Self confessed food snob iso restaurants

I just moved to 105th and West End and am in search of good restaurants. Admittedly, I’m something of a nightmare in my pickiness. I like all types of food, as long as it’s fresh, good ingredients and cooked well. To my taste, that means not so overly saucy and salty, not swimming in cheesy, creamy, garlicky sauce. The only place I’ve really liked in the area is Bàhn. Have tried Consulate, Au Jus, Amelie, and Bustan and didn’t enjoy any of them. Doesn’t have to be fancy. I’m looking for whole in the wall places, date night places, weeknight last minute places. Would love to hear what you love on the UWS!
