Cipriani

Perfect pasta! Love the place. I ordered the tagliteri and it was perfectly done. The squid rissoto is also good.
The only problem: service. 2 issues in 1 night:
1. Appetizers were ordered, never arrived but it showed up in the bill
2. The waitress were fighting in spanish, a whole spnish soup drama was going on, since we spoke spanish we understood all the words. guys take it to the kitchen.
Becauae of the bad service I gave it 3 stara but the food was good.

We had the pleasure of attending a benefit for Winston Prep Academy here last night. The place is stunning! It used to be a bank so it has the high (really high!) ceilings along with very ornate woodwork and huge Corinthian columns in all of the corners. The wait staff was huge and they were all spot on! During the cocktail hour I never held an empty glass or plate for more than a few minutes before someone came by with a tray to take it. The h’orderves were all outstanding! I lost track of how many different things they had to offer but there was a lot. When we took our seats the outstanding service continued. My water and wine glass were NEVER empty. The entrees were delicious. Had the prime beef with a side of green beans and a sliced potato. Dessert was either a chocolate mousse cake or ice cream and fresh berries. Both were delicious. The bathrooms were very clean and had attendants. I sincerely hope to be back next year or sooner!

5 Star restaurant with a first class atmosphere and top notch service. This restaurant defines quality and sets the standard for an exceptional experience.

I love Cipriani.
This is the real deal. The view of the clock, the nice selection, the sound of the train announcements in the background.
As nice as the made the Campbell Apartment which is right there, they will never match the old world charm that Cipriani seems to do effortlessly.
You can’t fake this kind of stuff — not to the locals.

Food was good for Restaurant week but where we sat was the worst! We had a corner table beside the stairs and a homeless guy kept going up and down the stairs. Snorting and sneezing. They should NOT have a table at this corner. So unappetizing!

In love with this space!!! Went to a premier party here a few weeks ago and everything was spectacular. The food, the service and the ambiance were on point. It was star studded event and needless to say it looked and felt like Hollywood. I would for sure recommend this space for an event.

Great place, very very upscale.
Great venue to throw a large party for a company.
We will be back!

We came here for nye party! It was awesome!!! Susan, our waitress, was great! She was the light of the night!!! She made sure that we are taken care of! Despite, having a very busy night, with many drunk people, to wait-​on, Susan was full of positive energy! She really was amazing! The food was okay! There were little appetizers and little deserts. Considering what we paid for the event, we could have had better selections of food and drinks. Restroom had a huge line, but Cipriani found another solution, as the super luxurious port-​a-​potties.

Came for the NYE party 2015.
The venue was great, the food amazing and staff very helpful, friendly and polite. But the number of bathroom was ridiculous, who thought that four toilets would be enough should be fired!
The worst part was the DJ. Awful line up, didn’t know how to engage the crowd, was cutting all the songs and changing without any sense. Didn’t stop talking, he was trying to show off himself more than his work. He was also really rude.
I enjoy the party because of the food and venue and friends but the music was a big no no!!!

The staff did completely a horrible job on managing the event. VIP line was filled with people who bought general admission tickets. They only announced that the line was specifically for VIP once people got closer to the door and guided them to stand on the other long line.
No one was smart enough to communicate in advance where to line up. This was non sense. DO NOT buy a VIP ticket if you want to get in faster and not shiver in the cold because they will not treat you like VIPs.

Delicious and fresh Italian (as in from Italy) food.

Beautiful, stunning architecture. This spot used to be a bank and it felt like the ceilings were 50 feet high with some of the bank teller Windows left for charm. I went to and event and the coat check people were very polite and fast. There was a bathroom attendant to help with any lady minute necessities and the door men were very friendly.

Two parts to this review… was here for a gala, and the building itself is across from Grand Central. Large entry, with a coat check to the left and a side bar area that was filled with three different long bars, more than enough to handle the 500+ people that came that night along with the bars on the other side. Large space that reminded me of a mini Grand Central (being a former bank) with the design and arched ceiling. Bathrooms off to the corners.
Second, the food. Appetizers passed included salmon, tuna tartar, and pigs in a blanket — all good. A mozzarella & prosciutto salad with pear that was good, a Filet Mignon steak that was entirely too dry, and sea bass that was a massive cut that was bigger and thicker than the steak medallion — not bad and better spiced, in my opinion. The potatoes stuffed with veggies were ok. Potato au gratin was only so-​so, too. The dessert — a lemon meringue that was only ok. Drinks were strong and the service was pleasant. I suppose it’s tough to cook the same thing for 500+ people at once, but I’ve had better at large events.
Overall, an interesting event space. Just watch out for the echo when you’re on a microphone inside.

