    We waited 20 minutes on an "energetic" Sunday. VERY noisy. I will not go back because of that. I was looking forward to the Lobster benedict, but the lobster pieces were overcooked.

    The best place for brunch or lunch on Manhattan. You must make reservations and eat one meal here while you are visiting NYC. Great sandwiches and desserts! We come here every time we visit!

    Waiter was inattentive and didn’t bring requested items in a timely manner. Toast was cold went meal was served. For the cost of brunch I would of expected better service and hot food. I would say don’t bother going here.

    This place can only be described as chaotic from the moment you set foot in the door. People gathered awkwardly in the entrance, no space, servers flying past with plates of food in hands. We had a booking and thought this would mean a more pleasant experience, better table but we were left standing around not knowing what was going on for several minutes before being led to a seat which was sandwiched in the middle of other tables only inches apart, our table even shared condiments with another table, we had someone rudely reaching over our breakfast to get some sugar. It was so uncomfortably crampt you just couldn’t enjoy any of it. The food was average, we had omelettes which had a pile of salad on the plate which was strange and out of place on a breakfast, can only imagine they use it to make the plate seem fuller, very odd. I would never wish to return here and would not recommend.

    Carnegie Diner is a great place to come for an inexpensive meal. The service is good, and the menu items are varied. If you are going to be in the area for a show, this is an excellent place to come to.

    Meat was Done when I asked for medium rare. French fries were over salty. We were seated by the the entrance door and it was opened very often, getting cold. We had dinner with our coats on.

    The dinner was very good except appetizer did not match up to the main course. Salad needed more than just lettuce . Chicken soup needed more vegetables and less pasta. Guacamole was a much better appetizer. All desserts were very good. The restaurant was too noisy on our second trip. Why does the restaurant need background music with all the noise generated by customers taking above it, children’s yelling or crying, cell phones ringing etc.

    They brought out two of our four orders, one of which was cold. The Reuben sandwiches didn’t come out for another 20 minutes. It wasn’t the Carnegie deli experience I enjoyed on former trips. I won’t come back.

    Nice atmosphere, seated quickly with our reservation. Food was good - my burger came as ordered. The server could have been more attentive. He stood near us but seemed well practiced in the art of not making eye contact, and seemed to look at his device most of the time.

    We went for our reservation at 6pm. By 6:20pm we still weren’t seated. There were a number of people who had also made reservations who couldn’t get seated and left. In Midtown, where most people have to make a curtain at a certain time, this is ridiculous.

    We picked this place primarily for its location around the block from Carnegie Hall. Pleasant surprise and we’ll be back. Burger and fish and chips both excellent and the deserts awesome. A diner that accepts reservations? Who knew…
