    I walk past this diner all the time and finally decided to try it. Cozy diner with cute booths. It was busy and raining when I came in the employees were very accommodating as I opted for their covered outdoor seating and changed my mind preferring indoor seating. The chicken souvlaki was a little messy to eat but delicious. The chicken pesto panini was good but it would’ve liked a tad more chicken. The fries were really good, I would go back just for them and curious about their breakfast items like their dulce de leche French toast and eggs w/ corn-beef hash

    Really great food, quick and friendly service, nice atmosphere! Our best breakfast during our 2 week US vacation!

    I thought, okay, a diner. But its so much more: a clean, casual, relaxed, full service restaurant with a wonderful selection of delicious food. The staff could not have been nicer. A lovely experience! Ill be back.

    The Viand, located on Columbus Avenue on the UWS of Manhattan, is so lovely!! I visited for the first time recently to have breakfast with a friend and we had a great experience. The atmosphere reminds me of a classic New York City diner, as its cozy + warm inside. The staff are really kind - my friend & I sat for quite a while and never felt rushed or hurried during our visit. The food is SO delish. I highly recommend their Another Avocado Toast (sub for poached egg), their Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and their French Fries!! I love this spot - highly recommend!

  • Review 6 (2023-06-03 - Rating: 4)

    Nice family diner. Great place to have a simple, functional basic breakfast . Service was fast, efficient and the lady who served us was very courteous. If you are looking for eggs, toast, omelette etc then Viand is a good option to consider

  • Review 7 (2024-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    One of the rare places that doesnt overcharge for asking gluten free pancakes

  • Review 8 (2022-06-23 - Rating: 4)

    They have almost everything we would expected in a diner for breakfast. The Texas wrap, Greek omelette with bacons, pancakes were good for the adults. The kids meals: chicken fingers with French fries, hot dog, and French toasts with soft drinks were good for the kids. They did not have free refills for the kids soft drinks, but they had refill for coffee. The coffee was okay, but I prefer to go to a coffee shop for my morning coffee. Overall, it’s a decent breakfast experience.

    Spending the weekend in NYC and looked for a place to have breakfast near Central Park and to our good fortune found Viand!! Solid reviews and really deserves more than a 4.3 rating..come on folks, hype up your favorite spots… because this place a strong and steady flow of local New Yorkers for breakfast (especially families with young kids).My breakfast sandwich, The Modern, was delicious! I was able to change the ciabatta bread to the brioche bun which was soft and sweet and the tomato bacon jam was out of this world, yummy. I’ll definitely add bacon to this sandwich next time. My partner got the steak and eggs, good sized steak, well seasoned, cooked to the desired temperature and the eggs they use here are huge and hearty! We don’t usually like shredded hash browns ( prefer breakfast potatoes) but their hash browns are pretty good with onions and peppers and again, well seasoned.Atmosphere is very nice, small but not cramped, clean, and the staff are wonderful; friendly and attentive without being overbearing and they seem to work well as a team to serve all customers. Overall this was a really great experience, slight dings for the fact that the coffee was pretty weak (and o don’t like strong coffee so that’s saying something), and the orange juice was a bit tart/bitter. But that aside we enjoyed it so much we ordered a salad and Cuban sandwich to-go for lunch later!Awesome food, great service… stop by!!

    We were quite impressed with the food and the service at the Viand diner. Last night we had the turkey meatloaf with green beans and a sweet potato. Everything was done to perfection and very tasty. Tonight we stopped in for dessert and tried their Russian coffee cake which was to die for! Plenty of nuts, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.The waiters we had were very attentive providing great service. I also had some mint tea and they served a high quality organic tea, Mighty Leaf. You don’t normally see that in restaurants. All in all, a very impressive performance at a reasonable price.

  • Review 11 (2022-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    A nice cozy diner. Great place for brunch on weekends specially if you are looking for an early one. They open around 7am which is rare in the area. The shahsuka is really good. The French Toast is really large so be ready :) very friendly staff.

