    Crabcakes benedict with potatoes
    Megan P.

    We found the "locals" diner! This place has got a good amount of seating for being a diner in NYC. My husband had their regular house coffee, which is PHENOMENAL. I gave it a try and it really is one of the best coffees I have had. Their potatoes are unbelievable and I definitely cannot replicate their technique at home. The crabcakes Benedict was chefs kiss! Those cakes were incredible. We go every time we are in NYC. To-go orders take about 15 minutes and you usually can get a table when you come in. Plus! You're in for a treat with looking at their ceiling. It's got twinkly lights and is very galactic

    Came here with some friends. We were so hungry that we started eating before taking pics. This is a very classic diner with comfort food. Our waitress was very friendly and she cracked a couple of jokes. It wasn't super packed but still had a light bustle. Some of the items come with a fresh press juice. I would recommend buying the juice either way because it's so good. We got it with a glass of ice and poured the juice into it and it's super refreshing on a hot day. Everyone loved the Eggs Benedict. I got a grilled cheese and a tasted exactly like grilled cheese (delicious). They did put an oddly large amount of tomatoes in my grilled cheese, but it's fine because I just took them out. I would make this my regular spot if it wasn't so far away from me. Definitely recommend!

    Good food, good service. An employee saw us looking confused when we walked in and quickly found us a table for two. I just ordered a simple breakfast of eggs and hashbrowns which was tasty. Husband loved his omelette. Prices very reasonable. Great spot for breakfast.

    I was looking for new breakfast place to try since I always go to Westway Diner for breakfast. Surfing the net I stumbled across this place and I did a huge mistake I didn't Yelp it to see there reviews because if I did have I would've never came here. I seen their reviews on google and seen nice pics of their food which now I know it's not the actual presentation of the food that they serve. But anyway I was deceived by the pictures. We were sat quickly as soon as we arrived. They sat us right in front of a fire exit. Looking at the menu compared to Westway diner. Westway has WAYYYYY more options for WAYYYYY better prices. But it's not about the prices I don't mind paying if the food and service is good. Well let's start with the service it sucked really bad nobody was attentive. They don't even have there bottled drinks, soft drinks, coffees or lattes listed on there menu. I guess you're supposed to drink what they do have listed which is only their fresh juice or smoothies. I have never seen that in my life in a restaurant. But anyway when the waiter did acknowledge us he took our order really pushy in a rush and looked annoyed for no reason we didn't even ask 1 question and he already looked like he was super annoyed. Now the food when that food came out it looked the way it tasted just bad. My GF had the chorizo wrap. It should've been an egg wrap cuz it had like 2 little pieces of chorizo. Bland egg watery cold just gross. I had the pancake with bacon now how the hell u mess up pancake and bacon if you're a diner. That's like your main thing I would think PANCAKES! The pancake tasted gross the worst pancake I had in my life bland and the inside wasn't cooked properly. The bacon chewy and cold. Then it doesn't help that one of the workers opens the fire escape door and leaves it open while we're sitting right in front of it making our food colder then what it was. Oh and my GF Snapple that we order from there "secret menu" that they don't have listed in there menu was expired. This place has to be the nastiest place I had in my life. I usually take leftover home to give to my dog but I wouldn't even feed that to him. I don't know how this place is open but it surprises me because lord have mercy. This place has to be TOP 1 nastiest breakfast place I've ever had. Bad service, bad food. The place it's self in the front is spacious but in the back is just cramped up like there's no space. I'm not even done there yet. I didn't even eat my food I nibbled on the pancake. I left all my food. After having to wave and holler to try and get my waiter attention to get the bill. He gives us the bill leaves us sitting there waiting 15 mins. And after me having to try and get him to acknowledge us he tells us "you pay in the front" with a nasty attitude I guess we were suppose to know that already. Then this is what PISSED ME TF OFF. We go to hostess to pay the bill the guy is having a convo with someone and doesn't even acknowledge us. Then he looks at us, See us waiting for him to charge us and turns back around and continues his conversation. I wanted to say something so badddd then he turns around again goes and do something else and with an attitude charges us. Idk what the hell we did but this place is INSANE! Anyways! This PLACE SUCKS! I would recommend McDonald breakfast or a bacon egg and cheese from your local deli then eating from here. Never again! Chorizo Wrap 0/5 Home fries 1/5 Pancake 0/5 Bacon 0/5 Service 0/5 WASTE OF CALORIES!!!

    Super cute diner! Their curly fries are really good. Nice atmosphere too, the wall decor is filled with galaxy/space art, cool vibes! And they are always busy! Outdoor and indoor seating available. Highly recommend

    I enjoyed my baguette with prosciutto and my decaf! It was packed and had a good vibe. Service was pretty good even though it was really busy. Classic NYC spot!

    I love the Galaxy! Whenever I'm visiting Manhattan I always come to eat here. Great breakfasts, Great lunch, whenever. This week I had breaded tilapia on a salad. Really good. Had a veggie omelette with cheese. Had the eggs Benedict another day. Great service. Great people. And the universe on the ceiling. What can I say? Great!

    I think was Cape Cod chicken Salad my wife's it was good ..

    Service food everything is great here . One of my fav diners in Manhattan -very clean great service

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

    Every food was great except tuna crudo. Need carpaccio was…read moretasty and so as risotto. Server was nice and attentive. Ambiance was loud. Filled with after work happy hour drinkers. If you want nice and intimate dinner, this is not the place.

    Woke up at 5:55 AM PST in order to make this reservation... but overall glad I was able to. The…read morepull apart truffle monkey bread was our initial reason for coming, and although the price point was quite steep, I would say it's worth the try. The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting. Although the space was packed, it didn't feel too loud or crowded. We spent about two hours and didn't feel rushed.

    I had such a hard time getting a reservation here! I think they have more availability during…read morelunch, but the dinner reservations are so hard to grab. I went on a Thursday night, and the place was absolutely packed. The front feels more like a bar/casual area, while the dining room is tucked toward the back. My reservation was at 10:15 PM, so I actually had a light dinner beforehand and ordered a little lighter than I normally would. I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

They have 3 locations but we chose this one because it serves pizza. The ambience was amazing, and surprisingly the place was almost full even at that time. For drinks, I had the strawberry Nojito, which was quite refreshing, while my husband had a Pinot Noir. For mains, we ordered the Rigatoni Pasta with Burrata (from the add ons) and Margherita Pizza. The pasta was decent but a little too chewy for us, even considering it was al Dante. The pizza was good. The highlight was definitely the olive oil cake which comes with cream and berries which was a really good combination. We loved it!! Overall a decent meal with a lovely ambiance. PS: Our server Jose was very kind, checked on us throughout the meal, and was funny too. He took a selfie with us when we asked him to click our pictures
