The salmon was so good I cried tears of joy. I had a reservation for Christmas lunch and the "herb crusted king salmon on creamy black ink risotto with cauliflower etc." was the best salmon I have ever tasted. The fried seafood scatter and apple pie were nice. The price of the food is justified because it's almost a one-to-one ratio between servers & tables inside. The Christmas atmosphere was unforgettable. All staff were personable and professional, all diners around me were clearly having a great time: Bryant Park & Grill is highly recommended.

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!

After visiting the ice skating rink at Bryant Park ,my family and I decided to have lunch here after we stumbled upon this spot. Thankfully they had an open spot for four! I was very especially impressed with how fast our food came! The food was delicious, the service was really great and the decor of the place was just gorgeous - it was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. Definitely a must visit.

If it weren't for Stephanie I would've left. Her energy is everything the icing on the cake that starts from the first impression . She gave us the best seats in the house despite being brushed off by the inside hostesses for not having a reservation and made us feel welcome. It's the holiday season greetings really do set the tone😁 Beyond that our appetizers and lunch entrees were delicious. Can't wait to try the shrimp Cobb next time and those orange drinks w the flowered I saw the ladies having.

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.

I wanted to take my mom somewhere special for her birthday, so I made a reservation at a restaurant with great reviews. The atmosphere was incredible, and the servers were so friendly. They even brought out a cake and sang for her at the end—absolutely perfect! It was an unforgettable experience. The prices are on the higher side, but the meal was worth every penny. Personally, the oysters were my absolute favorite!😍

Customer service is great! Some waiters are a little rude though. Ambiance is very beautiful. They had a Live DJ as well nice vibe. The cocktail were crafted well! Food was pretty mid for the price and for it to be a steakhouse not what I wasn’t expecting. I would come back but for the drinks and the atmosphere

Our waiter was Imani, she was so personable and sweet, Great communication! Never let my cup go below halfway and good service in a timely fashion! I would recommend asking the hostess for her to serve you! I will definitely come back just for her. She made the experience worth while! 10 out of 10!

Went here with my coworkers to get lunch. This is the second location I've been to and the line is a bit long during lunchtime but goes by quickly. Their green sauce is really good and def recommend getting a platter. The shredded beef was tender and was flavorful. The empanada esp the beef one hits every single time!
Nicole Kim - 6 months ago

I have been going to Sophie’s for years and the food never disappoints!! I got the shredded beef stew this time and it was just as good as always, especially with the green sauce, which is a little bit spicy (not too hot though). I will definitely come again.

I was extremely disappointed with our visit, the lines were long, so we thought we had hit the jackpot. There’s a few things I would change number one the lunch specials none of which include an actual meat with rice and beans. For example, one lunch special was a Cuban sandwich with a side of rice and beans which makes no sense. The way they organize the food was bad. They had rice, meats, beans, sides, all intermingled in the same section and they have two carts of food. Because the staff rush you through the line, we unfortunately ordered our food, while we were in front of the first section, so we missed out on other sides and meats available in the section closest to the register. The food was rather bland for Cuban food, I love Caribbean food and this did not hit the mark. We ordered 2 meals, 2 sodas, an empanada and stuff potato and paid over $50 way more than I expected to pay for such small portions of food.
Sandra Panton - a year ago

Excellent Cuban food! I loved the meat and the plantains in particular. I wish there was more seating for lunch, but it's still worth bringing back to your home or office.

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.

Very popular for business dinners and date nights. Excellent roll selection. Good choices of Japanese beers, sakes, and mixed drinks. Waitstaff is very helpful. At a business dinner, we had the staff bring recommendations after we explained our preferences, and the overall meal was terrific. The double tuna roll was a favorite. The mochi was okay, a bit to hard and dry inside but still fun as it was cut for the table to enjoy.
Michael McComb - a month ago

Food was great—sushi & entrees were delicious. For starters and shared plates, we ordered the Kobe Style Potstickers, all flavors of the Koi Crispy Rice, and Salmon Carpaccio. Lobster tacos were good, but didn’t stand out to me. For entrees, we ordered the Roasted Duck Breast, Miso Bronzed Black Cod, and and Grilled Lamb Chops. All tasted great, but I think my favorite was the duck breast. Our server was great, he kindly asked if we wanted them to cut up the lamb for us & they did a fantastic job cutting it into pieces so the whole table was able to easily share it. For sushi, we ordered the signature Northern Lights Roll, Double Tuna Roll, Hamachi Yuzu, and classic roll I forgot the name of. My favorite was the hamachi yuzu roll! It was a Thursday night so it was super packed and pretty hectic. I also wished we had gotten a bigger table for 6 people because I felt squished in a small booth table.

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.

