Review from Tracy M.

This place was a pleasant surprise! Always walk by it and never knew they served food!
Pros: Had the chicken tacos and they were spicy, fresh, and amazing. It was topped with sour cream, red cabbage and cilantro. The menu had a variety of ethnic food. The view is perfect for people watching. Lots of lighting. Baby making music in the background. Heard they change their menu quite often.
Cons: The ice tea did not taste like ice tea and the beverages were pretty pricy as were the meals which were about $10-$12. But once again, we are in the UWS. The server wasn't too bright but I think he was new...or at least, I hope he was. Wish there was more seating. -

Not impressed with the food or drinks here, but the space is gorgeous! It's a great place to study or work, especially on sunny days when it's filled with light.
I've come here to write a couple of times and got away with sitting there not eating once. Honestly, if they want me to buy food they're going to need to make it worth those prices. I will drink water all day if need be.
By the time evening rolls around the pre-event crowd rolls in. During the day the business ebbs and flows, getting heaviest around lunch. If you get there early you can keep a seat all day.
It's a slightly better choice than the Atrium around the corner because the homeless folks don't come in and camp out. (Sometimes this is not a problem and sometimes it SO IS.)
Overall, this is an okay place. Not great, not bad. Heck, we need something after the loss of the B&N in this area. -

Gorgeous space that I wish I could give at least 4 stars to but for the grossly inflated prices. What else can you expect from this area and this venue though, is an argument you can make. Well that might hold water if I was not a local and wanted to just come through on occasion rather than as an out of towner doing it up large in the big city and will pay whatever because this is my first time at Lincoln Center. That logic leaves me to believe it's meant as a tourist trap and thus loses some of its gleam. All this being said, it's not above and beyond what you would expect in Manhattan there and elsewhere - though the quality of offerings is also questionnable.

It was a decent dining experience before the orchestra last week.
I got the fall salad,$9, and a glass of wine,$11.
I am a cheese lover, but the salad was dominated with these blue cheese curd like things that lacked flavor. The sweet potato and pumpkin seeds were lost in the sea of bland cheese.
The atmosphere was nice. The building, designed by diller, is all windows that allows for great natural light. There are a variety of sized tables, and people were friendly about sharing the larger ones.
The salad was served in a cardboard boat that made it appear small but it was actually a good size. Thank goodness the wine came in a proper glass.
I will dine here again before a show, but I'm not going out of my way -

Disclaimer: My star rating is totally subjective and rather arbitrary. The other day I gave 5 stars to Crepe Amour in DC because their hazelnut chocolate banana crepe completely, completely, completely beyond blew me away and utterly made up for the fact their service staff were pretty clueless. In the big scheme of things, cluelessness just didn't matter and it will never matter, and any time I go to DC, that is a must-go.
Well, I had to give At65 five stars to overall raise the rating lowered by reviewers who don't find anything special with this place. This place is all special. Right smack in Lincoln Center (technically, it's the Alice Tully Hall cafe), and visually, one of my versions of beautiful: all windows (and I mean *all windows*) looking out into the best section of the Upper West Side, my favorite neighborhood in Manhattan.
The food is fantastic, the sandwiches are huge, the soup is fresh and wonderful, the wine list is small but very carefully chosen, about $15 buys a beautiful meal and...c'mon...it's in Lincoln Effin Center. I mean...ya either get it or ya don't. If you are one who does get it, go, you'll understand all that comes at you from all sides, and you'll be happy you ignored the naysayers. -

as far as study spots go, i LOVE this place. the expansive windows, clean, bright and airy space makes for a wonderful place to sit and read and relax. on event days there's a bit more hustle and bustle but people are generally quiet, polite and really quite pleasant.
the staff here is not too pretentious and is fairly proficient in making a pretty amazing americano. this has proven to be more difficult than one might imagine at some other establishments... but i digress.
the food is a bit on the expensive side, but i believe that pretty good food + an enjoyable atmosphere makes it worth it.
i come here with my books and laptop while studying and its been very good to me. when it closes at 3 on non-event days, i just pack up and head towards the new york public library for performing arts and pick right up where i left off.
overall its a great spot for sitting, reading, lunching or chatting over a cappuccino. -

