Bryant Park Grill

Great ambiance looking out at park. Nice lighting and acoustics, and convenient to Grand Central.Our service was good and we enjoyed our meals. Burrata with tomatoes to start and then I had miso crusted cod. Fish nicely cooked and vegetables delicious. A friend had the chicken paillard which was a bit overcooked...another had a seafood paella type dish that she loved.

The service was incredible yet when the burger made me violently sick only a few minutes after taking a few bites, I spent 30 minutes in their bathroom. They were okay to take it off the bill!!!!! I ordered a burger medium to medium well done and the center was cold. When I tasted the raw meat it was not good. Hopefully they cook their food now!

No wait for a table at 5:00 pm on a Saturday nightTrying Caesar SaladWhite table cloths on each tableFriendly service

Service was amazing! Food was great!! Environment and scenery was excellent. Nice outside seating but also really cute inside.Our waitress went above and beyond to assist us and was very courteous and nice. Something I didn't expect so much here in NYC. This is right next to Bryant Park and the NYC library. Their food portions are huge. But we got something light since it was late and it was delicious.

Visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for my Birthday brunch. Twas a beautiful day and the dining room had such great ambience. Glad we reserved because it was packed. We planned on having a day in city so we didn't want to eat too heavy.The hubs got the Crispy Korean Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which came with Kimchi, Sriracha Mayo, Spicy Asian Slaw, which he loved. The perfect portion and amount of spice. My daughter, who is a vegetarian, opted for the Breakfast Burrito, which consisted of Scrambled Eggs, Refried Beans, Guacamole, Pico De Gallo in a Toasted Wheat Tortilla, served with a side salad. I had the Chilaquiles, which was served with a Hen of the Woods mushroom, along with Fried Fresh Farm Eggs, Avocado, Oaxaca & Cotija Cheese. Quite filling. Couldn't even finish. Kick myself for not finishing because they were that good.We partook in some adult beverages. The hubs had a spicy margarita, which consisted of casamigos spicy tequila, jalapeño simple syrup & fresh lime juice. It was delicious and packed a punch. I had the tropical white sangria. So good. Can't recall the exact recipe but it was delicious. Tips. Very important. Always reserve - can get packed. Everything was so delicious. Will return soon! Didn't get pics of my daughters burrito.

What a gorgeous site Bryant Park is - the landmark library of New York, the gorgeous greenery and of course the beautifully designed restaurant which has outdoor rented seating and the spacious cheerful indoor- plus there's a bar with tables if all you need is a cocktail. The BPG is wonderful- reserved a table days in advance to ensure a perfect birthday for my son and everyone was made to feel so happy and cared for - great staff! Food was impeccable - the duck salad was waaaay beyond anything my husband and I expected- confit and fried breast: done to perfection. Probably the best I've ever had- better than duck I've had in northern Italy, Scotland or Paris. Prices were average New York- but not stupid money New York. Light filled and beautifully adorned for the holidays - this is a destination for natives and tourists alike

As someone who frequents Broadway and a fan of the Bryant Park Winter Market, I have always had my eye on the restaurant located in the park, which sits directly behind the New York Public Library. When you think of New York City in romantic movies, this is the setting you can envision. We were lucky to grab an early reservation on a gorgeous evening, conducive to eating outside. While the inside decor is beautiful, I highly recommend eating outdoors if the weather allows.We started with cocktails: Rosa in the Park and Smoking Pineapple. Both on the sweet side, but the names caught our attention and we were suckers for a great pun. We were both eyeing the salmon entree and the burger, so we decided to order both and try each other's plate. We left room for dessert because, why not? Chocolate s'more and strawberry shortcake rounded out our meal.THE GROWS: This is a great place to people-watch if you are dining outdoors. The flip side is people walking through the park are also ogling you, and if you sit near the edge of the outdoor section, people can almost bump into you as they speed past. Service moves quickly. This is great for pre-theater dining or if you have somewhere else to be, but it also gives the impression that meals here are not leisurely and it's an in-and-out process. Quick turnover.THE GLOWS: The quality of the burger rivaled some local steakhouses. It was cooked to the perfect temperature, as requested, and the fries were light and seasoned well. The salmon was cooked with a sear and the accompaniments were great. The showstopper, for me, was the strawberry shortcake dessert. They used biscuits and mascarpone cheese, along with fresh strawberries. It was dense, packed with flavor, and not overly sweet. Kudos!Next time you are in Manhattan and looking for a place to eat that allows you to engage in an icon of NYC, check out Bryant Park Grill!

Great location if you are going to NYC at holiday time for the Christmas shops! Service was good, food portions were big! A generous amount of avocado and goat cheese were inside the omelette. All portions were big !The Tables spaced nicely apart so you won't feel like anyone is on top of you. The one thing I wished was that it had more holiday decorations inside the main dining room. We made reservations a few weeks I'm advance and we're seated on the main dining room. The additional heated tent on the side has a more festive feel with a nicely decorated tree in it. It seems people who did not have reservations were seated there, which seemed odd. I think they should ask customers with reservations which room they would like to be seated in. Other than that, good location to wander around to shop before or after dining.

If fast was an Olympic sport this place would get a metal. Good thing it's not, and food is about quality, not speed. The food came out 10 minutes after we ordered. That is too fast. The chicken was not hot at all. The only way food comes out that fast is if it's already pre-plated and sitting under a hot plate just waiting for someone to order it. They did the right thing and made us a fresh dish which was much better. 3/5The ambiance inside is beautiful. A+This place is amazing for corporate events (but not what I'm rating tonight)The food is good. BI think this is a good place to come for the atmosphere and the drinks.

No value for terrible preparation.I did not enjoy anything other than the location. Very unhappy looking servers and annoyed to take an order
