Cafeteria - (Near New York, NY)

5 /5 Charles Rockhill: Had a nice last minute dinner here with friends. The Strawberry Rhubarb Spritz is delicious but could be a lighter. Maybe a bit more soda water to get it slightly more refreshing. The frozen cosmo is perfect. We had a smattering of apps that were all excellent. Beet salad with grapefruit? Genius. I never would have put those things together. One of the best burratas I’ve ever had, it’s so creamy and again, the addition of strawberry is unexpected but excellent. Mac attack is a staple. Add the spicy pepper from the deviled eggs on top before you bite so you can get some good heat on it. My turkey burger was the tiniest bit dry but delicious. My friends raved about their meals, a burger with a fried egg and the Cobb salad. The lighting outside was a bit dim, anytime we tried to move the tiny lamp to make room, we couldn’t really see our food but easily fixable.

5 /5 Abigail Korompis: I had my Sweet 16 at this restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, the people were so kind, and the food was delicious. The manager, Nick, made me feel so special and really went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. I felt so loved and well taken care of. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — everything was perfect from start to finish!

5 /5 Lisa Gomes: I had a wonderful brunch at Cafeteria. We lucked out with parking right in front of the restaurant and were seated right away. The food was excellent. The Crispy Rock Shrimp was the highlight of the meal and one of the best versions I have ever had. We also ordered the Truffled Eggs, the Eggs Benedict, the Rude Margarita, and the Blood Orange Margarita. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Service started off a little uneven because our first server was not the friendliest, but thankfully Gino took over and completely changed the experience. He was warm, attentive, and very kind. His service really made the visit memorable. Overall this was a great brunch and I would definitely return the next time I am in New York.

5 /5 A F: I had such an amazing experience at Cafeteria! From start to finish, everything was top notch. Our server, Atrice, was absolutely wonderful super friendly, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. We tried the Mushroom Toast to start (highly recommend!) and the Chicken Parm for our entrée both were perfection. The wild berry mojitos were the perfect touch refreshing, sweet, and beautifully presented. The manager on duty, Louie, checked in a multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly, which really showed how attentive and hands-on the staff are here. The vibe, the service, and the food all deserve 10+ stars. I’ll definitely be back soon!
