"I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the excellence of the Grand Bar and Lounge. My husband and I live in Manhattan, and our favorite thing to do is go to brunch every Sunday at the Grand Bar and Lounge. It has been our favorite restaurant for a very time, and we keep falling more and more in love with our favorite haunt every week!!! The initial attraction was how dog friendly the restaurant is. Trust me, that was enough for me. However, we also discovered that the staff is the best in all of New York City, the food is magnificent (they even serve eggs all day) and the ambiance is above a five star rating. Everyone remembers our names (including our dog’s name) and we are treated as though we are a part of their family. When we arrive, the first friendly face that greets us is the doorman, then the hostess, the waitresses and waiters and lets not forget the baristas! The entire staff is just amazing! Barbara, Zwenksa and Jackie are a triple threat and I look forward to being doted upon by them every week! In addition, the managers (Murat instantly comes to mind) always make a special point of stopping by and saying hello and inquiring as to whether or not we need anything while we are there. The warm environment (couches and all) just elevates the experience to a new level of excellence. As a Manhattannite, I take where I spend my little bit of free time very seriously, and I have searched for years for an establishment that checked all of my boxes, and the Grand Bar and Lounge checks them all and then some! Thank you for being simply a cut above the rest! Written with love and gratitude from a very satisfied regular."
