Upper Westside Restaurants NYC

Would like suggestions for an Upper Westside restaurant, preferably in high 70's, for July. Perhaps a nice spot to eat outside, but that's not mandatory. Especially like Greek and seafood, but open to any.

Have looked at the following. Any thoughts?
Isabella's
Ocean
Fishtag
Sarabeths

Kefi is Greek with a good reputation - but no outdoors. IMHO outdoors can be iffy in July - I know some people eat outside but if it's 90s and humid I stay indoors.

There seems to be two be two problems with the Soho House:

a. it is not on the UWS; and
b. It is hotel with an expensive membership fee.

Isabella's is a very mundane cafe, popular more for location than food.

So - now we understand a little more about why Dobby has all the problems he does everywhere he goes.

Can;t tell one part of the city from another - nor a restaurant from a hotel.

Now the trolling is just getting TOO obvious.

Greek + seafood = Estiatorio Milos. Reasonably priced (by NYC standards) four-course pre-theater prix-fixe menu, but it's in the mid-50s, not the upper 70s. Not a terrible walk, though. Definitely worth considering.

The OP might not know the UWS from the Meatpacking.

Ouest is pretty good place on the UWS.

Kefi would have been a good choice but it is closed indefinitely due to water damage in the building (the restaurant next door is also closed/gone) and maybe some other issues. I haven't been to Fishtag but it's from the same owner/chef.

Had a good meal about 6 weeks ago at Fishtag. I like it better than Keffi.

Not sure what some of the above comments were about, but I do know where the UWS is.

I had also looked at Keffi and was disappointed to find it was closed.

Fishtag sounds interesting.

NYTraveler, know exactly what you mean about eating outside when it's hot. Certainly not what I prefer, but was just asking in case I hit that "perfect" day. It does have to get nice and stop raining sometime.

Estiatorio Milos is also on my list to try sometime, if not this time.

Unfortunately, DH isn't able to walk the long distances that I am so used to doing in the city so that's why I was focusing on an area near our hotel.

I DO KNOW it's not UWS, but has anyone been to Merchants River House in Battery Park? The location looks great for another trip.

agree that Isabella's isn't particularly distinctive.

I liked the food at Boulud Sud, near Lincoln Center.

Boulud Sud is an excellent recommendation. We've never been disappointed there. However, it's neither exclusively seafood nor UWS. Still, definitely worth a try.

As regards walking from the upper 70s to the mid 50s or mid 60s, the obvious alternatives are cabs or the subway.

Come back off the ledge. Unless someone posts regularly it is hard to know what someone knows and does not know. What would happen if someone actually insulted you?
