restaurant's location is unbeatable, with expansive windows framing Central Park. It feels as though the beauty of the park has been invited inside to complement the elegant, yet comfortable decor. The menu is outstanding and offers amazing cocktails. This restaurant is more than a dining spot—it's an experience. Perfect for a romantic dinner, celebratory brunch, or simply a treat for yourself, it checks every box. With its exceptional staff and unparalleled view of Central Park, it’s no wonder diners leave with full hearts and happy palates. Five stars, without question.
