    Buffet food terrible. Half hot items were cold and tasteless. Not appetizing. What a far cry from the old trackside and Pegasus restaurants at the old location. Staff so non-energetic. Depressing atmosphere

    It was ok, just ok. At one point salad dish was empty and took a few minutes to refill. With respecting the carving station, you could only get meat very rare. It was the only way it was offered.

    We were told that we would not be in Pink due to lack of people. We were put in Trotters Restaurant which was filled to capacity! It was very crowded, felt like people were sitting on top of each other. Food was better in Pink. Was told the menu was the same, but not so.

    My wife and I visited on a Saturday as part of our trip to New York from Scotland. Straight away we were made to feel very welcome and were given a table right at the window with great views of the track. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff were great. It was a steak carvery buffet style and the food overall was fantastic. The chef even came out later on to ask the different tables how the food was which was a great touch. He seemed like the type of guy that if anyone had any minor complaints he would take it on board and look to given reasons or improve. No issues from us though and would certainly be somewhere we would attend again.

    The executive chef Dennis did a great job cooking tonight! Exciting time had by all. We actually won a few races. Lots of fun in a relaxing atmosphere. Will come again with a larger group.

    The food was fresh and plentiful. The staff was great and the best thing was it was a buffet served by gloved staff and not everyone helping themselves. I am looking forward to our next trip to Pink. Keep up the good work by the Meadowlands race track in hiring a tremendous chef and staff.

    I think that the buffet is a great value for the money. The venue is nice and the quality of the food is excellent. The service could be better and I think it is because you might need more help. The people were very nice and professional. I would recommend Pink to others.

    Only if they are going to bet and are hungry. Not necessarily for a dining experience The way the dining was promoted I thought it was going to be a nicer experience in sense where the ambience would not look like a sports center . Of course is like a race track venue - but the dining just seem so much more to it online

    I wish the service was more attentive. Food is pretty good. We had to wait too long for drink refills and our check.