I didn't realize until recently that this place had an actual name of its own, although I suppose it should've been expected... I've been here many times since the opening of the beautiful newly-remodeled Alice Tully Hall, I've had soups and salads and sandwiches and pot-pies and coffees and teas and champagnes and wines and beers and sodas and mineral waters... Except for the alcohol during concert intermissions, everything has been very reasonably priced... Quality of food is what you'd expect at a much smaller, much more intimate venue -- there's a lot of attention paid to individual details -- everything is always just right, but never overly fussy...
There's always some random casually dressed Maitre d walking around casually collecting people's plates and glasses -- at least I hope he works here...
For the past couple of months there's been a greatly appreciated (it's a great daytime-date lunch-spot, or pre-gaming rendezvous very conveniently located only two blocks from my apartment) 1/2 price happy hour on all pre-concert alcoholic beverages.
For the past couple of weeks there's been an Illy stand out-front offering free cappuccinos and espressos -- I've been here every day, trying to get myself re-acclimated to waking up early and being productive at the office (which appears, thus far, to be an uphill battle) -- but I've been told this will stop at the end of the NY Film Festival.Listed in: My Upper West

Stopped here for a quick drink with m'lady before going to a show at Lincoln Center.
I think we both ordered just one since we were short on time, so I can't comment on much, but I will say that the gin drink I ordered was delicious, and while I don't usually like it when my drink comes in a martini glass, somehow I liked that this one did... it was cloudy with fresh squeezed lemon and topped with a single rose petal. I say, BadAss.
The space is pretty cool, too. All architecturally interesting and stuff.
The waiter was fabulous, actually. We told him we could only stay for a quick drink and he made sure the drinks and the bill came out immediately as we requested, and was very attentive in the little time he had.
The only reason I give it three stars is that I probably won't be back - I've had experiences like this in most other cities. When I'm in Manhattan, I want Manhattan, so next time I'll go look for it somewhere else.Listed in: Anthony in New York

Great pastries--the lemon tart is amazing. Good cappuccinos, too. I love the space; all glass, super high ceilings, very open. Great for people-watching.

If you're in Lincoln center and just don't feel like walking that far to get a quick bite or drink, then come here. Otherwise, I'd suggest venturing out to somewhere else! It wasn't bad, just not anything special. And overpriced.

There is nothing special about this little cafe as far as I can tell. Limited food options and small portions for too much money. I got a sandwich here before going to an event and it was not memorable. My friend had lemon cake which he seemed to love though. The tea options are quite limited (I think three?) and the coffee seemed to be getting old. The only reason I would go here is in a pinch.

A classy, clean, pretty quick place to grab a bite before a performance at the Met. The glass windows looking onto the street provided plenty of light for a nice ambiance. I had the at65 signature salad with chicken. It was delish. $14.

Sit and sip inside an architectural statement at the new cafe inside Alice Tully Hall.
The renovation of Alice Tully Hall by Diller Scofidio is almost complete. The exterior glass facade that juts so menacingly over the street provides a different ambiance altogether inside. It is like a soaring, light filled cathedral. Add beautiful figured wood and other luxurious (though understated) materials and you have a truly special place to sit and take a break.
A bit on the pricey side, I paid $9 for an iced tea (no free refills) and an apple tart for breakfast, but in line with what you expect at a place like Bouchon Bakery down the street at TWC. And at least the tea came in a beautiful glass instead of paper. I will definitely come back to see how it is at lunch time. I think at night it is used for the intermissions during performances, but I am not sure.
You can sit undisturbed as long as you like. You could also sit outside on the steps designed for seating. One Friday afternoon I saw a concert being held outside (see pic).
Go cool your heels and support the arts this summer! -

I went yesterday and was really not impressed with the food or the service. It is pricey with small portions and the soup tasted as though it came straight from a can. I admit it's a nice place to sit and there is internet connection but we won't be going again for anything other than coffee.

A nice, modern space in Lincoln Center. My boyfriend and I came in for a quick meal before a show and was pleased with the experience. Our waiter was speedy without seeming rushed, which was a unique balance. I got the Market Salad, which was on the smaller side of salads ($10) but definitely filled me up. My boyfriend got the basil chicken salad, which was very tasty - something delicious is in the mayo. The sandwich came with a side of not-enough-salty chips. We also got two glasses of the Astoria Prosecco ($10/each). All in all, definitely a pricey meal for its contents - like eating in a museum - but it was a good dining experience overall and definitely did the trick.

Alice Tully Hall's new glass atrium is a nice spot to chill with an iced tea while taking advantage of Lincoln Center's free campus-wide wifi. There's a variety of seating available, including a bar, high and low tables, couches, and benches. The sandwiches are pricey, the bathrooms are clean. A welcome addition on the Upper West Side.
