The Cornell Club-New York Review

The location and the service is nice. The food is marginal.

Love this place. Perfect get away. Friendly
Decent food, wonderful breakfast in dining room.

Nice quiet place to grab a bite and a few drinks. Doesn't have the normal crowded and loud vibe of most of midtown. Cornell membership required.

Love the history. Architecture is incredible. Must be a member.

Great staff beautiful place g8 for parties and business meetings

Nice place for Cornell students and faculty. Right in the middle of Manhattan. Convenient for transit and visiting tech campus.

Friendly staff, quality bites and right size portions. When you order make sure to say the entire name of dish as they often have similar dishes served at other times of the day.

Today I had the Cobb salad for lunch. Quite good. Shrimp, bacon, chicken, loads of differing veggies, and light dressing. Usually, Cobb's have too much lettuce. Here, they might want to add a little more! I know, weirdly refreshing.

On the whole, the club has been great, so far. I haven't ventured beyond the first floor, so I cannot speak to anything other than the lobby and the first floor restaurant.

The lobby is smaller than Harvard, Penn, University, NY Yacht, Racket, and any of the other big social clubs in NYC. It is more in line with the Friar's club,

Still, it is well appointed, has a decent cup of coffee, and has attendant's cleaning up on a constant basis. No phone calls or business meetings makes it reasonably relaxing.

The first floor restaurant is larger and I have never failed to get a table. The menu at lunch, only meal I've taken, is standard American fare. Hamburgers, salads, sandwiches are the staple, though they may have other main courses.

Pricing is about what one would expect from a mid- town lunch- ours was about $50 for two. That excludes wine and desserts, though it does include tax and the included service charge. Service was good, but not overbearing.

Completely indecent behavior. Staff has an air of classism that does not express a decent level of actual class.

Very good service against club members only. Unless you are invited like me. You will be in charge of one of the captain of the floor Mr. Papa faty who will take good care of you. Thank you

Really dated and not business friendly at all. Bartender needs a little training in customer service. I would definitely not bring a Client here.

I travel to NYC three or four times per year (more if only going for the day.) Great location, super clean rooms, and great staff. I am a member of an affiliate school and feel very fortunate to have this opportunity. If you are an alum from Brown, Colgate, Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stanford, Tulane, and Wake Forest (and of course Cornell), you must check this out! It truly is my NYC pied-a-terre.

Food is just ok. Location is central. Parking and traffic are impossible

Wooden walls, dim lights, leather bound books... Very clubby, as one would expect, but the food and drink isn't that good.

I was at a meeting with some friends. A great prestige place to visit.

Whenever I Have attended events here it is all done beautifully.Service is always pleasant and efficent.Food offerings are always delicious and well displayed.

Today my business partner and I came into Cayuga room. My partner just landed at the JFK. Due to some reason he did not wear business casual. However, this is amazingly ridiculous. The waiter at the Cayuga room rudely said you should not wear this in a very unbelievable way. I can not imagine in Cornell club there is racist existing! My business partner was really angry and this is the first time he has been treated like this in a club. Although something is happening, everything should be peacefully communicated. The way he has been treated is really unacceptable. Asian is minor here but can not be treated like this here!

I ve been to Cornell Club more than 20 times so far, it s one of my favorite places to eat when I m in the city. The Moroccan salmon is juicy, tasty and absolutely amazing, you should try. I wish I could cook that myself. I also like the country feeling and decorations and it s not too pricey, giving that everything is super expensive in NYC. I m super pleased with the service too, the waiter Saresh and the bartender are super friendly, polite and attentive.

Classy and well-maintained, yet inviting and unpretentious. Tea and coffee service is available in the lobby space. Do note that the Club is very strict about not offering outside food and beverage items in the lobby - if you bring in a paper Starbucks cup, a staff member will discreetly come up to you and insist on pouring your beverage into a club mug for you. The food at the Big Red Tap & Grill is surprisingly good - the grilled salmon and fish n' chips are both solid choices.

