I travel to many cities/countries but it seems that you always find best restaurants close to your home. Lido di Manhattan compares very favorably to the best restaurants in any city I've visited - great food, friendly service, good atmosphere, etc.
I had a dinner with few friends couple of days ago, and it was really great evening. Food was excellent. I started with Lobster Wonton Tacos - delicious! For my main course I went with Black Pepper Crusted Seared Ahi with Wasabi Beurre Blanc, Mashed Potato, and Green Beans - simply FABULOUS.
We had a fantastic bottle of Cakebread chardonnay '09 at very reasonable price. Wine selection was surprisingly good.
Finished the evening with my favorite dessert, Walnut Tart which was AWESOME.
I would definitely recommend Lido to anyone who likes good food and wine. I can't wait to go back.
