    The Peninsula New York is celebrating in Clement Restaurant with an elegant Easter Brunch for all. Enjoy a delicious brunch buffet with a variety of options including Garlic-studded Roasted Lamb Leg, Peppercorn Crusted Ribeye, Spring Risotto and more. Younger guests will also enjoy a special food stations, a visit from the Easter Bunny plus the chance to play with our baby animal farm featuring ducklings, chicks and bunnies! With a hefty price tag of $195 a person, no alcohol or soft drinks included. Only unlimited tap water, the finest NYC has to offer. Service is good. Not sure if this is all that worth it. Sad but true. Cheers

    Clement is an excellent hotel restaurant with good food and service. Brunch is particularly good. It is also a beautiful and calming room.

    "Shakshuka"

    Soooo overpriced even for a nice hotel but we wanted to enjoy a fancier breakfast inside the Peninsula Hotel before doing some shopping nearby! Interior was classy but felt a little stuffy in the dining room even though there weren't many of us there for breakfast. Ordered (with prices listed because they were almost offensive lol) *Truffle Omelet w/ freshly shaved truffles ($62 or $64) *Shakshuka w/ toast ($34) *2 Glasses of Organic OJ ($16 each) *Home Fries Side ($16) The food was good but neither it nor the service nor the ambiance lived up to the prices and I never got the glass of water that I asked a few times for :/

    Good service and environment, which is expected since it's the Peninsula. The restaurant wasn't the easiest to find because of the layout of the hotel, and I could imagine it could be a bit challenging for the mobility impaired.

    Pumpkin Cheese Cake

    Greatest experience I've had at New York. Food was delicious, ambience was quiet and calm, and service was great. - Chia Seed Pudding seemed like it was made with coconut milk. Fatty-ness from walnut and fruits had a great harmony of sweet, sour, and nutty combination - Korean Fried Chicken was crispy and the sauce was well contained. Waffle was probably the BEST one I've had in my life. It was very soft, perfectly cooked all the way inside - Royale Benedict was on point. Eggs were cooked perfectly, and hollandaise sauce striked a great balance from the dish getting too heavy - Cornflaked French Toast had subtle cinnamon sugar flavor with crunchy texture for a pleasant surprise - Pumpkin cheesecake was rich. We tried many cheesecakes around the city, had been disappointed by some of the places with degraded quality, but this hit the craving spot for us Great experience, and will definitely visit again next year!

    This is a very elegant and cozy restaurant. Perfect place to take your important guests. All the dishes are tasty and nicely presented. I am most amazed by pastry chef Richard's creation. He came out to explain all the beautiful pastries that he made. It was truly an amazing experience and a lifetime memory.

    The Clement is one of those places that you feel at home at from the moment you walk in to when you leave. We ate there for both a dinner and a breakfast. Service was impeccable and food was outstanding. Only exception was truffles on eggs Benedict even though menu didn't mention it. Truffle way overpowered the eggs. Definitely recommend The Clement for a nice dinner or breakfast.

    This place was a phenomenal experience. I have never experienced such amazing service. Everything I ate was top notch and prepared perfectly.

    Note: Restaurant Week Summer 2018 review. Wow. I don't quite recall how I initially came across Clement, but doing some typical (obsessive) Restaurant Week research, it looked like Clement had a very decent offering and is relatively close-by to where I work, so...why not have some fancy dinner - we all gotta eat, right? As other reviewers helpfully pointed at, the restaurant itself is located in the Peninsula Hotel and is just a quick flight upstairs as you enter. I was happily greeted and promptly seated. While the restaurant wasn't super busy at the time (8pm on Thursday), I must say the staff is impeccably attentive. I was quickly 'watered' and asked if I wanted a cocktail (opted for the 'seasonal' - Ultimate Vodka, St-Germain, Lemon - refreshing and delicious). Shortly thereafter, with my drink came some hearty whole wheat bread (several more rolls than I could ever finish) and softened butter. And then the courses began. Complementary Starter: a lovely, velvety [sweet potato...maybe?] mousse-filled tart with chili flakes. Appetizer: Crispy Octopus with Basil-Pea Puree, Pickled Stone Fruit, Puffed Grain - it wasn't huge, but it was very tasty. Puffed grain added some nice crunch to go along with the stone fruit. Solid dish. Complementary Pasta: An amazing rigatoni dish with peas, green beans, watercress, and plenty of cheese garnishment. Absolutely delightful. Plate cleaned. Main Course: Za'atar Roasted Rack of Lamb with Japanese Eggplant, Juniper Yogurt - Wow. You had be at za'atar...and at lamb. Just a phenomenal dish. The lamb was cooked to a perfect medium rare and incredibly seasoned, and I could help but slather it in the delightful juniper yogurt. The eggplant was tender and scrumptious as well. Complementary White Wine: ...wow. why? but wow. thank you. Complementary Red Wine: ...god I love you guys. Dessert: Peach Melba with Chocolate Dirt, Olive Oil Sorbet, Almond Sour Cream. Light, fruity, delightful. Oh, and here's some birthday cake while we're at it. I can honestly say dinner at Clement was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long, long time. Thank you.