Waited in the atrium for the big red bus. It was warm.

Nice facility overall smaller than Yale or Harvard but reception rooms and a grill area. The food offerings are delicious. I loved all the old wood throughout the building. Great atmosphere makes you want to find an overstuffed chair and have a cocktail or glass of fine wine

Comfortable rooms with great ascetics and attention to detail: Kuerig in the room, Aveda products, extremely comfy beds, and handsome room and bathroom. Very accommodating and pleasant staff, willing and eager to assist you whenever you need it. Exceedingly great value for the cost.

This is awesome place for staying here and the rooms are very impressive and the location of this club is nice and staff is also good and friendly behaviour and the food here is awesome and really grateful and the club is so impressed me so I recommend for visiting here people

I am going to take a bus tomorrow, I heard that there is a lot of money.

I've attended numerous meetings at the Cornell Club and have always been impressed with location, facility and the efforts of the staff to make sure that your every need is met.

Ahh the memories of this beautiful historic spot. As an alumni and former member of the club prior to moving from the city, it was a great place to meet and grab a bit. The food is great, the rooms when i travel back are great. Nothing more to add. Staff and everyone is always welcoming, and great place to connect with us ole big red folk.

Great for events and meetings. Have had Mother's Day brunch here for years and it's always a pleasure. Mom made us come back for Thanksgiving!

I stay here whenever I visit NYC, my hometown: gracious, helpful staff; lovely rooms; excellent food; super clean; extremely comfortable. Love The Cornell Club!

Not very impressed with food or front desk staff. Penn Club much better

Fantastic service in an awesome location! Members and their guests only.

Amazing traditions, great private meal in the library.

Hanging out with Cornell graduates and alumni fancy Club in New York City

Cornell Club has a great location in the heart of New York City, if you need a spot for an on-the-fly meeting.

Well managed temporary Meeting facility. Excellent location. I'll use Cornell Club again.

Good location and venue for professional training event. Lunch was very good.

Storied place held beloved by generations of Cornell alumni. Great place for business meetings, strategically located close to Grand Central terminal. Internet is spotty, like at the Ithaca campus . Food is ok but unfortunately you can't bring food from outside.

Great place. We had a three days conference here and everything was perfectly in order. They gave great catering services too. Enjoyed my time here.

Delicious food great service and of course nostalgia abounds

I went here with friend who is in his late seveties, he has been going there since this place started. The staff were very nice to us. I loved the entire experience. I would definitely go back there.
Although they discourage people working in the didning area. I really like this place. Well maintained, good food, prices are not that high.
Give it a try if you are around :)

Location is central which is nice and the rooms are clean.

Staff in dinning room very friendly, professional and helpful

Very fancy looking place, shelter then I thought it would be. Elevators are slow.

Comfortable atmosphere and clubby environment. Service is sometimes slow but always friendly.

The Cornell Club of New York is the best club in New York City with an outstanding location just a few blocks from Grand Central Station. It's an easy commute for members and guests. The best food for the price is subsidized by Cornell University and the staff is from the Cornell Hotel School the best in the country offering impeccable service with a smile making members and guests feel at home. The guest rooms are beautifully decorated large rooms with the most up to date electronics at the most reasonable prices in New Yotk City. Guest suites with 500 square feet are not uncommon. Breakfast is included. The dress code is casual in all rooms except for the Cayuga room where jacket without a tie is required. The food is deliciously prepared with an excellent wine list and the service is perfect. A beautiful historic building in a convenient midtown location you'll absolutely love it it's amazing :) I'm a member who loves the Cornell Club.

My family has been going to Cornell for generations. Not bad.

Nice Accomdations and food at a private club in NYC

A cornell alumn should enroll. The lobster nights are amazing. The event spaces are great as well as all the complimentary events held for cornell alumn as well as the club members.

The food was superb. Better than any other club I've been to.
