Restaurants near West Side Studios

It was a little tricky to find the actual restaurant because it was inside of a hotel. Otherwise it was absolutely lovely. I had a party of 7. 3 of my guests arrived early, and were seated at my reserved table immediately. Junior was our server and took wonderful care of us. We ended up staying for a few hours because it was a reunion of friends and no one rushed us out. The Host actually said he loved our groups energy and welcomed us back. We had a great time. I highly recommend!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

Went here specifically because they allow corkage, and the wine service was excellent. One of the older bottles had a broken cork and they filtered the wine into a decanter for us to remove all the bits of broken cork. Excellent service overall and the steak was excellent.

Solid work lunch. Tasty food, prompt and courteous service. Nice ambiance. Lively but not too loud. Any restaurant worth eating at is expensive these days. Expect $30 salads. lol

This is something I have wanted to do since I started watching, Restaurant Stakeout, when Willie Jack Degal said, "they have the best service in the world." Everyone was, "respectful," however, as we entered, the hostesses were not "over" the top. Perhaps we were underdressed. I had high expectations. I had made the reservation back in June. The maitre d was very personable and did ask what brought us there. I explained my daughter had always wanted to visit Kleinfelds and see the Rockefeller Christmas tree. The waitress was a bit difficult to understand and seemed a bit rushed. Two of us ordered a mango margarita but received an original margarita, which we settled with. For appetizers we ordered the charred octopus which was delicious and the Jackafellar, well, lets just say the goat cheese should be replaced with another cheese or crumble. The steaks were tender but under seasoned. Definitely can share the baked potatoes(need seasoning and lots of butter) and wedge salad, which were huge! Though pricey, which we were anticipating, it was a neat experience. Not the, Pink House's food or service like we enjoyed in Savannah and other restaurants but overall, was nice. We had a good time.
