    Pershing Square has a new chef, from the Water Club, and though always good, their cuisine is now excellent and beautifully presented! There is rare extra space between tables and booths, making the dining experience quite wonderful. This is an establishment that has distinctly improved over time and has become a truly first class luncheon spot!

    Felt a bit rushed, food was average for the price charged and it was very hot in the restaurant. However the staff did make an effort to seat 8 of us together

    Pershing Square is a terrific place to go to eat for many reasons. Great location, terrific ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable service. Wonderful food and a variety of choices. Today I had the Waldorf salad. Loved it. The presentation was super and the mix of ingredients just right. My friend loves the burgers. And we were allowed plenty of time to talk and try to save the world! So Pershing Square has become my go-to place for lunch and is highly recommended.

    Used to be my place to go - now a bit tired and food is below average. Very unfortunate.

    Located opposite Grand Central Terminal, this spacious restaurant offers an easy selection of popular appetizers, entrees and desserts. The dining area is quite large with seating on 2 levels plus a decent sized bar. In good weather there’s outdoor seating. This is a convenient and comfortable place to grab food all day long.

    Solid place for breakfast. Conveniently located. Small, predictable menu. I recommend the corned beef hash and eggs benedict. I also recommend making a reservation - not because they are crowded, but because they seem to give you a nicer table.

    This was my second time dining at Pershing Square. It was just as delightful as the first visit: lovely ambiance and professional, courteous staff. I recommend it to anyone interested in a relaxed time. KTU
