New Yorkers!! Need restaurant recommendations in Times Square!

[RPX5]

I'm venturing into New York from Boston to take my GF to see the Rockettes Friday night, and I'd like to make some dinner reservations in the Times Square area. I don't know New York at all, but I know there are some food buffs on here. Does anyone have recommendations? We eat everything, but really we're looking for some good atmosphere. Nothing TOO expensive either, we're not looking for $100 steak or anything!

Fire away!!!

Thank you!

You have to help narrow it down for us. What type of food? Casual? Dressy? Good wine? etc...

Del Frisco's is right across the street from Radio City Music Hall. $40 steaks. Incredible place.

We're going to be pretty dressed up, tie for me, dress for her. $40 steaks sounds good to me! She really enjoys a fancy made salmon dish. LOL

Del Frisco's menu looks amazing! Any other recommendations!?

If you want a "scene" and a great meal close to Radio City, Del Frisco's is THE place to go. You're literally across the street.

Patsy's is on the west side, but it's a quick 10 minute walk across town to Radio City after dinner. It's my favorite Italian place in NYC. You won't be disappointed going here: Welcome to Patsy's Italian Restaurant Home Page

You have to be careful where you go on a Friday night for "pre-theater". Make sure you can get in/out in enough time to make it to the show and tell them when you make a reservation that you have theater tix so they don't lollygag around serving you.

Thank you for all you're help Thunder! I'll sift through the menus tomorrow and make some calls. We got tix for the 5:00 show, so I'm going to shoot for 8:00 reservations, this will give us some time to enjoy our walk through the city before dinner and not have to worry about rushing at all. I really hope the weather holds out. I was just out in Denver and they had some ugly weather. I hope it rushes its way past and leaves a couple nice days for us to enjoy the city! We're both going to play hooky from work on Friday and drive to the city, and HOPEFULLY enjoy the park, do some shopping and enjoy the night life, then saturday, do some more touring.

We ended up going to a lounge/restaurant type place called Volstead. Great appetizers and drinks, then went down around 14th street and hit up some of the places around there, like the Gaslight, where we met Mickey Rourke, lol, not many movie stars in Boston so it was cool. We weren't too hungry after the show since we went to Carnegie Deli and pigged out on Reuben sandwiches a couple hours before the show.
