MUST VISIT IN MIDTOWN – Great location with great views! Above average food and very attentive friendly service! The crab cakes are one of the best in the city. The weekend brunch is a great value.
Great food... but – Went there a few months ago, and while the food was really good, and I was ready for it to be pricey, the one thing that bothered me was the waiter was standing in a corner watching us eat. I looked up a few times and his eyes didn't leave our table. I dunno what he thought I was going to do with the food, but that kind of weirded me out and made me decide not to eat there again. But it's great if you're a tourist I guess, so you can see Rockefellar Center.
Powered Potatoes??? – The mashed potatoes were powdered. Are you kidding? With a $35 entree and no vegatables it should at least come with real potatoes. When I complained to the snooty waiter he just gave me a blank stare like what do you expect? For a $170 bill for me, my wife and 2 kids. I expect more. The portions were tiny. Atmosphere was great. Will not return though.
A Heady Brew. – Excellent service,good food,tremendous portions,great views,economical wine list (and savvy),well managed,ice skating,and a three star chef! Unfortunately due to its' location it gets labelled, but it is worth the venture outside of your neighborhood. Anyone know of San Domenico, that NY Times three star restaurant on CPW? Well the chef that got them those three stars is running the show now and his name is Theo Schoenegger- ooh those lucky tourists!
Great Brunch! – I recently stopped for a Sunday Brunch and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and polite. I had terrific Blueberry pancakes and my friend's pasta was really good. The views are great and it made for a pleasant sunday afternoon.
Not just for tourists – As a manhattan resident, I stayed away- it was a mistake. The service was quite accomodating and well paced. It was busy(very), but the Filet Mignon was comparable in size and flavor to major steakhouses. My wife's crab cakes were quite possibly the best ever tasted. The maitre'd gave us complimentary desserts which were delish! Ask to see the 30 wines (bottles) under $30. It is a great value, and watching the ice skaters fall was a riot.
A find! – I took some friends here the other night and had a great time. We had good drinks at the bar(Martini's) along with some free finger foods. our meals as terrific, especially the Crab Ckaes, Mushroom Pasta and Prime rib. Friendly service made it an enjoyable time, with great views of the iceand Rock Center. An undiscovered treat in an otherwise over trendy city.
Great Experience – I found the wait and bar staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is consistently good.
Fun to watch the skaters fall... – Location, location, location! You can eat AND be entertained by all the fools falling down on the ice outside. The food isn't anything to write home about but the ambience is great. Its a good place to bring out-of-towners who are visiting or even to bring a client out to impress him.
