I suppose when one pays $275 for a two-course price-fixe lunch for two (including two drinks, supplements, tip, tax, etc.) one is going to be inclined to like it - and I did. The food is quite good. Their sea bass is one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time. The service was excellent. Our waiter was well-mannered and solicitous. But what you’re paying for is convenience and ambiance. It was true luxury to park below the Met and bring my elderly father up in the elevator for lunch, and then needing to take only a few steps to our seats. So was sitting in front of the vast windows of that mid-century palace, basking in the mid-winter sun. I am glad I did it once.

We had the most delightful dining experience at the grad tier restaurant thanks to our awesome server Buddy! He made great suggestions, offered helpful tips & advice, attentive service and the best smile in NYC!! The food was perfect from start to finish too. Highly recommend the beef tenderloin dish. Thank you Chef. We’ll be back again and again for many encores.

The veal was fantastic. Order it. The chocolate mousse cake had a nice soft texture but the flavor was a little overpowering , unable to finish it. Servers did a great job and Henry one of staff members was really friendly and made sure I had everything I needed in time for the show & during intermission he also made sure I made it back in time.

It should NOT cost $20 for a pre wrapped sandwich unless it’s wrapped with a $10 bill. $11 for a chocolate cookie! These prices are getting so high that I’d rather just run to PJ’s for a burger and French Fries, which is what I did at Akhnaten’s second intermission this past Tuesday. I’ve only been attending the opera since 2014ish, and I distinctly remember the salmon sandwiches costing $14, which at the time seemed like a lot. I see no reason for the rapid appreciation in these prices, and the near empty lines at intermissions tell me that I’m not the only person balking at these prices. While I do miss your excellent salmon sandwiches (hence the second and third star), I’d rather buy a couple sides (like the lobster salad) at Gourmet Garage at an intermission.

I didn’t think I could top the experience of seeing an opera at the Metropolitan but indeed going for dinner at the Grand Tier before the opera really blew us away! The efficient service coupled with the delicious culinary delights made our night superb! I had crab cake appetizer and tortelli with veal topped off with chocolate mousse. Fantastic! Very pricey but entirely worth the price for an extraordinary experience. The Perfect Manhattan was just that! Then the opera, so convenient to eat then walk to the theater.

Had dinner here Friday evening before the American Ballet Theater performance. Food was excellent, each of the courses had interesting and balanced flavors. Service was outstanding. Very much exceeded expectations.

Food was real good and staff was professional. They are price gouging however. 3 stars because it's really a one and done event.