    Hands-down, some of the best service I’ve had in the city. Our kids were treated like gold. The gluten-free Cuban sandwich was astoundingly good.

  • Review 16 (2024-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    I highly recommend this establishment! From the home orange juice to the delicious eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce had just the little extra love that made it different from many others that I have had.Service was kind, quick, and able to give solid recommendations. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean!

  • Review 17 (2023-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    The turkey dinner here is absolutely amazing. The stuffing is so flavourful and delicious, the dark meat turkey is moist and tender, and the gravy is great. The price is great considering the huge portion size also. Theres usually not a wait for a table or a long wait for food, so that is nice also. Ive found occasionally the food doesnt come out super hot, or the odd dry piece of turkey, but in general it is very good. Ive been here many times. Their other food is great also!

  • Review 18 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    I go here approximately once a week. Food is consistently good. Very friendly servers who take pride in their work.

  • Review 23 (2024-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    * Dulce de leche french toast was refreshingly not too sweet* the feta was overpowering in the Greek omelette

  • Review 24 (2024-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    I highly recommend this place. We went for brunch on Sunday. We were 3, and with no reservation, we waited 30 minutes. It really goes faster if you are. The portions are very large. Pancakes were tasty and one of the best breakfast sandwiches. Also, they have gluten-free pancakes and gluten-free buns or toasts.

  • Review 25 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Id happily come back. Kid-friendly, adult drink-friendly, and food variety to please the group. Im posting the breakfast and lunch menus since I only saw the brunch special menu in prior reviews. For the keto crowd, Id highly recommend the cobb salad. Hearty portions of chicken, bacon, blue cheese, egg, and avocado. Swapped out the corn for cucumber and used lemon wedges instead of the dressing.

  • Review 26 (2024-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Really good food in a quaint dinner with friendly service. Definitely recommend the dulce de leche French toast. My friend got the tiramisu pancakes and loved them.

  • Review 27 (2023-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    Oh man, sit back and let me tell you... We were trying to eat across the street, but they were serving some sort of off-script dinner menu that was not what we wanted.The Viand was not even on our radar as a place to eat, but they were close... and serving pancakes and eggs at night, plus some sort of delicious country burger. They even had Lagunitas IPA on tap.The whole family was pleased. I dont know what they ordered, because I ate everything in the last paragraph and Im still full. Recommend.

  • Review 28 (2024-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome place! Great happy hour deal and good food

  • Review 29 (2024-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    Upscale but classic NYC diner. We had breakfast- great selection, good eggs and hash browns, sizable portions. Bottomless coffee, really good service.

  • Review 30 (2023-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    We stumbled into this restaurant and I am glad we did too. The food was HUGE and tasty. It all arrived quickly. The menu was huge with a variety of items to choose fromI loved my gyros!

  • Review 31 (2023-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    Walked by this place and decided to try it out. I ordered off the daily specials dinner menu and got a filet with bearnaise sauce, asparagus, and scalloped potatoes. This was legitimately one of the best meals Ive ever had. It was so delicious.

  • Review 32 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 4)

    We stopped in here on a whim one morning for breakfast. I have to say that the the Dulce de leche French toast is incredible and one of the best things I tried on our trip. It was so fluffy and light. And the buttermilk pancakes were also phenomenal. Again, incredibly fluffy, light and tasteful. I got an Irish Coffee which was good, but I was a little disappointed in the amount of Irish whiskey. I’m not a big drinker but it was weak in terms of alcohol content. Service was also very good. We sat outside which was fine with the outside heaters keeping us warm. But the area is so incredibly cramped. I realize that more tables = more revenue but for the comfort of your patrons, maybe take a table away and spare some room. Overall a very good experience to be sure.

  • Review 33 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Ate outside on a nice day. The menu had a pretty good selection and the food was great. Definitely coming back.

