Restaurants In Upper West Side

Dovetail
103 W 77th St., Upper West Side, NYIt’s rare that we actually venture up to the Upper West Side to eat out. Those treks north are usually reserved for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, chocolate chip cookies (we love Levain Bakery and Jacques Torres), and takeout essentials from Artie’s Delicatessen or Fairway. Thanks to Dovetail, there’s now another reason to make the trip.

Kefi
505 Columbus Ave., Upper West Side, NYKefi made the jump from tiny successful neighborhood restaurant to bigger successful neighborhood restaurant about two years ago. The original incarnation pre-dates this website (as does anything that’s had a second birthday), and we decided a visit to the Columbus Ave. location would do both you and us some good. We were pleased to find [...]

Barney Greengrass
541 Amsterdam Ave, Upper West Side, NYYou want to know something kind of embarrassing? I’m a Jew who grew up just outside of the city and not once had I ever eaten at Barney Greengrass until last week. Alec Baldwin & Richard Blais would be so disappointed.

Ouest
2315 Broadway, Upper West Side, NYA fixture on the Upper West Side for the last twenty years, Ouest is a clubhouse for the 65 and up crowd. Think Cabin Down Below, but for old timers. There’s also a sense of community around here. My guess is that all the gentleman ponied up to the bar come here often and know [...]

Celeste
502 Amsterdam Ave., Upper West Side, NYThis old school red sauce Southern Italian trattoria has been an UWS neighborhood staple for years. The food is definitely good and very well priced for the area, but the real reason you’re coming to Celeste is to spend some quality time with the owner. Welcome to the Carmine show people. You know his type. [...]

228 W 72nd St., Upper West Side, NYMike’s Bistro is a big deal in the world of kosher restaurants. Although its appearance might suggest differently, this is a popular special occasion spot, especially with the younger generation. The food is good, even though the decor isn’t.

Cafe Luxembourg
200 W. 70th St., Upper West Side, NYPicking a dinner spot on the UWS is a daunting task. One would think we’d be in good hands with a Lynn Wagenknecht establishment, Keith McNally’s ex-wife who also steers ship at Infatuation approved Cafe Cluny & Odeon. Not the case. Besides a couple of quality apps, this menu is beat street. it’s standard, run-of-the-mill [...]

Citrus Bar & Grill
320 Amsterdam Ave, Upper West Side, NYHuge, loud and cheesy, Citrus is the perfect representation of everything that’s wrong with restaurants in this area.

Boulud Sud
20 W. 64th St., Upper West Side, NYThis is exactly why we will never be the guys who review restaurants for a “real” publication. For three months straight, all we’ve heard from anyone with a published opinion is how incredible Boulud Sud is. Funny though, how we haven’t heard much from friends or acquaintances. That probably should have been the first sign [...]
