Some of the world's most famous restaurants wouldn't have a star to their name if it weren't for the staff. The food and the atmosphere are only part of what makes a fabulous dining experience — the rest comes down to your waiter.
So the editors at Zagat went back to their 2013 New York City Restaurants guide to see which of the high-end eateries were rated with the best service.
Just remember when you visit any one of these establishments to be prepared not only for the hefty price tag of your meal, but the 20+ percent tip at the end. Don't worry — it'll totally be worth it.
#10 Mas (farmhouse)
This West Village New American spot is still slightly under the radar, but gaining popularity thanks to its cozy atmosphere, seasonal menu, and rave-review service.
They make sure to ask about allergies and dislikes up front, so you can be confident your experience will be spot-on.
#9 Gramercy Tavern
The expensive tabs at this prix fixe-only, Michelin-starred restaurant are easily forgivable due mainly to the superb waitstaff.
They are not only knowledgeable about everything on the seasonal tasting menu, but friendly and accommodating, too.
