Best Fun Restaurants in Midtown

My husband and I are still shocked at the incredible food, ambience and service at such an incredible value. I truly cannot speak highly enough of this place. Dress Think upscale trendy. No need to wear something stuffy like a suit and tie, but absolutely come dressed in your best as you will want to fit in with the incredible decor. That being said, we saw t-shirts and floor-length gowns within a table of each other. Ambiance Absolutely iconic. To quote my friend who saw my post of the interior, "What in the aquatic maximalist extravagant gorgeousness is this?" And he's completely correct. Maximalism at its finest, giving the vibe of the most luxurious lounge/dinning room ever without feeling stuffy. Service From the second we stepped in, we were treated like royalty. We spoke with one of the owners of the restaurant who gave us all of his recommendations and some of the history of the restaurant (read about it in the menu), then were served by the lovely Kyndal. She was the perfect host for our evening... educated on the menu, kind, skilled, etc., etc. She enhanced our experience. Food We had (and recommend) the lobster tacos, the crispy rice tuna, the oxtail and bone marrow fried rice and the miso bronzed black cod. Absolutely exceptional. My husband and I had heard JK by Chef King compared to Nobu, and after having eaten there recently, we were intrigued. Completely correct. The way JK by Chef King treats their food can only be compared to our experience at Nobu. The flavors are unlike anything I've had before, and everything was cooked to perfection. My husband and I were in shock every time we took a bite. All of this plus 4 drinks (also exceptionally made, especially their take on an old fashioned), came out to under $200. We cannot wait to come back with friends. Highly, highly recommend!

Nestled in a beautifully restored historic building, Tellers offers an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends charm, elegance, and exceptional cuisine. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the breathtaking holiday decorations that added a festive glow to the already stunning ambiance. The building itself, steeped in history, sets the perfect backdrop for a truly special meal. The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted, bursting with flavor, and presented with care. Whether you’re a foodie or simply someone who enjoys a good meal, Tellers delivers on every front. The service was impeccable, striking a balance between professionalism and genuine warmth. Our server was an absolute delight—personable, funny, and attentive without being intrusive. They made us feel welcome and added a personal touch to the evening that truly elevated the experience. Tellers is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination. Whether you’re visiting for a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to a remarkable night out, this place checks every box. I can’t wait to return and experience the magic again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. This was a great experience. The service was warm and attentive. The food was full of depth and flavor, as well as being familiar and yet unexpected. I loved the interplay of Asian elements into traditional Southern/Oklahoman cuisine, such as with the main course of Chicken Fried Steak.

It was a great lunch. We had a great server. She was very attentive. It is not a cheap lunch. It’s probably in the middle of moderate, but it was a nice location for a client. Meet up.

Very pub atmosphere (at least downstairs; we didn't look upstairs), so kind of cramped and chaotic. But certainly has its charm, and the food was very good. I had the stroganoff and my husband had a burger, and we split a pretzel. I would go again under the right circumstances.
