Astor Court - New York

Met my friend for NYC Winter Restaurant Week lunch. I requested a quiet table where my friend and I could sit and catch up. Big mistake as we were seated in the window seat at The King Cole Bar instead of the exquisitelyappointed, luxurious main dining room. Secondly, we were not offered beverages or beverage menu other than water with our meal. Next, our table was not cleared after bread and appetizers before the main entree. My fault for the crumbs, but as a highend restaurant as Astor Court proclaims to be, our table should have been tidyed and impeccable prior to eating our main course. It sounds like I am nitpicking a bit, but people pay top dollar to eat there so we were expecting a topnotch culinary experience. And lastly, the main course of butternut squash and champagne risotto was mediocre at best. Very bland and dry, and the risotto was undercooked. I will venture to say some TV dinners could rival this dish. I added the winter truffle supplement for but the truffles were muted and possibly stale. What an overall disappointing experience. I hope the poor quality and service was not a product of the Restaurant Week discount pricing

Restaurant Week stop and I could not have been more pleased. The service was phenomenal, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was high end but not stuffy. Will definitely be returning as a result, especially for the chocolate log cake

It was cozy, and the food was nice. Will visit again soon

What a wonderful place to have a ladies lunch and celebrate a birthday Everything was perfect

We went for restaurant week so it was fairly priced but the food was subpar otherwise overpriced. The server seemed distracted and took tries to bring us the lunch menu. Not their fault but credit card system was also done so we had to pay with some manual system from Overall disappointing
