"I like Hoexter’s for its red leather banquettes and lively bar — it feels like the Upper East Side’s answer to a downtown scene." - Hannah Towey
"Remember this revamped American bistro from the Flex Mussels team for your next easy dinner featuring plump shrimp cocktail, roast chicken, and eavesdropping on neighborhood gossip. Each of the three dining areas has a slightly different feel. If you're with a friend, sit in the slightly loungey middle room. When you're shepherding out-of-towners around the neighborhood, the back room with Victorian stars and moons makes a nice backdrop for dinner after a day of museums and park tourism." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja
"One of our favorite things about this American restaurant on the Upper East Side is their back room, which looks like a crystal-chandeliered Victorian-era abode. Take over the whole back space and eat gorgonzola garlic bread, steamed artichokes, and roasted duck breast with gooseberries." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
"This Upper East Side revival comes from Alexandra Shapiro who has reopened the restaurant her father originally helped open in the 1970s. Look for dishes like gorgonzola garlic bread, chopped salad, a smash cheeseburger, and splurges like caviar and potato chips. The room is retro with details like a black-and-white penny tile floor and tartan wallpaper, with pine, burgundy, and midnight accents." - Melissa McCart
"Eating at Hoexter’s on the Upper East Side after rush hour can be a challenge if you’re of the claustrophobic persuasion. The bar up front gets crowded, and you’ll have to say “excuse me” to the tables next to you when you go to the bathroom. But, if you’re looking for some ’70s New York nostalgia in the form of jungle print wallpaper and gorgonzola garlic bread served on branded plates, make an early reservation. Enjoy your elbow room with a side of steamed artichokes and beef carpaccio." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
