Everyone was polite and friendly. The food came quickly and it was reasonably priced for NYC.

Perfect location to eat before Lincoln Center theaters or films. We always enjoy their bountiful Mixed Board (see the photo on their website) and this time we added caprese sandwich with prosciutto and cheesecake to share for dessert. We even get a 10% discount with our Film at Lincoln Center patron card. Just remember to ask for one of their quieter tables (not many) because it is challenging to have a conversation there. 

Business response:

We’re so glad to hear Brooklyn Diner continues to be part of your Lincoln Center outings. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the Mixed Board, caprese sandwich, and cheesecake, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the noise level. We’re always happy to accommodate quieter table requests whenever possible. Stephanie Holmes Director of Guest Services, The Fireman Hospitality Group

Not gourmet, but a good option for a quick meal before a Lincoln Center evening performance.

Just what you would expect in a NYC restaurant close to the Met and Lincoln center. Small tables but the servers are excellent at making it work. Super fast service and food was good. Menu had a good variety for such a small place. 

Business response:

We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient location near the Met and Lincoln Center, along with the variety on the menu and quick, attentive service. It’s great to hear our team helped make the most of the space and delivered a smooth dining experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Cafe Paradiso is conveniently located near Lincoln Center. It's a great place for a quick bite before or after a show. The restaurant was packed and hence loud at a recent lunchtime. There's a wide array of food choices on the menu. The food was fresh and tasty. 

Business response:

We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient location near Lincoln Center and found the menu’s variety, freshness, and flavor to your liking. It’s also helpful to hear your note about the lively lunchtime atmosphere, especially on a busy day. Thank you for choosing Cafe Paradiso.

Convenient for pre-Lincoln Center performance but not only does the crowded room have a loud buzz, THEY ADD LIVE MUSIC!!! Crazy. Makes one want to run out of there for peace before the performance. 

Business response:

While many of our guests enjoy the high energy of our dining room, we sincerely apologize that the addition of live music made your experience feel overwhelming rather than celebratory. We understand the need for a relaxing meal before a performance, and we will certainly share your comments with our management team as we evaluate our ambient volume and entertainment offerings.

Once my guest and I actually found the restaurant, we were very pleased with the service and the quality of the food. Perhaps in the description on Open Table, the restaurant's location inside the Film Center building would help and avoid walking up and down W65th Street searching for the restaurant. We had to ask several people (some who did not know where it was) how to find it. 

Business response:

It is delightful to hear that you and your guest were able to dine with us at Café Paradiso! Regarding your feedback about the location description, we will keep this in mind as we make continuous improvements. We hope to see you again soon!

A pre-opera spot we’ve frequented often but last night was sub-par. Our server was slow and the salad nicoise was awful. Over spiced potatoes and unrecognizable elements. My wife had to send it back. The brownie was as dry as dust. 

Business response:

We are sorry to hear about your less-than-positive experience, Philip. We will keep your feedback about our food selections in mind as we make continuous improvements. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the near future. Stephanie Holmes - Director of Guest Services, The Fireman Hospitality Group
