Best Lunch Restaurants in Downtown / Union Square

other than being served chicken consommé before we were asked what our food restrictions were it was a lovely afternoon tea at the Rotunda. my fiancé is English and he was impressed! the staff were friendly, accommodating and happy to serve us. the food was surprisingly filling. desserts were decadent. sandwiches were scrumptious. the NUIT À VERSAILLES tea was fragrant and soothing especially after getting drenched in the morning rain. the ambiance was delightful as its history.

Celebrated our anniversary at O - and we enjoyed every moment of it. From personalized menus, to the attention of the staff and quality of the food. We had a 9 course meal and it took us from 7 pm to 10.30 pm to go through all of the portions. The portions are small l but by the end we were full - even though I skipped a lunch before coming there. The restaurant gave us a small cake at the end of the meal to mark the special occasion but we had to get it to go as we were full.

Wonderful service and good enough food. The room is cozy with a fire.

Three of us dined here before our show at the Curran, just one block away. Started with the large sized Cesar to share. I had 2 appetizers- I eat pasta and pizza at home. So the Kampachi crudo was great as were the meatballs. Plenty of food and a chance to try more things. One friend had the chicken leg confit over polenta and she loved it. The other had the spaghetti with clams and loved hers. A very good meal, excellent service and lively atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Lovely service and some high quality food. Our sever was so very sweet and really kept her eye on the clock for our 730pm show. The pasta was amazing. The pizzas are good. Salad a narrate super yummy.
