NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 42nd Street – Bryant Park Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Omg! the place was so good! It was an accidental find for a traveller like me. I went to Bryant Park to see the Christmas lighting and it started raining and I found solace on this restaurant as it’s bang opposite to the park. It’s gorgeous from inside. We had a crab cake which was delicious and ordered seafood pasta which had clams, scallops and prawns. This one was very good too. And the best part was the dessert- called as chocolate tart but it’s actually a lava cake which was nice crunch on the outside and gooey inside. The ice cream had some crunch too. We ordered one more because it was so good…the restaurant was closing down but still they managed for us. Great service too! Will come back soon!

I strongly believe that Bryant Park Grill is worth visiting primarily for its stunning outdoor seating area. The food, in my opinion, is rather average and nothing to write home about. On the other hand, I must commend the staff for being extremely welcoming and efficient. If you plan to enjoy the outdoor seating during warmer weather, my recommendation is to arrive early for lunch. Personally, I find the food to be quite bland and definitely overpriced. However, if your goal is to savor an appetizer and a drink while taking in the views, then this is the ideal spot for you. If you're solely interested in finding food around Bryant Park, you might want to consider visiting L’Adresse American Bistro or Los Tacos 1 instead.

A Fine Dining Experience at Bryant Grill Bryant Grill provides a sophisticated dining environment with attentive service. The restaurant offers a classic American menu with well-executed dishes. The portions are generous, ensuring guests leave satisfied. While the overall experience is enjoyable, the pricing might be considered high for some. If you're seeking a reliable option for a special occasion or business dinner, Bryant Grill is a solid choice.

This was our third or fourth visit to the Bryant Park Grill, and it certainly won't be our last! We always enjoy our meals here. There is inside, outside, and garden dining. We had a party of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meals. The food is always delicious!! Conveniently located in Bryant Park, it's definitely worth a stop!!!

This place is beautiful. They had a lovely huge Xmas tree up. The tables are set perfectly. The staff are all very friendly. Our service lady was so lovely and chatty. Sadly, after placing our order we were forgotten about. Our starter wasn’t delivered for approximately 40mins. Our server did apologise & the starter was removed from our bill. The main was sooo good but it could’ve been a bit hotter. The grilled filet mignon was delicious. It cut like butter. It just needed to be hotter. The sides were hot & tasty. The dessert, the apple pie one as delicious. The chocolate one was just ok. Would love to come here again but I’m not sure as I don’t like it when people arrive after me & are fed, watered & leave before me

What an amazing night! I’m big on customer service and I honestly have no complaints. The food and drinks were delicious. Our server Rio was great! He was very attentive and made sure we had a great experience. We are definitely visiting again soon!

Went here for a bachelor party with 9 others to celebrate and have a nice steakhouse dinner. The experience started out strong, and our server was very nice and informative. As the night went on the service got worse and worse. They bait you into ordering their still Fiji water bottles and then don’t bother to continue to ask you if you’d like another, instead they keep bringing them to the table, open them, and then charge you. 5 people at our table ordered the seafood and shellfish platter for $56/ person. There wasn’t even enough food on the platter for each person to have one of each of the items. A few other people ordered additional apps that he forgot to put in, so they never got them. Overall food was okay, steak was cooked well and sides were good. But for the prices, we all agreed we had better steak before. As the night went on our server was no where to be found. He offered us espresso on the house and then forgot about it, so we waited 30 minutes. Overall not worth the almost $3k check for this “upscale” steak house. It’s unfortunate, because I will probably avoid this place in other cities now.

Loved the food and the experience. Our server Candice was attentive, accommodating and made the experience memorable. I really enjoyed the Fade to Berry and Unchained Passion cocktail. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides were amazing. Thank you Candice for pointing us in the right direction.

Amazing food and atmosphere, crowd is mixed I wouldn’t say the classiest crowd ever but then again a lot of places have mixed crowds. Definitely lots of birthdays going around when I was there. Service is absolutely excellent, met a very nice waiter called Rio who really made my night pleasant and took care of everything since I was dining solo. The beef ribs were absolutely succulent and the oysters were to die for. A bit on the expensive side but definitely worth it. The cocktail that is a signature there and that I adored contains Saint Germain (elderflower liquor) and is at the top of the cocktail list.

