"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."

"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."

"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."
