The branzino was absolutely delicious, the Brussels sprouts, the filet mignon - everything I tasted here was heavenly. 10/10

Fantastic, book on and do it. Food staff drinks are first rate.
It was a really busy night and despite a delay for our table the food service etc more than made up for it
Would recommend

The experience started off on the wrong foot with a poor greeting and an unexpectedly long wait at the reception (I was asked to move from the lobby and offered to stand in the Lounge with two children under 14 yrs old). It set the tone for what, unfortunately, turned out to be a pretty underwhelming evening. I had ordered a steak, and the server assured me it would be timed and coordinated with the kitchen. But it was obvious that wasn’t the case. My appetizer plates had barely been cleared before the entrée showed up, and the steak itself looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for far too long. It was grey, dry, and completely overcooked.
For a dinner that ends up costing around $400 (For three people), you expect a lot more care and attention than this. We’ve eaten at other Quality restaurants and generally had good experiences, but this was by far the worst one. Everything felt rushed, unwelcoming, and just not up to the standard they usually set. Could have been amazing, unfortunately tonight, overall, very disappointing…

We had to wait and wait and wait for our table despite a reservation. Food is fine but not outstanding. Noise level is high. It’s clear they want to pack as many people as possible. At over $100 per person, a guest deserves more. We won’t be back

Instead of Quality Bistro, it should be called Quantity Bistro. The place was a madhouse. We ran a little late for our reservation and they gave away our table. We were stuck by the bar with absolutely no service and it just feels like the quality of quality bistro is gone. It used to be a special place for us to look forward to going to but now it seems like their only concern is to get as many people as they can into the restaurant.

We have eaten here several times in the past and have really enjoyed this restaurant. This all changed last night. We had a reservation at 8:45 pm to celebrate a birthday. By 9:15 pm we still hadn't been seated and according to the woman hostess she could not tell us when we will be seated. Furthermore she couldn't have cared less about the situation. What's the purpose of having a reservation if you're not going to honor the time?

We recently did the NYC Thanksgiving Day Parade Viewing Brunch at Quality Bistro Restaurant — and let me just say, it was absolutely fabulous. Truly the perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving.
From the moment we arrived (doors opened at 8 a.m.), the whole atmosphere was upbeat and festive. Brunch inside was delicious, and the private outdoor viewing area gave us a front-row seat to all the action — giant balloons drifting by, floats turning the street into a mini Broadway stage, marching bands doing their thing. And the best part? You could pop back inside anytime to warm up, sip coffee, juice, mimosas, Bloody Marys, peach bellinis, and keep nibbling on brunch. Pure magic.
Let’s also be honest: having clean bathrooms available and a warm place to thaw out during a NYC parade is worth its weight in gold. Being able to sit inside afterwards as we waited for crowds to disburse so we could catch a taxi was a blessing as well.
Everything about the experience was top-notch — great food, great drinks, great people, and a perfect spot to enjoy a classic New York tradition. For someone like me, coming up from South Carolina a couple of times a year, this hit the sweet spot of joy, nostalgia, and simple holiday fun.
If you ever get the chance to do this — brunch + parade views — jump on it. You won’t regret it!

Great food, elegant atmosphere, good service. The Croque Madame is exceptional!
My husband and I were looking forward to our date night here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very chaotic and the maitre D was SO insanely rude that we felt no choice but to leave. We are resident New Yorkers and I can't think of another time where we felt the need to leave due to such a hostile interraction. We went across the street to Milos without a reservation, were greeted warmly and had a delicious dinner.

The server was so kind but there were just too many people in the restaurant. I ordered a bottle of wine and had to keep asking someone to bring it to us to refill our glasses, which feels uncomfortable

Amazing dinner with my daughter to celebrate our collective birthdays (really it was mine, but her birthday is 2 weeks prior to mine so made it a joint celebration). The service was wonderful. Only two minor comments: 1) the space is quite dark. While there are tealights at the tables, it can be difficult to see if you have poor eyesight. 2) A couple dishes, while all delicious, were a little bit on the salty side. My daughter had the pasta with the beef bourgignon and a cesar salad. Both of her dishes were salty. I had the steak frites and the wedge salad - both of those were perfectly done. The comments above are just comments and by no means complaints because overall, it was a really wonderful birthday celebration - we saw the matinee of &Juliet just prior to coming to dinner, and had a chance to walk through Rock Center beforehand, so it was just a really great day.

I love Quality Bistro. The food and service are always great. My crew (7 people) had a reservation before the Radio City Christmas Show. Our reservation was 2:45 and it started great. Our server was awesome and the food was delicious. I noticed after our main course our dishes stayed on the table? Strange, but we were having fun. Finally a different server showed up and told us that they close the restaurant before 5:00 and if we wanted anything else, we needed to order. The new server seemed very annoyed that we were still there. She brought the bill and still didn't clean our plates off. It was strange. They shouldn't book 2:45 reservations if they want you out at 3:45.
