Concierge.com's insider take:
Tom Valenti, the godfather of fine dining on the Upper West Side, opened the neighborhood's first real destination restaurant, Ouest, back in 2002. In 2008, the chef offered his fans West Branch, a much more affordable option just up the street. The sprawling spot features a menu as vast as an old-fashioned Greek diner's, with choices ranging from comfort-food crowd-pleasers (a top-notch burger, the city's best fish and chips) to more daring options like braised duck gizzards with grilled duck hearts. Though the dining room, with its dark wood trim and standard-issue bistro tables, won't win any design awards, the food has across-the-board appeal, making it great for everything from a post-museum bite with the kids to a cozy weeknight dinner for two.—Jay Cheshes
