kefi is great up there! there are a lot of tasty appetizers if you're into small plates - i recommend the meatballs and grilled octopus. for entrees i like the pasta w braised rabbit and the sheep's milk dumplings. also the prices are really reasonable.

I think Whym on 58th and 9th Ave. is a good choice as well - same owners as Eatery down the street. Nice vibe, good service, pretty traditional new american style food.

Sorry, just to add to Whym - try the chicken pot pie- delicious. The burger is also great as well.
If you want cheaper - Empanada Mama's has tasty treats - it's a bit further down near 51st/ 9th Ave.

you could go to casellula, on 52nd which is a great wine bar and you will definitely be there early enough to probably avoid a crowd

Kefi has lousy service, attitudinal waiters, no matter how polite you are or how early you get there so they aren't busy,it isn't around the corner from LC, and the food is, except for the meatballs, inconsistent. If you really want the Lincoln Center immediate neighborhood, here are a few suggestions for small plates/sushi etc:
The Empire Hotel has a tapas-like set up in the bar. Quite tasty and directly across from the plaza. Sushi-a-go-go may completely lack in atmosphere, but you can sit outside and have your sushi. Not bad at all. It is on Broadway right across the street from LC. Whole Foods is in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle and a resultant picnic in the park is always a good thing. Since your tonight is now last night, these are some suggestions for next time. If you had a great experience at Kefi and were not late for your performance, more power to you! I hope you had a fine meal and attended a terrific concert/ballet/show.