I don’t know about the restaurant a Grand Central Station but Cipriani across the street in the old Bowery Savings Bank is the best there is. Ambiance, food… pure New York.

The food was definitely very good and amongst one of the best I’ve had in a while. The view was also very nice since you’re on the top and able to have a bird eye view of the whole grand station. The service was also very good and the price is to be expected. Avg drink is $ 18 each and and meal is around $ 30. Just know that you’re paying for the location, food and service.

Great service every time!!! Great drinks! Food is ok but as long as the wine selection is good I am content! Champagne is very good! Atmosphere is nice! Alive! I love to sit outdoors spring and summer! Outdoor sitting area is very limited so make reservations a few days prior to your visit!

The Chicken with mushrooms was exquisitely done, but the accompanying mashed potatoes were not befitting a restaurant of this caliber. I would expect real mashed, not the powdered stove top mix one can make at home. Ambiance was great. And the arugula salad was excellent. I guess the mashed is not their forte, but if not real potatoes why even offer it at these prices? Service was attentive.

Here for the Outreach Foundation Luncheon. Great organization which provides so much for the rehabilitation of Americans in greater NYC. One of the best venues in NYC that define service and opulence. The space use to be a Dime Bank and fortunately they kept much of the original architecture and finishes. Real taste of old NY.

Gorgeous, high cathedral like ceilings in an old bank. Here for an event, didn’t have to pay. maybe that factors in for the 5 stars. Definitely would recommend this place for an event.
Great cocktail hour with excellent service.
App. of burrato with tomatoes was out of this world.
Waiters walked around with giant trays of filet mignon to place on each plate. Amazingly fast service at a large event. Quality of the filet was pretty average, the sauce was delicious. (should have gone with other option– chilean sea bass, which looked amazing).
Chocolate covered strawberries and other treats for dessert were all very good.
Great time!

I recently attended an award show dinner at this location, and won’t lie, I was pretty excited about the food (and the award too, obviously!).
First off, they really, really packed us in. I felt as if I was sitting on top of everyone. How they fit all those people on those tiny tables is beyond me.
The food? Phenomenal. I especially loved the steak. It was a filet and quite a large serving of it. Thankfully, it was not overcooked, but medium rare (how I prefer steaks).
There was also a dessert that was equally stellar, a fruit cobbler cake of sorts. Yum.
Now I’ll have to come back and dine there regularly.

Cipriani is a true class act, and I expected nothing less. I attended a business luncheon function this past week and was just so impressed by the overall experience.
The enormous space is pristine and beautiful! The moment you walk in, you feel like you have arrived somewhere special. The service was of the highest quality, from the bartenders to the waiters to the management. And the food… amazing! We dined on the freshest mozzarella and tomatoes, Chilean sea bass, and sorbet with fruit in a chocolate bowl. Everything was perfect!

Came here for a technology event showcasing a new line of OLEDs.
Space is huge. Staff was very polite and they dressed up very classy.
The tables on the side of the event space still has pens attached to them. From what I notice, I guess this used to be a bank. I didn’t get a chance to walk around downstairs, but I’m pretty sure there’s a vault somewhere. The ceilings are so high, but very detailed in architecture and style. This place has one of the highest ceilings I’ve seen in a building, other than Grand Central Terminal across the street.
Bartenders at this venue were very fast, even though everyone was pushing to get their drink on line. The servers who came out with plates on hand to serve mini eats were fearless, because once they come out, a horde of people would rush to them to grab what’s left on the plate.
Anyone have any company or big partys at this venue? Let me know! I would love to come back.

I was here for a beautiful wedding. And I ate. A lot.
Food: the cocktail hour was so good that I had a bit of everything and nothing seemed unimpressive. From Shrimp Cocktail to pasta to pork and beef, everything was just perfect. I ordered steak for dinner, which was cooked the way I like. The lobster appetizer and scrumptious dessert makes me drool just thinking about it (see photographs I’ve uploaded).
Service: everyone here is trained so well and is extremely attentive. Our table was served quality drinks and there always seemed to be wait staff on standby to take care of us.
Décor: Stunningly beautiful. Everything is tastefully done. Nobody’s rushing anyone anywhere.
