Restaurant recommendations

Another restaurant recommendation request... I am sorry.  But I have friends coming into town late September and they've asked me for some recommendations.  They're seeing Hamilton one night and the other night is free.  So the Hamilton night - it would be best to be around the theatre district... any ideas?  And the other night can be anywhere.  They are real foodies - so looking for an extraordinary dining experience particularly on their free night. Big wine afficienados as well (hence why I'm asking you because I'm happy at a deli).  They've been to Per Se.  The only thoughts I have are Le Bernardin and Nobu.    I've recommended Buvette for brunch.  Another one on  my radar is The River Cafe.  It would score big for ambiance but I don't know what the food is like?    Want to stay in Manhattan.   any suggestions are most welcome!

Atomix in the NoMad is getting a LOT of foodie buzz. Also, check out the menus for Gabriel Kreuther, Le Coucou, Eleven Madison Park. There's a tasting menu available at 16-seat Gem, opened earlier this year by 19-year old Flynn McGarry. Advance rezzies are a must. The Four Seasons has re-opened in a new location, but I don't believe their menu has been posted yet. The restaurant that took their place is called The Grill. I haven't been but many people like it. As for River Cafe, I haven't been in a number of years. I really loved the food and ambiance, but it may not be as exotic as a dedicated foodie would prefer.

Thanks so much. Those are all great suggestions. I will pass along!

If they 're real foodies, get the heck out of the theatre district! :)

I always recommend Trattoria Trecolori, on W47th. Great Italian food at very reasonable prices.
