Upland
8.4
A polished Park Avenue South New American room that’s strongest when you order in a tight, shareable arc—one bright starter, one pasta, then a main that anchors the table. It’s a reliable “bring anyone” restaurant with enough energy for nights out and enough comfort for repeat dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cacio e pepe, Little gem salad, Sausage and kale pizza
What makes it special: A crowd-pleasing New American menu that rewards tight, shareable ordering.
8.3
A modern steakhouse with French clarity—big-room polish, tableside energy, and a menu built to make groups feel like they’re doing something important. Private dining is strongest when you go classic (Caesar, a shared prime cut, one seafood moment) and let the service cadence carry the night.
Must-Try Dishes:
Prime rib, Steak frites, Tableside Caesar
What makes it special: A glamorous steakhouse night with French-leaning refinement.

Must-Try Dishes:
Assorted nigiri set, Toro-focused sushi course, Uni-forward bites

Instagram Worthy Wonders
A big, modern American room near Madison Square Park where ribs are a long-cook special: beef ribs with a sweet-heat rub and steakhouse-adjacent sides. The best experience is treating it like a composed entrée—ribs plus one crisp counterbalance—rather than stacking heavy add-ons.
Must-Try Dishes:
Eight-Hour BBQ Beef Ribs, BLACKBARN Burger, Mushroom Ravioli
What makes it special: Slow-cooked beef ribs with a chipotle-orange rub in a big-room setting.
