   The servers were superb doing it all, very attentive and friendly. The setting was delightful but the music loud, certainly not a Carnegie Hall vibe. Portions were large and prices a little steep but isn’t that part of the experience?

   I hve gone about 6 times in hopes that they have improved their service. Very slow service observed.. Our drinks were totally different from what we ordered and the plates they set down for our food were chipped badly !! Three different servers waited on us and they said it was because of shift changes at 5 o'clock happen. Who wld have shift changes at a time when theater is getting out?? All in all it was chaos all around. Won't be going back again!!!

   Excellent location, particularly if you have the tickets. Service is very quick and efficient. The only negative I can provide, and most people would consider it a positive, is the proportions are too large.

   The pork chop, Brussels sprouts and potatoes are the best I’ve ever had! Carnegie Diner doesn’t disappoint!!

   We had a fantastic waiter who was very attentive and helpful! Food was very good. The only complaint is the music was very loud.

   I know it is not the original Carnegie Deli and no affiliation, however, based on reviews and being in NYC, I thought the pastrami and corned beef would be better. It was tender, but tasteless and disappointing. I was hungry so I ate it, but we won’t be back. Sorry.

   Awesome burgers and fries. Very good location. Music was too loud but the rest of the dinner didn’t seem to care
