Its prime location near Grand Central makes it ideal for business meetings and breakfast. Outdoor seating is a plus in good weather.

    The atmosphere was lovely. The holiday decor was charming. The food was sub par. The Boston Lettuce Salad was like a side salad. Very small with one walnut chopped on lettuce and almost no dressing or apples. There was no blue cheese. It was like a small handful of lettuce. The pasta primavera was just ok. Not very flavorful and not much pasta. It was mostly peas. Not bad, but not good either. The server never came back after dropping off drinks until we waived her down 30 minutes after finishing for the check. It was not overly busy.

    Went with the family for dinner and our experience was mediocre. Food was bland had no seasoning. Our server Sanita was horrible! Didn’t check on us throughout the meal, didn’t ask if we needed more water/drinks nothing! She didn’t even get us water another server had to. It took her approximately 30 minutes to get back to us after giving us the drink menu to order second drinks or more appetizers by that time we didn’t want anything else. This place is definitely for tourists with the mediocre food and high prices I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    The maitre d’ was about as rude as it gets. Completely inappropriate. Otherwise was the same as it was the last 100 times I ate there. Decent.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Pershing Square for the first time, and I’m absolutely ecstatic I did! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service, food etc. exceeded all my expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and it truly made my visit special. I’ll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience and service.

    Went for a business meeting breakfast and the noise level was a little too rowdy for that, but the energy is fantastic if you’re seeking a fun, New York experience near Grand Central.
