What a treat! Phenomenal neighborhood gem. Although it is small storefront, it is grand in so many ways. To start with they bring out delectable biscuit/croissant that doesn't even require butter. It simply melts in your mouth. We then had the baby artichokes and crab cake as our appetizers. The baby artichokes are divine and complimented by the pancetta hollandaise, salsa Verde and pecorino. The crab cake is also scrumptious with the Calabrian chili coulis that adds a very nice kick to the crab. We then moved onto our entrees. My wife had the Lobster Ravioli one of her favorites, while I had the Prawns with the saffron on risotto. We then finished it off with the chocolate mousse cake with the raspberry coulis. Save room as this is a very rich decadent treat. Their overall presentation of their dishes is an artform not equaled by many. It is not surprising that they have achieved a Michelan star in such a short period of time. Our hats off to all involved. One of the greatest attributes of Grand Central is the cost are well within reason.

A little bit of a weight for the pancakes, even though the restaurant was empty. But the quality was good, great service, and a good experience. We’ll be going back to try a different pancake.

Good overall experience. For numbers of workers I saw, wait service was slower than expected. Maybe add one more order taker and have one less buss person. Otherwise and generally a good experience.

The brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious! A must try. Both my friend and I had the shrimp and avocado salad, which was also delicious. The cashews added the perfect crunch to the salad.Great lunch spot!

While the food was definitely good unfortunately the service was very very slow. And the fact that there was hardly anybody sitting inside or outside of this restaurant makes the slow service very questionable.
