  I went here for my birthday with my husband and the staff was absolutely amazing! I give all of them including our waiter Henry 5 stars. The service is so important at a restaurant and they make you want to come back. Henry was very patient and gave us honest suggestions on what to order based on what other customers have enjoyed. I ordered the French onion soup to share as a starter. The presentation was beautiful but I didn't care for the puffed pastry or the cheese stick because it was too rich for me. My husband did enjoy it though. I also ordered the mezcal hot chocolate. I didn't enjoy it because the tequila gave the hot chocolate a weird taste that was off putting to me. I did enjoy the prime rib. It was seasoned well just a little too rare for my tastes but my husband enjoyed his pork chop. He said it was really good. We also enjoyed the sides we ordered. We ordered the carrots, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. At the end I received a slice of raspberry cake for my birthday and we both enjoyed it. The ambience is great because you get to look out at Grand Central while you're eating which is very nice. I had a great birthday and I do thank the staff for making my day feel special!

  The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded our expectations. However, what truly made this experience unforgettable was the outstanding service, especially from our waiter, Iván Leos. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness were exceptional. He was always attentive, made excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our visit. Great food is important, but exceptional service makes all the difference and Iván truly elevated the entire experience. We will definitely be coming back, especially hoping to be served by him again. Highly recommended!

  I visited last evening and had just planned to have a drink at the bar. Unfortunately there was no space, yet the female bartender was so welcoming I asked her if she could find me a table. Within minutes I was seated at a table and was given a menu. The staff made quick to clear off the other place settings to make me feel more comfortable alone. Ivan my server helped me choose the perfect scallop appetizer. He was very personable and attentive and made me feel comfortable dining alone. The prices may seem a little high but the quality of the food is worth every penny.

  I was a bit skeptical about Palladino's in Grand Central, but I decided to give it a try. The hostess greeted us warmly and efficiently, setting a great tone for the meal. The menu offers a wide range of options, from salads and starters to sushi, pasta, seafood, and of course, meat (my favorite!). The Tomahawk steak was the star of the show, and all the sides were top-notch, especially the fried onion. The wine list is impressive, with plenty of options to choose from. A big shoutout to Ivan, who was attentive and knowledgeable, providing perfect recommendations to make our experience truly special. Thanks for the great service and food - we'll be back soon!" 🍴

  After several weeks of nonstop travel, I was finally able to enjoy moments of New York City and an impromptu stroll, led me to Palladino’s and what a treat it was. From the moment I walked into the door, I was greeted by two beautiful hostesses who were abundantly accommodating. I did not have a reservation, and I was a solo diner, not interested in sitting at the bar. With genuine smiles; they found a table for me right away. I was placed in the center of the dining room room where I could experience the palpable energy in the room, the infectious holiday cheer, and I could revel in the beautiful ambience. I was greeted by several servers who were all so kind and very thoughtful, paying me compliments and then I was introduced to Ivan, my Server. His service and genuine attitude was so refreshing, it was one of the greatest highlights of the evening besides the food itself. My meals were impeccable, and I cannot wait to take another stroll into the blissful experience that was this lovely gem adjacent to Grand Central :).
