SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK -- HAVEN'T BEEN THERE SINCE MARCH 10TH OF LAST YEAR -- JUST BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
Thank you for your feedback Jeanne! We are happy that you came back and hope to see you again soon!
Lookin forward to the buffet coming back
Thank you for your rating! We are looking forward to bringing back our renown Sunday brunch buffet as well!
Food was poor. Overcooked food etc
Thank you for your feedback.
I had arrived with my party about 5-10 mins before our reservation to check in. At the time of the reservation, we were told it would be a 5 minute wait so that our table can be ready. 20-30 mins later was when it was actually ready.
The place was short staffed, so I wouldn't blame the service we did get. It is definitely a management issue. There appeared to be 2 people "checking" the place, but never with any of the tables and never assisting staff.
The waiter was polite when he was able to get to us. Food was good, but nothing exceptional for the price. Decor is what you would expect from any hotel restaurant.
It was overall, just good. I wouldn't turn down an invitation here, but I don't think I would return.
As in most busy restaurants there is sometimes a small delay and I sincerely apologize that you experienced this. Regrettably we are experiencing the very same staffing challenge that most employers are struggling with across the country which is a low volume of people seeking to return to the workforce. We believe it is best to be honest about this and ask for your patience as we work diligently to fortify our business with talented, dedicated and well trained new team members
Went here for Fathers Day. No brunch buffet open and standard menu was subpar. Wasted trip.
Thank you for your feedback. Our a la carte brunch menu has all of Chef Burke's favorite brunch creations. I apologize that your did not enjoy it. We hope to bring our traditional buffet brunch back soon. You can check on our social media pages for updates.
Every thing was outstanding. I had early dinner and it was a good value.
I didn't feel rushed and the food was was very good.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed dinner and hope to see you back soon!
We were looking forward to our dinner.
The food was good and the atmosphere was very nice
But the service had to be the worst I have ever expounded
Thank you for your feedback. In order to continually make improvements in service we would love to hear more about how the service was not as expected. Please reach out directly to our Director of F&B Outlets Norman Achong at 516-877-9477
I booked the King Bar only because the Red Salt Room had a private party. I didn’t realize that the noise level was so high due to the Triple Crown race on TV. The bar itself is attractive, the chairs were so low for my tall family we all asked for pillows! Food was very good but the service was way too slow.
Not returning too soon.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that the noise level was high and the chairs not to your liking. The TV's are only on for the Belmont Stakes race which only lasts a few minutes but it is understandable that people get excited and may have been a bit loud during the race. Usually the TV's are off during so we do hope you give us another opportunity.
Good experience—great atmosphere, and we enjoyed the food.
Thank you for your feedback Mark! We hope to see you again soon!
The Manhattan was fantastic
It was so nice to have someone serve me! Minor blips in timing of service which is what can be expected these days due to staffing shortages. Very nice staff being as accommodating as possible. The Bronzino dish was excellent. Candy bacon delicious, spinach salad enjoyable drinks were good and far better than in a NYC restaurant we were at last week.
Thank you for your feedback and patronage Robin! We hope to see you back soon.
This restaurant was very deceiving around Redsalt and king bar we had planed on dining in red salt and were stuck in King Bar. The hostess was really less than helpful even after the manger told us he could accommodate. While we had some very good food, the service was mediocre at best. We only saw our server when flaging him down and had to ask for our check after being there for 3 hours.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any miscommunication. When Red Salt Room is sold out we do extend into the adjoining King Bar to better accommodate everyone and I apologize if this was not made clear. Your comments will be shared with our Restaurant Managers. We hope that you will give us another opportunity.
The staff is nice and the food is food. Will return for dinner.
Thank you for your feedback Tara! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us and hope to see you for dinner soon!

Service was very good . The food was very good. Overall had a great time and truly enjoyed the food and the service.
Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your meal and hope to see you back soon!
First time dining here again since the pandemic started. The staff was as courteous as I remembered. Dined for brunch and everything was cooked well. Highly recommend a mimosa!
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you are back and hope to see you again soon!
My first indoor dining experience in a year and it was outstanding. Tables were well spaced for safety, so we felt very at ease. We were seated by the fire for the first time, and the ambience overall was lovely. Seafood platter was fresh and pasta tasted homemade, with generous short rib. So delicious. Our server, Brian, was professional, attentive and kind. Overall, a wonderful experience.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your meal and hope to see you back soon!