STK was an amazing and delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and chic, making it the perfect setting for my birthday night out. The cocktail menu was impressive, featuring a variety of unique and classic options. I tried the Award Winning Spiced Watermelon and it was expertly crafted—balanced and flavorful. Fabio was absolutely wonderful and added a personal touch to our whole experience with his friendly demeanor and recommendations. The service was another highlight of the evening. Our server, Jenn, was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had everything we needed! Overall, STK exceeded my expectations with its fantastic food, creative drinks, and exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Wanted a nice fancy meal before a Broadway show and found lambs club. The service was fantastic, as well as the drinks. The food was tasty but not amazing and for the price a bit disappointing. The steak was good but the sauce lacked, and the potato was quite small, being smaller than the onion! The desert was quite in my taste with a berry jelly.
Esther Nicol - 5 months ago

The service was incredible and the waiters were so nice. It is a really cool chill area with a fire. The buns are delicious but I don't recommend the steak tartare. The halibut and duck are so good and the desert is amazing

Arrived early for breakfast- no one in the place yet. But took 35 minutes to take our order. The place was soon packed. No coffee refills, no salt/pepper on the table, forgot our bread order, took forever to get it. Great atmosphere. Knowledge about dietary restrictions. Food was very good. Need to work on service.

This is a very nice upscale restaurant on Times Square. I had a girls dinner with my friend. We had a really nice warm welcome and pleasant experience. The staff made sure we are comfortable and attentive. They came to greet us by our name to ensure our services are taken care. Indeed, knowledgeable and would recommend us options that cater to our taste buds. Every staff were highly professional. We will definitely come back again and let people know that the food are amazing as well!

This place was superior, had brunch with a friend here recently and it blew my sticks off. The decor was splendid and modern with a huge fireplace making it feel as if I was home in my mansion eating in the living room space. This also may have been the best burger I’ve ever had and well worth the price. Drinks come just as good as they look and strong. The staff was so professional I forgot I was eating in the heart of NYC. Totally recommend this place for This wanting not only a fine dining experience but good quality, elegance and supreme taste!

They are the best location for a birthday 🥳 or special occasion. they were so understanding yesterday of the size of the group and tried to accommodate as much for us (we called weeks in advance and were super flexible), the food was incredible, everybody loved it. The vibes are right. Would recommend! Katherine helped a lot to make this possible , I can’t remember the name of the server but it was a tall male (10/12/24 7:30 pm) amazingly good service overall. Northern lights sushi was a delight. A friend ordered the lambs and fell in love with it and the pure. The vegan friends in the group also enjoyed tons with the tofu/sushi. And of course we tried the skirt steak 111/10 😻 . Appreciate it tons.

High end is no joke here. The staff was amazingly attentive and also very careful about any potential food allergies. Our table started wobbling and before we could look for someone to help, someone was already there fixing it (and fixed it quickly and well). The food was very good. The creamy shrimp tempura was not at all what I’m used to for shrimp tempura (no crunchy exterior), but it was delicious (and contrary to the supposedly spicy sauce, fortunately not spicy at all). This was a very nice experience and I wish I had been hungrier as there are many intriguing items on the menu. I look forward to trying them another time.

One of the best places that I ever been!! The food is amazing, like a boom in your mouth with each meal and the service was one of the best thing of the night and the music too, another thing that I really loved about was the dessert my fav part!! I really enjoy this place and I’m looking forward to go soon✨

The salmon and yellow tail sashimi were sensational. The tuna sushi wasn’t fresh. The dragon rolls were good. The overall atmosphere was loud and energetic. The service was a mixed bag of good at times but very slow for most of our time there.

Great atmosphere and calm vibe. Food and service were great. Our server was very knowledgeable about how we should approach our dishes and the best order to eat them in. Would recommend this location for a special occasion or celebration.

Delightful Lunch Experience. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe China. And thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The overall experience was outstanding, thanks to the delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service. Our bartender, Edward, provided exceptional care, ensuring our lunch at the bar counter was memorable. The menu offerings did not disappoint. Standouts included the savory Ma po tofu, flavorful purple and white rice, perfectly cooked string beans, and tender shredded chicken with yellow chives. The spicy cucumber appetizer, however, fell short of expectations. Instead of the anticipated spicy kick and perfect marinade balance, it consisted of fresh cucumbers topped with a few red peppers, lacking flavor and seasoning. Despite this minor misstep, I highly recommend this place. Reservations are essential, as wait times can reach 40-60 minutes. Our bill totaled $112 for two people, including six dishes and hot jasmine tea – a reasonable price for the quality and quantity. Kudos to the team for the elegant business card design, reflecting the restaurant's attention to detail. Our rating - 4.5/5. Thank you and good luck.

It's a decent place for some Chinese and it's a pretty big space so we had no trouble being seated. The food was ok but suffering from the usual pitfalls of being very oily or fatty (especially the scallion pancakes). I only got through half of my portion of pork ribs before surrendering to it in shame. A strange point I had to mention about the shiitake mushrooms stir fry is that it has an ingredient in it that somehow numbs your mouth and leaves behind a strange, dry aftertaste. It's likely I'm just too white for these ingredients but I felt it's worth mentioning for other equally melanin challenged folks who may want to visit.

