    What an indulgent meal and fun experience! We had been wanting to try Bad Roman for awhile but the reservations are always full. We finally got lucky! The space is really beautiful and cozy, it feels special. It never got too loud even though it was quite full. Our server was friendly and never far away if we needed anything. Food and drinks arrived quickly and everything was delicious. We loved the shared pasta and the frozen tiramisu especially. Others have wonderful pictures and descriptions of the food, everything was delicious. Best we've ever had? No. But this place is an experience. Some of the dishes are overpriced but you're in Columbus Circle so it goes with the territory. Go have fun and don't worry what the check reads.

    We went for brunch during the holidays. Service was perfect. Attentive and professional. The food and drinks were awesome. We had peach Bellini’s which were made with a real peach puree. Appetizers we had the Ricotta dip and Fried zucchini- so good especially the Ricotta with honey and crisps. Entrees were delicious and hot. We had affogato for dessert and espresso martinis- both perfect. Very memorable meal!

    Quality Meats did not disappoint. We were hesitant to eat here due to our recent letdowns at various steakhouses. From the drinks to the steaks everything was superb. My wife and I both ordered the filet and were impressed. We each ordered a side, as well. We highly recommend the corn crème brûlée with the brussels sprouts coming in a close second. The service was impeccable, as well. We highly recommend this steakhouse and will look to visit it each time we return to the city.
