Fancy-ish restaurant with 13-year-old DD in NYC

[Anonymous]

DD and I are going to NYC in a couple weeks. She'd like to go to a somewhat fancy restaurant. Something that would impress a young teen but would not break the bank. Maybe up to $75-100 total with tax and tip (less would be better). Suggestions, please?

Not fancy but the food is good - Max Brenner is fun.

I like Max Brenner, too.

Maybe Tao.

You might want to adjust your idea of $$$. We recently went to breakfast and had waffles, coffee, tea and our bill was over $100! And that was just breakfast! So, I would like to know where you can get a nice dinner for $100 in NYC without it being McDonalds. LOL

We enjoyed Becco with our kids, but it doesn't feel like a fancy restaurant. It's a lovely (albeit cramped and crowded) Italian restaurant. You can order their special dinner that includes salad, dessert and three kinds of pasta for something like $35pp. I highly recommend it.

What's your idea of fancy-ish?

Can you elaborate? Was it fun? Or scary? Or hokey? What ages?

Maybe Ristorante Morini? It's the fancier sibling of Osteria Morini. Split an appetizer, get some fancy pasta, maybe split a side, and indulge in dessert. Should keep you in your budget. (Don't do the $78 four course menu!)
