I go to Joe Allen’s all the time. My favorite Broadway haunt. But they sat our table of 4 next to the waiters station and it was uncomfortably bustling and noisy.

The food was delicious, fresh, with large portions and several options for vegetarians and vegans. The homemade veggie burger and rosemary fries were delicious and the sides and salads were large enough for a meal. Service was outstanding and the atmosphere became lively and louder later in the evening, but was cozy and quiet before the true dinner hour--though the seats are very close together so it would not be the ideal choice for an intimate, romantic dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend the Blue Dog Cookhouse and Bar and will definitely return if I'm in that neighborhood again.

Unexpectedly FANTASTIC! Food, Service, ambience and design.. excellent. A new GEM to relax and unwind in- while taking a break from the elegant but frenetic atmosphere of Grand Central terminal. Can't wait to return.
