    The maitre d’ was about as rude as it gets. Completely inappropriate. Otherwise was the same as it was the last 100 times I ate there. Decent.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Pershing Square for the first time, and I’m absolutely ecstatic I did! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service, food etc. exceeded all my expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and it truly made my visit special. I’ll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience and service.

    Went for a business meeting breakfast and the noise level was a little too rowdy for that, but the energy is fantastic if you’re seeking a fun, New York experience near Grand Central.

    Pretty overpriced for what amounts to diner food. I get breakfast is popular due to GCT proximity but food quality should match the price.

    Wanted light meal. Got appetizers and a bottle of wine. Server charged a couple of bucks more for the wine my cousin had to call their attention to the mistake. Food was good. Service was better than average. They didn’t rush us.
