A classic New York City spot, great for business casual lunches . The atrium makes for a great dining experience! The Cobb salad and the calamari are great. Pair with the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc .

The Corcoran Group

Great for brunch or dinner , and it's always worth it to grab a table on the patio if it's nice out. If you're dining here for dinner , definitely order the sea bass .

Hans Haupt

The Grand Marnier Marinated Duck Breast & Confit Leg was sublime. The duck was succulent & filled with a delectable orange flavour. The crepe had hints of cinnamon & complemented the duck perfectly.

Elizabeth Burstein

Great service - beautiful atmosphere. I had a rose and israeli salad which was def more of an appetizer portion. Brady had the steak frites .

Martin Slusarz

Restaurant has a pleasant ambience with seating for parties of all sizes. Menu has wide range of options priced reasonably. Char grilled tenderloin was excellent as was service. Will go again!

Marie La Rue

Visit in the summertime to enjoy this little oasis in the heart of Midtown. Convenient location in Bryant Park . Mix of tourists and business lunches .

Karen

Super conveniently located inside Bryant Park for stellar views . The upstairs bar doesn't get too crowded . The drinks are pricier due to the added value of being in the park .

Mike Friedlich

Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/Avocado & chipotle mayo is amazing. They give you two pieces of chicken . Cobb salad is also great.

Taylor

Protip: get a table on the roof. It's a great view of Bryant Park and can be less crowded than inside or the patio .

Bryant Park Grill is a midtown staple. It's upscale but not pretentious or absurdly expensive . Dishes are sort of hit or miss & vegan entrees are scarce. Portions were really small but still worth it!

Tommy Dodge

They have couscous salad with lobster on the menu, but the better idea is to order the vegetarian quinoa cherry wheat salad , and then have them add the lobster !!

S

They open for brunch at 11.30 ???????? nice terrace seating area .. Shakshooka is very good.

Eli Sherer

Great brunch overlooking Bryant Park . Expect large portions . A bit loud if sitting in the middle of the room. Window tables are nice.

Mark Durney

Great outdoor bar . Just close enough to the public library to feel like you're getting some culture and intellectual stimulation while downing vodka tonics out of plastic cups.

Gizem

Definitely recommend it for business meeting. Great service even for lunch time. I've had the salmon and the chocolate cake both delicious.

Jorge Cazzorla

One of the amazing venues in NYC for a wedding or event celebration. The food, the service and the attention to details.

Rachel K

Please emphasize more how much I'm supposed to tip you. Jesus, can you be more passive aggressive? Good outdoor seating , lackluster service and food.

Angelina Zeppieri

delicious food! we had the lamb kebabs and a salad to start, the seafood tartar was excellent

✰ David Mathison ✰

Nice stop after walking/studying in the NYC Public Library . Beautiful 4-season view of Bryant park in summer and ice skating in winter

Christine Smith

The nearby outdoor public restrooms are the nicest in the city . Lines are often long with tourists , but worth it. So clean .

Nataly Titunina

No way. Hostess and food terrible. Fish cooked from frozen stuff! Red wine in small cheap glassesInside design (left, in building side) is cozy and nice.

Denis Sosnovtsev

There's outdoor seating facing Bryant Park , so a great place to go for outdoor brunch if it's nice out.

Mike M.

Decent place for lunch in the area. I was, however, surprised when my chicken Caesar salad came out as a salad and a side of chicken .

Young C

Jumbo lump crab cakes , persimmon frisée salad , sashimi tuna tacos are all solid choices! Yum!

Nadia IssaBella

Their burratta salad is like heaven in your mouth ????

Mila Mila

All lunch sandwiches are served with watermelon which really add a nice touch for the summer!

Jeff Solomon

Get a beer after work here in the summer

Deniz Dorbek

Nothing is good about this place except the park view ..I returned my mashy risotto and ordered Chicken cobb and fries . Fries came super soggy and the salad was just ok. Don’t ever try, tourist trap…!

Garry Tan

Great place for NYC people watching

Michael G.

The Sea Grill is absolutely delicious. Big portions on all entrees

marco Giunta

Getting a reservation you're not easy and help is not always great

DoubleDeuce

Service, price and setting fit for a New York City tourist but the location is definitely the value here.

Shelley

For dessert try the Bananas for Bananas . Incredible! I also had the quinoa salad that I don't recommend.

Carolyn Forget

Good food, classic New York ambiance, next to the NY public library . Beautiful winter here!

Anne Saulovich

A table on the roof is my fav. Less crowded and nice view of Bryant Park .

Kong Tse

The food is excellent. Haven't had a bad meal. However the service has gotten pretty bad the last couple of times here. Service seems to be heading downhill.

Ryan Ambs

The food comes suspiciously quickly and is underwhelming when it does.

C Cullen

A respite from the armpit of Manhattan. Great menu and super friendly bartenders . This is not a tip..just sayin'

Leigh Anne

The free dessert with a pic of a bird was a nice treat. Beautiful restaurant , reasonably priced, great dinner .

F Patte

The Grilled Hanger steak has really good flavor! Frozen margarita is made with just enough kick. Enjoy!

Ashley Rose

Pricy outdoor option for HH. Fun every once and a while

MaryRose Kopchinsky

Quinoa salad was awesome!!!! Also must try tomato and mozzarella appetizer !!!!!

Charlottes

Nice rooftop bar atop of the restaurant with views over Bryant Park .

David A

Tremendous venue with a view of the park . Great place to meet for a drink. Food is mediocre unfortunately.

Faith Redding

Amazing food but a little pricy .

Tim Clarke

Great patio for drinks with a park view .

Martin Slusarz

Awesome place to have lunch , relax, enjoy friends and people watch !

Mary Elise Chavez

Great fare, cocktails and ambiance but beware the aggressive vultures that like to swarm, then attack. Pretending to speak another language usually helps.

Christina Bergin

Wait staff is friendly . And the wait wasn't long considering it was the middle of December.

Irina Perfect

The oysters were orgasmic. I was pleasantly surprised. Great place for fancy lunch .
