Best Lunch Restaurants in Prospect Lefferts Gardens

Surprisingly good food. Not a huge menu, but what they have is executed very well. Clams were a huge surprise and totally delicious. Cauliflower tempura is perfect and crispy. Ribeye was huge and seared well, but over by one grade - recommend you under order your desired temp. Pork chop was tender and served in a velvety sauce (was it a demi glace?). I didn't prefer the pasta with pork belly, thought it needed more sauce even though it tasted fine as it was. Service was fine but not as attentive as you night want for fine dining. Given the setting, it was ok. The view of course was amazing but do expect lots of tourists with small children speaking loudly. Not a good option for a romantic quiet chat. That having been said, the prix fixe lunch was a pretty good value at $80pp. I think the dinner menu is identical, so at $150pp that's a bit pricey. Go for lunch up to 4om, and save yourself some money, plus you get to watch the sunset, then see the city in both day and night. You can stay as long as you wish after your meal. Remember to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before your reservation since you have to go through several lines, a 1 minute elevator ride, and a 2-minute movie before you actually can get into the restaurant. Go to the west entrance of the building, then head down the escalator to guest services where you get priority tickets to the observatory floor. You also have to go through an airport-style security checkpoint complete with xray and metal detector, so be careful what you're carrying. Overall,, this is definitely an experience i would recommend, even to a long time native New Yorker.

Great food , great variety and great service , very nice wine list and cocktails , had a great experience

a cozy, friendly eatery with excellent service and food

I’ve been going to Odeon for decades . It’s like going home .

Great food!!! The mushrooms were unbelievably good. The fish was perfectly cooked! The brussel sprouts were crunchy and tasty! The apple crumble was delicious! It would be better if it's warm and not cold; the flavors were all there though. Francesca was amazing at helping me with the reservation, she went above and beyond for getting a good table and making sure the menu options would be there for dinner time (as the menu was limited on Christmas day). Her friendly and professional kind attitude went a long way. Thank you for the hospitality Francesca!
