A.O.C. East is a great restaurant on the upper east side. They have happy hour but should have a few choices on the wine selection during that time. Otherwise, it is a great choice and the staff are very friendly!

Great vibe to go with exceptional food and service. Only thing missing was a female presence in serving. The place attracts nice customers too. Love the risotto, tuna tartare and enjoyed the suggestions of wine pairings. There's a reason it's been around for years while other restaurants come and go.
