With a "stunning architecture" and "amazing food," it serves classic French brasserie fare. While service can be inconsistent, the experience is often highlighted by "excellent food and service."

    It is a beautiful restaurant, and the food is terrific (brunch). But the service was so horribly neglectful that I will never return. I have sat at the bar with two or three friends in the past and had a lovely evening. But I brought out-of-town guests, a party of eight, for brunch and was embarrassed by the service... or should I say LACK of service! And considering how empty the restaurant was, there is NO excuse! I won't be back.

    This is a great addition to Grand Central Station and my new "go to" meeting spot for business lunch in NYC. From the hostess to the servers to the bus staff, everyone was attentive and friendly. We had a great breakfast complete with a delicious homemade croissant! And the vibe is amazing. The photos give you an idea but it really is amazing. Reservations seem like a good idea. We ate on a Sat morning early and by the time we left it was bustling.

    Friends recommended this restaurant in Grand Central Terminal and it's well worth a visit. The bar area in back is stunning. Service was great, friendly and attentive. Food was good, just onion soup and a sandwich. We'll try it again for dinner.

    I've been to Grand Brasserie twice. It has a nice vibe, very mod, very chic, very convenient to transportation. However, if you are looking for a good meal, the food is just adequate. The food is pricey, so not the best value. But still, a good place to meet friends and colleagues for its central location and affluent air of success.

    Beautiful space with late night kitchen in Grand Central terminal. Service: nonexistent. Server took our order and than we literally never saw him again. Manager gave us our cocktails. Side orders for the entrees came as appetizers and then food didn’t come out for 35 minutes later. We were concerned we had been forgotten about because the server had I guess gone home. Manager closed our check out when we had finished eating. This is not service. I can understand if we were there a few minutes before close but we arrived a full hour and a half before close. You can’t run the place like a diner and then expect people to pay premium prices. It was my husbands birthday and we had just gotten off of our own restaurant shifts where we waited on people all day long. It is very disappointing that after serving hundreds of people all day long, when you yourself go out, you get no service.

    The Grand Brasserie was wonderful. The food was delicious, the service excellent but the noise level was extremely loud because there was a band playing in the station next door. However I will definitely go again and perhaps sit in the green room.
