The fact that breakfast is $45 isn't posted anywhere. Tip is included for some reason. All the waiter does is bring you a drink. Stay away

Kate was very hospitable, the bar is lively, well lit and just noisy enough. Great place to drop in if you're in the vicinity in Midtown. Reasonably priced and great drinks.. get the old-fashioned with skip the espresso martini. The food looks great, I didn't order anything on this visit, Will if I return.

Food and sevice was decent. The bill had a "service charge" embedded in the totals. I asked the manager thinking it was a fee from the state of new york. The manager said the "service charge" went to the server. The "service charge" was 22 to 24% of the total. The bill didn't state that and the first line to fill out on the invoice was "gratuity". Most people wouldn't notice the service charge and give the server an additional 15 to 25%. The tip should be based on the quality of service provided. It shouldn't be a deceptive charge for a forced gratuity regardless of the effort of the server.

We stayed at the Westin and needed dinner late. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was good but my steak was overpriced for the lack of tenderness (although it was cooked correctly at medium). Fries were standard fare. My wife had the turkey club and said it was good. The spinach artichoke dip was recommended by the server and quite good. They had tvs at the bar and it was a chatty environment.

Located at the lobby level of Westin, Amuse is vibrant and lures you with a nice selection of drinks & good service.

“Ken, host at Amuse” MAJOR attitude. Needs an adjustment along with the waitress working with him. He needs to be retrained in customer service ASAP!!!! No people skills! RUDE. I hope not to see him there on my annual birthday trip to NYC next year and ever ever again! Kick rocks Ken! “Host at Amuse”!

Most expensive bland food I had. I ordered the salmon and it was a mistake. Quinoa was over cooked and watery, asparagus wasn’t cooked (probably thrown in the water for 5min) and salmon was ok.I also ordered a side of potatoe puree and asked if it was home made (10$ price) they said yes but clearly the taste and texture suggest otherwise.Staff is friendly but they had one server for more than 10 tables on an evening.Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place for quick dinner unless you’re ok with a club sandwich and fries (combo can be decent).

Been staying at the Westin Grand Central for work on and off for 12 of the last 21 days so I've spent a ton of time in the restaurant - and the staff is wonderful, efficient, friendly and accommodating.The breakfast varies between a buffet and à la carte, and I've been here for afternoon lunch and tea meetings. Always a super convenient and welcoming spot. Neville and Merlinde are wonderful hosts, and Sandra and Attivia are attentive and thoughtful servers. They even remembered my birthday and surprised me!
Food was really good. I had french onion soup and the baby greens salad. BUT…Service was sooo painfully slow’. To her credit, there was only one server for the whole bar/restaurant but it took forever! Soup, salad and 2 glasses of wine = $100 before tip!

The perfect place if your accountant is the only person who has to worry about your money. $10 for a small side of (dry) breakfast potatoes? $16 for a parfait? Why? Is opening the yogurt and sprinkling granola really worth $16? We got the avocado toast, a coffee ($7!!), and a side of breakfast potatoes and it was $45. I'm all for paying whatever the price for good food, but this was not the place for that. Don't get me wrong, the food tasted good and the staff were nice, but $28 for some scrambled eggs and some toast...nope. We left and went to the Comfort Diner 3 blocks north. MUCH better.

Staying at the Westin, of course you're going to get breakfast here at least once (it's free for members with status). The breakfast itself, when you finally get it, is filling and tastes decent, service is friendly. But prepare to wait at least 30-45 mins to get your food. It seems they hold orders and cook a large batch all at one time because you'll sit and wait and then finally food comes out for several tables. Overpriced, but it's a hotel, though this meal was free being a Titanium member so I can't complain too much. While there are only three options for the free breakfast, the standard amuse breakfast is a great option.
