Restaurant Row Reviews

With thousands of restaurants in NYC, and you are in a specific area, it is nice to have so many different eateries. Both sides of West 46th have restaurant after restaurant. Some have before theatre "price fix" menus that can save you a lot of money. Be warned there also many "tourist traps" due to the proximity to most Broadway theaters. You can save time and walk short distances to Broadway and Times Square.

We never had a bad meal or unpleasant experience. Loved it! We were delighted to never have a long wait for a table.

We ate at a Spanish restaurant, a French (La Rivage) and Italian and we were not disappointed. Walk down the street and you'll have plenty to choose from. There is a good Thai on the corner with 9th Avenue. The real find was the bar The House of Brews (which also does food but we did not eat there. The range of beers is phenomenal and the cosmopolitans are excellent. There is an extended happy hour(s) which means the cosmopolitan was $5!

Italy, Japan, Thailand, Russia, Spain or France you will find a cuisine here to satisfy the most discerning epicurean's palate. My fav is Becco.

Bangkok House.............just keeps getting better and better. Have eaten there for years, and it is a real bargain on Rest. Row.

By the time I found out that this area adjacent to Broadway even existed, it was too late to make reservations. Nevertheless, we were able to be seated at the one that doubles as a jazz club at night. The food was just okay. But, they had a decent prix fixe menu. I recommend picking your restaurant and making reservations b4 you go.

If you want to have a better choice of restaurants than the busy, mediocre chains so plentiful around Times Square check out Restaurant Row. There you'll find Italian, Cajun, Korean, and French cuisine, just to name a few.. Prices range from casual to fine-dining.

So many great restaurants to choose from - Italian, Asian, Spanish, Mexican. Enjoyable atmosphere, not over the top prices.

This place is a gem. There are probably a dozen small restaurants with a wide variety of cuisine standing shoulder to shoulder on this one block. I ate at two of the restaurants during a six night stay and both were great. It's close to the theaters (but not too close) so most of the restaurants offer a pre-theater menu. And it can get crowded. But it's a great place to go for a good meal.

The restaurants found here are all certainly adequate, but they are overpriced tourist traps. You'll find better deals and more original food if you check out some places up and down 9th Avenue.

This a great place to eat before a show. Some of the restaurants are touristy and some with local flavor. most are mid to upper range expensive.

Great place to get mediocre food prior to a Broadway show. Any genre that you crave can be found here. Even better selection if you continue towards 10th Ave

We went to the row for a wander and found a gem of an Italian right at the end of the Row. The food and service was very good and I think a family run restaurant-a bit rustic with traditional Italian decor but delicious food-salmon,steak and lots of mash and vegetables-perfect after a day sight seeing. Walk straight past all the high end eateries and you find it at the end of the Row on the right hand side as you walk away from Times Square direction. Not as impressive a facade as some the high enders but the food and ambience is great and good price overall.

Restaurant Row is in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Great mix of restaurants within a few blocks. Definitely the less touristy spots of NYC. Still...make a reservation for dinner. You never know.

The theater district has a lot of restaurants to choose from. Restaurant Row is always a go to spot to pick a place for pre theater dining. They have a variety of Italian, French, Spanish, steakhouses, pub food, Asian and even a Cajun restaurant.

We were delighted to find this foodie street online... it has a variety of restaurants for us to choose from. We decided on the Brazilian restaurant for my friend's birthday dinner. Although it's a bit far from the closest subway station, this area is still convenient for visitors because it is located close to the theatre district. However, when we were visiting it had lots constructions going on near the corner of 9th Ave, so it was surrounded by unpleasant noise pollution at that time.

Pick a place...You can't go wrong...All kinds of Cuisine from Japanese, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Burgers, BBQ, Bars, Italian...

We ate at Lattanzi before attending our Broadway play. You did not feel like a tourist here, appeared to be a favorite of locals as well. Beautiful small, elegant restaurants.

I have eaten at several of the famous, well-established restaurants on this block. If you're a first-time visitor to NYC, you will experience a piece of history & have a good meal as well. I would rate them all VG to Excellent. Open for pre-theater dinner; some offer prix-fixe menus too. Some standouts are: Le Rivage, Lattanzi, Becco & Joe Allen. Always make a reservation!

Most tourists visiting NYC stay in times Square hotels and eat at overpriced chain restaurants...Restaurant Row is located 1 block west of Times Square on 46th street between 8 & 9 ave...20+ restaurants on block attracting the theatre crowd. ..Continue west on 46th street to 9 ave...From 43rd street to 54 street on 9 Ave is hundreds of restaurants without tourist traps ...Where the locals go...

We recently saw a show and at at Becco. We ordered the Sinfonia De Paste and one of the fish specials for the night! It was delicious and the service was impeccable.

I've been to restaurant row several times during my trips ti NYC. It is a walking distance from Penn Station and has a high density of restaurants in a small area. At dinner time, many restaurants run 3-5 course meal specials at competitive prices. You can get a nice dinner for $20 a person. Most display their menus outside so you can check it out before you decide. The decision on where to go can be hard! I definitely suggest checking this out.

