I had the roast chicken panini with cheese, avocado, tomato, arugula, onion and mayo $15.95. Nice size, but not a huge sandwich.

I love the arnold palmer but cannot speak to their coffee as I do not usually drink coffee. The service is so quick, it is the ONLY place around you can walk in 5 minutes before street cleaning and make it to your car in time- and the sandwiches are NOT premade they are just so efficient while still being KIND!! I ordered a next day sandwich platter for the employee holiday party in my building. Not only did Giacomo's get it done the next day, it was reasonably priced, delicious high quality and made with love. I usually go for the tuna sandwiches myself- tuna w lettuce tomato add onion and mustard on their homemade semolina or baguette or their tuna egg salad cucumber sandwich (delicious) but their chicken salads and tomato mozzarella pesto caprese are also divine, you really cannot go wrong. My mom loves their veggie and lentil soups! There is a small discount for paying in cash! It's take out/pick up but there are two benches outside to eat and people watch!

An extremely nice small unpretentious restaurant with great food. This time, I had the Murray breakfast sandwich which had salmon, eggs and a potato pancake on a brioche bun. My wife opted for the grilled cheese with avocado. Both dishes were great. Well worth going to when near Broadway and 79.

My companions loved their French toast (i thought the middle was a little too mushy). I got simple scrambled eggs with potato kugle. The eggs were fluffy. I liked the kugle, but it was more like a flat potato pancake. I expected it to be as thick as the toast. The bacon (2 strips) was crisp the way I like it. The food all came out together which was a plus. But our server didn't refill our coffee, bring butter, etc. We had to request these items more than once. Note: our friends who live nearby said their chicken soup is really good.

Can't comment on the service or ambiance since it was a to go order. We enjoyed what we ordered and it was fairly large portions as you would expect for a diner, everything tasted delicious. I had the greek omelette which came with potatoes and toast. The omelette itself had great flavor as did the potatoes (cooked with onions and peppers). The toast (I opted for rye) was warm and not dry. We also tried the buttermilk pancakes (3 per order) which were tasty and moist. My husband had the mexican breakfast wrap which had great spice from the jalapenos. It is expensive for a diner, but that is the case with all diners in Manhattan. Overall a good breakfast spot with portions you expect from a diner.

The food was good - some items were amazing and others were pretty good. I absolutely LOVED the babaghanoush and the Turkish flatbread was another fave.

The restaurant stays true to traditional Turkish flavors, and the food was absolutely delicious!! I had dinner with two friends, one of whom is Turkish, so of course we had to get their official stamp of approval. Thankfully, Bodrum passed the test! I had the lamb tagine, which was hearty, flavorful, and very filling. My friends ordered the stuffed cabbage and lavash, and everyone loved their food. The star of the night was definitely the stuffed cabbage. The cabbage had a flavor and texture that almost reminded me of grape leaves, and it was SO good. Everyone at Bodrum was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!!

I had the Protein Pepper Steak & Eggs for breakfast. It comes with steak, over easy eggs, a side of sautéed spinach, and au poivre sauce. I loved that the steak is cooked well done and my over easy eggs were slightly more over medium. The spinach is spinach, but I didn't love the au poivre sauce. I would probably ask for a different sauce next time. Service was phenomenal. The employees went above and beyond for me and I could really feel the genuine love they have for their customers. One thing that does bother me, however, is they don't recycle at all. Try to bring a reusable cup if you can!
