Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in MiMo / Upper East Side

This is an exceptional restaurant in every way. Great, friendly service and spectacular food. Beautiful restaurant as well. They’ve more than earned their two stars. Counter service is the way to go.

Hard to believe that we paid a lot and I still can say “we got value for our money”. The service was knowledgeable and friendly. Realizing that we had 3 children in our 3 generation party of 6 and that children at times “cannot wait” service made sure that bread and then appetizers arrived rapidly. The food as usual was outstanding from start to finish. When the staff realized that it was my birthday they added to our desert collection a birthday cake plus candle. On top of the great food we all experienced life music plus performance of talented dancers. An unforgettable night.

This was much more than going to get food for us. My wife and I were celebrating our 31st Wedding Anniversary and are massive Gordon Ramsey fans, especially the “Hells Kitchen” show from season 1 to present. We were in search of the “experience” of a dining event that I am fully confident could have only been delivered by Gordon Ramsey Hells Kitchen! It delivered on positively every level. I fully anticipated the staff to be wonderful, however, it exceeded expectations as well. The staff cared and were receptive to what they knew was a “bucket list” dinner for us and made sure our moment was positively a lifetime memory. Beef Wellington surpassed my greatest anticipations, lobster risotto (I am not a seafood person in any way) left me wishing my wallet was an endless supplier of funds to more. Toffee Pudding easily the best dessert I have had. I also had two “Smoke on the Water” drinks because as with all that I mentioned, the drink was by no means simply a beverage, it was an experience needed to filmed a second time for when my memory fails me. Thank you to the staff and management for making our Wedding Anniversary fantastic!

I had not been back here in a few months and had an incredible meal... and service was outstanding.

Pound for pound MC kitchen is the most consistent restaurant in the design district. Lunch or dinner you won’t be disappointed
