Restaurants near West Side YMCA

I thought the mussels were really good, and my husband loved his steak with chimichuri. This is a good choice for a meal before a performance at Lincoln Center—prompt and good service. A little loud for my own tastes, but most restaurants are.

Great food, very fair prices, beautiful location and design.

Absolutely fantastic The food & service was spectacular

We had a terrific experience at Twin Tails and gave it five stars, which is a rare rating for us to give. The decor is elegant. The staff was attentive without being fawning and knowledgeable and articulate. The service and pacing was perfect. The individual items are all expensive, but the portions are generous, and since we had only two entrees the bill turned out beneath 100/per person (tax and one cocktail included). We had two entrees (duck and salmon pot) , one vegetable dish (long beans), one noodle dish (glass noodles) and two souffles for four people. Eating family style, that was ample food. The duck was delicious. it was beautifully presented and sufficiently different to be interesting, as was the salmon, which had a gently spicy sauce. The long beans were interesting and attractive if not particularly adventurous; the glass noodles were glossy; both sides were precisely prepared and well seasoned. The mocha and pistachio souffles were a perfect conclusion to the meal . We recalled that the French culinary influence on Vietnam was far stronger than on Thailand, and that shows up in the sauces, which brought the food a notch above regular fare. Our quibbles are minor ones-- the noise level is too high; while the decor and window views are stunning, with central park and Columbus Circle in view, entering and exiting through an upscale shopping center is somehow bad for one's digestion!

The wife and I come here every time we visit The City. Chill place. Food is great. Building is fantastic with great views. I recommend.
