The Regency Bar & Grill

Perfect for a "power breakfast" as it is the original!! All the food is great and the service is awesome is great too!! When you are an american express platinum cardholder and staying at the hotel (book directly with amex) there is no reason to travel elsewhere with your daily breakfast credit and additional food and beverage credit, room upgrade, 4th night free & so much more . . . certainly there are more economical places to dine but for the perfect atmosphere to relax and have a great conversation it is always something you can count on and you will certainly keep on coming back!!

It took a while to get seated at our table

The food was good. There were not a lot of light bite options but we had a burger and salad. Which worked out. This is somewhat of an upscale hotel coffee shop so even though it was after 8:30 there were a fair amount of little kids running around

Reliable spot to hold business meals

This was our first experience at The Regency Bar & Grill. We were staying at the hotel over the weekend, and we ate there three times. We thought the menus were a bit on the limited side, but what we had was nicely prepared. We had lunch, brunch and breakfast, which had three different menus, but had many items in common. The Club sandwich was very tasty, and the fries were cooked and seasoned properly. The bagel and lox plate was nice. Just be prepared to take out a second mortgage.

it is an interesting place to people watch as well. This place is definitely for the beautiful people to see and be seen.

Coffee is $9. Not like good coffee. Like coffee they come around and pour in your cup. It is overpriced and just a bunch of buffet food, nothing special or creative. There are approximately 58 other places in the area to eat with same or better options at a more reasonable price and comfortable setting.

Clean business like surroundings. Laughably slow service. Odd remarks from the waiter about how we should be appreciating our food after such a long wait! Food quality is very average considering the high prices charged.

Just simply my favorite brunch spot on the UES. Food, staff, ambience all 100

Great place!

Service here is very old-school, meaning that they actually appreciate your business and treat you as such throughout the entire experience -- from very friendly check-in to great wait service.

The Regency never disappoints! We just love the staff!

very nice spot, food was very good. would go back again for breakfast any time!

the egg white omelette was perfect
great coffee
good service
great birthday celebration birthday for sister

30 minute wait with reservation

It must have been an off day at The Regency. I do go somewhat regularly and have never experienced the bad service I experienced yesterday. We were sat at our table and then after at least 10 minutes with no server and no water, I had to get up to ask a waiter to come to our table. The service that followed was a bit slower than normal as well.

Expected better service in this restaurant. Their menu prices are inconsistent with their poor service and lack of attention. We stayed at the hotel and had high expectations from their restaurant but the experience was not good. The server never introduced himself, we asked for his name. Our water glasses were not refilled unless we asked. The only times we saw our server was to place our order and to pay our check. No one asked if we needed anything. Will not return. Many other great restaurants to dine instead in NYC.

Hands down the best venue for a breakfast meeting in NYC. Seasoned, colorful and inobstrusive as necessary waitstaff (they’ve seen it all and know what they’re doing). Exceptional preparation of breafast staples (priced like they know what they’re doing: they do). Scrambled eggs and bacon as good as I have ever had (every time). A good place for breafast berries. Eclectic clientele includes recognizable personalities from almost any community you might know: Business, political, financial, swells -domestic and international. And everybody takes it in stride.

VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetstaff most welcoming and helpful. Servers recognize returnees. Well trained ensemble.
Good for private conversations with my clients over a drink or a meal

As always great

Very expensive and food was ok. Service was awful however. We never saw our waiter and took at least 30 mins for a check. Eventually had to ask someone at the front. Wasn't crowed at all.

The worst food and service in NYC!

Just so bad...stay away!

Delightful staff and great food -- I have brunch here 2-3 times a month and it is always a wonderful experience.

Its an excellent but pricey place for every meal, with diverse options from vegetarian to American to Asian, all done well. The room is elegant without being stuffy. The service is discreet and attentive. Hard to go wrong so long as cost is no object.

It’s a very nice place physically and the noise level allows conversation. Also the servers try to please. But the melon we ordered was inedible - the honeydew wad spoiled - and the other melon was like cardboard. The coffee left on the table for us to pour was cold and the little milk pitcher provided was inadequate and hard to get refilled. Pancakes came with a much too little syrup and my friend who ordered them said they were terrible - very heavy, no fluffiness as if the chef made a mistake with his mix.

Regency Bar and grill never disappoints. Good food great service pretty room.

I've eaten here several times and the food and service are always good, but the bar is always a disaster. Because the entire back side of the bar is for service only, there is never enough space at the bar to get a drink. The noise from the bar is tremendous, making conversation at the tables quite difficult. They really need to work on reducing the noise level between the two spaces or allow those of us that want a bit of quite conversation to eat in the back room instead of closing it in the evenings.

Lunch terrific.
Christmas season so very festive.

The bartenders were not hospitable, the dining room waiter was very kind and professional. Would not return, over priced and the food was just OK.

Everything about this place was great! The food was very good & amazing staff!

Almost rude wait staff. Food was quite good but pricey. Attractive crowd.

After a 45 minute wait for breakfast our food never arrived. No apology. Nothing it was terrible and very embarrassing as it was a business breakfast.
I wanted to list NO ZERO STARS but this form wouldn’t let me.

needs acoustic ceiling tiles or carpeting on the floor or both. Noise bounces off everything. Becomes uncomfortable when many tables are occupied...

The service was great! The food was really good. Everyone was happy!

Outstanding service. Great ambiance. Delicious meals with generous portions. We’ll be back. Thank you all.

Good service, great cocktails. Only negative is that the low ceiling makes it VERY noisy.

Excellent service but the food is inconsistent with inflated prices. Steak was under seasoned and over cooked. Pork chop was over cooked and bland. While our server was extremely friendly the food was disappointing.

Good place for drinks and bar food. Quality of the food was excellent, just expensive. Would visit again.

The salmon was tasteless and the tomato soup had a bitter aftertaste. Overpriced given the quality of food.
