Retro look
We went here for lunch and were seated promptly. Food was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Wouldn’t recommend.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and service: but Twin Peaks atmosphere! Surreal!
Booked here in advance as was concerned that as a solo diner I would struggle to get a table. Needn't have worried! Arriving at 9pm on a Monday night I went downstairs into their beautiful, capcious dining room to find only 3 other tables occupied. Weirdly, we all seemed to be seated as far from each other as possible. Having so few diners in such a large space it would have made sense to me to seat us closer together, both for the diners' ambiance and the convenience of the waiting staff. Was offered a complimentary Amuse Bouche of Butternut Squash Soup within minutes of being seated but cannot comment as cannot stand Butternut Squash. Ordered from the Prix Fixe Menu ( 3 courses for $45) the Pate de Campagne ( properly chunky : not a mousse) and Petit Fillet Mignon ( perfectly medium rare as ordered) were delicious. Left the Prix Fix for dessert and agreed a $5 adjustment to the bill as a result. It was worth it. The Manjari Chocolate Mousse was fantastic: congratulations to the pastry chef! Wine options are ok but only come by the glass or 1/2 bottle which left me feeling self-conscious. Service was brilliant: but given that there were far more staff than customers there'd really be no excuse for it to be otherwise. It would have been beneficial to the servers if the occupied tables had been closer together! Instead they had to roam around this large space merely to keep an eye on their tables. Kept expecting Kyle MacLachlan or the Log Lady to show up. Very surreal experience.

We went for the lunch special for NY Restaurant Week and ordered the shrimp and pork chop. The pork, thick as it was, was so juicy, tender and delicious that surpassed any other we had ever tasted. It left an impression on us that we would never forget.

Beautiful decor great food and rarely crowded. Even if busy tables far apart. Never noisy
Alsatian food at its best. Great bar area and bar menu
Late hotel breakfast ..for $38 !!
This has always been a great place for lunch and/or dinner so last Sunday I went there with a friend only to find out that the Sunday brunch was ..a buffet!
OK, so we start with Mimosas - not included as it turned out. An additional $16 per person! The buffet itself was plentiful but boring. There was the bacon but no scrambled eggs (turned out that you could get that at the carvery, but who new.) Well so I went to a table that was dedicated to shrimp and salmon. The shrimp were very good, the salmon not so much. Actually, the quality of the salmon was pretty bad.
Next we headed to the carvery: The nicest staff imaginable but the lamb, oh how sad! Overcooked and miserable. The same was the case with the roast ! As carvery goes this was not the best I have ever seen.
Dessert: Nice and a lot to choose from.
Coffee with the dessert, not included.
Overall: Lunch/Dinner here can always be recommend, but stay away for this overpriced, boring and expensive breakfast/lunch whatever. It's probably less expensive (or included) at your hotel.
Beautiful restaurant and bar.
Beautiful restaurant and bar. For the eagle eyed ‘Sex in the City’ fan, this place featured in the show (Season 4, Episode 2). The food and service were excellent here with unusually large portions for this kind of restaurant. The place feels classy and the food was excellent. I had the French Onion soup for starter and it was absolutely amazing. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. In fact it was a large bowl and so delicious it was a tough act to follow, so my fillet steak for a main was a bit of a let down by comparison - a tad under seasoned, which seems to be a curse of NY steaks. Our server was attentive and brilliant though - and, though I think this is just a New York thing - the food tends to fly out of the kitchen and to your table. So we were in, sat, fed and out in about an hour in total! That’s not a complaint; no one rushed us, I think we just dived in after a day touring the city. I’d definitely recommend this place though it is expensive. Probably a tad higher than the usual NY city places, but that price does come with quality service, food and setting. Unlike some of the other places in NY. Definitely worth your time to try out.

We went there for this year's Thanksgiving lunch and I was beyond reproach, both service, atmosphere and food. I went there before for dinner and it never disappointed me.
Be the first to ReplyUninspiring food in dated restaurant
This restaurant was fine. But only fine is pretty underwhelming in New York. The staff was fine, the ambiance was boring, the facilities were in need of repair and dated, and the food was so average I didn't finish any of my courses. There was little attention to detail (cocktail garnishes were odd, silverware was unpolished). I couldn't recommend it based on all the amazing food in New York.
Be the first to ReplyNice brunch!
Nice place, good food, good location. The handmade omelettes were quite good without being overly greasy like some places.