Jul 24 Dinner 4 of us All very delicious food Service 9/10 quick but maybe because we are seated near the kitchen. See below. Ambience 7/10 maybe because we are seated at behind near the kitchen and under the stairs but overall the decor are nice. And the place is big inside.

We came here on weekday evening, and it’s pretty crowded and almost impossible to get a table without making reservations in advance. The food was okay - i enjoyed appetizers much more than the main dishes. Would look forward to trying other main dishes next time.

Good spot for Sichuan cuisine. Some of our favorites were the Husband & Wife Special (tripes), the Fish Blossom and the Curiously Tasty Chicken. The Eight Jewel Rice Pudding dessert was also pleasantly refreshing.

Szechuan Gourmet is a long-standing Sichuan restaurant, and its decor and atmosphere reflect its storied history. Initially, I was concerned it might lean towards Americanized “Sichuan” cuisine, but after tasting the food, I was pleasantly surprised by its authenticity. The presentation of each dish is thoughtful, showing the restaurant’s effort to stay visually appealing and up-to-date. The cold appetizer, Garden Diced Chicken in Spicy Sauce, features tender chicken immersed in rich red oil that enhances the flavor without being overly spicy. However, the chicken itself was a bit loose in texture and could have been firmer. The Beef with Silky Tofu is a bold, spicy hot dish, perfect for pairing with rice. Although the flavors are spot on, the beef itself was rather ordinary. The Trotter Soup, unfortunately, didn’t impress me. The broth lacked depth and authenticity, missing the herbal notes typically associated with traditional Sichuan soups, and the dipping sauce was just basic doubanjiang, adding little to the experience. The biggest highlight was the Roasted Chili Spiced Broth (Mao Xue Wang). This dish stood out due to its impressive variety of ingredients—fish, pork intestine, luncheon meat, beef tripe, and vegetables—all served in a beautifully designed vessel. The sheer diversity of ingredients makes it one of the most abundant versions of Mao Xue Wang I’ve had, and I highly recommend it. Overall, while Szechuan Gourmet has some areas for improvement—such as a more coordinated serving order and slightly higher-quality meats—the flavors are genuine. For a restaurant with such a long history, it’s commendable that they’ve maintained a level of authenticity in their Sichuan dishes. A satisfying experience overall.

The food is great, might be the most authentic Szechuan food you can get in Manhattan. I'm allergic to mushrooms and the waiter checked multiple times to make sure our foods do not include any mushrooms.
Nick Ye - 2 weeks ago

We really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant. We were 7 and they accommodated us without any problems. Food was delicious. Service very good as well. A very complete menu, with lots of different plates to choose from. If you are not a fan of spicy food, just make sure you order mild, since Szechuan food is known for its spiciness.
Peter Hey (RV PLANET) - 12 months ago

Great food at decent price. Very authentic szechuan delicacies at NYC!
Jae Wook Jeong - a month ago

I was surprised of bright flavour of Szechuan Gourmet Special Fried Rice because it wasn’t cooked traditionally. It had dried baby fish and baby shrimp. Also, I liked slightly spicy Jellyfish salad. It was crunchy and without seafood flavor.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Seafood and Atmosphere! My friend and I visited the Red Lobster at Times Square while on a trip from Montreal, and it was amazing! The location is perfect, right in the heart of NYC, which gave us an exciting vibe as soon as we walked in. The seafood was fresh and delicious—especially the lobster and shrimp dishes! Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits were a highlight, and we kept asking for more. It was a fun and memorable experience, and we both felt it was the perfect spot for a seafood feast while exploring the city. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Times Square who wants great seafood and a lively atmosphere

This is a really big location with an elevator and stairs to the second floor dining area. Ate here while visiting NYC. Server was pretty goood and food was decent. Manager was very friendly and even gave our table a complimentary dessert. The restaurant was clean as well.
Anthony Dixon - a month ago

We experienced a great meal with tasty lobster with nice staff. No rush with a bill on the table directly after you swallowed your last bite of food. Food was great and the drinks were very nice. My hands were very sticky so I asked if I could use the shower to clean myself, staff have never heard this before and laughed out loud. I can recommend this restaurant if you visit New York!

