This review is mainly about the 40/40 restaurant located at the Barclays .............. My wife and I went in to have dinner at the 40/40 restaurant and see an Islanders game. I found it extremely hard to find anything online about the restaurant and calling the reservation # gets nothing but a recorded message. In fact I found that calling all numbers for any dept. at Barclays Center gets a very pleasant recorded massage referring you to their website. Their website was not much help either. We had very little hope and made backup plans to eat somewhere on 5th Ave. The backup plans were mainly due to the lack of info available about the place. Now, having said that, once we were at Barclays Center things started to become evident and fall into place. At the end of it all our entire evening was outstanding !
Here's the lowdown on 40/40:
-They open an hour before the event, so don't waste your time getting there earlier than that.
- It is buffet style eating, with no real menu to choose from so you won't find one online. Think wedding reception with both hot and cold foods, a carving station, desert station, etc... The night I was there (1/22/2017) it was $50 a person but prices may vary according to the event venue.
- Seating choices are plentiful and our table had a nice view of the ice too :-)
- Servers bring plates to your table and you help yourself to the options as many times as you want. Everything we tried was very good and everyone we interacted with at the restaurant was pleasant and helpful.
