    What a gem in Grand Central! The stunning architecture of the station is blended with amazing food and the ambiance of a classic French bistro. Highly recommend.

    The ambience was lovely and the food very good, had steak frites. The service was mediocre - wrong bottle of at fist so we had the food delivered before the right bottle of wine. Had to ask for proper cutlery for the steak and nobody checked on us throughout the meal. Next time it will be only a drink at the beautiful bar.

    Excellent dining choice in Grand Central. For a quieter atmosphere book the Green Room in the back. Amazing liquor selection. Be prepared for a larger than average bill (even with the prixe fixe menu).

    Well to begin, the restaurant is located in Grand Central Terminal. Literally on top of the tracks. The rumbling from all the trains was ALOT! The place was lovely. Very Parisian. The food..fine. Just fine. The cost......very very expensive. We were 3, 2 apps, 3 entrees, 1 dessert...over $200! And 2 of the entrees were on the lower cost level. The bar in the inner room...well that needs to be seen...gorgeous. Will I go back? I dont know. Maybe for a solo lunch before catching a train.

    Outstanding food and very attentive service. The space is in the entry of Grand Central Station so seating up front is not ideal as there is a lot of noise and foot traffic. The main dining area is well appointed and comfortable.

    It was my second time there. We had a lovely impromptu Christmas morning brunch and I found the place so lovely that we decided to come New Year’s Eve. We booked the green room, which is much more intimate and kind of a throwback to a bygone era in New York. The waiter was fantastic. The food was extraordinary. We had the roast chicken and the Bronzino. We got a side of fries and haricot verts. Everything was so well seasoned and delicious. My companion had the apple tart tartin which was very good too.  It’s a little on the pricey side, but great for special occasions.
