Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Garment District

Amazing food and service. Place is tiny so tables are close together, but the food and service more than make up for it.

Family friends and family converged from two states and three locations and the four of us were so happy with Stella 34 Trattoria from start to finish. I can’t rave enough about our server and am quite embarrassed that I do not remember her name but she was extremely helpful to our Spanish speaking friends, attentive and gracious and friendly and the service was mega-professional. We were made to feel welcome , allowed to visit beyond our allotted time and just comfortable from start to finish. The restaurant is beautiful with of course the signature view of the Empire State Building (I used to see that from the East Side), tranquil, clean to a fault, noise level perfect for our older crew, the food delicious, an awesome Pumpkin Margarita was enjoyed along with Prosecco. I recommend especially the giant prawns with garlic and the cauliflower with brussel sprouts appetizer. I’m Coming back for a cocktail and pizza!

What a wonderful experience my sister and I had. Food, service and ambiance were great. We had the dip tower, manti, duck burek, filet skewer, rice and brussel sprouts. Everything was superb but the duck burek was so special and was made with such finesse. Will definitely be back!

We loved Monterey! It’s a lovely restaurant conveniently located near lots of Midtown attractions. The food and beverage presentations were impressive. We had the prime rib special and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. For dessert, the Bananas Foster was prepared table side. The presentation and taste were amazing. We can’t wait to return.

So great. Relaxing, inviting and delicious. The host was so very pleasant and the server equally so. Porterhouse for 2….met the chef and DBs famous sauces. Couldn’t ask for more….
