Restaurants near Back 9 at the Upper East Side Garden

This place is Phuc-ing phenomenal in every way. Was the food phenomenal? Phuc yea! Was the service exceptional? Phuc yea! Were the vibes, decor, and music on point? Phuc yea! Our party of 7 ordered almost everything on the menu and each dish was FIRE: PY Noodles, Dumplings, Broccoli Bao (my fave), Octopus, Eggplant, Chicken Wings (runner up fave), Papaya Salad, Watermelon salad, Million Dollar Rice, The Duck, The Short Rib, several orders of Tostones (because they were thin and crispy and perfection). Every single thing was fresh and delicious and every person at that dinner loved it all. Tough to find a venue that checks all the boxes and pleases a group - well this place exceeded my expectations in every way. Arionne, our server, took amazing care of us and made our experience rock solid. Get your life together and go visit this place ASAP. And when ppl ask you if it was good, you'll say the same thing as me.. Phuc yea!

I love the food. Everything was super good. Cozy and cute restaurant. Good prices.

I’m so happy I had my birthday dinner here. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the start to finish. Especially Jil and our server Cameron was so knowledgeable about the various dishes and drinks we tried. My mom started with the ume blossom for her cocktail and said it was smooth. I had the margarita verde which is sweet but spicy and delicious. To start we ordered the salmon crispy rice and that was a perfect selection. That had us wanting more. We then ordered the grilled spanish octopus which was grilled to perfection. Then Mediterranean Black Cod was the star of the table. It was so buttery and delicious. It kept slipping from my fork. We also ordered the spicy chipotle lamb chops with shiso yogurt and it was a great compliment to the black cod. For a side we had the broccolini with miso tahini and it was great. Last but not least I had the citrus olive oil cake with Greek yogurt and that was the best dessert to compliment our dinner. Overall I enjoyed my dinner and had a wonderful birthday. I definitely recommend and come back!

Awesome experience at Michael’s Genuine! Food, waitress, hostess were all outstanding! I spotted an error on menu for my favorite pricey wine ($75 vs $750) and Michael let us have it for the listed price! Will certainly return soon!

Great place, consistent delicious food. Never disappoint.