We found a lot of excellent restaurants around this area - so much to choose from! It is so much better than the overpriced chain restaurants in Times Square. For example, take 46th street down between 8th & 9th Avenues - this is Restaurant Row. You can find some great options. I also recommend checking out some of the other restaurants on other streets between 8th & 9th. We particularly loved Don Antonio's for Italian- especially pizza (8th & 50th) and Shake Shack for burgers (8th & 44th). Both were fantastic! You can find so many options and cuisines from all over the world in this area - Theater District & Hell's Kitchen area. Definitely check it out!

We have been to NY on several occasions now and every time we make our way back to restaurant row. The variety of restaurants, styles and flavours available are amazing - we have never yet had a bad experience in any restaurant here and would highly recommend anyone to try this area out. Only 5 mins from Times Square - how bad is that!!

Joe Allen"s is moderately price restaraunt. interesting atmosphere,with good food. The wait was very helpful, and funny. the whole experience was enjoyable.

Restaurant Row has a large selections of restaurants to choose from. It is listed as being on 46th street, but actually runs up and down 8th and 9th Streets too. The prices are more reasonable than Times Square, So it is definitely worth walking over a block or two to save money and get a bigger selection!

West 46 street is Restaurant Row, where you can find dozens of restaurants on both sides of the street. You can probably find any type of food you are interested in. Conveniently located in the theatre district.

We just happened to stay nearby; we would like to come back to NYC just to try all these different restaurants. Sorry we only had two meals on Restaurant Row.

Lots to choose from but expect to spend a lot for dinner. Fun to try to pick a place, right off Times Square, only a block long. Good for dinner before a show, but make sure you give yourself enough time to eat before the show. Most places are quite accommodating if you tell them you are going to a show.

Becco - West 46th Street New York City We heard many complements of Lidia Bastianich’s restaurant Becco on Restaurant Row in Manhattan. So recently when we had show tickets we dined at Becco. Everyone raves about the prix fixed pasta dinner for $26 (for lunch it is $21). The pasta dinner comes with either a Caesar salad or Antiposto miso. The antipasto was perfect some vegetables, a small octopus salad and a piece of fish. The antipasto was very good but is very small. You don’t want to fill up on antiposto and bread and not enjoy the main event - The Pasta. The main event. Each day there are three featured pasta dishes. The night we visited Becco the pastas were (1) Spaghetti with pesto (2) ziti with a veal Bolognese (very finely ground veal) sauce and (3) pasta shells stuffed with a delicious cheese. So basically you are paying $26 for three pasta dishes. Servers visit your table often with one of the three pastas. You can have one, two or all three and have as much as you like. I had two helpings of the Spaghetti with pesto. The first serving was much too salty but the second serving was much better. The pesto sauce was very tasty and clung to the Spaghetti perfectly but a bit too potent. Not so perfect was the ziti with a veal Bolognese sauce. It was quite bland and had no life. I have to admit that I had the ziti after the Spaghetti with pesto. Can it be that the pesto dulled the ziti? I don’t know. The pasta shells stuffed with cheese was, for me, the highlight of the dinner. The pasta shells were perfect but the cheese was creamy or should I say dreamy. When your waiter tells you the evening specials they will state very emphatically “There is no sharing.” They say that is because it is unlimited pasta. I don’t see what the problem is if one diner gets a regular entree and the other gets the pasta special and they share. Pasta is cheap and you can eat only so much. What’s the difference if you order two entrees to share or one entree and the pasta to share. As I said - you can only eat so much pasta - it is very filling and with the bread. The service was excellent. They place on the table olives, humus and a tasty bread basket. They really do serve you as much pasta as you want. You will not leave hungry (or for a few days after). As I previously said “Pasta is cheap and filling but how much can you really eat.” Wine is available by the bottle or glass. By the glass most wines were between $12-$15 (there were a few $30+). Deserts were about $9 for most items. The restaurant looks rather small from the outside. But it is deceiving - there are many rooms downstairs and more on the upper floor. Even with all the available tables, when we left Becco for the theatre, the restaurant was full.

We have eaten often on restaurant row restaurants and have always found them to be top notch. We really like Maison Sevilla and Becco's

Quiet for such a huge hotel. Service and small meals were good. The prices were a bit high. Not really a place for a long stay.

Although I was not staying inside the hotel I had ate here for dinner about 2 years ago. We enjoyed it so much we knew we wanted to return! I had the most amazing experience dining at the Row for breakfast which was mainly due to the delicious food and great waitstaff. Our service was provided by Javier which I highly recommend asking for him - as one of the waitstaff members making our lattes did a poor job (really just tasted like watered down coffee and milk) and he immediately stepped in to correct. Our food was perfect! I will definitely be visiting next time I am in town. The atmosphere is great!
