We had the most unbelievable experience at Bad Roman last night. We were celebrating our engagement and the Bad Roman management team and Tamara D our waitress went above and beyond to make the occasion memorable. The hospitality was exceptional, the food was fantastic and we felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The pepperoncini martini was as amazing as we had heard as were the ‘Roni cups and whipped ricotta with truffle honey. We will now be frequent diners for life and will continue to recommend Bad Roman extremely highly because of this phenomenal experience. It’s rare to find a restaurant that makes you feel this well taken care of, and we can’t wait to come back!

Excellent dining experience. We weren't in a rush to dine however, service took a total of 3 hours. We waited almost an hour for apps. It might have been worth it. The food was amazing as was the atmosphere. Such a wonderful view

We had a wonderful lunch on a beautiful day overlooking the water in Central Park. Excellent food, beautifully presented, and excellent service from Christopher. A lovely place for a special lunch or dinner - quintessentially New York! I live here and still think it is one of the best New York experiences.

    Came for lunch on a Friday, fantastic! Fridays are fairly quiet and it’s easy to get a seat. Our party came at different times for our reservation, and they accommodated us well at the bar. One of my party members has challenging dietary restrictions, and our waitress did a phenomenal job of checking with the kitchen, and also was upbeat and kind and chatted with us for a while. The Seafood Chowder is my favorite! The hush puppies are a must too. Loved the apple pie.
