AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Grand Brasserie offers a "taste of Paris" in the heart of Grand Central, blending old-world elegance with vibrant NYC energy. Guests praise its "beautiful decor" and "amazing atmosphere." While the French-inspired menu delights, some note service "growing pains." With attentive staff and a "lovely setting," it's a promising new favorite.

    Very good food but timing around service from our waiter was slow. Once you can order, the food arrives very quickly. Great ambiance and a wonderful respite in the heart of GCT.

    It was a classic spot for a wonderful holiday dinner. The back room is large but decorated beautifully! Glass liquor bottles line the back wall and are lit as if its an art installation, and pictures of famous artists over the decades adorn the walls. Its spacious but not loud and the food was delicious. Everyone had a great meal and the service was impeccable!!!!

    The service was lagging but we were aware that there was a staff meeting at the time of our reservation (5P 12/24) . The available staff was attentive. Food: we ordered East Coast Oysters - fresh and delicious however minuscule . My husband had the best NY strip steak with Bearnaise sauce- ever. My third visit to Grand Brasserie- I again ordered the Lyonaise Salade without regret (and some to take home!)

    I dined here with two friends. We all enjoyed the appetizers and all three of us had the filet frites and spinach. Service was attentive and efficient. One issue was that the main dining room was cold. I understand that there are large sets of doors near the entrance to the restaurant but the room was COLD. please fix the temperature because we would love to return!

    Overall a nice experience, we went to bring out of towners for a NYC experience which I think succeeded. Hostess and staff was very nice. It took a little while to get things, but not too bad, which is understandable considering how busy the place is, and we were not in a hurry, so it was fine. Food was very good, pricey but not bad considering everything. Would definitely go back.
