I really liked the wines I tasted at this Grand Central wine bar ... as well as their to-go wine counter.👍👍My favorite of what I tasted was their white Sauvignon Blanc. 👍😊👍I also really liked their wine flight options.The Mediterranean plate, I & friends tried on my last visit with a glass of Chardonnay was tasty & nicely presented. 👍😋

Located in Grand Central Station. A point of reunion after hours, or to make time to take your train. We went there and had a few brewskis. Bar tender was very nice and friendly.

Justin the manager and Nancy the Head Hostess were so inviting, kind, and welcoming. We were comfortable, the ambience was great, and the food and drinks were amazing. We had the cocktails: A Sunny Day in Paris & Alexanders Paper Plane - we highly recommend. The French fries were crispy and delicious. They will be seeing much more of us 😊 The love music was an amazing bonus!

The greeting host was welcoming.The waitresses, runners and bus staff worked well together during the meal.The food was nicely presented; hot foods were hot and cold foods were cold.A manager stopped by, to see if the meal and service were enjoyable.I would return. :-)

Had a great time at City Winery Grand Central — they were very accommodating for my reservation of 30 people & they made sure everyone was taken care of and given the same attention a smaller group would receive. Justin ensured we were able to purchase some gift cards on our way out, Peter was an excellent bartender making drinks faster than I thought was humanly possible. A big thank you to Evan who helped coordinate this large reservation for me and my college friends — we appreciate all of the team members at City Winery GC.

Did not enjoy it as much the last 2 times I have been. The apps were like what youd get at a chain restaurant heated in the microwave. Overpriced for that..... Service could be better, hard to get their attention when you need something. Its too bad, really liked it when I first visited. Miss the whipped feta app. That being said: the atmosphere and the wines are lovely. Im sure well be back...

Our time at City Winery was amazing—stationed in the heart of Grand Central, with live music, couldn’t be any more perfect. We are so grateful for Justin. The service and wine on tap was brilliant and delicious! Highly recommend.

Our server Sam was the absolute best, he took the time out to even play a game of chess with my 8yr old and made his day. our food was delishes and worth every penny.. The pineapple margarita was so tasty, if your a person that like sweet drinks like me.. The burger was cooked to perfection..

City Winery’s bar in Grand Central is a great home away from home for a commuter. Special shout out to Justin and Sarah and all the service staff who do a great job of making you feel well taken care of.

I was so happy to be able to eat at City Winery because they wear nitrile gloves and not latex gloves. I am allergic to latex gloves and so are many other people. It is important that people in the restaurant world are aware of all allergies that could affect a meal. Most restaurants that I call tell me that they use latex gloves. I had a great meal with family & friends last night. The place is beautiful, the wine was delicious and the food was yummy! Im so happy that I found a restaurant to eat when I visit NYC.

I appreciate the live music and the option for non-alcoholic beer. Great service usually. The food isnt bad. Of course Vanderbilt Hall is a beautiful space.

Caught up with a former work colleague here. Interesting place. Surrounded by Beaux Arts architecture in a grand hall. Friendly staff. The meat & cheese platter was enough for 2. Sipped on a Rose. Great NYC place to visit..

What a terrific City Winery location! Grand Central Station is already stunning but with more great wine, entertainment, and food, it only gets better with City Winery here!This City Winery serves coffee and pastries for morning commuters. Then switches to a full service restaurant as the day progresses.Such a great place to eat, drink, and hangout with friends and family.

I enjoyed the friendly, attentive service and the great tuna burger, but the burrata dish was over-drenched in vinaigrette and borderline pungent.

My best friend and I have made this place our go to before we get on our trains. Reasonably priced with the nicest staff. We’ve been here 4 or 5 times and never have a complaint. Another wonderful thing about accessing the LIRR from Grand Central.

Looking for a fabulous glass of wine, delectable bite of food, live entertainment and unrushed conversation in the historic beauty and convenience of Grand Central? Seems impossible but look no further than this slightly hidden gem. Ive enjoyed great experiences across several visits, Highly recommend.
