I have eaten here several times, and while it is expensive, I found out recently that I have celiac disease, and it is a pleasure to have somewhere in midtown that has gluten free cake yipee!! Also the food is great, the veg lasagna is fabulous, and although I spend $20 I always have a dessert, or a choc bar included in that, and most of the time I eat twice from the same meal. We should not be eating sooo much food at one time anyway.

I ate there on Friday. I am a vegetarian and tried a pre-made raw vegetarian lasagna which was layers of thin-sliced zucchini, pesto, riccota, sundried tomatoes. It had a side of a green salad. The portion was on the small side and it was $10. But I have to say, it was incredibly delicious and light. Not somewhere I’d go daily but if something sounds tasty to you, worth a try.

I grabbed one of their prepackaged salads last week. It was good, but $11 great. I had roasted chicken with shaved pecorino and pignoli on bibb lettuce. The chicken was tasty – had flavor and tasted much better than a McDonald’s chicken filet. Still not sure it was worth the $$.

The staff didn’t seem well trained and I counted at least two manager types who were busy “looking busy” while the lines piled up for the cashier and coffee bar. Ultimately, I don’t think I’ll go back because it’s so understaffed and took so long to get in and out.

For the vegans: They carry Terra Nostra dairy free chocolate.

This place is horrible! Save your money, small portions , way over priced and the owner Peter is very rude. I work at the bank on the corner and thought it would be nice to have a new place come around but this place is a joke. GO TO DISHES if you want something good for lunch..

[...] Free Foods NYC, the brainchild of Chef Matt Kenney from Pure Food & Wine, is opening today on 45th btw. 5+6th. They are putting the finishing touches on the place this morning, and plan on being open by Noon for lunch. I caught a partial glimpse of the menu on the wall, and with Salads & Entrees all over $10, it looks like Midtown Lunch might be priced out of this one. The sandwich menu was on the far wall, so I couldn’t see the prices… Either way, the place looks pretty nice and I’m sure will be a welcome addition to all the well paid Midtown’ers who are looking for a more upscale deli experience.

Sounds like just another excuse to charge people obscene prices for mediocre deli food. Call it “organic/sustainable/free-range/crap-free” and triple the price while reducing portions by half. I’ll pass.
