Brasserie 360

The Scene – A veritable upscale food court at the doorstep of Bloomingdale's, this space is a dead ringer for a sidewalk cafe in Strasbourg--until you wander upstairs to the sushi bar. Downstairs is for salad-munching shoppers and tourists; the serious eaters can be found above. – – The Food – The menu offers mostly workmanlike fare. Stick to the braised dishes, such as short ribs and Flemish carbonade. On the sushi front, there's always more in the bar's arsenal than the menu reveals. Of the rolls, spicy tuna is gorgeous, but yellowtail with pickled jalapeno is just a…

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:: If you want sushi, have it upstairs. Though the restaurant claims the menu is the same on both floors, the reality is that sushi bar customers get a wider range of choices.
Know Before You Go:: Remember to check out the rotating list of daily specials. They're some of the best dishes on the menu.
When to Go:: At peak times, tables are hard to score, but you can usually get a seat at the bar, where the restaurant's full menu is available.

WILL NEVER RETURN

Terribly overpriced food and NO QUALITY. They charged me $4 extra for eggwhites??? That makes an $18 omellette?? With ONE SLICE OF TOAST! RIDICULOUS. No bread, no water refill. The waiter didn't even stop by to check to see if we needed anything. I guess we should have gone to PATSY's next door. Don't waste your money or your taste buds on this place.

BAD BAD BAD

by sixftrdhd at Citysearch

After reading all the other reviews about how bad the food is I feel so lucky that we never got served here!!!! We entered the restaurant and were told by the manager to sit wherever we wanted to. 10 minutes later after trying to get a waitress' attention 3 times she finally came over and asked us what we wanted and when we said we wanted menus she told us that we only get menus if we were seated by the hostess and the waitress didn't want to give us menus. So we left and on the way out thanked the manager for nothing!!

USED to be one of my fave neighborhood spots

by sheriboberry at Citysearch

I used to go here at least once a month because it was one of my most fave places to eat. But, the last few times I've gone, its been extremely disappointing. My visits are occurring more like several months between instead of several weeks. One of my fave things was that they have Chimay on tap. The last 3 or 4 times I"ve gone the tap has either been broken or out or the distributor isn't very good. They say its very popular...well if its so popular it should be fixed more. They also are changing their menu and don't have things on their menu anymore. But, they have not updated their menu to reflect these changes. Three rounds of ordering before I got to something they still served. Their Kobe burger was one of my favorite things on the menu. So, since they were out of the other things, I went to my standby favorite. It was ok, not like usual. But, what was odd was its shape...it seemed too perfectely preformed in a perfect circle shape. This makes me think things are not hand-made. I know the final thing that sent me over was a personal pet peeve of mine. I absoltely hate to use the gigantic take home cartons when your takehome food is small enough to fit inyour pocket. Your food tumbles around the container like coins in the dryer making a gigantic mess. Also, it is a horrible waste to the environment for such a little item. I always ask for foil or wrap. I emphasized that I DID NOT want a container. So, it came back to me in a gigantic container. Even in those few feet travelling from the kitchen, my lilliputian leftover burger & its toppings were sprawled all over this goliath container like roadkill splattered all over the highway. I've kept going because of the Chimay on tap...but since they are so negligent with keeping it on tap I think I will nix it off my list.
