Restaurants near New York Chinese Scholar's Garden

Wonderful experience. Our first time visiting this restaurant. Service was excellent. Bison meatballs and baked clams as appetizers were delicious. Rib eye steak and short rib ragu was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Desserts were excellent as well. One suggestion - our waitress saw me using my phone for light. She brought me a little lamp. It was wonderful and suggest having at all tables since it was a little dark in some areas of the restaurant. I shared it with the couple at the next table so they could see their dessert. lol! Ambiance is definitely warm and cozy feeling. Good for date nights. But a little loud.

My family and I love Panini Grill. Peter, Sal and the entire staff are beyond amazing! The food is beyond delicious and the atmosphere is gorgeous! They make every dinning experience worth the trip. We wish them amazing success on the opening of their 2nd restaurant which we will also frequent.

Food was delicious and service was excellent . Wait staff and employees were friendly and very polite. Atmosphere was very pleasant and the holiday decorations were beautiful

Fabulous!! Had the surf and turf … outstanding Staff was attentive We will be back!!!

After many evenings at Pastavino. I have not been disappointed by the food this far. There’s always a crowd that they do their best to accommodate. On our last visit, it was the first time we were harassed by the waiter regarding the amount of his tip after ignoring us for the last hour and a half we were there. How embarrassing and rude. There’s plenty of options on SI that negate the need to tolerate such behavior.
