"Went for a quick breakfast and enjoyed it. The bagel and lox were great and my friend got the omelette which was good as well. Atmosphere is as expected. $50ish for 2 people (no drinks)."

"We had an unforgettable dining experience, thanks in large part to the exceptional care of Edgar, our delightful and attentive server. From the moment we sat down, he guided us with enthusiasm and genuine passion for the menu. When I asked about his personal favorite, Edgar lit up and recommended the Miso-glazed cod over farro—and what a recommendation it was. The cod was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, while the nutty farro provided the ideal textural balance. Every bite was a pure harmony of flavor and finesse. But it wasn’t just the food—it was Edgar himself who elevated the evening. His thoughtfulness, charm, and impeccable taste transformed the meal into a true experience. I was so impressed, I returned three times in a single week—something I almost never do, even as a New Yorker spoiled for choice in restaurants. Thank you, Edgar, for making every visit a palate sensation. You’ve set the bar impossibly high."

"Amazing every time! Dinner, drinks, dessert, everything is phenomenal. I'm here once a year with visiting family and it's our favorite spot to catch up and dig in to some great eats. The pizzas are very creative and the meat/seafood options are all cooked to perfection. There are vegetarian options and fantastic dessert choices. See you next year, Brasserie Cognac!"

"My Daughter Carrie took me here for a birthday dinner. I left ordering completely in the hands of my Daughter. She ordered Manhattans, one for her and one for me. I prefer Old Fashioned as the Manhattans were too sweet for me. But they where perfect Manhattans and served perfectly. Then she ordered "Steak Fries" for both of us. Perfect New York Sirloins, cooked Medium rare as we requested. The fries where hot and perfectly cooked however they are the "string", narrow fries. I prefer "Steak Fries", much wider ones. The service could not be any better anywhere. Perfection in every way. I don't like to have dinner in a noisy restaurant. I want to be able to hear and understand what my dinner partner is saying. This restaurant was relatively quiet and a conversation between dinner partners was no proble,. I don't like a restaurant with tables that are too close together. I don't like talking over my adjacent tables conversation and I don't want what I say to my dinner partner heard by others. This restaurant had plenty of space between the tables where we sat, which was something that met my preferences. In conclusion, let me say that I can recommend everything about this restaurant. It checked every box of my preferences and I'm a very picky person. It's a comfortable walk from Grand Central Station. So if you want an experience that will meet even the highest expectations, I recommend visiting Brasserie Cognac Midtown East"
