    Food good. Sat next to live band so very loud and crowded; chairs backed into other tables’ chairs. Seemed like one waitress was working the entire restaurant? And she wasn’t very focused; wasted time. We had reservation for 6pm, waitress took a long time to first come to our table. And our food arrived at 7:05pm.

    Cool spot, live music was fun. Food was fine, nothing crazy. The atmosphere was really fun, though. Basically it’s a hotel lobby turned restaurant. They had a jazz band playing with a guy freestyle rapping over it.

    The only good thing about Sessions was one of their managers. Do not waste your time unless you are a guest at the hotel because they will not value you unless you are. That starts from when the people seat you. Our server was extremely rude and we were shocked. Came all the way from California and had this planned out for a year just about only to be extremely disappointed. We do not recommended.

    I took my son to NYC this Christmas and was looking for a real nice meal for the day. Session's menu listed a Christmas Day special which was listed on their website. This is it exactly: Enjoy a selection of Charcuterie and Cheese as your starter before indulging in our extravagant Seafood Bar or Roast Turkey and Standing Rib Roast carving stations. Served buffet-style, available sides include Soft Bread Buns, Pigs in Blanket, Roasted Parsnip, Stuffed Kabocha Squash, and Country-Style Mashed Potatoes $69 per person. First off, the only drink that came with it was water. We ordered Diet Coke which came in a 6oz glass with ice at a charge of $7.00. The extravagant Seafood Bar consisted of some type of seafood salad and chilled shrimp. Thats all for the seafood! No crab, lobster or oysters. Believe me, the shrimp wasn't extravagant. Then you came to the 8' table with the dinner food. Turkey sliced on one end and beef on the other end. They had two bowls with the turkey and two similar bowls with the beef along with rolls. Only two items had a place card as to what they were. I never saw any roasted parsnips or stuffed kabocha squash anywhere. We went back to the table and there wasn't any salt and pepper containers and no butter for the cold rolls. Wasn't long after we dug in that we emptied our diet coke glasses. But no more service came by the table until the water boy stopped by after we finished. He asked if we wanted more water, and I said I guess so because it doesn't look like we are going to get any more Coke. He then told us there were no refills on drinks. That we would have to purchase additional Diet Coke. Then the bill came, and it had a $27 service fee. I certainly wasn't going to tip. I spoke with the manager, and he said he was grateful for the feedback and would take the two Diet Cokes off the bill. This was a $175.09 meal! I should have known better since the restaurant was in a hotel; not stand alone.

    The buffet was very convenient for dinner prior to seeing a show at Radio City Music Hall. The setting is great and the waitstaff were very attentive but the Prime rib and sides were underwhelming.

    Nous y sommes allés pour le réveillon de Noël. Cadre très agréable et ambiance chaleureuse. Serveur très sympathique et vraiment disponible mais la cuisine… bien sur le papier mais manque de saveur. On était dans le thème Noël mais je ne m’attendais pas à un buffet.
