Best Family Style Restaurants in Lincoln Square

My wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Hawksmoor last night. The ambience, service and the food were exceptional. For appetizers we had the scallops ( best dish of the night ) and the potted beef. For our main we went with the porterhouse for two and the beef fat fries. Steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were amazing. For dessert we had the pavlova and a anniversary surprise.

We had an excellent experience af Bad Roman. The babka, truffle penne luongo, short rib papparadelle, and chocolate torte were all to die for. Some of the best Italian I've had outside of Italy. And they gave my wife and I a card and a glass of champagne for our anniversary. Great experience!

It was a very busy Valentine’s Day and the staff did well keeping up. It did lack its usual personal touch but the food compensated. The “Amore” singing was a very nice holiday touch.

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

I have no complaints ! On arrival the ambiance was great, dim lighting , calm music , and a sense of class and elegance to match. Tables weren’t ready yet but we were directed to one of the bars where the drinks started our nights off perfectly! As receiving our tables 5 minutes after and food about 10 minutes after that I was shocked how fast things were moving to make accommodations. The food was to die for, the shaking steak I highly recommend as the seasonings was so savory. The sticky rice complimented it perfectly definitely giving that tai feel,while our waiter was nothing short of perfect even offering us tiramisu ahead to time so it would be received faster as it was. If you’re looking for a good date night place that isn’t too pricy but still gives out Luxury I highly recommend it there!
