S MMay 27, 2011Loved the place, food was really good. Had the chocolate souffle, it takes about 30min but it's so worth the wait!!! And with great company I didn't even feel the wait!!! ;)
Kevin LambertOctober 4, 2013Just a lovely place. Real European feel. Excellent food and service. Can't wait to go back.
This is an excellent place to meet for drinks and/or to eat, very reliable and professional and well lodged in the central nervous system of NYC
Good power breakfast 🥣 spot for grand central commuters. Skip the mediocre toast with the omelet and substitute fruit.
- The Chop Chop Salad is great. However, this is a very busy lunch place and the quality if the food and service can dip at busy times.

Michael ClarkFebruary 6, 2019Roomy spot for a business breakfast directly adjacent to GCT. Good service and food as well.
Norman EllisOctober 7, 2016Consistently great. Excellent spot for a business lunch or dinner in the Midtown East area.- Sandra FoytApril 25, 2013Try the Chicken Chop Chop Salad - Yummy! A cornucopia of flavors, it's the Sesame Ginger dressing that gives it its zing.#salad
- DoubleDeuceDecember 25, 2016Slower service but wonderful foods. For the area, it's a great choice. Not as loud as nearby places for a table full of people.
Anne HuangMarch 30, 2018Great place after the work hours- quiet and no crowd to eat in the midtown Manhattan.
Julia KristinApril 16, 2014Loved the Filet Mignon! Raw Medium, with a delicious pepper sauce! Rose by the glass is excellent!
KarenMarch 15, 2020They actually have meeting space in the back ... for actual meetings, with a portable presentation monitor.
Valerie LatonaMarch 16, 2011Definitely order the butternut squash soup; other than the dollop of cream on the top (you can leave off), it's dairy free and yummy!
Kong LinApril 8, 2015Not too French, I ordered confit canard (lamb for another time). It was not that authentic. You pay for the service. The server speak French though!
Tash ConcepcionAugust 17, 2014A convenient place for a quick lunch or after work dinner. Good for quiet conversation. Food is good but nothing special.
Brendan LewisJuly 6, 2014Good spot for midtown breakfast meetings. Otherwise unimpressive food for way too much money
Thought the Friday Provençal Mixed Grill was a bit anemic for the price. Disappointed.
Joseph DeVitoMarch 15, 2010Wow... First time here... Impressed with the roaring fire and complentary spread at the bar!
