I ranked this high because the Waldorf salad, which is basically just chicken salad with shredded lettuce on top was absolutely delicious!

We went on a weekday at lunchtime and the restaurant was busy, however, the service was excellent and we were not rushed. Once the lunch crowd thinned, the restaurant atmosphere was much quieter. For NYC, the tables were spaced nicely and we thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches ( especially the steak sandwich) and salads. It is very convenient to Grand Central and a few blocks from the Bus Station so great location for meeting friends from different areas. Prices were reasonable.

Ac was not working well but we were forewarned by our gracious hostesses prior to be seated. They sat us in the coolest part of the restaurant for which we were very appreciative. The service was great and we had the caprese and Avacado salads both of which were delicious. This was our second time here and despite the heat we would return

The staff seem distant, over stretched and in poor humour. They are clearly badly led.
