Restaurants attached to hotels tend to charge their customers for convenience; this one--part of the ultra-luxurious Essex House on Central Park South--charges for quality, atmosphere and a well-known cook in the kitchen. Formerly of Eleven Madison Park, executive chef Kerry Heffernan takes a cue from the views across the street as he creates seasonal American fare, including red snapper with celery fondue, pork belly with leeks, and lamb with rutabaga. All those greens practically require a guilt-free conclusion like chocolate millefeuille or pot de creme.

Discuss business over amazing drinks in a great space
by SusanPeters at Citysearch
I consult so I am always looking for a chic place to get drinks and discuss business. The atmosphere is open and elegant. The bar well-attended by the good looking professionals. We were comfortable and well serviced throughout the evening. Definitely a great option for the neighborhood.
- Pros: great drink menu, beautiful crowd
- Cons: not cheap, but when you want to impress...

Lovely anniversary dinner
by barrymc at Citysearch
We celebrated our anniversary here. I had the lamb chops, they were truly delicious: my wife enjoyed her lobster. The staff were all friendly & attentive, and we were brought champagne and a special dessert on account of the occasion. Top marks!
- Pros: Great food, great service, trendy open setting
- Cons: None

Central Park South just got THAT much snazzier!
by ladyl at Citysearch
What a wonderful new establish for the midtown area! The restaurant is conveniently located at the heart of Manhattan which makes it an ideal meeting place for drinks or an incredible meal. I have been to this restaurants several times and always get the pork belly. It is truly one of the best things on the menu. My friends love the kimchi lobster--a real unique that will make you rethinking how you see shellfish. Their wine list is superb and I always start by going to the bar while I wait for my friend to stroll in. Of course, make room for dessert!
- Pros: The illiustrious executive chef, Kerry Heffernan
- Cons: Hard to get a reservation, call early!
