Al Di La (on 5th Ave) and maybe Applewood. In all honesty, I didn't find Peter Lugers to be *that* upscale so I think either of those should do. I haven't eaten there but I think Rosewater is supposed to be nice...maybe others can comment. Stone Park might also be considered somewhat fancy. (And yes I am using fancy and upscale interchangeably!)
For just really awesome food and cocktails, and nice but not super fancy Fonda or Sidecar. We eat these regularly enough that I'm comfortable saying the food is way better than Peter Lugers (unless you've got somebody set on a buttery steak and potatoes.) and the service is good.
-
Also, I'm a very picky eater and can eat at any of those places, though Sidecar is by far my first choice.
For steak and potatoes kind of meal, Korzo way down 5th Ave could work. Great food, ample portions, cool space. Definitely not Lugers but I am not embarrassed to take anyone there. http://korzorestaurant.com/Dinner%20July%202011.pdf
And I almost forgot, Benchmark the steakhouse behind Loki lounge seems to go for the upscale look, vibe though I think the food is hit or miss.
-
What about Benchmark ? Is that still open ?
I'm talking about the place behind Loki Lounge...kind of difficult to find so know before you go

Oh duh -Blue Ribbon !
-
Blue Ribbon and Landmark are both good choices, and near each other if one gets the thumbs-down.
-
Blue Ribbon won the 2 person vote, so thats where i will be heading
THANK YOU!

by picky do you mean close stomach to any new taste other than "american" foods or just needs expensive foods :p?
Fight white guilt and injustice by smoking tax free guilt free Reservation Smokes or go gamble in a Native Casino.
I like to stick it to The Man, The Man happens to be Liberal in NYC(power Structure). -
