   The food was okay but not great. The service was very slow. We were seated on time but our appetizers weren’t served until 45 minutes later. After that the service went down hill. For a restaurant where we paid about $500 for 5 people, we would have expected better. Don’t waste your time and money!

   The food wasn't what we expected, the seabass was dry, the rice the same, very dry, with no flavor, overall we didn't enjoy it that much!

   Solid, everything tasty and we ordered many dishes as the menu is very extensive, everything tasted fresh and our server was very attentive and friendly. Don’t skip the rice pudding. Worth going for the historical experience alone and for when you want to be overwhelmed by seafood choices.

   The GCOB is the perfect in its retro vibe that covers several decades. The service is great and the food is great. We will be back anytime that we come to NYC.

    Sad to say but the Grand Central Oyster Bar, while iconic, has taken a big step back with the food and service. As a result, it’s a poor value. If you’re still going to eat here, stick to the basics and avoid the overpriced, disappointing fish dishes.
