Brasserie Cognac Central Park South — Restaurant in New York

After a lovely afternoon wandering through Central Park and much needed shopping at Bergdorf Goodman, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a late lunch at this charming restaurant we stumbled upon. From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel right at home, and we were seated almost immediately. We kicked things off with the onion soup, and wow, it was fantastic! Rich and flavorful, with that perfect cheesy topping—it was the ultimate comfort food. Next up was the aged burger, which honestly was perfection on a plate. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. And then there was the spicy rigatoni a la vodka—oh my goodness, it was out of this world! The creamy sauce with just the right kick had us both raving about it. I was so blown away by the experience that I couldn’t help but text my parents, who are planning a trip to NYC in a couple of weeks. I told them they absolutely have to make this place a stop on their trip—it’s too good to miss! I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another meal here. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. You...

I ordered French onion soup and a burger. After waiting for an hour, both the soup and burger were brought out at the same time. In response to my question as to why both the appetizer and main course were brought out at the same time I was told that it takes a long time to make French onion soup. After I protested, the waiter suggested that I take soup home. I didn’t think it was a good idea and decided to just eat it there. Soup was cold, tasted awful, and the cheese on top was hard as a rock. After I told the waiter that soup didn’t taste good he assured me that he would let the chef know. I just asked him to take the soup away. Although the service was courteous and pleasant, I thought it was unprofessional. The soup was clearly left on a counter for an hour, got cold, and tasted so bad I couldn’t eat it. The waiter didn’t offer to take it off the bill. The burger though was juicy and flavorful. My companion had pasta and liked it. Stay away from...

Cute place, great food choices too. However, the service was disappointing. Yes the food took a bit to come out, which is fine to some degree, but we never had a waiter. We had several different people do random things for our table. Drinks were never refilled, they never asked if we wanted more of anything, and they never checked on our table and how our food was. It was not until the end when our plates were cleared and our drinks were empty that they asked if we wanted something else. We politely said no, and it took another 15 minutes to get our check. The food was excellent, but unfortunately, we would not return due to...
