We were fortunate to be able to eat outside overlooking the park. The food arrived quickly, and the ambiance was great. I’m giving the service a 4 out of 5 star. Servers kept wanting to take our food away while we were still eating. It happened 3 times. We were chatting, and there weren’t any lines waiting for tables. While we couldn’t understand this, I figured I would mention it here. When we were done, they cleared the dishes, and we asked for the check. It took over 10 minutes to het that. I’m glad we made it to our function on time. I would back again or the restaurant next store, I beliethey own the Market Grille. Thank you.

August in NYC and we wanted to dine al fresco for lunch… the Bryant Park Cafe is an excellent choice! Good, fast service, a full-service bar, and very good food choices whether tourists or, like us, locals. Their specialty cocktails are well thought out for the season. We had the Summer Nights (vodka with passionfruit) and Takes Dos To Tango, (tequila with mango). The battered shrimp tacos were topped with guacamole, spicy salsa, lime creme fraiche and chopped salad. Three of them served on soft corn tortillas and they were outstanding. The Mediterranean Chicken entree was grilled chicken with orzo, artichokes, tomatoes, olives, capers, onions and feta cheese drizzled with olive oil – a super healthy, light entree perfect for a warm August afternoon. For dessert, we tried the recommended carrot cake, which was moist, nutty and delicious. I recommend BP Cafe for anyone in Midtown who wants a good, tasty meal in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Food is delicious. Not anything crazy and a little over priced but it is cause of the location. Drink was delicious. My server was amazing and gave me great recommendations, was quick but not annoying. It was the perfect spot to have my lunch break and watch the Broadway in Bryant Park. Nice outdoor spot to lunch if you are ok with spending 30-60 on lunch. The sandwich was delicious and very filling And drink was perfect on the hot day that it was.

We were at the Maker’s Market and decided to eat lunch at the Cafe. We were seated immediately. Staff was very friendly. Service by Tiffany was awesome. She was attentive and came around to check often. Water was filled as needed. I shared a Jerusalem platter and quesadilla with my cousin. The hummus and pita were delicious and filling. The quesadilla was filled with cheese and great also. We did not leave hungry. And, the prices were not unreasonable, especially for the location. While the proximity to the traffic of 40th st made for a loud distraction, that is the “charm” of the city. We would 100% visit again.

Lovely venue with great outdoors dining (covered and uncovered). Great menu selection, however the lunch menus felt more like a dinner menu but the food was delicious. Tad pricey for lunch, so be ready for that. On a nice day, it’s a great place to go and enjoy the weather and have a nice meal. Was impressed how fast the food was served.

Had a quick rest at Bryant Park Cafe on our way to Times Square. We got some sorbet and ice cream refreshments. Cool and relax environment. The bartender was nice and even treated us extra water.

After touring the New York Public Library (a must-see!!!), my guest & I grabbed lunch at Bryant Park Café. Outside seating was shaded with great views of the park & passers-by. Our server was courteous, efficient & attentive. I really enjoyed the BBQ Pork Slider with fries. While lunch prices were high (even for New York), I figure you’re paying for the view & ambiance. And as a tourist, you’re going to splurge anyway. So yes, I’d eat here again.

A great afternoon spot to enjoy good food and great company. We ordered a few items off their dessert menu and were happy with the variety of sweet treats. A light, tropical carrot cake was the tables favorite. The sorbets had big refreshing flavors. The chocolate cake was dense and could have use more of the mousse. It was wonderful to people watch and enjoy the sun and shade.

I must say the staff here are exceptional, from the moment you’re greeted from the host to the server who takes care of you bravo to the whole staff! The food here is good pretty standard not gonna win any awards but the area is a bit Of a dead Zone so what can ya do.! My server was great, the kitchen messed up my shrimp tacos (was requested to be grilled but came out fried) all good I ate them anyways. But she (my server) felt a bit bad even though wasn’t her fault and gave me a complimentary glass of wine. Will return when I’m in the hood!
