Such a lovely lunch after the Raphael viewing. Very relaxing, calm atmosphere. Incredibly helpful maître d’ and thoughtful knowledgeable waitstaff. My seafood salad was exquisite and the espresso was perfection. I so enjoyed this time and I’ve planned to return with a friend after the new Costume previews. This is the perfect oasis for a delicious meal alone or with friends. Thanks to all.
I was disappointed with my recent visit to the Balcony Lounge at the Met. The wine I was initially served tasted strongly of vinegar. I alerted the waiter, who promptly brought a replacement, but unfortunately the second glass was just as bad. The food itself was only okay, acceptable, but far from memorable. This was particularly disappointing because the lounge used to be consistently great. Given that they’ve just completed a renovation, I was hoping for a refreshed experience to match the
Lovely lunch at the Balcony Lounge inside of the Metropolitan Museum. I had no idea this was here and it was a nice place to have a quiet solo lunch. Loved the spicy cocktail and would return just for that. I would like to come back with a few friends and sit in the lounge area, feels like a living room, and just face drinks and appetizers. Many art books to take in and it just had a nice vibe. My salmon salad was good and I will definitely try again during my next day at the Met.