Recommended by a colleague, Koi did not disappoint. I dined with a group of friends and shared a couple of appetizers and rolls. Our waitress' recommendations were spot on. To start, she recommended the Koi Crispy Rice and the Edamame Dumplings. The Koi Crispy Rice is one of their most popular dishes, prepared with spicy tuna on a crispy rice base. It was outstanding. We also ordered the Grilled Skirt Steak, the Northern Lights roll, the Hamachi Yuzu Rolls, and the sweet chili shrimp roll. The Hamachi Yuzu was a standout roll, the tuna just melts in your mouth. The service was outstanding, our waitress was highly attentive but not overbearing. The waitstaff kept the table clean and bussed. The ambiance was warm an enjoyable too. Definitely high on my list to revisit the next time I'm in Manhattan.

Celebrated a friends birthday here and this place was so amazing. The drinks were amazing! The steak was delicious! cooked absolutely perfectly. The sides were all delicious we all shared within the table. The atmosphere was really amazing. We had to wait a little bit to be seated and toward the end almost felt a little rushed which is why I give this place a 4/5 stars. Still would recommend.
Vanessa Tabora - 3 months ago

A generous 4.5 stars overall. Made a reservation the day before using Open Table. Very friendly service although not as attentive as I expect as no one checked on us during our meal and the ladies room is not well kept and was out of toilet paper in some stalls. Meal starts with a giant fluffy onion bun the size of your head to share with the table. Started with chopped salad which was perfectly dressed and mains of rib steak, rack of lamb, and Szechuan beans, baked potato, and mushroom sides. Lamb and steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were all delish, especially the Szechuan beans. The baked potato is huge and definitely shareable as are all the sides.

Probably the best meal that I can ever remember eating. My wife and I arrived just before 5 P.M. on a Saturday which was perfect timing because the restaurant quickly filled after we sat. We got the best table in the house. It's on the second floor, in the center, overlooking the rest of the restaurant. Service was impeccable. We started with an espressotini and Manhattan. Later, we shared a crab cake for our appetizer. It was light, flaky, and delicious. Our main course was the 8 oz. filet mignon with truffle sauce. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time I was eating. We will come to eat at Morton's every time we visit NYC. Thanks for the experience!

Mortons the Steakhouse on 5th Ave was busy! busy! We had a reservation for the restaurant area but changed our mind and chose to sit in the bar area to have Happy Hour Bar Bites. We ordered the (4) Petite Filet Mignon Sandwiches, (3) Wagyu Smashburger Sliders and the Original Macaroni & Cheese. It was a special celebration for our Anniversary they gave us the Mortons Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake for dessert. Everything was very delicious!

From the moment we stepped into Morton’s Steakhouse, it was clear we were in for a life changing experience. Our server, Max, embodied professionalism with his expertise and genuine attentiveness. The ribeye steak was perfection, melting in our mouths, while the mashed potatoes, chicken Christopher, asparagus, and Caesar salad harmonized beautifully. We ended with a decadent cheesecake. Morton’s didn’t just serve us dinner. They created a moment we’ll savor forever.

Their breakfast buffet is top-notch, and the wait is quick! This place runs like a well-oiled machine, thanks to the super-efficient staff. You can be in and out in under five minutes—perfect for busy mornings! Lunch can get a bit hectic with the crowds, but the staff’s impressive speed keeps your wait time to pay under five minutes. It’s a lively atmosphere, and you’ll be ready to tackle your day in no time! One suggestion: it would be even better if they offered sriracha sauce to spice things up! However, a minor criticism is the pricing; for instance, a small box of sushi costs $7.50 but has jumped to $9. A little adjustment there would make the experience even better!

This is one of those food hall kinds of places with lots of variety inside, built to deliver fast food for the people working in the area. They have pre-made, prepackaged, and also assembly food. The prepackaged food has some options that are more perishable than others. For example, the mochi I got was already moldy when I opened it. Pre-made hot food has a good selection, same as cold food. You can find steak, chicken, noodles, and lots of mixes. However, if you come at an off time, the food will have been sitting there and getting overcooked on the hot plate. Assembly food includes stations at the back of the store has options like udon noodle soup, fried rice, and the like. You pick proteins and vegetables to go with a generic base. It's inoffensive, ultimately just fills you up, but is nothing super amazing. Overall, this is a lunch staple spot for some people, but I would prefer to spend my lunch hour somewhere else.

Lovely place for breakfast in Madison Avenue! Their coffee is super delicious and always freshly brewed! I love the hazelnut coffee ☕️ as it always has amazing after taste. The place is great for families with children as there’re many options for different breakfast preferences! There is a station for freshly made sandwiches where you can get egg sandwiches A station for prepared hot food, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal and a juicing bar. If you are there don’t miss trying their peanut butter wraps!

