I visited at Cafe la Fortunate for a couple times. I did recording audio tour this place.
My impression in this place is nothing special except the favorite place of John Lennon & Yoko. It is a cafe where you can find in little Italy or in East Village where serving light snacks $ Italian sweets in the menu. You can not expect any fancy foods and romantic environment here. It is very dark inside, and there is garden seats. You can listen to the Opera music all the time. The weekend is more people, but it is quiet in regular days. Chairs are not comfortable.

Cafe Ronda is serving Argentine foods, but I confused what is Argentina Cuisine in this place.
Anyway this place is opened from morning to midnight. There are morning menu, lunch menu, and dinner menu everyday. It is reasonably priced tapas and good foods, such as Emanadas $7.50, Seafood Paella $22, and steaks $28. Wines are from Argentina, Spain, and domestic U.S. The interior is painted in ochre color and it has exotic wall sconces and ceiling lights. The Space is a little tight in weekends. Serving area is not large.

Cafe Luxembourg is a french bistro. New York bistros are more expensive than those are in Paris.
I really like atmosphere and interiors in this space. The service is very comfortable. The menu is mixed American and French. The ingredients are well selected and decorated in the plate. The volume of foods is not large. If you are looking for nouvelle cuisines and the restaurant like Balthazar in Soho, this is the place you can come and spend in UWS.
The entree menu costs about $ 28 and above. Wine is $9 - $15 a glass. The customers seem like in their thirties and above. The serving people is younger. Prix-Fixe Dinner which included appetizer, Entrees, Deserts, and Coffer/Tea is $ 42 everyday and served from 5:30pm to 7 pm. Better make appointment for dinner & brunch.

Arte Cafe has a large seating area and a bar. It can serve more than 100 people. Menu and atmosphere are great. I was so surprised that there is good variety of Italian and American foods in the menu. I like sea foods, such as Fried Scallops $ 19, Linguine and sea foods $17. Oven-brick pizza is crispy and good, too, price $12-$15. Prix Fixe Dinner which serving from 4 PM-6 PM is very reasonable from $13.99- up includes salad, Entree, dessert, and Tea/Coffee. I can choose any entrees, but the price is added $1-$5 depends on the entree you order. Service is comfortable, and the decor is good. You can bring your parents or relative, too. Large group is OK. I recommend to everybody.

Just steps from the Museum of Natural History and the History Museum of New York. Interior is a French Bistro type. The Small bar is near the entrance and lots of serving people in weekend.
Food, Service, Menu are good. It is very busy on weekend. Sunday Brunch is reasonable, $10-$18, includes drink, entree, and Coffee/Tea. I ordered Bloody Mary and Crab-cake Benedict on Sunday Brunch, $ 13.50. Dinner serve after 5:30 pm and good place to bring your boy/girl friends.
It is not intimate. Sometimes it is filled with tourist.

Yoko maybe you don't need to write an introduction to the reviews. Watch out for some grammatical mistakes (like "the week end there is maore people" in the second one) ! Read them over one more time to correct them if you can.
Hi Yoko, I think you are great in writing everything using short phrases. That it makes the reading not boring. I also suggest you to check the grammar and yes, you can avoid the little introduction in the beginning.
