    The perfect post theater meal. The location was perfect walking distance from the Gershwin Theater. The service was great and our food was served in a short amount of time! The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and courteous!

    Server was nice, but never came to ask how everything was or if we wanted anything else. Had a coupon for a champagne toast and their signature cake, but manager would not let us use it. That was the main reason we came to Carnegie Diner and Cafe to celebrate my birthday

    Carnegie Diner & Café: A Must-Visit Gem in the Heart of the City. As a Florida resident, I make it a point to visit Carnegie Diner & Café every time I’m in the city, and it never disappoints. This establishment has perfected the balance of excellent food, a warm and friendly atmosphere, and a convenient location that makes it a standout choice for dining. The menu offers an impressive variety, catering to every craving with quality ingredients and generous portions. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a fresh salad, or a classic diner dish, everything is prepared to perfection. The atmosphere is just as remarkable as the food. The staff is consistently warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit feel like a homecoming. Situated in a prime location, the café is easy to access and a perfect stop during a day of exploring the city. Its convenient spot makes it a great choice for both locals and visitors alike. Carnegie Diner & Café has become a cherished part of my visits to the city. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and a memorable dining experience.

    Made reservation to wait in 45 min line. If that is how busy the restaurant is, then don't allow reservations. Completely disappointed.

    Everything was pretty much amazing - my only complaint was I asked specifically for some things to not be in my meal. They were confirmed when the order was taken and brought to me, but the items were still there… not enjoyable to pick through your meal the whole morning but overall the food was good

    Es un lugar que no respeta las reservaciones, no entiendo porque aceptan que gente reserve si ya saben que no habrá lugar. Al llegar había más de 40 personas esperando, según la persona que te recibe, por cierto de forma muy ruda, que todos tenían reservación, por lo que ni siquiera me quedé.

    Lively NY Deli close to Central Park and Carnegie Hall. Very busy for brunch on Saturday but well worth. Large portions, fast turn around and yummy food. Very crowded and the tables are very close but a good crowd.
