"Flavorful food, a chic decor and excellent food, service make this hip new restaurant a great place to go when you want to impress a date or take an important business client out on the town." -Resident Restaurant Review

Terrific "word of mouth" via "grown-up, sophisticated" types keeps this "classy, old-fashioned" "Yorkville American" always busy" fans of its "adventurous comfort food" say "thank God it's in the middle of nowhere or else we'd never get in !" -Zagat Survey 2004

"Upbeat and elegant, forward and still nostalgic, York Grill delivers the best recipe for family, friends, romance, or business, all in one delicious and beautiful package. Restaurant Giants should take note..." - The Examiner 2010  View Less

Great Steakhouse and Super Service. A friend of mine told me about this out of the way restaurant on the upper east side. I really wasn't sure about it, but he said he really wanted to go. Well, I certainly was impressed. The staff was so nice. The owner came over to the table and treated us like family. I got a skirt steak with garlic potatoes. Usually my steak comes back undercooked when I say medium, but this was just perfect. I definitely will be back.

Delicious Brunch!. Sunday brunch in the city in the summer is always a treat because its empty. This restaurant made brunch extra special. For 20 bucks up to around 23bucks you get a drink, fruit plate, muffins/cornbread and entree. We were a party of 5, everyone was happy. Highlights: skirt steak and eggs, kobe burger, blueberry pancakes.

Portions were substanitial, service and decor delightful.

Plenty of space at the table and between tables. I hate being crowded in.

Would highly recommend brunch, will come back again.

Great Food Gracious Host. We travel 50 miles to go to the York Grill. The food is great and the restaurant is lovely. Charlie Greco is the best host in the city. Going there is like being part of the family. With all of the restaurants in the city the York Grill is where we choose to go.

Fabulous food. We were in NYC under the reason of my mother being in the hospital. Each night we had to leave the hospital by 8pm( ICU policy) We were referred to the York Grill by a close friend of the family. He was on target. We spoke with the owner Tony and with a referral of our friend he graciously held a table for us even though we had no idea what time we could be there and did not have a reservation.

The service was outstanding and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every bite was just perfection. The presentation was worthy of magazine photo print. We were so grateful of the enjoyable atmosphere and evening. It made a difficult time more bearable. Thank you for your generosity. We have shared our experience with everyone we know. The world needs more people like Tony and Charlie who go out of their way for a friend of a friend. God bless you.
