Grand Brasserie offers a "taste of Paris" in the heart of Grand Central, blending old-world elegance with vibrant NYC energy. Guests praise its "beautiful decor" and "amazing atmosphere." While the French-inspired menu delights, some note service "growing pains." With attentive staff and a "lovely setting," it's a promising new favorite.

    Great all-around, but they were 45 min+ behind schedule for reservations. They did a spectacular job accommodating us since two members of our party were pregnant, but the delay wasn’t ideal.

    The only problem is the front desk. When we reserve Green Room we keep getting outside. And they seem ‘inconvenienced’ when we remind them.

    Food was very good. Server was friendly but forgetful in bringing ordered items. Had to ask 3 separate times for coffee creamer and twice for my child’s beverage.

    Pop up restaurant in the train station. Only house wine by the glass despite an extensive bottle menu, very loud and echo-y. After standing in line for 15 minutes, was told to come back closer to my reservation time that was coming up in 8 minutes. Ultimately we just got up and headed to a restaurant around the corner with open tables. Can't even recommend this as a quick bite before a train because there are better and less expensive options in the immediate vicinity.

    Came here for brunch on Saturday 12/14/24- and it was very disappointing. The atmosphere is probably the only redeeming thing about the experience as it was decorated for the holidays. However, I can’t recommend anything else about it. The service was probably the worst part. The host staff and wait staff were not at all friendly or helpful. I honestly couldn’t believe how unfriendly and straight up rude our server was.. i kept wondering if I had done something wrong based on the way he was treating us. Had to ask for things several times until things we ordered finally came. Just abysmal. The food was extremely overpriced given how bland and cold everything was. French fries came out cold - both orders. Same with my omelette. And I’m pretty sure they forgot to give us bread. Such a shame and wish I could get a refund for this meal.

    I’ve never experienced worse service in my entire life. Wanted to come here to kill two birds with one stone as I am showing two friends who have never been to NYC before-see grand central and eat. From someone who visits NYC 2-3 times a year- go see grand central for what it is, and eat somewhere else.
