Cafe Gray

By Big Apple Dining Guide   Oct 18, 2007

Cafe Gray Forget the food for a second. The service was terrible. I am turned off from returning solely based on the service (or lackthereof). But what would bring me back is the room and the view of Columbus Circle. I really liked the interior design of this place and feel that both a different staff and a different style of cooking could better suit it. Alas, Gray Kunz' traditional French fare - with a bit of a modern twist - seemed less "push-pull" as it has been known for and more about more salt and butter. Today's lesson in dining out was all about learning to navigate really, really rich dishes (that perhaps I'm not used to) and... FULL REVIEW

Return to Café Gray

By New York Journal   Feb 05, 2006

Last night, I returned to Café Gray, my first visit since November 2004. My early impression remains my impression today: it is a wonderful restaurant, but not without its share of miscalculations. Chief among these must be the boneheaded interior design, surely the most obscene waste of a great view in dining history. Instead of giving a priceless view of Central Park to the customers, Café Gray puts an open kitchen in the way. Walls studded with hard surfaces ensure that the noise carries—and, oh boy, does it carry. At the table next to us, an man was delivering what sounded like a lecture in musicology to a hearing-impaired companion. The next table over had a Japanese family with two toddlers, one of them quite loud. Ninety minutes later, thanks to the din, I left Café Gray with a mild headache FULL REVIEW

Café Gray

By New York Journal   Dec 19, 2005

A friend and I had dinner at Café Gray on a Friday night in November of last year. It was a 5:30pm pre-theatre dinner, but we reserved only on Monday. Even when we left at around 7:00pm, the restaurant was not yet full. FULL REVIEW

Green Day New York City Entry #42

By Veal Cheeks   Dec 11, 2005

In my first 100 days in New York, I had studiously avoided entering New York's Neo-Geo Twin Towers: the once-and-future AOL Center, the Time-Warner Center: Manhattan Glitz Central. FULL REVIEW

Cafe Gray, and a desire to eat pricey food

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Dec 06, 2005

As a testament to my flickr obsession, Cafe Gray happened 12 pages ago. I could've said "1 week" but using flickr as a time gauge seems less conventional. I mean, it is less conventional. Because it's stupid. FULL REVIEW

If I had a hammer, I'd hammer Cafe Gray from 2 stars to 3

By The Amateur Gourmet   Aug 16, 2005

Some people have it in for Frank Bruni. Like Jules at The Bruni Digest. She has it in for Frank Bruni. Her masthead says: "This blog is predicated on the suggestion that every Wednesday, in the Times Dining Out section, Frank lays a huge faberge egg of hilarity." Her blog is really funny and I like her use of pictures. I am going to bookmark it now. (Adam bookmarks "The Bruni Digest.") FULL REVIEW

Cafe Gray

By Mona's Apple   Aug 08, 2005

Decided on a whim to eat here, and the only meal we could get was lunch..but it was well worth it.There was a conference taking place, a women's luncheon that Diane Sawyer made an appearance at, so we were thrown to the bar, but still managed to get a feel for the place.. FULL REVIEW

Cafe Gray: All That Wait for This?

By Foodie NYC   Dec 15, 2004

The build-up to the opening of Cafe Gray was the grandest I have yet to witness in my years of living in NYC (Jonathan Waxman's comeback to ill-fated Washington Park was the second.)  Front page previews in the Times and New York, pictures of the kitchen being built on eGullet, rumors of opening dates via Chowhound were all encompassing.

My Dinner At Café Gray

By The Strong Buzz   Oct 10, 2004

It started off as just another Saturday night at the Mall. I pushed through the revolving doors, and rode the sky-high escalator to the 3rd floor, and in an instant, I was back in high school, shopping at Roosevelt Field with my girlfriends and giggling about boys. But then, reality hit and I realized I was not 18 (pity). I was 35, with my dear friend Steven, celebrating his 45th birthday with a crew of his closest friends in tow (but still giggling about boys). FULL REVIEW
