"We happened to have some VERY loud people next to us which was unfortunate. Once they left our dining experience went WAY up! That was not the restaurant's fault. The waitress was WONDERFUL! LOVED HER! It was fun watching the ice skaters until of course we saw some inappropriate ones....again, not the restaurants fault. All in all, it was a really nice time."

"It was okay. My mom and I went for Easter brunch. The food was decent, but the staff was not friendly. Our server was really good and nice. The rest of the staff was just gruff. They never cracked a smile. Given that it was a holiday, and people seemed to be in a wonderful mood on the streets, we hoped that we would be treated well in the restaurant. It was less than average. If I were in New York again, I would never go back."

"On our one off visit to the Rock Centre Cafe, to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, we found that they excelled in every way. The location was fantastic, the food wonderful and the service exceptional. Although it was expensive it was worth every penny."

"Beautiful setting. Interesting menu but virtually nothing for the vegetarian in our group. service was friendly and efficient, but not overly warm. I'd go back for a special lunch, but probably not for dinner."

"We had a nice dinner here. The seats by the window provides a nice view of the skating rink. In the summertime, the rink is transformed to an outdoor seating area. The food is good, but not worth the price - definitely a tourist trap and for business expense crowd."

"A beautiful room and a perfect place to entertain out of town guests. We had a very nice table with a view of the skating rink. The wait staff was attentive, yet we were not rushed and enjoyed a very leisurely dinner. The lamb was excellent, as was the salmon and the pasta. I would definitely recommend Rock Center Cafe for a pleasant dining experience."

"Rock Center Cafe never disappoints. You may go for the amazing view, but you'll come back for the food... as I have many times. Great service... special requests honored by the chef... and a warm greeting from new manager Chris made it all quite perfect."
