Quality Bistro

"“It's not necessarily removed, but it's slightly off the beaten path—it's not right in Times Square, it's not Restaurant Row, but it’s close enough that it's really convenient for theater. It's where I go when I'm having someone I want to take to a proper dinner, or out on the town, or family from out of town visiting who are wanting a nice meal but want to stay in the neighborhood. I love a steakhouse vibe. It’s [my fiancé Noah Galvin’s] favorite type of menu and Quality Bistro is very much adjacent to that and it's just really yummy. And it’s pretty inside and they have really good martinis and good steak and good vibes. " - brennan carley

"Maybe you need to suddenly find a dinner spot for a handful of clients, or maybe you just want to get a bunch of friends together at a place with gold accents, potted plants, and framed pictures of birds everywhere. Go to Quality Bistro, the massive Midtown restaurant from the people behind Zou Zou’s and Don Angie. They have several different loud, dark rooms to sit in, and the French-leaning menu has everything from lobster toast and Dover sole to a filet mignon that you can top with a king crab crêpe." - team infatuation

"Quality Bistro, located in Midtown Manhattan, offers a unique Butter Service Garni. The service includes a large mound of butter served tableside along with Filone bread from Sullivan Street Bakery, tangy cornichons, radishes, jambon cuit, rounds of leek in vinaigrette, mushroom duxelles, and hachée basquaise. This service was inspired by Restaurant Allard in Paris and uses cream from Battenkill Valley Creamery to create a special whipped, tangy butter. The full experience is practically a meal on its own." - Bridget Hallinan

"From noon-9pm on Thanksgiving, you can sit on the covered and heated outdoor patio, or inside the gold-clad dining room at this Midtown French spot. Debate between ordering escargots and dry-aged cote de beouf, or roasted turkey with all the fixings while you peruse the 400-bottle French wine list." - team infatuation

"The women, now including Seema because a three-top throws off the entire balance of a table and a scene, meet for dinner at jewel-toned, pre-pandemic hot spot Quality Bistro." - Madeleine Davies
