Where to take mom for her birthday, ideally in/close to Gramercy??

She and I have extremely different tastes when it comes to restaurants. She is all about the decor and not the food, whereas I am the opposite. Please help me find something we can both enjoy.

I’m looking for:

A warm and attractive restaurant, not too loud. She is pretty hard of hearing.
Something that feels special-occasion-y without being over-the-top fancy.
Not a tasting menu.
Vegetarian-friendly, but not a vegetarian-only restaurant.
Ideally in the 30s or lower, east or west, Manhattan only.
Any price point, any cuisine.

Much obliged!
