The ambiance, although a bit snug space was good with nice mood lighting. The servier was polite and provided great service. I've eaten here numerous times for lunch and was very satisfied. With one exception, the dinenrs were good but the dinner menu is rather limited. With one exception everything was well prepared, the tomato bisque or corn chowder soups, the various pizzas, quinoa salad with selmon, chicken parmiana, and the very good chocolate chip sea salt cookeis for dessert and hot chocolate. There is one dish I am c... read more

Very nice, tasteful space in the Film at Lincoln Center complex. Simple, somewhat limited but perfectly adequate menu; food is nicely prepared and presented. Good list of wines by the glass. Excellent, efficient and attentive service. Highly recommended especially before or after a matinee or before an evening performance at Lincoln Center.

If you’re looking for something casual and close to Lincoln Center, this cozy cafe is an ideal spot. Don’t expect large portions or an extensive menu. Mostly sandwiches, salads, a few entrees and desserts. Our server was very sweet and didn’t rush us out which was nice considering it was packed. They definitely need better signage outside. We walked past it twice before realizing it’s tucked inside Film at Lincoln Center. 

Business response:

We’re glad you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and attentive service. We appreciate your feedback about the signage and will take it into consideration to help guests find us more easily. Stephanie Holmes - Director of Guest Services, The Fireman Hospitality Group

Smaller and cozy setting steps away from main Lincoln Center theaters. A lot quieter than all other nearby restaurants. Being just days away from Christmas it was a very pleasant surprise to have a trio of professional carolers briefly stroll through the restaurant. 

Business response:

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed our cozy atmosphere and the special carolers during your Christmas visit. Happy Holidays! Stephanie Holmes - Director of Guest Services, The Fireman Hospitality Group

It was next to impossible to find a reservation for a quick dinner last night (7 pm Nutcracker at Lincoln Center) I came across Cafe Paradiso after daughter made a reservation some blocks north on Columbus. The pictures make it look more like a order-at-the-counter-and-find-a-table but the inside was festively decorated, the hostess found our reservation quickly and seated us at a table with half-booth and two chairs at the far end of the restaurant, which I always prefer, a bit quieter. Very nice casual menu and the prices ... read more

If you're heading to LCT--Beaumont or Newhouse--or even Alice Tully for that matter, you can't go wrong with Cafe Paradiso. The food is good, reasonably healthy, and well-priced. The place is pretty, and the service excellent and friendly. We were seeing Amahl (they ask) and our charming server said she grew up in San Diego, and performed in Amahl every Christmas. One drawback you just have to accept: their kitchen is tiny and they run out of stuff. My nephew ordered chia tea. But alas they were out of chia. This has happene... read more

Ddin't expect it to be so nice- atmosphere was modern yet warm and inviting, service fast and good, menu wasn't huge but had variety. We ate before the theatre, it was perfect- no stress of getting to the show on time! 

Business response:

Thanks for joining us before your show, Kathleen! It's great to hear that your experience exceeded your expectations and that you made it to the theatre on time. We hope to serve you again at Cafe Paradiso. Stephanie Holmes - Director of Guest Services, The Fireman Hospitality Group