    A Perfect Dining Experience! The Clement at the Iconic Peninsula New York is a gem. The food is outrageously delicious and satisfying. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is genuinely hospitable. Thank you Thomas, Mario, Luis, Marco, Sharul & Jack! Been back 3x already. The Clement is a keeper. Rafael Fab

    Steak and Eggs
    Darlene S.

    Top notch service, beautiful hotel. Stopped in for breakfast. The food was good, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Ordered the steak and eggs with toast and juice. The bill was $85. Not much to write home about. The restaurant is located in the Peninsula Hotel so I would say you are paying for service as well as atmosphere. I would love to come back for lunch or dinner to really be able to judge the food.

    Food is great, but service is top notch. Perfect place for a business lunch or dinner. The ambiance and lighting is really nice, and you just feel special being in such a pretty setting in the Peninsula hotel. Would recommend even for a date or "catch-up" time with a friend, where you can talk comfortably, especially with the noise level being low and the tables being spaced out well. The reasons why my boss does like to come here for a nice quick lunch with his guests. Restaurant is up the grand staircase of the hotel lobby to your left.

    Restaurant Week!! It's brilliant because it brings to light restaurants that you didn't know anything about. Would I have made it to Clement on my own? One will never know. But you know what? I am glad I made it. Every once in awhile I like taking care of numero uno! Moi! I decided today was the day to splurge and eat some perfectly prepared three courses!!! In the middle of a regular ol' Monday. I checked out the menu online and it was everything I wanted. I am pescatarian and with this menu I didn't have to alter anything which is ideal for both parties. And on this day they happen to change up the crudo to tuna. My oh my! I love tuna and it worked beautifully with the avocado and cucumber. It was a perfect balance of sweet, creamy and tangy! A perfect start to my meal. I was given two rolls and a perfect sphere of butter. I loved the grainy bread but I did get crumbs everywhere. The baby French baguette was perfect for snatching up the salmon caviar. The wait staff also used that special crumb catcher rod and made all those crumbs disappear. The main course was salmon on a bed of squash and seafood cream sauce. I was smitten with the hazelnut sprinkles. The fish was perfectly cooked! I could not have been happier with the dish. I might've needed one more roll for the sauce but I still managed getting most of it in my belly. The people next to me were uber proper and slowly bit each morsel. And the other table was working on the fish for over 40 minutes and barely made a dent. What can I say? I have an hour and I wasn't wasting time or crumbs. The dessert was a decadent hazelnut chocolate crunch bar on a marmalade drizzle, a chocolate swirl, mandarins and a raspberry. Decadent. And I'm a huge fan or orange and chocolate. A perfect meal with great service! Thank you Clement! I will happily spread the word!

    Decor is leaning a little corporate but with a warm glow at least.

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

They're belting out hits while literally taking orders and ringing out checks. Could definitely do without the confetti shower on my meal but it wasn't a deal breaker. "Phil-up-the-bucket" is cringe as hell though. They auto add a 20% tip and you have to ask to have it removed. I think they more than earn it, but to also pass around a donation bucket while you're eating is weird. Very off putting.

Fast forward to 2026 (where I'm finally not broke as hell), the day has finally come, and I am ecstatic about stepping foot into this diner that surprisingly is still standing in 2026. The inside certainly feels like a diner, but not quite the old-school dinginess that I'm used to--it's clean. Given that it was Sunday at noon, it was very crowded in there and mainly flooded with tourist groups, but a table opened up for us pretty quickly. For a NYC diner, the menu is certainly small - this is probably done to keep tables moving faster. I got the Pastrami Hash & Eggs and it was just overdone and super oily and dry--almost as if they just refried everything except the sunnyside egg. Not gonna lie, I was very disappointed, given that I had waited for so long to come here, only to get food that was an attempt to give the staleness another chance by refrying and reheating. I actually beat myself up a little the rest of the day for finishing the whole thing, knowing that the oversaltiness was flirting with opening up some high blood pressure. It was also not moderately priced by any means (was close to $30), but I know I'm helping pay for that Midtown and proximity to Central Park pricing. Not sure if I'll return, which saddens me, but also knowing that they're part of a conglomerate at Fireman Group (and still run independently in a sense) makes total sense
