Isabelle's Osteria

"There will be 50 percent off all Champagne, and a DJ at this popular Gramercy gathering place which will serve a la carte dishes until 8:45 p.m., and a $125 menu from 9 p.m. on.  Among the offerings: starters of scallop crudo with celery root and fermented chili; roasted cauliflower with poached egg and smoked trout roe; and tuna tartar with pomegranate, kumquat and jalapeno; entrees including filet mignon with foie butter; truffle risotto with stracciatella; braised lamb with Parmesan polenta; and swordfish with artichoke, tomato, and escarole; and desserts like sheep milk ricotta with honeycomb and caramelized fig." - Eater Staff, Beth Landman

"Bottles of American wine are half price every Thanksgiving at this warm and welcoming Flatiron osteria where the $85 holiday prix fixe kicks off with such beginnings as burrata with fig and pomegranate, lobster bisque, tuna tartare, and cauliflower with meyer lemon and shishitos.  In addition to roasted turkey with sides, entrees include filet mignon, risotto with butternut squash and stracciatella, roasted salmon with lentils and sofrito, mushroom lasagna, and chicken Milanese. Don’t miss the cranberry and apple crisp with vanilla gelato." - Beth Landman

"Oenophiles will savor the extensive and well-priced wine list at this upbeat Italian, helmed by chef James Tracey, who stayed in the Gramercy neighborhood after stints at Craft and Gramercy Tavern. Choose the inviting interior, or the well-heated outdoor veranda, and tuck into a $125 menu that includes crispy artichoke; truffle burrata with roasted mushrooms and balsamic; branzino with fregola and fennel broth; pork chop with polenta and braised greens; and chocolate flan with caramel and peanuts." - Beth Landman

"Isabelle’s is still holding holiday events, requiring attendees to follow health protocols like negative tests and temperature checks." - Erika Adams

"Specials like buffalo mozzarella with an ounce of Russian ossetra and lobster fra diavolo with spaghetti are the star attractions at this popular Mediterranean restaurant in Flatiron, which also has a heated outdoor shed. An a la carte menu includes a grain salad with butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, feta, and lemon vinaigrette; mushroom lasagna; braised lamb with farro; and prawns with shishito peppers." - Beth Landman
