Restaurants near Midtown Studio Next to Times Square and Bryant Park

The food and specialty drinks were fabulous! It was very crowded due to the holiday and the service could have been better. Drinks weren’t served in a timely manner. We’ve been to this restaurant before and will come back but not during the holidays!

The food was spectacular - from appetizers through the fresh fish to the desserts. Service was excellent. The prices are a bit steep, but the experience is worth it if you can afford it. My only gripe was the noise. They could benefit from some simple noise dampening techniques (tapestries on the walls and ceilings, for example).

There were 10 of us & we had made reservations at 5 pm as we had 7 pm theater tickets. Our table was ready for us upon arrival & our waiter was friendly & on point from start to finish. Service was great without feeling rushed & his wine suggestion was perfect. The portions are huge so we started with the calamari & Caesar salad which was plenty for all of us & both very good. We chose 4 dishes, Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Scaloppine, Rigatoni & Broccoli, & Penne alla Vodka & all were delicious. We all commnted that the Penne was the best we’d had as the sauce was not too heavy & perfectly spiced. Although we could have only ordered 3 dishes, we all enjoyed the variety of the 4 choices. We finished off with cappuccinos for the table & made it to the theater with 15 minutes to spare. We couldn’t have picked a better restaurant & the bonus was it was very reasonable. Great job Carmine’s!!

My group of 4 ladies had the best experience at this restaurant. When we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation Gio was able to accommodate us and seated us. He had the most pleasant disposition. Our servers Anastasia and Chris were attentive and provided excellent service. We were even treated to song sung by Chris. Kazi the manager even stopped by our table to ask how it was going and chatted with us a bit. I highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent food and service

Breakfast at P&Q - best coffee we’ve enjoyed in years…literally. The short rib omelette was amazing and the breakfast sandwich was stellar. Toast served without butter or jams and staff was shorthanded.
