   A good place to go when in the Grand Central area. We've been here several times and always enjoy the food and service. Today's choices were a Cobb salad and a falafel burger. Kudos to a restaurant that cleans tables immediately so that customers do not have to look at others' plates left behind. Tables are not only cleaned quickly, but reset and ready to go. A very professional move and attention to detail. No dessert as $15 for a piece of cake or pie is way too high for this type of establishment. You are not a 4* restaurant.

   Just a bar trying to make an extra buck by serving breakfast. Who serves avocado toast but only on white bread. 🤦🏽

   This was a pleasant place to meet friends for brunch. The brunch menu is somewhat limited. They offer one kind of omelet, which we all had. The eggs were cooked well- not burned or browned as many places seem to do. The potatoes were nice and firm, but the flavor was bland. We had to ask for butter for the toast. Service was otherwise excellent, staff was attentive. Our biggest complaint was that it was a very cold day out and even though there is a small vestibule, the restaurant was cold. It was moderately noisy- not as loud as some places, and I suppose quieter that others. Noise level is becoming a big issue for us seniors (although it should be for everyone who will lose their hearing in all these loud environments).

   Last minute Friday night dinner reservation for 3 of us. Had drinks up on the 14th floor and then needed food. Place looked nice so we went in. Was not a mistake. Best steak I have had in a while and the peppercorn sauce was delightful so that gets a call out. Price was a little high on the drinks which drove the overall cost up and the overall value down. Overall, would happily come back here again.

   A disappointing experience after trying to getbthere forcyears. The ambiance is very nice. The food was good but overrated. Our expectations may have been too high since we've been wanting to eat there on one of our visits. My wife hated the salmon burger ate about one taste. Our server never inquired why she didn't really touch it. The burger was good, but salty. I asked for ice tea and was uphold an Arnold Palmer, which was probably the worst I've ever had. They never refilled our water the whole time we were there. The worst and most unforgivable part for me is they marked us as an OpenTable no-show. I spent more than an hour going back and forth with OpenTable, providing receipt information and then photos of the receipt. I called the restaurant only to be berated that we weren't there and didn't have a reservation. It turns out that they could not spell a simple common name like John Smith. They finally found the reservation and corrected the no-show. I specifically asked if they checked us in when we arrived and was told yes.

   While not busy, the service was very slow. The decor is old world dark and in need of refreshing. The bathrooms were not cleaned and no paper towels. The food was just average.

    Server and server assistant were the best. Our first time in New York. The server was able to suggest items and did not rush us. We relaxed and chatted. Had the Mac and cheese!! Oh my so delicious.
