    The setting is gorgeous and historic. But the food is very average and outrageously priced for what you’re getting. Service, while competent, was not worth the price. Glad I went once, but I doubt I’ll ever go back. If I’m paying that much, the food and service should be more remarkable.

    Go for lunch, not for a real date night. Great food, terrible service. Piles of empty cups on our table, would have ordered more drinks but got tired of having to call over the waiters who were standing around the register chatting every time we needed anything. Food was very, very slow to come out.

    The service was surly, the oyster stew was a thin broth with 5 oysters. No potato, no carrots.. Not what I remember from years ago. The raw oysters were great and the broiled scallops divine but my seat had a hole in it and there was fallen silverware on the floor. Disappointed. Spent $220. Won't go back.

    Great fresh seafood. Unfortunately, they were out of several items. If you don’t like noise, consider eating in the saloon.

    Such a classic iconic New York spot… great ambiance, excellent service, delicious seafood. And, always fun to go outside restaurant to whispering room and take in grand central station… if you’re old enough, start or finish the meal with the Campbell apartment ! Love this place.

    It was truly a terrible experience. The service is unmatched—in the worst way possible. They don’t attend to anyone, pay no attention, and it took us over an hour just to receive a single dish of food. Not to mention the bad attitude of the waitstaff.
