WARNING! CAKE was AWFUL! FELL APART!…read more I ordered a cake from a professional baker (Soma cakes) a few years ago that was beautifully made but was a bit bland, so I decided to look for a different baker. I found BakeStreet online, and I chose a baker, only to find out these are not "professional" bakers but HOME BAKERS! I didn't realize they employ home bakers until I asked my baker for the address. The NYC address they use for their business is NOT a real bakery! I thought these were professional bakers working out of a bakery. I found this part to be very misleading and only found out after I selected my baker and paid a deposit. My baker was 30 minutes from the city by car. I had made a deposit, and even though my intuition told me to back out, I decided to take a chance based on her reviews. I'm really curious if the reviews for the bakers are from real customers. Makes you wonder. You have to realize these cakes are being made in their homes! There are no sanitary rules that you know are being observed. My cake was placed in a cardboard box, and although it didn't really look like what I wanted, and the tassel, lettering, and diploma looked amateurish, what can a customer do after they paid for the cake and need it for a special occasion. Seriously, this is a great way to get ripped off! Once we got home and took the cake out of the box, it was falling apart, and the company had the nerve to tell us it was made properly! This cake was worth $100 maybe $150 but NOT almost $400. A cake that is baked properly will not fall apart after a 15 minute car ride! At the time that I picked up the cake, I told her I could hold it in my lap, but she said it wasn't necessary and placed the cake in the car. My Soma Cake that lasted an hour in the car to a different location never fell apart! The company had the nerve to offer me a $50 credit for a future cake that I would NEVER purchase! Why would I purchase another cake from a home baker? Poor customer service! They can enjoy my money! What a RIP-OFF! If a cake cannot make it in 15 minutes from pick-up to your location, there is something wrong with the cake! If you want to have a cake beautifully made, use Soma Cakes but don't get the red velvet. She is very talented. Her cake looked so realistic and we received a lot of compliments, but unfortunately it was bland, but it was a lot cheaper than what this company charged me, or you can just make your own cake. I'm sure it will be better than the disaster I received! Also, PLEASE do your research on this company. They have bad reviews on TrustPilot! If you want an okay cake, order from here. If you want a cake for a really special occasion, please go somewhere else. Find a place with an actual bakery and professional bakers. You will pay the same amount but get better results and not have to deal with their awful customer service!

Every time I visit NYC, I have to come here and get it. While the price is about 20$, it's absolutely worth it and they pile it high. It's meant to be shared, so make sure you come with your friends! Service is fast- they use a pager system to tell you when your order is ready to pick it up. While it's a little cold inside, it is extremely clean despite them serving lots of desserts everyday - there is someone who cleans all of the tables thoroughly. Cannot recommend more!

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Overall: 3.7/5 Definitely a nice and chic bakery. Came in on July 4th with my family and the place was very busy. We got some cream puffs and a few drinks to hold us over, since we were just stopping by while waiting for lunch. The cream inside the pastry was nice and rich, going nicely with the pastry, which I'll admit was a little dry by itself. The fresh orange juice was little bit disappointing and definitely could've used some ice. Their coffees were okay, but I didn't love the blend of coffee that they were using. If I went again, I wouldn't necessarily go for the food, but rather just the inviting atmosphere that drew our group here in the first place.

We went for Restaurant Week dinner, only $45 for a three course dinner plus $10 glasses of wine…read more We're picky about the RW restaurants because many of them are really not good deals--they go cheap on the menu or have lots of supplement charges. Not so with Grand Brasserie. There are no supplements and the food is quite good. For the appetizers two of us shared the Pate and Salmon Tartar, for mains the Summer Vegetables Vol Au Vent (sort of like chicken pot pie without the chicken) and Steak Frites, and for desert the Crème Brulee and Apple Tart. We really enjoyed all the dishes and didn't feel like they had skimped on any of the ingredients. The Steak Frites was made with skirt steak and not the usual NY Strip, but it was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Just be aware that all the portions are on the small side--that was fine for us as we're not big eaters so we actually prefer that. The restaurant is beautifully set in Grand Central, with high ceilings and plenty of space, the perfect location for a brasserie. Service was excellent from beginning to end. We would definitely go back even after RW, to try their $65 dinner prix fixe menu.

REVIEW UPDATE: As a result of my feedback, GB has changed…read moretheir policy and is now less rigid about menu alignments and dessert offerings. I was not impressed with the response posted here, but about a day later, I got a personal response via email from a their Director of Guest Relations and they resolved my grievance in a way that was more than satisfactory to me. So I have boosted the review to 4 stars, as the food was really excellent, and some of the best we had during French Restaurant Week. In the opinion of my friend and I, it was second only to La Tete D'Or, and we enjoyed Grand Brasserie far more than we did Cafe Boulud. Cafe Boulud left us hungry and poor. Grand Brasserie left us filled and with some money to spare. Given how management reached out via email to resolve the issue I did have, I would whole-heartedly recommend Grand Brasserie to anyone who wants great food in a rather unique setting. ORIGINAL REVIEW (PLEASE NOTE: GB has since changed their policy and desserts are now available a la carte, even if they are featured on a prix fixe menu): Grand Brasserie provides a one of a kind historic setting as a backdrop for outstanding cuisine. Our food was outstanding. However the crux of my problem was around the fact that we attended for French Restaurant Week, which featured it's on separate menu. While the choices were outstanding, you had to choose two courses between appetizer, entrée and dessert. There was a dessert I had wanted to try, the Paris Brest, but ordered an appetizer and entrée figuring we could pay for the dessert separately. However the dessert was not on the regular dessert menu, so our request was refused. Moreover, I had ordered as an appetizer the Veloutè de Champignons which was listed verbatim as: Truffle Mushrooms, Chive Cream, Toasted Brioche. However it failed to mention the soup was served cold. Not being familiar with French cuisine and it being FRW, which should be assumed to attract folks unfamiliar with French cuisine, and introduce them to it, the menu should have indicated that it was served cold. I never would have ordered it had it been listed as served cold. I'd have shared an app with my dining companion and then shared the Paris Brest. Moreover, an idiosyncrasy of a promotional menu and a rigidly programmed POS (Point of Sale... quell your foul mind ) system should not interfere with customer satisfaction at a restaurant that is otherwise outstanding quality.
