Diane Weiss: OMG try the choc pudding ( choc trifle) choc pudding, choc cake and whipped cream in layers.... Pure comfort food!
Ashley Herron: Red velvet and the lemon cupcakes are amazzzzzzing but you can't go wrong with the classic vanilla cake and chocolate icing cupcake.
Becky Blossom: I think this one is better than Magnolia Bakery at Rockefeller Center. Just my personal fav. Get a slice of cake- the hummingbird is out of this world.

Carol Clark: Their red velvet cupcakes are delicious, but I am in love with their cheesecakes even more! (And I used to work there, I should know!)
Cupcakes Take The Cake: Try the only at Grand Central marble cupcake, with a beautiful edible chocolate disc on top and marble cake on the bottom. A very classy cupcake.

John: Try the thai spicy shrimp sandwich or the curry croquette. Their cakes are not only beautiful but are also light and sweet. I do agree that the ktown location has more options and is slightly better.

Bradley Boughton: The Dry aged Rib eye was incredible! And the sides were amazing too! Along with the complimentary cheese cake which was phenomenal

Ken Shapiro: Bacon as an appetizer was amazing! You must get the spinach as a side. The dry aged steaks were delicious and we ended with the 24 layer chocolate cake.

Caroline Schulweis: Great sushi, fried rice, and skirt steak. The strawberry cheesecake dessert is very unique and great to share with a group.
AmateurConcierge: Vying for the top of the Major Foods hill. The best food of the Four Seasons replacements from what I can tell. Avo Lobster salad, lobster dumplings, NY strip, tuna chilis and Straw cheesecake FTW
Jastine Kho: Excellent spot to take someone if you want to impress them. Swanky but not stuffy. Great service too !
