Linda L: Small sizes, better order two. Avocado spread best ever had! Everything is gluten free, heaven on earth :)
Linds: Great midtown lunch option, line goes quickly. Even with the line snaked almost out the door, the wait to receive my order was only 11 min. Loved the tofu w the chipotle mayo on the side.
Tara Dîana: My favorite paleo lunch spot. I typically get the chicken with broccoli and the curried cauliflower!

David Milberg: Came for brunch. It was excellent. They have an open buffet as well as a menu to order off of. Come on a VERY empty stomach and with company so you can try a bit of everything. Staff was also amazing.
Gothamist: The legendary Rainbow Room is reopening today. There will be a festive Sunday brunch in addition to Monday night dinners with live performances open to the public. Sun, 10/5. Read more.
Meredith Blechman: The much-hyped re-opening did not disappoint. The space offers the most incredible view of the city that never sleeps. The staff was incredibly attentive - service rivaled a Danny Meyer restaurant

Tiffany D: Salted chocolate caramel dessert was amazing!
The Wall Street Journal: The menu lists dishes simply and directly, with a fuss made only for local ingredients. Their Salmon ($32) should not be missed: It is steamed so gently, it melts in your mouth. Read more.

Boon Yap: Pretty awesome drinks. Bloody Marys go down easy. One drinky, two drinky, three drinkies, floor (novices!!). :-)
The New Yorker: “The menu features six kinds of Bloody Mary, which the King Cole claims to have invented in the nineteen-thirties. They call the original the Red Snapper, and it’s spicy, irresistible, and strong.” Read more.

Fiona: Restaurant Week/Pre-Fixe menu is great value. +1 for the delicious lamb shank! The Greek (?) music's volume was turned way up partway through dinner and stayed that way...strange.
Fizzie Water: I can't! That crispy béchamel on the veggie lasagna is certified crack. Give me a tub of that and put me in a coffin, I'm ready to die.
Gilt City: Eating at Ammos is like taking a vacation to the Greek Islands. Serving some of the freshest and most authentic Greek dishes, Ammos is a truly transporting experience.
