The Red Eye is a beautiful place with a great location but the food does not match that. The prices are very high which I get for the area but give me my money's worth. We went for brunch this time and I ordered the crab cake eggs benndict, tiny English muffin, one tiny crab cake on one side and spinach on the other side, really? My husband ordered pastrami hash, all potatoes and four count them FOUR dice sized cubes of chewy meat. He asked for rye toast, they don't have that only whole grain, ok, his meal came no toast, he ... read more
I live in CA and met old high schools friends from Brooklyn Service was friendly, knowledgeable and didn't pressure us into leaving. Food was OK - my friend had the surf and turf kabob and the meat was very chewy, fatty and grainy. We asked the server if the lentil soup (soup of day) was spicy and he said no, however it was very spicy and my friend had to give it back -- allergic to spicy foods -- her tongue was swellng up. The cod was good and so was the NE clam chowder (which had a lot of clams and not many potatoes).
We've been to Redeye Grill many times and generally have had wonderful dinners. Friday night, however, neither the food nor the service were up to par. We waited nearly a full hour for our main courses, and when they finally arrived -- after we prodded our server -- my swordfish was overcooked and dry (despite my having told the waiter that I prefer fish moist and just slightly undercooked), and my friend's branzino was tasteless. It was clear that both dishes had been standing in the kitchen for some time. Despite our havin... read more
on a short visit to New York from Scotland we used open table to 'book' a table This obviously made no difference, we were 'parked' in the cocktail bar and encouraged to have a cocktail because the restaurant was unusually busy We waited over 40 minutes to be seated and another 10 before the order was taken Food then came in about 25 minutes but despite asking for the wine list this was never produced. The onion rings were good, the salad acceptable and the lobster roll warm with overcooked chips This restaurant does not hon... read more
I was going to theatre on 55th Street and had several choices of restaurants nearby. I choose Redeye because I wanted a good steak. I had a delicious Caesar Salad and ordered grenbeans to go with my meal, which I'm glad I did, and was quite happy with those choices. I really wanted the Ribeye but decided that would be too much, to sit through a play, on my tummy. I choose the Petite Filet. I was a bit wary when it arrived with and no signs of "juices" seeping out of it as I had ordered it medium rare. When I cut into it stil... read more
Redeye seems to have had a bit of a makeover, losing some of its charm…it was a very busy evening, with many large parties,etc. also, the introduction of a singer/piano player was an unwelcome addition to the noise level, & she wasn't very good !!. Recently revised menu has eliminated some of our favorites… Redeye was once our go-to place before Carnegie Hall/ City Center …no longer...
We arrived in town for the NYC marathon! We got a table in the back for the 4 of us. We had one waiter who apparently is the wine/water/plate clearer and cook. It was awful. No one helped him and he was working hard. However, our experience was awful for dinner in NYC! The arrogant greeters in the front did nothing to help our waiter out! I don't rec this place as there are way too many good gems in NYC! Don't waste a night on this place. The bar looks fun however with live music!
something peculiar was going on the other night at this usual favorite of ours, across from Carnegie Hall...waiters far too tired and preoccupied to help anyone..and particularly a table that was NOT drinking alcohol, and racking up a big bar bill?! We had colds, were taking pills and trying to get home before dawn! Everything was slow and cold and faintly unpleasant!
Title says it all... Paid way more than I expected, even for the location. The live music was the best thing about the place. Portions were small, service moved at the speed of frozen molasses... I won't be returning.