Essen Deli on 290 Madison Avenue offers a delightful array of food options, perfect for takeout. Their buffet is a standout, featuring a wide variety of dishes that cater to diverse tastes. The salad bar is fresh and plentiful, providing numerous healthy choices. For those craving something warm and comforting, the ramen and hot food selections are excellent, with rich flavors and satisfying portions. Overall, Essen Deli is a go-to spot for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and varied meal on the go. Whether you're in the mood for something light or hearty, they have something to satisfy every craving.-- Julie P

I got the spicy beef noodle soup and the dumplings in chili oil. I thought the soup was decent. I would have preferred it spicer and there wasn't a ton of beef in it. The broth wasn't super rich, but still had decent flavors. One of my favorite things about the soup were the pickled(?) bamboo shoots. It was actually probably my favorite thing in the soup! The dumplings were really good! The chili oil was another star of the meal and I ended up added some into my soup for more spice and flavor.

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.

I can’t stress enough how incredible this food is—you have to experience it firsthand. You won’t regret it! The rolls are small but packed with hearty, flavorful fillings and wrapped in a perfectly cooked paratha. I had the Chicken Tikka Roll (9/10), Aloo Masala Roll (8/10), and Shami Kabob Roll (9.5/10), all of which were delicious, though a yogurt sauce would have been perfect to balance the spiciness. Come for lunch—it’s very busy, but the line moves quickly. There isn’t much seating as most people are picking up, but the outstanding food and efficient service make it absolutely worth visiting!

Kati Roll place on 39th Street, right next to a Sichuan spot we often go to, might seem hidden but the long line says otherwise. My Indian friend introduced me to it two years ago, praising its authenticity. It truly feels genuine—you know it’s the real deal when you’re the only foreigners in the crowd! The cooks whip up rolls in an open kitchen that’s super clean, and you can watch everything they do. We tried the unda paneer roll and the shami kebab roll, along with mango lassi and masala chai. The unda paneer was a bit of a miss for us, maybe we’re just not used to the authentic flavors yet, but the shami kebab was tasty. My son absolutely loved the lassi, and I enjoyed the chai of the right level of tea and milk flavor.

A really good place to grab some handheld lunch in midtown. The overall shop is a bit small and can get hot in the summer, but it usually smells amazing with the authentic spices that they use on all their rolls. It can be a bit pricy, but the rolls are very filling even without meat. They also serve their own Chips and drinks like lassi. Due to the bulk of their orders, please do have some patience when it is lunch rush.

This place is blessing tri state with authentic Kolkata Kathi rolls and Momo. Such an oasis in winters, you get piping hot, Kathi roll and Momo. Pure Kolkata joint vibe, as soon as you enter the place you are in Kolkata not nyc. Decent vegetarian spread in menu. If you love spices, this is the place to hit.

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!

The Red Flame Diner serves great breakfasts, are super-fast and clean. It can also be an expensive breakfast. Don’t be surprised at breakfast for 2 at $48 (French toast and 1 egg with bacon) and then the taxes and mandatory tip take you to $60. So look at the specials and be careful or ordering a la carte. Nice having a coat rack to use as some of the booths are small.

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...)!

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.

Came here for lunch on a weekday and the place was packed! Don't be fooled by the exterior - it gives the impression of being a small place but the entire restaurant is massive and has a great vibe. Even though we had a reservation, the table was ready only 20 minutes after the scheduled time. Ordered a prix fixe lunch and the food was great - had the soup of the day to start with, followed by the Grilled Solomos (salmon) and the Sokolata Kormos for dessert. The dessert was exceptional in taste and flavor - i just couldn't stop at one bite! All in all, while I loved the experience, though I'll skip the peak business lunch rush and go at a quieter time.

The engagement dinner was great. We were squished in a tiny room all the way in the back that was more suitable for 10-15 guests versus 21. The service staff were attentive and listened to guest’s requests. They were out of lobster pasta and that was announced early on. Everyone was more than pleased with their entrees. The zucchini chips were amazing! All the bread served dinner was warm and fresh. No one complained about their Salmon, Sea Bass, chicken, or pasta dishes. The portions were fair sized and filling. The cocktails were exquisite! I’d revisit them again. Parking is complicated and that’s normal for TSQ. Try the desert sampler. We were pleasantly surprised but some of the options.

It's a nice small restaurant not far from the hotel we stayed it. We were looking for a good sea food place and found this. I was glad that at this place, they also were offering fish that's fresh caught. We have ordered several appetizers and several hot dishes. We left from there full and satisfied. We liked all the fishes except the salmon felt a little dry. Service in general was good, but our hot meals got delivered a bit too late. Those are minor things, and I won't reduce my rating because of it, because overall, we were happy with everything.
