The Restaurant at The Sherry-Netherland

"There’s not much in the way of hotel features, but the small fitness center is well-equipped, and the adjacent restaurant is known for its wonderful Venetian fare"

"Guests, as well as New York’s chic social set, flock to Harry Cipriani, the hotel’s restaurant, for its tuna tartare, trademark bellinis, and upscale European-tinged atmosphere"

"There's "lots of history" in this 1927 "grand hotel", which "embodies old-school New York opulence" from the "great" Midtown location off Central Park to the excellent rooms and suites decked out with "warm mahogany" furnishings, marble baths and flat-screen TVs (some also throw in Park views); the lobby, modeled after the Vatican Library, boasts "beautiful architecture", and with a bustling on-site restaurant and white-glove service that's "courteous" and "professional", the "superb experience" "defines panache"

"From the same family behind the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, the classic restaurant is popular among hotel guests and Upper East Side neighbors alike"

"The hotel doesn’t have a private restaurant, but guests receive a discount at the legendary Harry Cipriani restaurant — a near replica of the Venetian original — on the ground floor"

"Celebrities who crave the spotlight will not fail to make an appearance at the restaurant while in town, but its stratospheric prices are there to make a statement (one the hotel itself seemingly endorses): If you're here to quibble about money, you are in the wrong place"
