Inspired Wine + Food in the Heart of Manhattan

Tempting wine lovers of every persuasion, NIOS restaurant and wine bar pays rightful homage to the grape. New world, old world, light and fruity, big and spicy, whatever your inclination, you can discover it anew at our Midtown Manhattan restaurant.

Master Sommelier Emily Wines (fittingly her real name) impresses both expert and novice with her eclectic and encompassing wine list. Come experience why Wines, currently one of only sixteen female Master Sommeliers in the world, is so admired. She provides a window into the mysterious alchemy of food and wine. Her selections perfectly complement the distinctive dishes emerging from the acclaimed kitchen.

Equally inspired are signature cocktails created by Master Mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout. Using his own creative juices and local, fresh juices in equal measure, Bezuidenhout expertly presents libations that have Manhattan cocktail lovers buzzing. Your musings about a perfect cocktail become a reality as soon as you try NIOS' Port of Manhattan or Ginger Dram.

Meanwhile, Chef De Francesca's inspired kitchen team synchronizes familiarity and innovation in every menu item. From artisanal cheeses and charcuterie to delectably shareable dishes like flatbread with chorizo and green olives to large plates like short rib melt with robbiola, crispy shallots and thyme to mouthwateringly creative desserts, we successfully reinvent American classics and regional favorites.

Joining the superb food and drink are attentive service, a comfortable and inviting atmosphere and an inspired design that mirrors the vibrant energy of the neighborhood. Adjacent to The Muse Hotel New York, near Rockefeller Center and close to countless Broadway and off-Broadway theaters, NIOS is itself a New York City destination.

Breeze in for a pre-theater meal, linger over cocktails, enjoy a casual bite or celebrate in high style in the heart of Manhattan. NIOS serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a three-course theater menu, late night dining and catering for private events at the restaurant and The Muse Hotel, next door. We also offer exclusive catering for private events and host the venerable Sommelier Smackdown monthly series in which Wines goes head-to-head with guest wine, spirits or beer experts in pairing challenges that diners get to judge.
