While the famous Waldorf salad is beautiful, it’s too tangy and unbalanced. Preferred the cauliflower side. Def an old media hangout: Strahan, Rather & Carl Bernstein all in the corner

Mike Kalen

While I didn't like Peninsula bar , I loved this bar/restaurant. Great chef and diverse menu - small plates through nice entrees. Good mixed crowd. Try the duck confit tacos !!

beautiful dining room and great spot for a long long lunch in midtown - a place to be seen and not seen.

Melody Gambino

A bit stuffy but great food. Fried polenta with goat cheese and a golden beet was out of this world. Nice big room in the back for private events

Super expensive but great for a power lunch . Staff is very nice and makes you feel like a regular...even if your not.

The Corcoran Group

See and be seen at this stellar restaurant . Try to grab a table in the Garden Room to dine surrounded by art from Jasper Johns, David Hockney and Frank Stella.

pricey ... but this place is such a time capsule from the 80s-90s that it’s almost worth it. food is actually pretty good.

Will Arnone

A beautiful place with a very personable owner who visits every table. Creative diverse menu . Eggplant ravioli is especially delightful.

Robin Taylor Roth

Do ask the price of the catch of the day, before ordering. Today's Dover sole was $75, considerably above most of the entrées.

Reeves

The Salmon Tartare & Rosé Champagne was delicious. Very friendly atmosphere

Chris Phillips

Classic old school media hang out spot. The Eton mess was a great dessert .

Jonathan Perkel

The new menu is amazing! Duck confit sliders , Korean tacos , it's all delicious...

Sit down for lunch at Michael’s and you're sure to spot a few celebs, like David Patrick Columbia of New York Social Diary. And follow Michael’s on Twitter for a list of the literati in attendance. Read more

very cool spot to see celebrities

Make sure you notice the (now) vintage 80s artwork. This place is frozen in a very different time.

Tim Clarke

Have a breakfast meeting here!

Ricky Sherrill

Good for breakfast but a little pricy for what you get.

Louis Brusco

Stay away! Place was empty on Sat night. Waitress doubled as bartender - drinks horrible. Food all came put ice cold and they screwed up my order. Menu far too limited for restaurant of this price.

Brandon Smith

Very nice staff .

Stephanie Parascandolo

Never again! Overpriced, ice cold food, no bartender . The waitress was the bartender ! They charge for a roll, $3.Never again. Pretty place, zero personality. Hot drink came out cold, food was cold!

Benjy Weinberger

Fish entrees were great. Desserts were terrible.

John Pomeroy

Try a rapid infused @PurityVodka martini !

Monica Castellanos

it's always friggn' freezing in there but the braised mushroom app is ace!

Chris Simon

The best blueberry pancakes in the world!

Mitch M

Overrated. They cannot seem to differentiate between "small" and "large" plates. And they charge for bread . #cranky
