Agree with rude references to wait staff - and not very attentive staff...but food was excellent...and atmosphere festive....close to the park for a late afternoon lunch. Priced reasonably for lunch in NYC w/ glass of wine. RUE 57 Tuna Salad is fantastic!

were never offered a drink, a different server ...not ours...took our order...got it wrong....they brought back 3 different meals all not what we ordered. the main dish came out without the sides. the sides came out after finishing the main dish and the sauce for both the entre and the sides came out after we had finished eating. definitely do not recommend going anywhere near the place . the only thing that was good was the fish was fresh and the caesar salad was decent.

I ordered a late lunch ( caesar salad with chicken slices), a side of mashed potatoes and a glass of wine.. price? $ 40.. so very expensive.. but the salad was good, and fresh..the parmesan mashed potatoes were great, crusted on top.. very tasty. Sauvignon blanc was also very nice ( $ 10 a glass which seems average in manhattan). Atomosphere was just ok on day i went, but i have been here before and if you sit near window and windows are open during summer time, you cant get better than that. But it was a cold day... so inside it was very crowded. One suggestion i would have would be to space tables further apart, it was hard for me to get out of my table because it pretty much touched another table adjacent to mine. So in summary: Good food and wine and service, just expensive...

The food was fine but the behavior of our waitress and another waiter was just plain odd and unprofessional. While our waitress was nice and did not mess up our order, she asked if we were ready to place our order then disappeared after we said yes. Literally just walked away as if we said we werent ready. Then i realized it was because another table asked for their check. She shouldve waited for our order then rung them up. Then later as we were still eating our main courses, she asked us if we wanted dessert. UHM...i'm still eating? And I can't forget to mention the waiter who too, seemed nice but he bounced around, talked really loud and addressed people like "Hey man, be right back with ya!" from like 5 feet away. We aren't in a sports bar.

We were looking for a late lunch and this was recommended by the Ritz. The food was delicious, service great, kitchen was fast, wine was chilled, desert was excellent. Based on earlier reviews can't be sure if this was an anomaly or they have turned it around.

Enough said.

This place has seriously gone downhill over the past couple of years. I used to think the food was pretty consistent and a good value but the last couple of times I went here I was very disappointed. At this point it is almost equal to le express which is a fair priced french diner. The mussels I had last time were fishy, way overcooked and gritty not to mention cold and the white wine was served warm. When I asked for a chilled glass of white wine they brought back the same wine in a chilled glass. Big turn off on a hot summer day when you just want a glass of crisp cold white wine. I also will say that I feel that the dishes (especially the sushi) are way overpriced and just average. The service was okay but since I went on a Monday it was obvious that the B team was in full effect. Will not be returning back here.
