   Such a classic iconic New York spot… great ambiance, excellent service, delicious seafood. And, always fun to go outside restaurant to whispering room and take in grand central station… if you’re old enough, start or finish the meal with the Campbell apartment ! Love this place.

   It was truly a terrible experience. The service is unmatched—in the worst way possible. They don’t attend to anyone, pay no attention, and it took us over an hour just to receive a single dish of food. Not to mention the bad attitude of the waitstaff.

   Great spot to meet up for very good seafood. The selection of oysters is outstanding, as is the quality. We also had the white bean soup, the tuna tartare and the Caesar salad with shrimp and crab - all were excellent. Cost was pretty typical for NYC. The service was a bit aggressive - I’m sure they meant well but they were clearing plates before everyone had finished apps and then again for mains… so the training needed work.

   I’ve been there many times a long time ago. I went back with my family and it wasn’t as I remember. Sadly I won’t go anymore.

   Beautiful old restaurant full of charm. Tasting oysters from around the country was a wonderful experience. The hostess must have been having a bad day but our server was quite attentive.

   The food was okay but not great. The service was very slow. We were seated on time but our appetizers weren’t served until 45 minutes later. After that the service went down hill. For a restaurant where we paid about $500 for 5 people, we would have expected better. Don’t waste your time and money!
