    I have been there several times and it was always good This time, my fries were lukewarm and the pastrami sandwich very dry. I had a reservation but still had to wait 20 minutes. It was not a pleasant experience so I will probably go somewhere else next time I am in the neighborhood.

    We always enjoy Carnegie Diner when we go to Carnegie Hall or City Center and this week was no exception. We enjoyed the pre-theater special with chicken soup and branzino.

    The Carnegie Diner is better than average. The brioche french toast was excellent. It came with strawberries and blueberries on top. They even give you real maple syrup! The omelet comes with the usual hash browns but also with a side of greens, which I found odd. That is not something I feel like eating for breakfast and feel like most people don't touch it. Pro tip: it is always full in there, so it pays to make a reservation, even though it's for breakfast. We stopped in without one once and there was a 20-30 minute wait. If you have a reservation, they seat you at the next available table.

    Reasonably priced. Excellent kale Caesar. Wait staff should be a sitcom

    Large portions, worth the wait? However once seated service is prompt. Beware, a reservation just puts you ahead on a wait list and you still need to wait at peak times. Hard for a disabled person as no place to " park" while waiting but instructed to " stand in line" by a counter.

    French toast with Nutella was amazing but the avocado on toast could use some work. Nice experience, very busy but that shows how great it is there.

    The corned beef sandwich was just plain blah, the bread was soggy and the meat was sliced too thick. However the French fries were incredibly delicious
