  1. Came here for a work event and want at all impressed with the quality of the food. They served food buffet style so my expectations weren't night o begin with but there is no excuse for serving pasta sauce out of the jar. The salmon was dry. They served ice cream do dessert that tastes nothing like ice cream. It tasted like ice flavored with Splenda.
    The only nice thing I'll say is that from a couple of the Windows you can get a very clear view of the Christmas tree.

  2. In addition, $6 glasses of wine for Happy Hour (and I thinks $2 off other drinkies).  That's a good price for Rock Center.

  3. hm… perhaps i just had a rather bad experience here! it seems possible, since all the other reviews give it 4-5 stars!

    there's a difference between the cafe area and the dining area. Seating, perhaps I'd do it. Seems quick, easy and affordable. No complaints. But the dining in…… please continue to read:

    I do not like pulse. I will only go there if someone MAKES me go. I ordered the seared Atlantic cod with potatoes. The thing was so drenched in butter, that was really all i could taste. Yes, yes, yes, butter tastes good, but i also want to taste the fish!
    My lunch date got the mushroom ravioli appetizer and it was SUCH a HUGE portion, she couldnt finish it! Whereas I finished my fish, potatoes and kept munching on bread.

    the ambiance was KILLED by shouting children and tourists. *sigh* if you bring children to a restaurant, people, please do not let them shout or run around…. PLEASE…. please…………….. i beg of you

    the prices? meh, theyre Rockefeller prices! you cant argue!

    I aint comin' hea' no mo'

  4. Had a smoothie during a movie presentation. It had oatmeal, chocolate, and a few other things. Was solid.

    Short expensive beer/wine menu.

    Bare 2.5. I don't recommend it over most bars but it is adequate for a little drink/food.

  5. We attended a private function on a Sunday afternoon. That is what this review is based on. The room itself was very bright with natural light, great views of Rockerfeller Center, comfortable and spacious for our party of 40. A brunch buffet had good offerings – a grilled chicken,  pasta, asparagus,  tomatoes,  mozz and basil,  bagels, muffins, lox, onions, capers and tomatoes, fruit, granola and yogurt and coffee. All were good. The staff was attentive and friendly. It all made for a lovely afternoon!

  6. Pulse Restaurant and Bar is located on the second floor next to equinox fitness center.  The are as the say the are a restaurant but not really a bar.  They do serve alcoholic beverages but not a full service bar.  Food here at this restaurant is adequate.  Everything about this restaurant is adequate.  Adequate seating, decore food and service.   The only thing this restaurant has is a nice view of Rockefeler Center other than that Pulse Restaurant and Bar is just adequate.

    We made the mistake of going with Pulse Restaurant and Bar for catering.  The manager of this facility; Allan on the surface seems like a nice guy and will tell you things you want to here in order to get your business.   Let me explain!  We used Pulse for their catering service because of their proximity to our venue.  Allan promised us a lot of things and woefully failed to deliver on his promises.

    Allan promised us a onsite sushi chef, raw seafood and a plethora of appetizers and finger foods that we sampled and were pretty decent for the price he offered for 100 people.  Long story short food were barely adequate.  The appetizers he sampled us were not the appetizers he promised what was worse it was not ver appetizing. Our guest did not even know we had appetizers.  The dishes he served for main was not the dishes we tasted and he promised us a list of beer and did not deliver and we did not get any champagne or white wine like he promised.  After they got their money they failed to deliver on their promises.

    Pulse restaurant is the worse catering experience I have ever encountered.   They are dishonest and would not recommend you do any business with them.  

    Stay away from this business its horrible and their business practices are not ethical.

  7. They were so slow. The service was terrible. They can not serve a party of 20. Literally the entrees came out over the course of an hour. It was a business lunch so it was unacceptable. The food wasn't that great either.
