We went for lunch yesterday. I had a burger and my wife had a salad. Both were great. The burger was large and cooked just right on a fresh brioche roll. My wife's salad was stuffed full of chicken. We also had the mac and cheese bites which were good. We were seated right away even though they were very busy. We will definitely go back

I came here with my 14 month old daughter and we were treated so kindly by everyone who worked there. The food was also delicious and my daughter enjoyed eating while “coloring” aka occasionally trying to eat the crayons :) one of the kind gentlemen who worked there kept coming by to play peekaboo with her, it was very sweet. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We went there for a second time—this time for my sister's birthday. I made a reservation letting them know it was her birthday, and when we arrived at the door, we mentioned it again. We didn't receive any special attention, but that's fine.<br>The food, however, was terrible; it had absolutely no flavor. The burger was so greasy and tasted like plastic. Nothing had any salt—not the fries or potatoes, the steak, nor the salad. Everything was literally bland. It was a terrible disappointment, especially since the breakfast had seemed okay the first time around, but I definitely wouldn't go back.

Not sure if new owner or new cook, but the food here used to be absolutely divine and today it was completely tasteless. Very disappointed.

Even though my kids had been here several times, it was the first time for me. Stopped by for a brunch, and I'm not sure if I'll come back given the wide variety of restaurants in the neighborhood.<br>The place was not packed, but busy on a weekend, and the waiter service was fine. But the kitchen, however, was in the rush I guess.<br>I eat my steak medium, but when it comes to the ground meat, aka burgers, I don't really trust anyone and prefer medium-well or even well done, don't judge, it's just me.<br>Well, I understand that the patty is pretty thick in these burgers, but request is a request. Both our burgers came in almost raw instead. Had to send them back, regret not taking a photo. And it took almost 15 additional minutes to get them back and then one didn't have either tomato or onion slices as originally ordered. Had to request it separately and waited about 5 more minutes. It's not a fine dining place, it's a quick brunch in NYC, so waiting for so long is not acceptable.<br>Sorry, maybe kitchen was short-staffed that weekend, but that was my experience hence an honest review.

I LOVE this place, it’s a must go. Every penny you spend at this place it’s very worth it! The food is absolutely delicious, we go here often and always it’s the best. We usually do take out which is great, but sitting inside, eating and relaxing is SOOO much better. The staff is very friendly, specially the manager Rose she is great.<br><br>Today we tried two new things: the sangria and the pumpkin cheesecake.<br>We also had the skirts stake and the rigatoni a la vodka -I cannot recommend enough.<br><br>We eat here frequently it’s one of my favorite spots. Also here is a picture of the cheesecake, I could not resist trying it before I remembered to take the picture!

Unfortunately, I came across this place while visiting my mother at the hospital. I had no idea the current owner was the owner of Tower Diner. They have beautiful seating outside, providing the weather is nice. There's plenty of seating. I came here two times. I noticed Saturday is really crowded. Service was on point. The food was so amazing. The drinks were great. My favorite is the lollipop chicken wings. The meat was so tender, and it literally fell off the bone and so full of flavor. The margarita pizza was a winner as well. Once you're done eating in this place, make sure you order their ice cream and warm brownie. There's music playing in the background as you're eating your food and having your drinks. Overall, the atmosphere is great. I'd like to come to this diner under better circumstances in the near future and I will.

I love their food. They have different options that can be hit or miss but their classics are excellent. Burgers and pancakes are amazing! Boozy milkshakes are delicious too.

The place is beautiful, with a good atmosphere. You can sit at the bar, and they also have outdoor seating. I ordered chicken and waffles, which were fine. The service could have been better, but I'll visit soon to try more of the menu.

I really enjoyed this place as a breakfast spot with my wife. The service was fast, efficient, and very friendly. The menu is your classic American diner style, but they also offer some unique options – I tried the steak and fries, and it was delicious! The restroom was spacious and clean, and overall, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. A great spot for a morning date.

Food was amazing and the service is good! If you don’t know what to get just ask the waiters to give you suggestions, Melissa and Rosa really helped us get what we wanted!

wanted the American diner experience, so came here for breakfast on Sunday. it was quiet and plenty of seating around. servers were very friendly and offered advice on the food. the waffle was great but the chicken was average with its basic egg batter (not crunchy). pan cakes were spot on, soft and fluffy. overall a good experience.

Went for brunch on a rainy Sunday, the restaurant was packed with families celebrating Mother’s Day and there was quite a line outside, but we somehow managed to find a table for two.<br>The place is absolutely gorgeous, elegant and extravagant old school style diner, with comfy booths and a sexy, well stocked bar.<br>The service is really good, nobody rushed us out despite the large crowd, and multiple people checked on us not intrusively throughout the whole brunch.<br>The food was really good, we really enjoyed the burger and apps, a bit disappointed in the chicken sandwich which was quite dry.<br>The absolute star of the meal was the boozy banana split milkshake, literally to die for.<br>Wonderful experience, def going back soon!
