Delegates Dining Room — Restaurant in New York

The experience overall seemed unprofessional and haphazard. We were first escorted to the security office across the street where the attendants took our picture and copied our IDs. They gave us sticker name tags to wear inside the UN, and got both of our names wrong, despite the fact that had our IDs. At the end of the visit they berated my friend for taking a name tag that didn't have her name on it. That's your incompetence problem, not ours.

The Delegates Dining room is unadorned and looks a bit like a wedding reception room, despite the fact that the rest of the UN that I've seen is beautiful. The food was okay, the dessert was definitely the highlight of the meal. It is a buffet style meal, so I guess you could say you can get your moneys worth if you want to eat a ton of food. Our server refused to take a photo of us when I asked, saying it was against the rules, but later we asked another server, who took it.

Should have just been one piece and they would have had a beautiful panoramic view and a modern look.

The food served was very good but it was a sample service and I could not taste the full menu. The space is available for events and party's but getting through UN security may be a bit of a...

Classy lunch service with world class buffet (or order from a menu) in White table cloth space overlooking panoramic view of the East River. There is a dress code. Superb, attentive yet unobtrusive, service. Must make advance registration and go through security check. Allow additional time. The dining room may get closed to visitors during special UN events or emergencies. Additional space around the dining room may be reserved for large groups or events for lunch or other gatherings. During General Assembly, many special events are held here which close it to visitors. Extra effort to make it here at least once...
