the hostess and the wait staff were so fabulous and went out of their way to treat us like royalty. The wind had blown coffee and water all over me. It certainly was not their fault but they couldn't do enough for myself and our party after that. I highly recommend this place and will be back often

The shrimp cocktail is divine ❤️ Excellent service, couldn't have asked for better.

Terrific food, great service, perfect location across the street from Lincoln Center. A favorite.

Excellent dishes, service was good even though the place was really busy, prices good. During busy hours it gets pretty loud so expect this. Outdoor seating is available but sometimes tough to get. Obviously a popular place to go before Lincoln center events.

If you enjoy menu variety, this venue is for you. Ne sure to try their mac and cheese starter and salmon entree. Friendly staff, including our server, Anna, wide range of menu items to choose from, energetic atmosphere, and convenient dining for evening performances at Lincoln Center.

Veggie burger was ok; cabernet was just fair (have you changed brands, guys?) Server left bill and never came back for payment; I had to go to service desk where a manager rang me up and checked me out. I visit this restaurant every couple of months and this sub-par experience was unusual.

This place is a scam. Came here after Big Apple Circus, atmosphere was nice enough asked not to be in middle table which they did anyways ok they were busy fine....But we were in the middle of a row of 20 tables with not more than 6" inches on either side...Felt like no privacy, I been to many NYC restaurants I get the rent is high and they want they are greedy and want to maximize their profits but the prices ain't cheap either...it was so tight I can literally reach over and eat off the next tables plates....Like cattle shoved in a train car.... Anyways our sever was nice and service was fine enough, the decor of the restaurant is fine. It seems like this is kind of a chain restaurant, the menu is rather boring but they keep it safe. Salmon Tartare was very good, and bringing table was nice....But it all went down hill from there...I ordered the Smith Bar Steak, it was a joke, no more than 3 ouches of steak with a mountain of French fries, asked for medium it came well done, the peppercorn sauce has a weird plastic taste to it, was too hungry and didn't want to waste time having them remake it so just ate it ...Burger asked for rare came medium well....An American place that can't even cook a burger or steak properly....Lolz An the steak at $34 for that size was a joke. Sticky toffee pudding was very good provably best part of the meal....Overall food is pretty average, I won't be coming back.
Wonderful atmosphere. A New Yorker scene and place. The food is great, and I can tell you the kitchens downstairs are super clean and very well kept. I know because I was working for the landlord there for 30 years. This place is amazing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everyone enjoys the wonderful American style food in the heart of the city.
Parking: It has a very nice bar if you just want to have drinks.
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor and has no problem with wheelchairs.

What a great dining experience on our last night of vacation in NYC! We went in just before 5pm on a Sunday. It looked super busy, so we weren't sure if we would get in, but we were seated right away. Our waiter, Travis, was fantastic! So friendly and attentive. Actually, the entire staff was attentive! When our water bottle was empty, it was immediately refilled. Travis let us know when our food order was put in with the kitchen, and we didn't wait long at all. Go on Sunday and get the chicken parm special! You will not regret it! It tasted amazing, was cooked perfectly, and was absolutely worth the 5-Star review. I highly recommend!!

We dined at Lincoln Center tonight before seeing The Big Apple Circus. Food was delicious but not plentiful. We left still hungry. Unfortunately no bread brought to the table to start. Waiter was wonderful and extremely kind. I recommend trying to warm up the restaurant, we were seated by the door and we were freezing the entire dinner which really ruined the experience.

Lovely! My server was helpful in choosing a drink. I had steak (haven't had steak in ages. Like actual years) and it hit the spot - was perfect.

Consistently good. I've dined here many times over the years and have always enjoyed my meals. I recently popped in for Sunday brunch and we were able to be seated immediately outdoors. The heating lamps are comfortable. I ordered the pancakes which I demolished within minutes. They were soooooo delicious. The french toast is also very very good.
