Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Washington Heights

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.

Great food, service and ambience! Try everything. The burger was the most basic dish. Everything else is a must try! I didn't expect the mac & cheese and greens to be such a great combination.

Fantastic, friendly bar with great cocktails prior to our dinner reservation. Cozy, stylish room; attentive, friendly service; delicious food including hearty vegetable soup, wonderful, simply composed salads, and terrific fish and poultry entrees. Large portions and well priced. A lovely experience as a starter for the holiday week!

I had an exceptional dining experience at this sushi omakase restaurant. The attention to detail, both in the presentation and the flavors, was truly remarkable. Each piece of sushi was prepared with the utmost care, showcasing the chef’s incredible skill and dedication to the craft. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the pairing of flavors was both innovative and harmonious. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an unforgettable omakase experience in Fort Lee NJ , this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Excellent as always. Great food and tremendous services Thanks Jason and Tanya