The drinks were terrible and there was a fly in my drink. The bartender had poor social skills. Very unprofessional and rude. I’ll never come back and definitely will not recommend to anyone
Brunch experience was wonderful. Bellini delicious, crab Benedict was perfection, crab fresh and buttery. Donut tasting wasn’t made in house is my only critique. Service excellent and unobtrusive. Will return.
Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you back soon!
Over priced my chicken was dry and two drinks were made incorrectly
I apologize that the chicken and drinks were not to your liking. I hope your will give us another opportunity to restore your faith in us!
Love. Everything is always perfect.
Everything was great from food to service!
Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you soon!
Service was not acceptable. We waited 10 mins for someone to take our initial drink order which followed by another 15 mins to get.
We apologize for any delays you may have experienced and hope to see you back so we can restore your faith in us.
Great food, service and ambiance....worthy of the splurge.
Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed and hope to see you back soon!
This was our first brunch since Covid..we miss the elaborate buffet, but really have enjoyed our brunches and dinners
At the Red Salt Room .
Our server Jose was amicable, professional, knowledgeable
The brunch cocktails are just plain delicious.. we had the spiced sangria.
Our meals were as always delicious, savory.
We indulged in the bacon on the clothesline ( you just can’t go ro David Burke and not order it!
Can’t wait to cone back!
Thank you for your feedback! Although due to Covid we are not able to do our renown Buffet Brunch, Chef David Burke has created an a la carte brunch menu that is sure to delight. We agree that you simply cannot miss out on the Bacon Clothesline. We can't wait to welcome you back!
The chef, waitress and concierge at the hotel and restaurant were on the top of their game with attentiveness and service. Smoked maple bacon was outstanding as was the main meal.
Thank you for your feedback! I will be sure to extend your kind words as it is our priority to provide every guest with first class service and gracious hospitality. Candied Bacon on a Clothesline is bacon that achieves a melt-in-your mouth texture, while developing a smoky, sweet, and spicy kick from the maple-and-black pepper glaze. Thank you again for allowing us the pleasure of servicing you. We look forward to having you join us for more of his legendary whimsical culinary creations!
Wonderful & cozy environment for brunch. The wait staff was amazingly attentive and pleasant. Had a great afternoon with friends by the fireplace over spicy margaritas. The smoked bacon and stuffed french toast was also delicious. Definitely a must try!
Thank you for your review! I am glad that you enjoyed brunch and the creative fun items on the menu! Our award winning Spicy Margaritas are a favorite. We hope to welcome you back soon!
The food and service was amazing but very expensive
Thank you for your feedback!
Didn't seem like food was as fresh as should be expected. The eggs Benedict was mediocre at best, sorry to say had much higher expectations.
Thank you for your feedback. All the ingredients we use are delivered fresh and procured from the best purveyors in the industry. I sincerely apologize that the eggs benedict was not to your liking. In the future please let us know while you are dining and we will be happy to address at the time. We hope to see you again.
Took forever to be seated because they forgot we were waiting. People who were checked in after me were seated and fed before me. Very unorganized and unprofessional. Will not return.
Thank you for your feedback, it is through your comments that we can continue to make improvements. I sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced on a busy Saturday night and we hope that you do give us another opportunity to restore your faith in us.
Just perfect
First time eating indoors during COVID and this was the way to go
Thank you

Brunch was delicious. Open Table however showed no open seatings at the time we wanted and the restaurant was clearly empty when we went to check so that was disappointing.
The Bacon on a Clotheslibe (or something like that) was the most delicious thing I’ve eaten in years. Well worth a visit for that dish alone.
I am pleased that Brunch was delicious! By popular demand it is now also available on Saturdays in addition to Sundays! The a la carte menu is filled with Chef Burkes whimsical brunch favorites! OpenTable times of reservations are limited to 11:00am, 11:30am and 2:00pm. This gives us ample time to properly clean and sanitize between seatings. However should you wish a reservation outside these hours please do not hesitate to call us directly at 516-877-9385. We hope to see you soon.
Food was delicious. The modified Covid menu was just right. We had a quick meal before heading out to a party for the evening and it was great. The wait staff did their best to make you feel comfortable and safe. Will definietly come back!
