Restaurants near Mae Grant Playground

Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

Today’s lunch experience was great. The food and drinks were all great and arrived promptly. We went early, so it wasn’t too crowded for a while, which made the noise level really manageable.

We were half an hour late since the traffic driving in from CT was terrible but they were really nice about it even though the restaurant was packed. We were going to to a program across the street and they rushed our dinner for us. Best brsnzino I’ve ever eaten.

Great food and an amazing price. So worth the trip from upper east side. The seating is comfortable and the outdoor seating is covered from the rain. We will be back!
