    This restaurant was a real surprise. Located in Grand Central Station, this restaurant felt cozy without feeling crowded. Excellent service and my meal was superb. Highly recommend the portabella French dip sandwich and tarte tartin. Great place for a business dinner or friend get together.

    The green room is great. It has a very cozy feel and allows. Nice conversation. Overall, the restaurant is a much needed addition to Grand Central given the number of times I meet people there.

    The restaurant is vibrant with activity. The restaurant’s location, design, staff and food were amazing. My only complaint was the difficulty of hearing my group conversation in the bustling atmosphere. I recommend it and look forward to dining there again, but maybe as a couple.

    Train station food is more functional, than form. Eating at the Grand Brasserie in Grand Central is quite a delight. You must try it. The food is unbelievably good, French bistro-like, where everything is made well. We've had 3 occasions to revisit this restaurant; had breakfast, lunch and dinner here, and ALL of it was wonderful. We've had the mussels, steak, chicken, duck, hamburger, haricot vert (so simple yet soo good), breads and chocolate mousse. Even the side of home made butter was something that I ended up packing home. If you have some time to spare (or missed your train) go sit and enjoy the beautiful ambience. You will be pleasantly surprised!
