"“Short money” gets Downtown Crossing lunch-goers and after-workers “solid” American fare, “inventive drinks” and “unpretentious wines” from a “focused list” (“love that it serves by the glass, half-carafe, full-carafe” or bottle) at this “laid-back” bistro; though the “cool” decor’s tiled surfaces make a “noisy” first impression, the “personable” staff engenders the intended “cozy atmosphere.”" - Zagat.com

"Gone is the edgy, scarlet-walled kitsch of predecessor Peking Tom’s; in its stead is the clean, crisp vibe of a café in some urban European railway depot. Kingston Station’s menu leans toward bistro cuisine as well, though it’s of the contemporary American variety so ubiquitous these days. Not that its familiarity is a bad thing; on the contrary, the kitchen’s emphasis on well-constructed basics that boast only a few neat twists is appreciable. Here fresh thyme brightens onion soup gratinée; there warm Gruyère tops truffled frites. Gruyère appears, too, atop the satisfying house burger, as do bacon and egg. By contrast, items that go all out go a bit too far---Gorgonzola-walnut ravioli suffers from a confusion of fig, mint, lemon and Sauternes. Luckily, price-wise, Kingston Station sticks with its tendency to toe the line; entrées don’t budge above the mid-$20s. Though hardly destined for greatness, this Downtown Crossing spot is certainly all about everyday goodness." - Gayot.com
