Exquisite at any price – Everything that you've heard about USC is true. Every bite of the food will excite you. The service is exceptional, and the wine list reads like a wine snob's Christmas wish list. For example, the dessert menu contains '63, '77, and '85 Taylor Fladgate Porto and several vintages of Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes. As I collect various '85 port vintages, I was impressed. There is an exceptional attention to detail at USC. My companion's fish came with sliced avocado. USC has a cold smoker and smoked the avo... read more
A Twenty Year Old Allstar – Union Square Cafe is an enduring allstar. I was blown away when I heard that it was celebrating it's twenty year birthday this upcoming October. I have been dining at USC for some time now, and am continually blown away by it's consistant excellence. New Chef de Cuisine, Carmen Quagliata really knows how to cook traditional Italian Greenmarket fare, he is a perfect compliment to Michael Romano. The Bar staff and Dining Room Staff are truly caring and go out of their way to meet your needs. Now I k... read more
Good Value but Does Not Deserve Top Rankings – While the Union Square Cafe perennially sits at or close to the top of the lists of Manhattan restaurants, I am not sure if it still lives up to its superlative rankings. Certainly, the food is very good. But among the very best in NYC? I don't think so. USCs menu offerings are not unique compared to other top NYC restaurants. While I understand that USC is a "cafe", and therefore can be given some slack on issues such as the amateurish utensils, marginal decor and a robotic, un... read more
their food is always consistantly good. from start to the end. but what make this restaurant so special? management staffs offer the best service.. wait staffs are friendly but you walk into the restaurant with smiling faces of management staffs that it almost makes wait staffs look angry. i really like this restaurant . good food and great service!
Excellect food, but had to wait. – While the food was superb, my wife and I were greeted by a rude host who accused me of making a reservation at another restaurant. Went on to tell me that I did not leave my first name only for a reservation and that their restaurant only took last names. This was not the case. I was given a reservation earier in the day, by a female other than the male host, but waited for 45 minutes for my table. Very smug and pretentious. We started off on the wrong foot which left us both very uncomfort... read more
Loved it – Pretty much all I had hoped to find in one of the most successful and long-standing restaurants in NYC. Don't miss the calamari--it will set a new standard. The fettucine al tartufo was simple and delicious. Also great: the yellowfin tuna burger. Pumpkin upside down cake was a delight, and the day's special dessert, cappucino panna cotta, was a fine example of what panna cotta should be.
Excellent – The service is by far the best in the city. Extremely nice and well informed. The food is excellent. Highly recommend the venison. And don't forget to get the garlic potato chips. Make sure to save room for dessert. Incredible selection and delicious.
oonagh - London – I come to New York every year for the Marathon and spend alot of time checking restaurants on citysearch and the zagat guide. This has to be the best restaurant that I have eaten in so far. The food was fantastic and the service was just right, not too pushy. We had two bottles of wine and two courses and our meal came to about $70 each, well worth it considering that we usually spend this and above and have had meals that come nowhere near this quality.
hmmm... – Went for dinner and the service seemed a lil off compared to lunch. Pasta dishes were excellent as usual however, I had to send my entree back... it was corrected and my desert, the pear crisp, was delicious...