  • Review 34 (2023-01-05 - Rating: 4)

    Ive written a review about a year ago which took a rather dim view of one of their dishes: the chicken parmesan. This particular meal was a bust. However, since that occasion Wife and I visited for breakfast and lunch. Both meals were exceptional. Hot, fresh, well made and I give kudos to the limited staff who never forgot to check on us and made sure the coffee cups were full. Face it, sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss. The chicken parm wasnt good so avoid that dish. Everything else has been excellent.

  • Review 35 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for a weekend brunch and it did NOT disappoint. Their benedicts are amazing. The eggs in purgatory was SO delicious I still think about it from time to time!! Service was great; we sat outside and it was honestly really lovely. If youre looking for a good breakfast spot thats casual yet classy, this is the one!!

  • Review 36 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    The Modern is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in years! They don’t skimp on the egg and jam, and the ciabatta bread feels freshly made. Very reasonably priced too! $20 per person for a sandwich and coffee

  • Review 37 (2024-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    The classic burger is perfect, the attention too

  • Review 38 (2021-12-22 - Rating: 4)

    Knocked off 1 star because it feels a bit pricey, and one of the staffs had pretty bad customer service.That being said, all the food was really yummy. Big portions so just ordering one plate and dessert was more than enough. The cappuccino was really delicious. You get the sense that they make almost everything from scratch there.Definitely recommend if youre in the mood for a nice casual diner (thats a bit pricey).

    Good fresh food and nice portions. Ordered as well as dined in. They do their delivery which is great. Food comes hot and wrapped up well. A lot of options. Ive enjoyed everything Ive ordered.

  • Review 44 (2021-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic service and tasty food. We went around 9 AM on Sunday and ordered the challah french toast, the egg and piggy sandwich, and the Greek omelette. All the food arrived to the table at the perfect temperature and well prepared. But out of all of them, I would recommend the toast.

  • Review 45 (2024-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent!!! The food is amazing and the service was outstanding!

  • Review 46 (2019-04-13 - Rating: 4)

    The prices were a bit higher than Im used to for diner style food but the portions more than make up for it. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and the chicken itself was almost as wide at the plate. Unfortunately the turkey in the famous turkey sandwich was a bit dry. Its a very relaxed environment thats good for children and small groups. I would definitely recommend to someone looking for traditional diner fare.

  • Review 47 (2022-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Great dinner with a decent menu. The pastrami sandwich was very good. The staff is very attentive and nice. Its a place where I definitely want to return and try more food from the menu.

    Came here after visiting the museum with family from out of town. The portions were big and food was good. I wasnt to thrilled about the mozzarella sticks or the plantain chips that came with my meal. I ordered thencuban sandwich which was great

  • Review 49 (2021-06-27 - Rating: 4)

    Food was good, the chicken parm was ok chicken was a bit hard with no much flavor the pasta that came with it was actually the best part of the dish, the flat bread margarita was actually pretty good with nice flavor and good size too.Mozzarella sticks were actually too hard thought they had good flavor.Waffle fries were really good though they were a bit greasy.Service was excellent and food was served fast, no complains here.My suggestion is to buy appetizers instead of main dishes, if you get a main dish be ready to split it they come with enough food for 2 people to eat.

  • Review 50 (2022-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    We live in the neighborhood and the Viand has become a go to place for our Seamless orders. The food is great, the portions large, and all extra instructions followed. I have found the same characteristics when I go there in person.

  • Review 51 (2022-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly one of the best diners i have been too. The have a great menu, which had a lot too choose from. I had shared the Margherita Flatbread, the focaccia chicken pesto sandwich and pancakes. Each item was amazing, the Magherita flat bread was very fresh, the foaccica flatbread was great the pesto tasted great, and it was a a perfect focaccia bread, and the pancakes were the perfect diner pancakes i could eat thousands of them, and the wait staff were extremely friendly. Would totally come back!

  • Review 52 (2020-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    Liked it a lot! Honestly, was a default decision because we were running late for a concert. Turned out to be a great decision.We told hostess we were kind of in a hurry. No problem. Seated, immediately attended. Not attitude from anyone. Its a very comfy place. Liked the layout and the decor - contemporary but very comfy the way a diner should be.Food was terrific (excellent burger), nice wine selection if youre into that, portions generous, service friendly and efficient. We liked it so much, we came back after the concert for desert.

