Need more info. Big group or you + an SO? Rough budget? Manhattan vs Brooklyn?

DD1 has some good suggestions below. My personal thoughts:

Via Carota is my favorite restaurant in the city but they don’t take reservations and the wait can be 1.5-2 hours so probably not the right place for a birthday dinner. That said, their sister restaurant I Sodi is supposed to be fantastic and does take reservations

Blue Hills Manhattan location is not quite the same as the one on their farm - not sure I’d recommend that

Personally I prefer Nix over ABCV for vegetarian / vegan but my all time favorite vegan place is Kajitsu

For a really extravagant meat-centric dinner you could do the Beatrice Inn. Probably the best duck I’ve had in my life

For midrange but still really interesting, I like Atoboy and Sakagura

If you want to be way ahead of all your friends, go to Crown Shy

Frenchette, Indian Accent, Blue Hill, Per Se, 11 Madison, Le Bern, IL Soto, ABCV, Dirty Candy, Hanoi House, and Manhatta to name a few

Damn y’all fancy. I go to the Kebob shop for a birthday meal

Boqueria would be my recommendation. It’s a tapas spot. Great for groups. Just make reservations. My favorite location is in Flatiron. Soho is cool too.

99 Favor Taste hotpot at St Marks, you get it free on bday! Woopieeee love hotspots !

Marta, mailino, gramercy park tavern, the nomad, Babbo are all nice but won’t break the bank

Mailino has the worst service ever...but food is decent.

Crispo

Loved Estela!! So good. Modern American or whatever it’s called. Creative dishes executed well.

Le Coucou is great if you want French. Nice venue too. White tablecloth but people range from casual to nicely dressed.
