The Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, New York

"The hotel's Time Warner Center location leaves you spoiled for other restaurant choices (Per Se, one of the city's top tables, is just an elevator ride away), not to mention shopping and Lincoln Center's jazz outpost under the same roof"

"Asiate, the upscale restaurant located off the lobby, is a glamorous spot for brunch or dinner, and offers a menu full of contemporary cuisine and elevated comfort food"

"Asiate is a Japanese-French restaurant with a sunken seating area and nook-like booths offering stunning views of Central Park"

"The bar and restaurants offer the same view and can be quite a scene in the evening"

"Despite residing in the behemoth that is the Time Warner Center (which includes a shopping mall and a “food court” made up of some of the country’s best restaurants), it feels like an institution, with its timeless style and tasteful tributes to the Orient"

""Top of the line" rave supporters of this "modern yet elegant" Midtown luxury destination, where you'll need "money to burn" (but it's "worth it for a sophisticated New York experience"), and "everything screams opulence", from the "spectacular" Asiate restaurant and "amazing" spa to the lobby lounge with "phenomenal" views; the "state-of-the-art" rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows are "nothing short of amazing", the "exceptional" staff leaves guests feeling "cossetted" and the "lovely" location next to the Time Warner Center offers "convenient" access to "pretty much everything"

"From receiving a welcome drink upon arrival to enjoying expert wine service at Four-Star Asiate, the hotel’s signature restaurant serving upscale modern American cuisine, you’ll be pampered at every turn"

"The hotel's signature restaurant, Asiate, features floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the city's skyline"

"Sleek restaurant Asiate, with its cityscape views and glittering tree-branch ceiling sculpture, has a sumptuous seasonal menu"

"Nonstop room service, nightly turndown, daily newspapers, complimentary shoeshine and a gifted concierge who can find a last-minute table at restaurants that even New Yorkers find difficult to book are among the requisite high-end perks that come with the high price tag"