    Great diner food. The place was busy and you could tell the people working there really cared about what they do. The design of the restaurant was a bit strange though. It looked nice, but didnt make me think it was a diner. It looked more like it would be like Panera or singing along those lines.

    Short Rib Gnocchi. Skip everything and go straight for the SRG. Absolutely a #WoWFactor times 100. Best Short Rib dish Ive had...ever.

    Best brunch place Ive had in NYC! I recommend you buy off the Brunch Specials menu and you get a free drink. The Southern Eggs Benedict (exquisite and luxurious gritz) and Dulce de Leche French Toast (they dont skimp - best for a sweet tooth) are my favorites dishes! The atmosphere is lively on any Saturday or Sunday.

  • Review 76 (2022-09-08 - Rating: 4)

    Having been a long time patron of the 72nd St branch glad to see they opened another branch on the west side.Pretty much the same setup as the other branch. I usually go for the Philly cheesesteak but decided to try the turkey club this time. It was mostly fine but the turkey seemed a little dry, which surprised me as theyre usually better than this. Chalk it up to an off day.We also had the chicken pesto sandwich, which I thought had too little pesto. Double the amount and it would have been perfect.Still better food than the diners in my current neighbourhood so not going to put me off.Like the outdoor seating too.

    Diner food shouldnt be expensive, but then this is New York City. This place is actually very reasonably priced for the portion size and quality. I came here twice and the food is consistent. The atmosphere is also much nicer than most diners. It is very cozy and friendly- a nice place to come with friends. It is my go-to in the UWS for a diner food fix. Tip: their homemade jams are excellent and they come with toast with any egg dish.

    The turkey dinner is very good, but I think it feeds 2-3 people and not one.

    That is the second time I asked for delivery. OMG! The steak is so good and juicy. It looks very much like the barbecue in Brazil. Accompany vegetables and the fries, which is very crunchy.

  • Review 134 (2024-01-15 - Rating: 4)

    I usually go to Viand Cafe down a few blocks from this place, must be broadway and W 74th? Or around there. Anyway this place has the same diner set up, little booths and a small bar and such, in nostalgic black and white interior. Clean place, very busy but with efficient service.The menu was a little more upscale than Viand Cafe - a brunch section had some healthier options, like the modern, a breakfast sandwich with eggs and kale and tomato-bacon jam. I loved this, and that jam was delicious.I love Viand Cafe. Viand must be some sister place up here on W 86th, and it’s equally good. I always mark my favorite diners and inexpensive restaurants for repeat visits.

  • Review 135 (2024-01-10 - Rating: 4)

    Upscale diner food with a comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. The Viand has been a mainstay for me up until recently, as they continue to raise their prices by nearly 15%. I unfortunately can no longer justify going here after several years, as the value no longer feels proportionate.

    Good friendly little diner! Good coffee. Forgot my sons coke, but a small error in the grand scheme of things. The gluten free pancakes are excellent but filling. The fruit upgrade on the kids meal is tasty and fresh.

  • Review 148 (2023-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    Viand is a classic diner serving up great food, great diner ambiance and the service sets the bar high. I ordered food to go and upon picking up my order, the bartender went over my order it was then I realized I had ordered incorrectly. The bartender (I later found out is Olga) made sure they corrected my mistake, yes you heard that correctly. She took care of everything and assured I’d get the correct order. I have been back many times and Olga and staff have always been superior. Never disappoints!!

    We were a family of 4 and we had steak and fries, spaghetti meatballs, and chicken teriyaki… and all three dishes were great 😊The service was good, and we were seated inside which was alright, but outside had probably been better.

    We come to Viand as a party of 10+ people every Friday night and Olga goes ABOVE and BEYOND to give us the best experience possible. She and Jimmy are so good to us and we are eternally grateful to them. And we’re pretty annoying and difficult. Give Olga and Jimmy a raise.
