    A classic New York City spot, great for business casual lunches. The atrium makes for a great dining experience! The Cobb salad and the calamari are great. Pair with the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

    Great for brunch or dinner, and it's always worth it to grab a table on the patio if it's nice out. If you're dining here for dinner, definitely order the sea bass.

    The Grand Marnier Marinated Duck Breast & Confit Leg was sublime. The duck was succulent & filled with a delectable orange flavour. The crepe had hints of cinnamon & complemented the duck perfectly.

    Great service - beautiful atmosphere. I had a rose and israeli salad which was def more of an appetizer portion. Brady had the steak frites.

    Restaurant has a pleasant ambience with seating for parties of all sizes. Menu has wide range of options priced reasonably. Char grilled tenderloin was excellent as was service. Will go again!

    Visit in the summertime to enjoy this little oasis in the heart of Midtown. Convenient location in Bryant Park. Mix of tourists and business lunches.

    Super conveniently located inside Bryant Park for stellar views. The upstairs bar doesn't get too crowded. The drinks are pricier due to the added value of being in the park.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/Avocado & chipotle mayo is amazing. They give you two pieces of chicken. Cobb salad is also great.

    Protip: get a table on the roof. It's a great view of Bryant Park and can be less crowded than inside or the patio.

    Bryant Park Grill is a midtown staple. It's upscale but not pretentious or absurdly expensive. Dishes are sort of hit or miss & vegan entrees are scarce. Portions were really small but still worth it!

    They have couscous salad with lobster on the menu, but the better idea is to order the vegetarian quinoa cherry wheat salad, and then have them add the lobster!!

    Great brunch overlooking Bryant Park. Expect large portions. A bit loud if sitting in the middle of the room. Window tables are nice.

    Great outdoor bar. Just close enough to the public library to feel like you're getting some culture and intellectual stimulation while downing vodka tonics out of plastic cups.

    Definitely recommend it for business meeting. Great service even for lunch time. I've had the salmon and the chocolate cake both delicious.

    One of the amazing venues in NYC for a wedding or event celebration. The food, the service and the attention to details.

    Please emphasize more how much I'm supposed to tip you. Jesus, can you be more passive aggressive? Good outdoor seating, lackluster service and food.

    Nice stop after walking/studying in the NYC Public Library. Beautiful 4-season view of Bryant park in summer and ice skating in winter

    The nearby outdoor public restrooms are the nicest in the city. Lines are often long with tourists, but worth it. So clean.

    No way. Hostess and food terrible. Fish cooked from frozen stuff! Red wine in small cheap glassesInside design (left, in building side) is cozy and nice.

    There's outdoor seating facing Bryant Park, so a great place to go for outdoor brunch if it's nice out.

    Decent place for lunch in the area. I was, however, surprised when my chicken Caesar salad came out as a salad and a side of chicken.

    Jumbo lump crab cakes, persimmon frisée salad, sashimi tuna tacos are all solid choices! Yum!

    Nothing is good about this place except the park view..I returned my mashy risotto and ordered Chicken cobb and fries. Fries came super soggy and the salad was just ok. Don’t ever try, tourist trap…!

    Service, price and setting fit for a New York City tourist but the location is definitely the value here.

    For dessert try the Bananas for Bananas. Incredible! I also had the quinoa salad that I don't recommend.

    The food is excellent. Haven't had a bad meal. However the service has gotten pretty bad the last couple of times here. Service seems to be heading downhill.

    Great fare, cocktails and ambiance but beware the aggressive vultures that like to swarm, then attack. Pretending to speak another language usually helps.
