in:Daniel vs Essential by Christophe vs Luthun (vs others?)1 pts
replying to u/Kleos-Nostos: Daniel, haven’t been there in ages, mostly because I was relatively unimpressed with the food. Haven’t been to Luthun, but hear good things. Love Essential. It’s one of the UWS’ first real deal fine dining establishments in quite some time. Their menu is inventive and well executed, I also thought their wine program was pretty great.
“I’ve had better octopus at Elea and Dagon.”

replying to u/Wonderful-Bother1321: People love to take their parents to Nice Matin. I have had a drink there, I haven’t had the food, but it looks good and the place is always packed. I also heard La Sirene is good on the same block. I just took my mother to the Georgian restaurant Saperavi and she liked it.
