What People Are Saying About Murals on 54

The Scene – Bright murals, the source of a 1930s controversy, overlook this comfortable, tiered dining room in the Warwick Hotel, redesigned in shades of ivory and red but retaining the eponymous colonial scenes. The hushed atmosphere is broken occasionally by rambunctious hotel guests, but for the most part calm reigns. Service is affable but missteps can mar the experience. – – The Food – The menu's American standards--steaks, salads, raw bar goodies--are punctuated by occasional exotic flourishes, like Thai beef salad and Ecuadorian ceviche. These can be excellent:…

Best kept Secret !

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!
- Pros: Ambience, Service, Wine List, Food
- Cons: Candles on tables would be a nice touch

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.. =(
The service was very professional, and really polite but kinda slow.
- Pros: ambiance
- Cons: slow service,chicken

Great find!

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
- Pros: decor, food, wine list, service
- Cons: kind of quiet
