The location is excellent and the space is very comfortable. The food is okay and hit or miss with frequent menu and supplier changes. The coffee is good. The prices have recently increased, probably due to the economy. The staff is often very brisk and could be friendlier.

I always stop here for lunch when I come to RI. I like their salad and the hall is a pretty chill place to eat .

Our favorite place for lunch at RI. Great lunch dishes for the price. Always tastes good. I love the salad buffet where you can choose what you like. Today’s dish is usually always great too! Coffee and a treat is nice as well. Highly recommended this place for breakfast and lunch or an afternoon snack if you’re on Roosevelt Island. Great views as well!

Coffee and lunch are reasonably priced and delicious, and to say the least, it's a spacious cafe with a relaxing view of Manhattan and nature.

Great sandwich.

Excellent lunch we had today. A delicious tomato soup and a turkey sandwich on bagel bread. The place is clean, warm and helped us regain energy to continue walking. Highly recommended. Affordable prices.

Awesome place, I love the price of food and the lovely atmosphere ❤️
Got the “Indian daily dish”… $15 for five pieces of tofu (paneer) and a half scoop of chickpeas… tastes like corporate cafe food. (How is it even possible to make saag paneer that tastes this bad?)
Soup is sometimes lukewarm and sandwich meats are sometimes too tough to chew… impossible to recommend.
This place would not be competitive even in Midtown. Priced like boutique restaurant food but tastes worse than Chipotle and Dig. Only reason it has business is because it has a monopoly on the southern side of Roosevelt Island, and it is certainly exploiting that monopoly (and Cornell Tech students).

Some food items are so overpriced and some drinks are always ‘sold out’. The people working at the cashier really seem to hate their jobs.

Interest! We sat mostly for the toilets, being tourists, but it was a good opportunity to stare at the students who swarm it, most of them of Asian origin. It doesn't have a wide range of drinks, but the toilets are spotless!
