    The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Very friendly staff. The only downside was having to wait 20 minutes despite having a reservation.

    A fantastic spot. Just glad we made a reservation. There was a long line for walk ups; they asked us in to join a line inside while the walk ups waited outside. We were at the end of the inside line and were thinking of leaving. The Host came up to us right away and seated us. We were out in no time. Efficient server and good food. A wonderful experience.

    Extremely long wait even with reservations. Other larger parties, greater than parties of 2 seated sooner. Waited at least 30 minutes to be seated. May skip this next time in NYC.

    Ordered veggie omelette and Greek yogurt/granola at about 11am on a Dec. Saturday. The food was outstanding in quantity and quality. With the organic egg omelette came dry toast, hash browns, and fresh greens. The yogurt was delicious. Yes, the tables are packed close together and the noise level high, but the service was outstanding in speed handling the line of people out the door. The cost is very reasonable and a great value for this location across from Carnegie Hall. My first time here, and I will be back.

    It is very crowded but it’s run like a well oiled machine. Food is fantastic and despite the fact it is packed, service is extraordinarily friendly. I highly recommend it.

    All round excellent American diner experience! We went to New York for 5 days and this was our best breakfast experience by a country mile. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. The portion sizes were great and definitely value for money! Would highly recommend if you’re visiting New York and want the American diner experience. If you are planning to visit, I’d suggest booking in advance or getting there early morning (before 9am) as people were soon queueing around the corner.

    Children obviously at the table - but had to ask for children’s menus. Brought the wrong wine. Burger was supposed to have mushrooms - no mushrooms. Burger was supposed to be medium rare - it was medium. Server was polite and friendly throughout, but, after asking for to-go container, no to-go container appeared. Child’s order from children’s menu of scrambled eggs and fries was HUGE - looked more like an adult three-egg omelette. Reuben was all pastrami and very little cheese and no Russian dressing.
