Restaurant Recommendations - Bryant Park Area

Will be in NYC for a weekend to see a Broadway show with the gf, looking for some good restaurant recs near Bryant Park/Murray Hill area for a nice dinner. Have heard the Murray Hill area is not the best for food so any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Why are you limiting yourself to this area when you can take a short cab ride to almost anywhere in the city?

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee

I'm not telling my personal Greek joint.   It barely has a website out in the Boros but  you still need a res for dinner on a Tuesday. None of these are bad though.  

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
