We actually found a piece of broken glass in our chips. Yes—glass. When we flagged it, the servers were unresponsive, and their only “solution” was to offer to make us another batch (as if we’d dare eat more after that). To make matters worse, they still planned to charge us for the bill as if nothing had happened.
The service was terrible from the start. The waitress who first greeted us looked like she didn’t want to be there, with an attitude that made us feel unwelcome. The waitstaff overall were inattentive, and when we raised the glass issue, the manager showed no urgency or accountability—almost daring us to keep eating their food.
Between the dangerous food safety issue, the dismissive attitude, and the attempt to still charge us after serving glass, this place is a hard never again.
Paul was an affable engaging guy and skilled at his craft. Definitely will return.
Very friendly staff. Nice ambience. And I finally found the best French dip sandwich in the country.
I know that’s a big statement. But I’ve been searching for decades. The bread, the onion jam, perfect au jus. Everything about it was epic! Seriously!
also at my table was a fantastic lobster roll, and pretty darn good chicken and waffles.
This place rocks!
The wait staff were friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. They were attentive but also gave us space to enjoy our meal. It’s clear that the team here knows how to balance great service with a relaxed dining experience.
The atmosphere at Beach Cafe is warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. It’s easy to see why this place has such a loyal following. The decor is charming, and there’s a welcoming feel as soon as you walk in. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind and enjoy good food in good company.
Whether you’re looking for a great meal or just a place to relax with friends, Beach Cafe is a top choice. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable spot with great food and friendly service on the Upper East Side.
Update 2/17- what a great meal! Ladkas. Outstanding burgers, and of course soup!
French onion soup was very delightful. Chili was simple and good. Devils eggs could use more umph but overall a nice cozy place. The burger,fries,beer $20 is a great deal!
I had their best burger i.e. their bacon & cheese beef burger and it was so good! I love a simple burger that taste amazing. It comes with cottage fries that were also really good:) I have to come back and try their brunch next!
