Best kept Secret !
Provided by Citysearch
So a friend of mine who stayed at Warwick Hotel highly recommended Murals on 54 and of course I left a very satisfied AND an educated customer. The place is beautifully designed with history, and tons of it (Thanks to the very knowledgeable host ""Bobby"") with murals painted on the high-ceiling walls. The food was superbly made. I tried their skirt steak and being that I am a big steak eater, it was surprisingly very moist and tender.. Compliments to the Chef! My girlfriend tried their special, a risotto dish and an a definite thumbs up. The staff was very polite and knew their wine selection. Speaking of the wine selection, the wine list has a huge array of great wines, from half bottles to whatever else your heart desires. Overall I had a really nice experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone, regardless of being a guest at the hotel. Oh and I hear they may start serving brunch on the weekends, so I'll be on the look out!

Just Average

Ok, I've only heard good things about this place so when I ordered my chicken, I was surprised that it was so dry and that the couscous had no flavor and was actually pretty gross. I guess that's what I get for ordering chicken at a steak/burger joint. I've learned my lesson.. I think? The drinks were super strong which means no complaints from me! The salad was deliciousioso!! My friend ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly and I had to take a bite, but that only made me angrier at myself for not ordering steak.. =(\r The service was very professional, and really polite but kinda slow.\r

Great find!
Provided by Citysearch
I happened to come across Murals on 54 through Open Table when I was looking for an Italian restaurant near the theatre and was very very pleased with my find. The floor to ceiling murals in the dining room are beautiful!! And the history of them is so interesting. The food (which I was told that it is their new Italian menu) was great! We had the Lamb Osso Buco and my wife had the Branzino. Great selection on the wine list too! Everything was amazing. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. I think I found a new hot spot in Manhattan. Bravo!! We WILL be back

Avoid at all costs

Go in and see the exquisite murals by all means, but do NOT dine there. The worst food and service that I have experienced in New York in a long time. I went for the Christmas buffet. The roast beef was raw, the turkey was dry and the vegtables were cold. The wait help was helpless. This could be great restuarant. What a shame.

would not go back

Was seated on time, had 1 person taking all orders. Received our food and asked for salt and pepper (no tables had salt and pepper on them) and never did receive the salt. Service was a little slow. Would not go back again.

Do not be seduced by a pretty face.

This restaurant inspired high hopes due to the other reviews. Knew it wouldn't be great but it is convenient to City Center and other venues so good would have been very acceptable. The room was pleasant but the food was just bearable to awful. My husbands chicken needed a magnifying glass to find on the plate and it looked like it had been left in the oven for weeks; brown, dry and tasteless. Never again, eater beware! artartart

Great Service, Food and Decor
Provided by Citysearch
I went to Murals on 54 after a recommendation from a friend, and I found it superb. It was great value for money. The food was great - sea bass was impeccably done. The waiters were attentive and our glasses were always refilled. The server had good recommendations and the quite atmosphere is perfect for dates. The murals on the wall were beautiful - hence the name ""Murals on 54"". Overall, it was a delightful meal and we enjoyed ourselves very much.\r

A quiet surprise
Provided by Citysearch
Attentive and caring service. Water glass was never empty. (did the busboy attend to only our table?) I have a wheat allergy and the waiter made sure that everything I ordered was wheat free. Pre theater dinner a great value. The restaurant is attractive, quiet and we will certainly be back soon. Convenient to City Center, MTC and Carnegie Hall.

murals
Provided by Citysearch
i went there on a date and thought it was the perfect choice. the environment was quiet enough that we could hear each other yet there were others around. the paintings were beautiful and gave us somehting to talk about. I had the sea bass and it was GREAT!!! highly reccomend it for occasions where you want an upscale yet casual dining experience while focusing on your company.

what a pitty...
Provided by Citysearch
i went to Murals w/ a colleague of mine, and i picked it due to its ratings on citysearch, and it did not meet expectations. The carpaccio i got was very tasty, and the warm bread was good, but our main course took 25 min to arrive, and the waiter never apologized. My plate was burning, b/c my salmon was waiting under the lamp for a .... LONG time... and the vegetables were dried out and cold. When i told the manager he was very apologetic, and the waiter then came by and apologized by saying htat he had forgotten to put in the second order, and by the time he did, my salmon was done a long time ago... then we wanted to try the dessert, DO NOT GET THE TIRAMISU, b/c it is literally frozen, and you need a knife, and ""man""power to cut it. I was dissappointed!

Pre-theater, anniversary dinner
Provided by Citysearch
My wife and I had dinner at Murals on 54 on 3/5/05. This was a great place. The decor was upscale, but unpretentious. Every person on the staff was extremely pleasant. The food was outstanding. My wife had the scallops baked in the shell, and I had the crab cakes appetizers. Both were very good (The crab cakes could have been hotter, but they were loaded with crab and that made up for it.) I had Chilean sea bass and my wife had rack of lamb. Both dishes were supurb. For dessert my wife ordered a chocolate cake that we were told would take 15 minutes to prepare. They were right on the money. Fifteen minutes after we ordered, this very decadant chocolate cake appeared from the kitchen. It didn't last long. We had a wonderful dinner and still had more than enough time to walk to the theatre.

spectacular place!
Provided by Citysearch
My colleague took me to Murals on 54 for dinner, and I was extremely impressed. The classy red decor around the two murals was splended - nothing overdone. Was a little overwhelmed at first- I felt like our conversation had to be kept low because of the heavy ambience, but the friendly servers made us feel at home soon after (at one point, the manager came over to see how we were doing- and he's very very cute and courteous). We had the escargot and thai ceviche as appetizer. Ceviche was good, but escargot was spectacular. My colleague had fish (forgot exactly what- think seabass), and I had the skirt steak chimichurri which were both so good it makes my mouth water thinking back. The restaurant was more on the slow side, but we got the extra attention and were treated like VIPs.

So Excited...only to be so disappointed
Provided by Citysearch
Went with a business partner to lunch hoping for fish, only to find three seafood selections on the lunch menu. Although the place's decor is very elegant, the food was fair and the service was lousy. Our server paid little attention to refilling our drinks, the runners brought the entrees out less than 1 minute after the appetizer, the server delivered another table's bill to us before we had even had entrees, and my partner's entree has a very noticable hair on his plate. And I think that all speaks for itself.

As good as it gets

This is what I hope for when I go out to dinner. The service was the best I have ever had, attentive without feeling like the staff was joining me for dinner. The scallop appetizer is amazingly creative and equally delicious. I could go on, but I can simply say, dine at Murals on 54.