Lobster 🦞 was supper delicious and perfectly cooked. Cocktails were quite better than before. The best part was boiled shrimps with garlic and biscuits. Service was fast and Pratik helped us a lot. We are %100 satisfied. Everything was great 😊 so it can't be a coincidence. They do their best to provide the best service👍🏼🔥
Oya Halisoglu - 4 months ago

Decided to buy some of their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits to go. The hostess/ greeter is very nice and works quickly. She had to call someone to take my order. It took about 10 minutes for the other person to come down to take the order. After taking the order, it was another 25 minutes for the order to come out. I only ordered biscuits (no seafood). There was only one chair (that wasn't in the first floor sitting area) while waiting. You have to walk around toward the back to pay for the order. They don't accept tap to pay for payment. This includes: Apple Pay / Google Pay. You MUST have the physical card or cash to pay. They did not warn me before. There is a sign by the register in thr back. For those that were dining in and were sent to the second floor, the elevator wasn't working so they had to go up maybe 1.5/2 flights of stairs.

Delicious and affordable! The rolls are small but hearty. I ordered the unda paneer roll with paratha, $8.95. The paneer is filling, the seasoning flavorful, the paratha wrap satisfying. We swung by at 6pm on a Saturday right before the dinner rush and were able to grab a table in the back. I would definitely come back!

I tried all the 3 veg options and all tasted great, the masala chai was also flavorful. Should visit if you want some Bombay style Frankie’s.

My to-go place in NYC. Looking to grab something Indian while you are near to time square, this is your place. Wide variety of Kathi rolls - veg and non-vegetarian both. Aloo chips are 🔥, masala tea is good too. Price is reasonable, no parking place you will be able to find so plan accordingly.

Let me start by saying that the food was pretty good and flavourful but the service on the other hand was really bad. One of the server was obviously drunk and wasn’t paying attention to the customer. Took him more than 10 mins to take our empty plate. At the end we ask for the bill and after 15 mins we still haven’t received our bill another server had to give it to us cause the first one obviously forgot and was to busy talking and taking shot with his friends.

Nice cute bar. Went in here for a drink and a quick snack before our show started. Greeted by a friendly server who went above and beyond to give us our order in a timely manner. I had the margarita (think it was strawberry) and my friend had the passion drink. The frites were amazing and that mayo was out of this world. Will definitely be back again

Great beer selection and atmosphere. Frites aren’t necessarily Flemish style and they are delicious. La Chouffe and Tripel Karmeliet for beers, no questions asked, these folks know their stuff.

Very important. If you are getting the steak frittes make sure medium rare. I got medium well 👎. If not you will be eating a spare tire. The french onion soup was ehhhhh mediocre!! The moules are delicious and the beer selection is cool if u like belgian. I got the triple ipa duvel and was ok and pricy. Like the bar atmosphere and probably great to catch a soccer game.
Oscar Filipe - 6 months ago

A cosy place with Belgian beers, some of which I haven't had since I was last in Belgium. I'd say this was a treat more than somewhere I would frequently drink since (understandably) the prices are on the higher side for the fact there are some more unusual/imported beers. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.

Super fast and friendly service with a bustling atmosphere, only had to wait two minutes to sit down and the tables were constantly turning. The omelette was big and fluffy coming with home fries and an option of bread and the bacon was delicious. They even had a little coat rack in the corner!

I love diners. I don't go to NYC to eat at chain fast food, so other than the many pizza slice places (most standing room only), I consider the diners in the city to be some of the best bargains around as it includes table service and a seat and generally reliable food at a moderate price. From the outside, this doesn't have any diner vibes at all but the inside was a little better (although pretty empty overall). We hit this place at 6PM on a Friday night and immediately got a nice quiet window booth. Service was not particularly friendly but it was prompt and they checked in often and kept our glasses full. The food was reasonably priced and average quality diner food. I got a $23 omelet special which include home fries, toast, and bottomless coffee and was definitely stuffed. We were quickly (under an hour) served a full meal in the nice air conditioning for around $25 right in the heart of NYC.....I don't know I would walk many many blocks to come to this particular dine, but if you are in the area, no complaints here.

We just arrived in NYC and were absolutely famished! This hidden gem truly hit the spot. The turkey clubhouse sandwich was delicious, and I would say the best I have ever had! My sons thoroughly enjoyed their burgers and my husband loved his Greek salad. The service was wonderful. We will definitely return on future visits to NYC (maybe even again this visit...)!
Amanda Hood - 4 months ago

I like diners a lot. I'm happy to have a city full of them. Red Flame is average in a good way; you want a regular diner, no frills, not expensive with good diner food, go here. Oh, Their pastrami sandwich is pretty good. It's $12, small, but if I'm starving I get two (or the cornbeef) and double them up . Oink 🐷. Service is always friendly and staff seems jovial.

Vacation with son in NY. Having breakfast and all the food was delicious! Staff is on point, and food came out pretty quick. If in the area and hungry for breakfast anytime of day, this is the place! The have a good variety of foods made here. Won't be disappointed. Enjoy if you stop here to eat!
