Our group of 5 met here for Saturday lunch and were seated in the large covered dining room. I enjoyed the atmosphere, which reminded me of a garden atrium and felt serene. Waitstaff were excellent and all service was top notch. The food was prepared well and fresh. I enjoyed Cobb salad and other diners selected a Thai duck salad with papaya and mango, Caesar salad, crab cake, watercress soup, and crispy Canadian salmon with spring vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their selections. read more

Sunday brunch, a very rainy day. We didn't have reservations and we were very lucky and thankful we were seated right away. We met with an old family friend that we haven't seen in years. We had to wait a while to get served, maybe short staffed but once we put our orders in, the food arrived at the right time. Everything was good, I loved my French toast and the cappuccino was fantastic. Loved the tall ceilings, lots of people but not noisy, we were actually able to catching up and hear ourselves. Please be advised that if you are a person with handicap, you will have to take an elevator from the kitchen area that will bring you downstairs to the bathroom. And if the elevator is not working like it happened to us towards the end, you might have to go somewhere else. Other than that I will definitely love to return here. read more

Loved this spot! I feel like it would make it based on looks and location alone, but the food was great and staff was even better. Veronika was phenomenal and so sweet, we noticed her move a table over for a couple since the sun shifted directly on them, so thoughtful. The man who seemed to be the manager was also so kind and present on the floor! Loved the cauliflower so much, loved that it came with two sauces! Fries were amazing, the salad was good for a warm summer day but we needed an extra side of dressing! Loved it after that addition. :) one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to! The patio was a dream, I didn't think it could be better until I saw the garden room! read more

It's been a minute since our last time at BPG and it was great to return. BOG is beautifully kept, clean and roomy for everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed to enjoy a great meal. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining. We arrived early for dinner, however they welcomed and invited us to sit and relax by the bar area. The hostess and servers are nice, friendly and attentive. The food is outstanding! Delicious. BPG is ADA compliant. Treat yourself to a BPG dinner experience. read more

The outdoor seating is romantic. The service was great. We got the fried cauliflower, so addictive. Get extra portions of the romanesco sauce and skip the green sauce. This is not a big app, fine for two ppl but not for the table. Next up is the plate with fish and chips, shrimp, French fries, homemade tartar sauce and more. It was a perfect split. Everything was hot and flavorful. I wouldn't have minded some vinegar but I was too busy eating to ask. The mocktail menu is interesting. The lavender potion was intense but good. The prices are high but not for the experience in eating in Bryant Park. Because we split the fish plate, the tab was quite reasonable. read more

This was a classic nyc feeling restaurant. I came to get some reprieve from the cold while in Bryant Park and was able to try the crab cake appetizer and a drink. The service was friendly and efficient. Those closed off inside/outside area was very nice. read more

My family and I enjoyed a truly lovely lunch at Bryant Park Grill after watching the Rockettes, and it couldn't have been a more perfect experience. We were seated in the tented area, which felt absolutely magical with its floating lights and the surrounding trees--it created such a cozy, special atmosphere right in the middle of the city. To start, we ordered the grilled bread with vegan spreads for the table along with the potato leek and roasted red pepper soups. The bread and dips were a delightful way to begin the meal, and the potato leek soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. For our entrées, we chose the branzino and the seafood pasta in cioppino sauce. The branzino was light, flaky, and beautifully paired with delicious vegetables. The seafood pasta was hearty and warming--my husband and I split it, and it was more than enough to satisfy us both. Everything about the experience impressed us: the food, the ambiance, and especially the service, which was incredibly attentive and fast without ever feeling rushed. If you're visiting New York City and looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Bryant Park Grill. It was a wonderful meal and a special moment for our family. read more

It's not as expensive as you think. My wife and I met up with some friends who were from out of town and we ended up eating here. It's the second time I've been here. The first time was when the company I worked for back then had their holiday party there. The place does look upscale, especially compared to the surrounding establishments. It is spacious. The waitress was very friendly. She allowed us to order from both the dinner menu and the brunch menu since we came in where there were on the verge of changing meal times. The food was very good. We shared the dishes we ordered among each other. Everything was flavorful and delicious. No complaints. Because we shared, the bill turned out pretty reasonable. The rest rooms, though, was downstairs and can get crowded real quick. If you're handicapped, it may be difficult for you to get there. Otherwise, it was a good dining experience. I would recommend the place if you're willing to spend a little more. Or, do what we did, order a few entres and share it among yourselves and save some money. The portions are generous enough. read more

