Half the food didn’t come out for our order. Staff barely checks on you. Cost not a good reflection of food quality

Hi Dora, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with us. That is not a reflection of what we strive for here at The Grey Dog, if you decide to give us another chance please ask for Erin or Caleb.

Food was excellent, and the service was great. However, it was extremely hot indoors. I would return, I just hope that in the summertime they fix the AC issue.

Thank you for the kind review, Layla! Consider our AC now officially up & running at all times :)

Indoors pleasant but can be very noisy. Outdoors quieter. Good, helpful service, but for outdoor dining, sometimes need to wave for service. Food was unexpectedly exceptional: fresh, healthful ingredients, delicious, and ample portions. A real find.

My sister and I had lunch here on Thursday. We arrived ahead of our reservation and were seated early with no problem. The place is adorable. We sat in a small corner, so I'm not sure how the noise level in a more central location would be, but we definitely did not feel it was noisy overall. The food was excellent - just so delicious, and the portions were great. I wished there had been a little more tofu on the Sweet & Spicy Tofu bowl only because it was so good, but it was still a decent amount. She raved about her sandwich and sweet potato fries. The service was lovely. People were very nice, and it felt like a team effort, where more than one person was paying attention to our table. Honestly, there are so many great places to eat in NYC, but the next time I'm in Union Square, I'll come back to this one. Too good an experience not to be repeated.
