Bryant Park Grill

“We've been to the BPG many times and have rarely been disappointed. The setting inside Bryant Park is always gorgeous and it's a pleasure to dine in the covered outdoors patio in the summer. The menu, while not exactly groundbreaking, is always varied and satisfying. We would recommend the crab cakes, the grilled octopus and the mussel toasts. For dessert, the olive oil lemon cake was delicious.”

“What an amazing spot - my fav meal in NYC. Steak frites were perfect, alongside delicious cheesecake and sangria cocktail. Great views of the park. Was lively without being too loud or overwhelming. Server was super lovely and attentive. Would absolutely recommend!!”

“This was my first time dining at Bryant Park Grill, and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations. Our server Lena was a darling: attentive, warm, and made sure everything was perfect. We started with the jumbo lump crab cake and salad, which was fresh and flavorful. My friend had the cashew-crusted salmon (he swapped the potatoes for asparagus, great choice!), and I had the pan-roasted branzino, cooked to perfection. The blackberry nojito seltzer was a hit! We ended the evening with a chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream that was the perfect sweet touch. Despite the buzz of the city around us, the atmosphere felt calm and intimate. A little oasis right in the heart of it all. I guess when you have an amazing date and great food, nothing else really matters 😊 Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!”

“Great spot for dinner. The hen of the Woods appetizer was delicious. My entree was well seasoned, but could have been warmer. The apple dessert was OK - crust was too dense. Service was great and good size pours on the wines!”

“We were very let down. Marked that we were celebrating a special occasion which was acknowledged by no one. Both hosts/managers hosting felt irritated and offered zero warmth or connection upon entering and being seated. Soon as we hit the table multiple parties near us were asking where there servers were, even getting up and going to the host stand to ask why a waiter hasn't come for their order. We experienced the same delay and decided to just order drinks given the obvious concerns from other patrons about the lack of attentiveness and concern for their business or their family's meals. Our waiter while doing his job, was just like the host stand, no real connection, no small talk, no how are you, thanks for coming. Just to the point and not attached to the vibes of his customers or engaging in any meaningful way. This is the last thing I expect from an icon that makes their money from hosting special occasions and charges what they do for dishes and cocktails. I'll pay the price for quality all day, but the service was truly horrible on Sat January 3rd when we visited around 7:00pm to the point we felt ripped off. The atmosphere was classy, warm, inviting... But the people running the business that evening couldn't match that expectation, and their impact brought the entire evening down. Dozens of experiences in NYC where restaurants are hyped up and deliver, not here. BP Grill should reevaluate who staffs a critical holiday weekends and I hope others don't walk away feeling so disappointed like we did.”
