The whole experience was effortless. Table was easy to book, even though we are not based in the States. We arrived early and were told we could wait at the bar. We were served quickly even though the bar was very busy. We had a text to tell us the table was ready. On arriving at our table a member of staff gave my husband a birthday card as I had stated this when I booked. What a lovely touch. We had seen an item on the bar menu that wasn't on the restaurant menu but we were told we could still order it. The food as always was fantastic. All the staff went above and beyond. We always go here whenever we are in New York and recommend to anyone we know who is going. No one has ever been disappointed.

I usually rate it very high but this time the power went out in the restaurant. We were in the dark for about an hour. I was surprised that a place such as Rails doesn’t have a generator.

Our server, Omar, was fantastic. Kids had a great time with arcade games, food was much better than expected for a chain restaurant, and it was very clean! First time going, table of 10, and everyone had a great time!
