Had brunch today with my husband and so glad we made a reservation here. Love the atmosphere, and really nice color scheme (black, white and ruby red). Menu definitely unique with a good selection, full coffee and cocktail menu as well. My Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious and our food came out fast and hot. Our server Brenda was super sweet and attentive, also gave great recommendations as well. We will definitely come back and maybe check out the dinner menu next time we are heading to the refinery hotel.

Pretty cool restaurant in the midtown area. The food was fine. No complaints. I ordered the lamb ragu, which came with a fairly generous serving. They have a decent selection of beers on tap. Service was okay too. The waiter did take my plate which was still about 1/3 full without confirming, which was a little odd.

We had a wonderful dinner celebrating 10 years of marriage. The waiter surprised us with champagne and an incredible cheesecake dessert at the end of our meal. Such a nice touch and made the dinner special.

I got the waffle and the diner breakfast. I order the cappuccino also. I had to add more sugar to my drink since I like my drink sweet. The waffle was filling. The waitress was friendly. I like the vibe here because the seating is unique. Overall the food was good. Another good thing is that they open early.

My husband and I had an anniversary celebration dinner at Parker & Quinn. From the start the staff was friendly and personable. We were surprised with complimentary glasses of champagne. The meal was exquisite and the service was exceptional. Our waiter Cory was very attentive courteous!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere! Great customer service too. I come almost every time I visit NYC.

Stopped in for a nice dinner before Aladdin and quickly discovered why P & Q averages more than 4 on yelp. We got there a few mins before our res and they were able to seat us early which started the night on the right foot. We were seated in one of their elevated booths, which gave a really neat perspective as we could see the whole inside of the dining room as well as the open kitchen. The dining room filled up rapidly after we arrived, so I'm glad we had a res! We were greeted promptly by our server, Dorian, who was just as available and timely throughout our service. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything just the way we like it; a true consummate professional. We split the calamari and each had an entree. I had the French dip, wife had the grilled cheese/tomato soup and kids had the meatballs. Everything was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, and had a perfect sauce accompanying the dish. Once again, the kind of professional qualities you expect at this level.

We've been to Parker & Quinn several times, but our last time was extremely disappointing in terms of service. It took 25 minutes for a waiter to come by and take our order. We asked bus boys and another waiter if someone can take our order, but no one did. We had a hungry toddler with us, so we were about to leave when she finally came by. At the same time, the table next to us had their own customer service issue. They were persistently asking if the restaurant can make a child some French Toast without dairy and after several back-and-forths with the server, kitchen, and manager, they were not accommodated and had to leave. Do your due diligence if you have any food allergies. Note, that the menu in person was very different than on their website. You may want to call to confirm if they can accommodate your allergy. The parents should have done so, but it seems like a simple enough request. At this point, the restaurant was mostly empty, as well. When we were ready to leave, the restaurant was getting busy. Throughout our meal, our server checked on us once, but when it was time to leave it was a challenge to get our check. My husband ended up staying behind to pay, because our toddler had enough. We were there for just under 2 hours. I only took down 1 star, because our prior experiences were significantly better. Granted, we didn't have a child with us, but service was okay and the food was excellent every single time. They used to have a delicious salad on their menu, which is no longer there, but the seasoning was on point! The Tomato Bacon Bisque is seasoned well and has a great consistency. Classically, goes well with the Grilled Cheese. I'm not a big fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, but this one changed my mind. It's not greasy with congealed cheese like most places. The Malted Waffle and French Toast were classics done exceptionally well with nuanced flavors. The Acai bowl was good, but boring compared to the other dishes. Fruits are fresh and it was very enjoyable as a healthier option. We love staying at the Refinery Hotel, so Parker & Quinn is convenient and delicious. We hope the service improves, because we love the food and so does our son. There are very few places nearby for great breakfast/brunch, so we'll be back.

This place is one for the books! I reserved this place to have my birthday dinner and I'm happy that I did, we even luck up and found a parking space in front of the restaurant. This place is beautiful and has an old school mob type vibe, not the people just the decor. The staff was cool, nothing above and beyond that stood out but no flaws to point out as well. The guy who controlled the operations of the restaurant knows what he's doing and stopped by each table to greet each guest when they were seated, after the food was served and before we exited. He kept himself moving and I respect that! Now on to the best part and that is the FOOD! We started with the margarita flat bread which was fresh and delicious each ingredient had its own individual flavor that blended so well together. It tastes like it was made by an Italian grandmother. The truffle fries were really good and had enough truffle oil so that you can smell and taste it on the fries. THE BRANZINO was absolutely delicious that butter sauce and those capers. The grilled branzino was cooked to perfection, even the peas that came with it were good and I don't even like peas lol. And the last but surely not least the skillet cinnamon roll, put it this way after eating this cinnamon roll you just up your standards on how a cinnamon roll should taste. It was flaky soft and fully cooked so no dough like texture or flavor.
Food was super salty and the service was slow very inconsistent with my previous visit. Thought this would have been a New York favourite :(

Came here for a bday lunch before a Broadway show. My parents were coming in from Penn Station so this location was terrific. Service was excellent from start to finish - I had left a note when confirming the reservation that it was a bday and three people greeted us with a happy bday message upon arrival. Our food was delicious (I had the breakfast sandwich and fresh squeezed orange juice) and as a bday surprise a low key dessert was sent to the table with a candle (perfect for our celebrant). I’ll be back in the future and recommend for a nice but unpretentious pre-show brunch/lunch for sure!

Stopped in on a Saturday night around 9 pm with my fiancé for a quick bite. He ordered a top shelf L.I. and I (on behalf of our ongoing engagement celebration and new beginnings) ordered the "Miracle in Queens"Both drinks did NOT disappoint. For the appetizer, he ordered the Artichoke & Spinach dip, which was more of a spread and not a dip, but I AM NOT complaining. It was delicious!!My fiance ordered the Steak Frites with the nice Lil salad. He raved about it the entire time.I ordered the Pan Seared Black Seabass. Everything was delicious, to say he least.The staff was wonderful.We will be back again soon to check out the other items on the menu, being that we have more events coming up to celebrate ????? Next time we will order cake!
Beautiful place and really good breakfast. I went with friends and we had a very good time there. Drinks are also delicious! And staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back.
