Best Cosy Restaurants in Morningside Heights

The restaurant’s interior is stunning, but for larger groups, you may be seated in an outdoor area. While the outdoor space is decent, it doesn’t quite match the ambiance of the inside. It is equipped with space heaters, but it was still a bit chilly during our visit. We requested to be moved indoors, and the staff was very accommodating, relocating us inside as space allowed. This, of course, depends on availability, and we were fortunate that there was room for our group of eight. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special by providing a birthday card for my niece and presenting her cake with a candle. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant 100%!

Very nice spot for a casual and laid back date night. The service was very good. Drinks well made. The small plates were delicious. I recommend the prosciutto flatbread. They even had live music. Very much enjoyed myself.

Food was well prepared and the service was spot on. Will be back in the future. Great family experience .

We had the most amazing time at Aunt Jake's Pasta Making Experience. From the moment we arrived, I just knew it was going to be fun! The chef who taught us about pasta was funny yet informative; the atmosphere was cozy; the staff was friendly and attentive; and the food was delicious. The process was easy to understand and very well organized. What a great date and a wonderful way to start the new year. Highly highly highly recommend! :)

Incredible every time. The best martini in New York. Fabulous service. Food was delicious. I look forward to coming back to Hoexter’s again and again.
