    We were never seated. The person at the podium was not at all helpful. If you cannot accomodate tge crowd, don't accept reservations

    We had a pleasant dinner here before the Hoolie at Carnegie Hall last weekend. The service was quick and friendly, the drinks were great and the food was very good. The cafe is casual and fun, and the option to reserve works well pre-show. This is a New York diner-style mini chain (and we have one closer to us too, in Vienna, VA -- will have to try it!)

    The service, food and everything we received ast Carnegie Diner & Cafe were all just fantastic. And after having eaten there before attending a performance at Carnegie Hall (a 30 second walk away), we returned there after the performance for dessert. When we finished dessert, we were still so pleased with the way we were treated and the food we enjoyed, we made a reservation there for all 5 of us for breakfast the following morning - absolutely terrific!

    It was my 1st time at the restaurant. I've looked forward to this experience for decades - it did not disappoint. Particularly the Service by ALL staff including management was outstanding. Food order was accurate and speedy. They even brought hot fries right away to ensure we chewed on something while waiting for our meals. SUPER impressed.

    The food and service were fine. The issue for us was the noise level and the crowded tightness of the tables. Very difficult to have a conversation during the meal.
