I gave Baja a 3 because it wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable. I expect a corporate feel when eating at restaurants on the Plaza, but it just didn't do much for me, like it almost needed more of a niche to make it interesting. The service was good. The food was alright, and the portions were large (the quesadilla appetizer was the largest I've ever seen), and the prices match the size. You'll leave full, but there won't be much to pull you back in again. As for vegetarians, those choices are pretty limited, mostly to the typical cheese enchilada type of items (and a few salads).
You would be better at any of the places on the Boulevard, or go a bit further south to Jalapeno's or Casa Del Rey.

54th Street amazes me that it survives. The entire wait staff is in a constant state of confusion. Sometimes food is prompt, other times it's a nightmare. While the menu is vast, it's the same thing you can get at Chiles, Fred P. Otts, Applebees. The one thing I can bank on is taking Prilosic before going. Eating at 54th Street is a weight loss program. I never eat there.

Re: “d'Bronx”
They still have the best pizza and sandwiches, but the redecorating is BORING. It used to be my favorite restaurant because it had charisma and was out of the ordinary.
I can understand them needing to clean it up a bit, but boring decor in Midtown? NOT smart.
