Never thought I'd be the first to review something in NYC! Ok, here goes.
This is the bar inside of the Millennium Broadway. They have an exceedingly overpriced breakfast that we did not check out, and then they serve appetizers and drinks the rest of the time.
We were staying in the hotel on our visit to NYC and went here several times to wind down before dinner or before bed. The prices for the drinks are extremely high, even by NYC standards, but they have a great selection of wines (including several varieties of port) and scotches, along with the usual stuff.
Service was always very friendly and all mixed drinks were done well. We never had any food other than the trail mix or whatever they put out for you, but it sounded pretty good. Atmosphere was nice and quiet, the chairs were very comfortable, and I was kind of amused to see PBS on the TV one time we were there. (A friend of mine now wants us to open up a PBS-only bar. I don't know how well that would do.)
Check it out if you're staying at the Millennium and are into the hotel bar thing.
Meh, what do you expect? It's a cafe and lounge centered in the Millenium Hotal in the tourist trap Times Square area. Was here a few days ago for a business event and had a lunch meeting with a client here.
Had a grilled chicken pesto sandwich. It wasn't bad but for $16 is way overpriced. Seems like most of the lunch salads and sandwiches run in the $15 – $22 dollar range with the Big Apple Burger topping the list at $22! Really – for a burger with cheese?
Service was ok and attentive enough. My sandwich tasted decent and the chicken was cooked just right. Still, the high prices of this place scream rip-off.
We were there midweek and were the only patrons during dinner. Located inside the Millennium Broadway Hotel, you may not realize it is a full service restaurant. Lots of business drinks were taking place in the lounge area. Dinner was nice and the service was exceptional.
Are you kidding me, Charlotte? You're really charging me $17 for Corned Beef Hash and Poached Eggs (see photo). Did you lay them yourself? I would have only paid that amount to see that act of exertion and if you include a Mexican cockfight as an encore. Good thing I was on an expense account when I came here in the early morning hours. I was too early to check into my hotel and way early for my first appointment in midtown Manhattan, so I ended up here across the street from my hotel.
Never again will I go to a high-end hotel like the Millennium and expect a bargain breakfast. I begrudgingly ordered the above dish only to discover they are serving corned beef hash out of the can. There was nothing homemade about the hash, and the potatoes tasted packaged as well. Only the poached eggs were reasonably tasty. Needless to say, there was no Mexican cockfight to watch, so I scampered out of there rather quickly since I was soon surrounded by a large party of Bavarian tourists searching for their sauerbraten. Diner beware.
FOOD – 2 stars…really mediocre breakfast for such a fancy hotel
AMBIANCE – 2 stars…tables very crowded together, not much breathing room
SERVICE – 2.5 stars…lots of staff hovering but not necessarily serving
TOTAL – 2 stars…caught unwillingly in Charlotte's web
I liked the loungey chairs and that you could easily watch the street scene, which included a patch eyed pirate. The waiter was sort of weird. And our Irish coffees were TOO strong. Ewww.