A tasty dinner, great service and a lovely venue on this beautiful summer evening. We've dined here many times, and find the service to be very good during quieter times. For example, this evening our reservation was at 5:30pm, and there were very few patrons. Our waiter arrived quickly, ice waters were served promptly and we ordered: * Cauliflower Frites (toasted almonds, romesco and pesto sauces) $17.50 * Grilled Moroccan Lemon Chicken Paillard (garlic mashed potatoes, grilled organic carrots, pearl onions, tomato, caper & herb sauce) $29.95 * Wild Mushroom Ravioli (grilled artichokes, cherry tomatoes, spinach and edamame in a parmesan broth) $27.50 The Frites arrived quickly, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, hot and tasty. This was more than sufficient for two, we thought these were yummy. The entrées arrived about 10 minutes after we finished the Frites. The chicken was nicely prepared in a tasty sauce, I'd be happy to order this again. The raviolis were delicious, with a strong but not overpowering mushroom flavor. Service was excellent, and the venue overlooking beautiful Bryant Park was sublime, on a perfectly pleasant summer evening. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my yummy breakfast here! I lived in NYC for 7 years and treasure the city for its diverse food scene, so I rarely visit "grills" that serve American food, but one of my friends really wanted to try this place. First of all, the setting is unbeatable. This restaurant sits INSIDE the legendary Bryant Park. The front wall of the restaurant is all windows, so we were able to look outside at all of the fall festivities, which felt really magical. We were seated quickly, and overall the service was attentive and polite. What really blew me away was the food! I ordered and orange juice and the Challah French Toast, which came with berries, creme fraiche, raspberry jam, and syrup. This was maybe the best french toast I have ever had. It was so warm and fluffy, with a thin crispy layer on the outside. The creme fraiche was the perfect touch to mellow out the sweetness of the jam that was already smeared on top. The only complaint I have, which is why I am giving this four stars, is that the french toast was pretty sweet. I ended up not using any syrup (which I typically love) because the french toast, jam, and berries combined were already very sweet to being with. read more

Is it mind blowing? No, but also... I mean... it's the Bryant Park motha-friggen Grill! Cmon! It's such an amazing spot, a great location, a grand atmosphere, good food, okay service, and and and they have matchbooks! What's not to actually love? Living nearby made it a super awesome, convenient treat! Sad to hear they were leaving, but I'm a bit confused because they're still here; definitely not mad about it. This is a great solo dine at the bar spot or even a quick drink meet up for a date or something. It's in the dang park! read more

Didn't check the reviews beforehand because we only intended to have drinks, but should've known that places like this are only for the atmosphere. We asked if we were able to just sit at a table for drinks, she said yes. The wine selection was minimal and not good, but we ordered 2 glasses anyway. We asked the server if we could order bread for our son. He said "I'll bring bread after you order food." We told him we were only there for drinks but were happy to pay for a bread order. He begrudgingly said okay. After being there 10 minutes, we decided we wanted an appetizer so went for the tuna crudo. Not did it taste awful, it didn't even look appealing. It also oddly came out with a massive piece of grilled bread?! Bizarre combo. Do yourself a favor and just sit in Bryant Park, don't waste your money here. read more

Another great meal at BPG. Two of my friends had sausage and eggs. I had the eggs Benedict. We also indulged and got an order of biscuits on the side. Everything was great. My friends also had sangria and reported that they loved it. A lovely place to have brunch. And very conveniently located in mid-town. We'll be back. Note that the restaurant now charges a 2.5% fee for credit card use. A propos of credit cards, I forgot mine in the folder, and the restaurant found it and kept it safe for me. read more

Been here three times in the past few years and it's definitely a nice restaurant outing spot in midtown and right in Bryant Park. Have tried both the indoor and outdoor seatings and love that they have plenty of seats depending on what you're feeling it. I like the appetizers they have and the variety of choices really ensure there is something for everyone. I usually get their fish entrees like the Branzino which is always good. Service is good and staffs are friendly and helpful. read more

My friend and I booked for early dinner at 5:30 & we were seated promptly by the window, as we requested. The service was fast and smooth. We decided to have small plates of Moroccan kebabs and calamari to start. The kebabs came in threes, on the bed of delicious eggplant pure, sweet roasted pepper strips, a few scattered baby spinach leaves & a hot (what appeared to be) a green jalapeño pepper. This is a must-have dish: unique in offered ingredients and extremely flavorful. The calamari, on the other hand, were a disappointment: gooey batter and poor tasting calamari. But the atmosphere was festive, lively, upbeat and happy. The noise level was high though. We decided to have desert elsewhere as it was hard to talk & hear each other. read more

My friends from 7th grade & I try to meet for dinner quarterly. It's always been some steakhouse the guys like or want to try. I'm coming from New Jersey everytime and if you've ever driven from NJ to NY on a Friday. Well, you know. So I took a chance, "hey guys, can we go to the city instead of Long Island. How about the Bryant Park Grill?" To my surprise, they all agreed. This is a group of guys who never leave Long Island. I was genuinely & pleasantly surprised. That being said, I've love Bryant Park Grill forever. It's my spot to meet with friends & family. Easy to get to, BPG is close to everything you'd want to see in NYC. Winter is wonderful with ice skating & Christmas tents for holiday shopping. And no matter what brings you, the BPG has anything you like. I got their steak, veggies, vodka tonic, cheesecake for desert. Wow - as always. There were 13 in our party and the BPG staff were excellent. Very attentive. We could not have had a better evening. read more

Visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for my Birthday brunch. Twas a beautiful day and the dining room had such great ambience. Glad we reserved because it was packed. We planned on having a day in city so we didn't want to eat too heavy. The hubs got the Crispy Korean Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which came with Kimchi, Sriracha Mayo, Spicy Asian Slaw, which he loved. The perfect portion and amount of spice. My daughter, who is a vegetarian, opted for the Breakfast Burrito, which consisted of Scrambled Eggs, Refried Beans, Guacamole, Pico De Gallo in a Toasted Wheat Tortilla, served with a side salad. I had the Chilaquiles, which was served with a Hen of the Woods mushroom, along with Fried Fresh Farm Eggs, Avocado, Oaxaca & Cotija Cheese. Quite filling. Couldn't even finish. Kick myself for not finishing because they were that good. We partook in some adult beverages. The hubs had a spicy margarita, which consisted of casamigos spicy tequila, jalapeño simple syrup & fresh lime juice. It was delicious and packed a punch. I had the tropical white sangria. So good. Can't recall the exact recipe but it was delicious. Tips. Very important. Always reserve - can get packed. Everything was so delicious. Will return soon! Didn't get pics of my daughters burrito. read more

The ambiance is beautiful nestled in Bryant Park. The outdoor dining is lovely especially for dinner with the lights of the restaurant surrounding the outdoor seating. The hostess was friendly and accommodating. The waiter was friendly and attentive however the busman that took care of our table was very rude. After the appetizer we left our utensils on our plates and he literally took them off the plate and dropped them in front of us. We were horrified. The main course which was delicious did come out while we were still eating our appetizers. Also not what I expected. Portions were good. I don't know if I would come back as I feel the service did not equal the food or the caliber of the dining experience I had wanted. read more

Service was amazing! Food was great!! Environment and scenery was excellent. Nice outside seating but also really cute inside. Our waitress went above and beyond to assist us and was very courteous and nice. Something I didn't expect so much here in NYC. This is right next to Bryant Park and the NYC library. Their food portions are huge. But we got something light since it was late and it was delicious. read more

As someone who frequents Broadway and a fan of the Bryant Park Winter Market, I have always had my eye on the restaurant located in the park, which sits directly behind the New York Public Library. When you think of New York City in romantic movies, this is the setting you can envision. We were lucky to grab an early reservation on a gorgeous evening, conducive to eating outside. While the inside decor is beautiful, I highly recommend eating outdoors if the weather allows. We started with cocktails: Rosa in the Park and Smoking Pineapple. Both on the sweet side, but the names caught our attention and we were suckers for a great pun. We were both eyeing the salmon entree and the burger, so we decided to order both and try each other's plate. We left room for dessert because, why not? Chocolate s'more and strawberry shortcake rounded out our meal. THE GROWS: This is a great place to people-watch if you are dining outdoors. The flip side is people walking through the park are also ogling you, and if you sit near the edge of the outdoor section, people can almost bump into you as they speed past. Service moves quickly. This is great for pre-theater dining or if you have somewhere else to be, but it also gives the impression that meals here are not leisurely and it's an in-and-out process. Quick turnover. THE GLOWS: The quality of the burger rivaled some local steakhouses. It was cooked to the perfect temperature, as requested, and the fries were light and seasoned well. The salmon was cooked with a sear and the accompaniments were great. The showstopper, for me, was the strawberry shortcake dessert. They used biscuits and mascarpone cheese, along with fresh strawberries. It was dense, packed with flavor, and not overly sweet. Kudos! Next time you are in Manhattan and looking for a place to eat that allows you to engage in an icon of NYC, check out Bryant Park Grill! read more

If fast was an Olympic sport this place would get a metal. Good thing it's not, and food is about quality, not speed. The food came out 10 minutes after we ordered. That is too fast. The chicken was not hot at all. The only way food comes out that fast is if it's already pre-plated and sitting under a hot plate just waiting for someone to order it. They did the right thing and made us a fresh dish which was much better. 3/5 The ambiance inside is beautiful. A+ This place is amazing for corporate events (but not what I'm rating tonight) The food is good. B I think this is a good place to come for the atmosphere and the drinks. read more

Unfortunately I am unable to comment on the dining experience, as I ended up walking out. I had reserved during restaurant week and when my guest and I appeared, we were cursorily informed that they did not offer the special and quite lovely sounding prix fixe menu on Saturdays.
