Fantastic view + Armando's exceptional service – My husband and I had brunch on July 6, 2008 as part of his birthday celebration. We were delighted to be seated in front of the bronze fountain (Statue of Prometheus) while enjoying our shrimp frittata, summer fruit plate, poached egg florentine and key lime pie. Armando was very gracious and thoughtful in his service (gave us 2 forks for the key lime pie). We returned today July 17, 2008 for lunch. To my surprise we were seated once again in front of the bronze fountain and A... read more
Tourist Trap Personified – New York working Girl takes husband out for a birthday dinner...Hoping for a little scene, we were seated in the back corner of the restaurant near the bar without a view. The place was empty. Onto drinks, we ordered Kettle one and were told they were out. "I'll try a new vodka, what's the latest???" my husband asked..."I don't know, Stoly?" the waiter replied. My husband of 6'2" orders the lobster risotto, as the waiter promises it's got a pound and 1/2 of lobster meat in it...The meal arrives as ... read more
poor service, snotty waiters – went there with my family the sunday before christmas eve. We went for a quick bite and drinks. As soon as the waiter realized that we were not having a huge meal, he was brief with us. Our food was good, but he forgot our appetizer. He never checked on us until we asked for the bill, even though he stopped by other tables around us. Very disappointing. needless to say, his tip reflected his service, which was extremely poor.
Terrible Food for an Outrageous Price – My boyfriend and I who are lifelong New Yorkers decided to venture here on a Sunday morning after craving brunch the night before. We called and the recording said they opened at 10 am for brunch. We got there at 10 and found out they open at 11 and NO BRUNCH. We were starving and after waiting on the 30 minute line of tourists we decided to just eat. We ordered a 17 dollar crab cake appetizer which was so fishy I couldn't stomach it, the risotto it came with tasted like frozen food, t... read more
Bad Food & Service...do not bother – Food was disgusting. Pasta was mush. Salmon tasted fishy. Service was beyond bad. Overpriced. Filthy bathrooms. went there for dinner and there was no one there! Waiter could barely speak English and had an attitude. How are the food & service bad when they don't have any customers! Typical corparatey gross restuarant....really cheesey. Don't waste your money.
Cozy spot with solid food – I know, all my reviews lately are "3 star" but I love this place. It's nothing "amazing" but at the same time, in a city as potentially off-putting as New York, it is. The bread is good (nice bread sticks, a few different types of bread in the basket - good rolls), the crab cakes are phenomenal (and I am a tough judge of crab cakes. These are the best or close to it that I have ever had. Good enough to go for alone? Heck yes!). While the fish part of the 'seared daily fish' in the coconut ginger b... read more
Best place for Sunday brunch! – This is my favorite place to go on Sundays for brunch. I love to watch the skaters on the ice rink while I'm eating. I haven't found a more cozy place in the city! Even better during the holidays!
Best Brunch – Went here 2 weeks ago for brunch. It was really nice, had a good sized booth. Our waiter was attentive. Food was really really really good. We got to sit and watch the ice skating outside, it was simply a beautiful sunday day in the city.
Not Just For Tourists! – i have a feeling that these is the kind of place that New Yorkers steer clear of because theyre under the notion that it's a tourist only spot. those are people that miss out! the food is WONDERFUL and you cant go wrong with a view like that-- this past we week, we were able to look on as the ice rink was undergoing its transformation. definitely a two thumbs! (and you fellow New Yorkers should definitely get out to this place!)
