    We were at Grand Central and wanted breakfast before heading to the US Open. This place is right across 42nd st. It was perfect. They have a dining room if everyone in your party is ordering a full breakfast and a café area if you just want a coffee or croissant type items. The hostess was pleasant. Most of the waiters worked as a team. I had the eggs and bacon and it came with toast and a fabulous salad. I tasted my friends very pricey blueberry pancakes. I think they were about 25 bucks for 4 pancakes and nothing else. They were delicious but not 25 dollar delicious. I also tasted the homefries and they had a good flavor. I would go back.

    French Toast

    Just about what you're going to get for being in a tourist spot. $30 French toast, $28 pancakes, and $35 specials. Large space to spread out. Very clean and attentive service. The French toast was very nicely displayed and cooked well. The fruit were very fresh and the bacon was crunchy, just the way I love it. Large portion for the price.

    Steak Sandwich

    Always great service, central location and usually plenty of space. Nice menu with something for everyone. Soups salads beers wine whiskey and burgers . If they have the pot pie on special try it it's special . Burgers are good . Steak sandwich is a little light on but tasty. Guess it's a function of economics bc prices up dramatically and portions down.

    The service was excellent from the staff but not from our server she forgot to place our order the food was cold and bland the location of the restaurant is popular and the inside has great chemistry I will have to try again and hope that the service is on top of their game. It has a bar and it is lively I expected more flavor and luckier ambiance

    This place has become a favorite spot to meet up with one of my friends. Whether it be for a quick bite to eat or drinks. Today we dropped by for a catchup over a delicious Tempranillo Rioja and Prosecco. We sat at the bar and were well taken care of by Mark despite the bar being full.

    Very cozy and beautiful decor. Waiters were very nice but everything took quite a long time even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. Food was good but pretty pricey for nothing special.

    Had a wonderful meal at Persian Square. The pot pie was flavorful and comforting, though I would have appreciated a slightly crispier topping. Overall, a great experience

    Signature Chicken Pot PIe

    Visited the establishment on a Thursday night for a much needed drink and meet up with long time friends. We chose to enter this place b/c it seemed quiet and it wasn't packed to the gills as bars in the vicinity were. Located under a bridge, right across the street from the legendary Grand Central Station. I felt the ambiance was very nice. Everyone of the staff we dealt with was very courteous and attentive. Their menu is not very extensive; reminiscent of that of a diner, but with more quality. We got a lobster roll, a burger and a chicken pot pie. Everything was as one would expect. It is a cool spot to sit down and have a conversation with friends over a drink, but it is a bit on the pricey side ($28 for a pot pie).

    Came for impromptu dinner. Tried the crab cakes, mozzarella and tomato salad and the salmon. All were fine. Great location. Mid line pricing. Gets loud due to noise.

    My favorite spot for breakfast in the city, I've been dining at Pershing Square for over 20 years and they remain incredibly consistent. My wife and I had Christmas Eve Brunch at Pershing Square to start our holiday celebration. As always, the service was exceptional, the atmosphere was energetic and the food was delicious. I went with my favorite, Belgium Waffles with berries and a side of bacon. The berries were all fresh, in fact the blackberries were enormous in size and flavor. The bacon was just the right amount of chewy and crisp. And the coffee is our perfection. Only negative was that they didn't top off my coffee, but in the end maybe that was a good thing The atmosphere here is very warm and friendly. The cafe is under the Park Avenue viaduct, across from the main entrance to Grand Central Station along 42nd street. If you're a tourist (as we were before moving here in 2011), brunch here is a must!

    We were in the vicinity of Grand Central and in the mood for a late breakfast. Pershing Square offers fast service, tasty dishes, and interesting architecture. The breakfast menu is available 7AM - 11:45AM, Monday to Friday. Our waiter arrived promptly, and we shared: * EGGS BENEDICT $20: Canadian bacon, English muffin, hollandaise, house salad * FRESH FRUIT BOWL $15: Fresh seasonal fruit The Eggs Benedict was very good, the egg was nicely cooked, and the dish was well executed. Most of the fruit was good, some of the melon was not sufficiently ripe. We also ordered one iced tea, for a total bill of $44. Overall, a good, fast breakfast worthy of a four-star rating.

    Nice old timey ambiance! Most of the servers were very polite and the service was quicker than expected! The French toast I got was amazing, and so was my hot chocolate drink I got! The eggs were also great!

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

    After a weekend of rich, indulgent meals, we were looking for something a little more…read morestraightforward and comforting. We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.

Service was so bad she deserved no tip whatsoever. On top of that, the food was overpriced and nowhere near worth the attitude.
