   Second time at this restaurant with a friend who likes it. The first time, I didn’t like anything about it: our table, the service or the food so I was hesitant to go again. We requested a nice table so they seated us in the enclosed glass seating area which was much more pleasant and the food was good and they didn’t rush us.

   Went on a quiet, Sunday afternoon, prior to a show at the BPAC. It was a Very Good choice! We sat in the back where it was warm, cozy and quiet. Unlike many other restaurants, we were able to enjoy quiet conversation. Our waiter was a delight. He was helpful and attentive. We ordered: Fried Calamari, Honey Mustard Salmon, Chicken Cacciatore, Chicken Giovanni and Tartufo for dessert. ALL very delicious and plentiful. We live in Westchester County, NY and enjoy going to the BPAC. This venue is now officially our Go To restaurant whenever we're in town.

   Bicycle Club is always a good choice. Food is basic Italian. Nicely prepared and good size portions. Service is casual but pleasant.

   I feel that for the pricing - the wait staff and food taste should have been elevated. Dinner ( with only one drink ) was around $70 per person which I think is a little high as the pasta options were not that flavorful and we waited at least 10 mins between drinks to get apps and another 10 mins to flag someone to get a dessert menu and you guessed it again to pay for dinner The restaurant was less than 5% full if you look at the tables as we had an early reservation. Just not what I expected service wise for that price range.

   The food at the Bicycle Cub was very good. The menu was varied, lots of Italian and other choice. However the service was terrible! We were left waiting to order for over 30 minutes. The main course did not come for another30-40 minutes. Then we waited another 30-40minutes after we finished eating for someone to ask us if we wanted coffee and dessert.My wife and I were really disappointed in the service of this restaurant.

   We got there for Father’s Day brunch at 11:15 with a party of seven adults and two children when we arrived, we were among the first people in the restaurant we placed our order right away. We specifically asked that the children’s order please be brought out as quickly as possible one being yogurt and fruit, which does not need to be cooked and the other was plain pasta we waited for over an hour  to be served and this was with constant pressuring the manager and the waiter there was some problem in the kitchen with Ari, which was never clarified, but that’s not really my problem anyway  The children left without eating because they cannot wait any longer and it was a horrible experience

    Went on a Thursday nite w/ 5 friends. Had a round table (so nice). Service was great, food was really good - salads were fresh, fried zucchini strips crisp, excellent barrata. Baked clams a bit goopy - could have been done a bit more so topping was crispier. Drinks were great. And staff was great, not rushing us.
