Little Gem

by teej31

You will not find 67 dinners on the menu, but everything that you do find is excellent. I can't say that I have tried everything yet. The 4 different meals that I have had there have been great. I also learned that the owner is the artist of all the art work on the walls which is pretty good.

Outstanding - Classic American on Upper Eastside

by najdzioneks

This is such a welcome addition to the upper eastside of NYC. A true gem of a restaurant. A limited menu but the aim is obviously quality not quantity. The 16 oz. Natural Grazed steak from "Maine" is absolutely fantastic!!!. The whole grilled fish - delicious! And the specials and the gourmet burgers are the best in the city! Definitely a place you will come back to again and again.

• Pros: outstanding food, Classic decor, Great location
• Cons: Getting very popular!, Not a secret anymore

85th street GEM!

by epicurianne

My husband and I used to go to Cal's years ago, and I think this adorable little boite is even better. It is so intimate and elegant, just what our neighborhood needs. 343 and Ian's are among the only places I truly love in this area. The Amish chicken is delicious, and the wait staff is friendly and accomidating. My husband's steak was delightful. I highly recommend it, but be sure to make reservations to aviod long waits.

• Pros: Chicken, Steak, Ambience
• Cons: Wait
