Get directionsthis is the one NYC place I keep coming back to. Great service, reasonable and excellent food, varied menu. The staff, without exception, is very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant quirks (cotton candy, treats passed on trays, sweets on the way out) really make the place charming.
I was 5 days in NYC, and my dinner at the Red Eye Grill of crab cake and jumbo shrimp on a bed of fresh spinich was by far my favorite meal. I told the waiter that we were going to a play after dinner. He suggested items that took longer to prepare. Our food came quickly.
Excellent service - when one of our party was delayed, her order was expedited so that she could enjoy her meal with the rest of the group! And the cotton candy was a nice surprise to end our evening.

Paella was pretty good. A bit crowded and noisy but it was December 23 so was expected.
Excellent choice for dining near Carnegie Hall. (It's across the street.) Dinner is a little on the $$ side, but brunch is more reasonable--and very tasty.
We went to Redeye on a snowy and windy night last week, and the experience was excellent -- friendly staff and waiter, immediate seating at a table where we could look out at the snowy scene outside. Food was well-prepared, and I recommend the sea bass cooked mediterranean style in a clay pot, stays nice and hot. Prices reasonable for this part of Manhattan.
There was TOO much salt in everything we ordered. The food would have been good if that was a problem.
Lobster or crab cobb salad (hold the chicken, though!)is a must order.
