Metropolitan Cafe on 1st Avenue does not crowd you and it's quite a spacious restaurant.
On the west side, Ciao Europa on West 54th is also spacious with excellent service. I also recommend Rue 57 (on W 57th) and Molyvos, a Greek restaurant on 7th Avenue.</font>
I agree about Molyvos, but Rue 57 has not been a pleasant experience for us in the last two visits.
