Uptown "up to date" restaurant

[milberg]

Restaurant recommendation for six people -- four Manhattan dwellers, and two suburbanites coming in from Westchester. The Westchesties want to go to "one of those new, trendy up to date restaurants." We are forty-somethings, married with kids, like good service, comfortable surroundings, nothing too elbow-to-elbow or rough around the edges, and preferably uptown UES OR UWS. Recommendations?

Campagnola on 74th & 1st Ave.

Telepan on 71st between Columbus and CPW

A small correction: Telepan is on 68th. http://www.telepan-ny.com/

Another UWS option is Picholine. Though it is hardly new, at the end of last year, they completely renovated the interior, giving it a more up-to-date look (instead of the previous quite traditional decor) and revamped the menu as well.
