Editorial Review for Green Kitchen Restaurant – by Lori Fradkin

In Short
Opened more than 75 years ago, this airy family-owned diner still attracts groups and solos on the Upper East Side. The green exterior paint makes it easy to spot, and the natural theme continues inside with light wood floors and potted plants. As a wall of old New York scenes hints at the history, waiters in the signature-color shirts focus on the present and scramble to serve egg dishes, sandwiches, burgers, pastas, and hearty entrees.

I was there just the other evening after about 20 years without a visit! May I say the food was great, waiter pleasant and accomodating. The whole experience was great compared to the Chelsea diners I have been frequenting. I am very picky and I check for everything ,stains on glasses, dirty forks ,etc. and this was good! No complaints. I don't know why I've been away so long. I will be returning. The bathroom should be a little roomier.

I came in with a friend for lunch. The place was pretty much empty. We were seated somewhere we didn't want to sit, in-between 2 chatty tables, so we moved, and the waiter made a very unpleasant unsatisfied face in our direction. After a few minutes we started ordering. I asked to have greens instead of fries with my sandwich. He said " we don't do that", meanwhile some sandwiches on the list actually came with mixed greens. So I said "charge me extra if you need to, I don't want fries, I want mixed greens" he refused again, saying that the chef in the back will not do that no matter what. So we got up and left. They lost business, for no reason.
