A typical big midtown restaurant geared towards tourists. The food is average at best, expensive, and the service efficient but rushed. The bread day old, and the entrées seasoning bland. For these prices you can expect better. But if you are going to the theater, the location is great and the room pleasant. Be careful, the restaurant charges $5 per bottle of tap water "filtered" by the restaurant, which is outrageous given that NYC tap water are fine.

Redeye Grill has a new decor and and a new menu. Beautiful decor, but In the past, I so much enjoyed the food offerings. The lunch menu was extremely limited and outrageously expensive. Least expensive wine is $14. I agree with reviewer about the Nicoise salad. I should have read that review before I ordered it. The only kudo is the Coconut Cake, delicious. $150 for lunch and within two hours, we needed to eat again.

Such a nice place but not the extra service. We got the feeling the staff didn´t like their work. Nobody seemed to be happy liking what they were doing..

Recently for lunch the "tuna nicoise" was served with three small pieces of tuna which had to be sent back due to over cooking, a mound of lettuce, and very few of the other typical ingredients. And for this they charged $28! Also, the crab cake blt burger was thin, greasy, and barely tasted of crab.

Used to be a regular at the Red Eye and was excited to bring my son there before Neil Young at Carnegie Hall...found the steaks to be great, the wine list a bit over inflated but interesting...the shrimp cocktail was the biggest ripoff I've seen in NY -- $18 for 3 shrimp! Three! Not likely to be going back, which is too bad -- lots of good memories there.

Proximity to Carnegie Hall is part of its problem: a captive audience offers no incentive for any restaurant to be great. Most patrons have money to spend, are not from the area and won't be coming back. The place is attractive, with a jazz piano duo, service attentive. Bread offered was an indicator of things to come. Soft pretzel, or a tiny chunk of some other bread with seeds on it. How about a small loaf of warm fresh baked bread? The burger looked promising, albeit $36, but they don't offer it until after 8 PM. "The gri... read more

How this restaurant has managed the ratings it has is beyond us! The service was inattentive, slow, inaccurate and uninterested. Our order (for just two of us) was remembered / entered wrong for more than one course - one of which they forgot entirely. The filet was closer to medium well than medium rare. The crab and lobster lasagna was nearly burnt on top. And the lobster mac and cheese had so much salt that even the lobster was inedible. Awful experience! Will never return. Save yourself the disappointment and take your m... read more

We had a 7:15 reservation and arrived on time. Dinner took an hour to be served. Over priced and disappointing

My friend and I have a holiday lunch every year at Redeye. She travels from Delaware to join me in enjoying Redeye's special lobster cobb salad. We were so disappointed this year. While the portion seemed to return to the gargantuan size of previous years, it was seemly done by filling the salad with an overabundance of watery diced tomatoes. Boo. Service and banana cream pie were still spot on, blessedly. Thanks for 10 years of a holiday lunch tradition, Redeye. It's a new year and we're moving on.
