"Buffet was very good offering cheese,olives,oysters, &shrimps.Dessert buffet included bread pudding, cheese cake, chocolate dipped strawberries. The strawberry paired well with my champagne!The main entree was offered via a menu which offered more breakfast items than lunch. Short rib was excellent, lobster benedict was good, fritatta blanc was okay needed more asparagus and mushrooms.. too much eggwhite and not enough taste. Also there wasnt much of a young-kid friendly selection... bagel and cream at buffet and waffles on entree menu. The service was impeccable and the staff were warming. An added bonus, the mother's received a rose! Would return but without the younger children.."

"We got to the restaurant and were seated, we were waiting for 2 more members of our party so we waited to order. The waiter had to be called everytime we needed something, he only stopped by once to ask how things were going. Twice when we asked for something, he said, "In a minute, I have to do something with another table first". The food was OK, not a large selection on the cold buffet or dessert bar. When one person in our party ordered coffee, he brought it, but spilled the container of milk all over my back, her purse, my shoes, etc. All I got was a "let me get your back" and a clean napkin. For a place that is as expensive as this place is, the service should not be so under par. Food was good, I have had better for less."

"We visited this restaurant while on spring break to NYC. The food and ambiance were so nice and were a big break from the hustle and bustle of Time Square. This was best food we had during our entire stay. They had and extensive wine and cocktail menu and the service was impeccable. Icing on the cake was the decorated dessert plate, made especially for my daughter and we were able to meet the chef personaly. The entire experience at Wall & Water was one that we will never forget."

"This was not my first visit to W&W since I work evenings just a block away. This was my first visit since they have made changes after Sandy. The menu before the change was more interesting than the current menu and while the atmosphere remains pretty good it is not quite as special as it was. The waiter could use some more training."

"We're becoming regulars here!! The staff could not be more congenial here at this hotel restaurant that feels more like a special neighborhood place. Sleek and sexy. Some very fun people-watching (two guys were busy picking up two girls at the next table - email addresses seemed to be exchanged, though they went home alone, it's a classy place, after all!) Don't miss the truffled chicken or the creamy polenta. Hopefully the menu will be enlarged again once all the Sandy troubles are in the distant past."

"Although we attended during Restaurant Week, we decided not to do the RW six-course tasting menu. We were very pleased with our entrees - burger, salmon, and chicken. A little surprised that they had run out of the listed sauvignon blanc by the glass. The dessert menu was limited, but we really enjoyed the PB&J special."

"Every time I eat here, I love it more. Lunch of salmon served over lovely red lentils cooked with cubed bacon with a balsamic reduction to garnish the plate. I'm telling you, delicious. A side of polenta with truffel oil...perfect. Don't hesitate because this is in a hotel - very worth it. Also has a generous Restaurant Week menu. Basically, choose 3 courses from their menu with only a couple of supplements."
