Restaurants near Irving Plaza

Wonderful food for delicious lunch w friends. No noise problem but cramped space.

Sarah welcomed us and took some fun pictures of us around the beautiful tree and decorations. Adrianne was super attentive and offered great recommendations. I have been coming here for so many different occasions: work lunches, dinners, personal meet ups and today our first anniversary. The drinks were delicious. The food tasted like we were in Paris and the service was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful evening and of course - we will be back! I recommend the Coq au vin and the steak au poivre! The profiteroles and the cheesesteak were to die for with the amazing sauces on top.

The food was incredible . Umami for sure. The staff was also amazing. The woman who seated and served us was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in the restaurant at once. She ran that room like a pro to say the least. It was New Year's day as well the place was packed on a holiday and the staff was taking care of a full restaurant and take-out orders that seemed non stop for the 90 minutes we were there. They earned and deserved the Michelin star. And I loved the sketches of the restaurant that were hung throughout the restaurant among the many old photos . Will definitely be back soon.

While some places lose it over time, Barbounia only continues to get better and better. The dishes are varied and spectacular and it is truly a treat to eat there.

The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.
