"Eleven Madison Park, embodying urbane sophistication, serves modern French cuisine borne of Swiss chef Daniel Humm’s obsession with simplicity and seasonal flavors, a passion that has taken this restaurant to the very top. The three-Michelin-star restaurant has been a regular presence in the top three of Elite Traveler’s Top 100 Restaurants in the World and has also been crowned the No 1 restaurant at World’s 50 Best. The restaurant’s dramatically high ceilings and magnificent Art Deco dining room offer lush views of historic Madison Square Park."

"Eleven Madison Park consistently bags a spot on top restaurant lists. Frankly, we’re not surprised: this revamped poster child of modern, sustainable American cooking is also one of only five NYC restaurants... Top ChoiceSushi in Midtown"

"American chef Daniel Rose broke significant boundaries in 2006 when he took Paris, the home of fine dining, by storm with his tiny 16-seat restaurant Spring. His modern approach to classic French techniques was a huge hit and he returned to the US and opened Le Coucou where he has brought a once stale cuisine back into the limelight. There is a significant difference between Spring and Le Coucou."

"French food is romance, and Le Coucou does it up decadently. The restaurant itself is dim and hushed -- ideal for declarations of love. With candles on the tables and caviar in Champagne beurre blanc, it’s the place to pick for celebrating, apologizing, or just showing off."

"This quiet, romantic restaurant from culinary superstar Jean-Georges Vongerichten is loaded with awards: two Michelin stars, four New York Times stars, five diamonds from AAA and a coveted spot on the list of Les Grandes Tables du Monde. To rival these accolades are the spectacular views of Columbus Circle through the restaurant’s huge windows. Private dining and buyouts of the main dining room are available for a more exclusive experience in this world-renowned restaurant."

"Restaurants French Upper West Side. Unlike so many of its vaunted peers, Jean Georges has not become a shadow of itself: The top-rated food is still breathtaking. A velvety foie gras terrine with spiced fig jam is coated in a thin brûlée shell; a more ascetic dish of green asparagus with rich morels showcases the vegetables’ essence."

"Restaurants French Midtown East. New York’s haute French dinosaurs (including Lutece, La Cote Basque and La Caravelle) have basically gone extinct over the past few years. La Grenouille, which opened in 1962, is the last survivor, a window to when stuffy waiters and chateaubriand were considered the highest form of dining."

"The soufflés at La Grenouille are just as iconic as the Midtown French restaurant itself. The pillowy, eggy dessert switches its flavors, but has come in is pistachio, espresso, white dark chocolate, pear, and passion fruit varieties."

"SInce 1962, La Grenouille has drawn the world's biggest film, music, and artists to their doors on East 52nd Street. Pretend to rub elbows with Mick Jagger, Sophia Loren, Salvador ..."

"Surf and turf with poached lobster and filet mignon are among Ocean Prime’s specialties. Located on the same avenue of The Modern (a two-starred Michelin restaurant we went to celebrate my best pal’s birthday) and MoMA, Ocean Prime is one of those places where you go before watching a Broadway show or bring your clients to sign a big deal - classy, sophisticated, and modern with world-class food and a fantastic wine list. They are famous for their seafood and perfectly grilled steaks, but it is the seafood that stands out."

"Located in the heart of Manhattan, Ocean Prime serves up tasty seafood dishes, prime cuts of steaks, and signature cocktails. They have a very large menu but don’t let that intimidate you. Some of the popular dishes are their Lobster Rolls, Lobster Bisque and their Lobster Mashed Potatoes."

"Sitting on a corner in SoHo is Aquagrill, which has the atmosphere of an upscale seaside restaurant, says Gayot. Executive chef-owner Jeremy Marshall’s bouillabaisse is considered one of the best in the city. You should also pay attention to the chef’s specials, which include both traditional seafood dishes and some more exotic options."

"As its name implies, Aquagrill is as much for diners as it is for drinkers. The seafood dishes—including 25 daily oyster varieties, spicy tuna tartare, and truffle-crusted cod—pair perfectly with the restaurant’s extensive selection of white and red wines, champagne, sake, and cocktails."

"Came in on a weekend without a reservation and Christopher went out of his way to put together a table for us so th..."
