by Rachel W. on Scrumptious tacos at a good price! Loaded with all the fixings, I couldn't eat these slow enough. And the quesadilla... yummy grub. The "tortilla" almost looked and tasted like the frozen naan you can buy at the Asian supermarkets : soft, crispy, flaky, buttery, good.. Along with the beer and lovely company, I'd go again. Gets crowded fast, so get there early. Fortunately, a couple of the people I was meeting up with snagged a table for four. I swear, people would have started paying for our real estate. Thankfully, we bought all our food before the never-ending line commenced. A major plus: I love avocados, and the tacos had a heaping pile of guac on top!!
by Wiley Maddaleno on I've been past millions of times and it appears so peaceful I wanted to try it. So my boys & I decided to stop by for brunch. We were looking for someplace peaceful. Arrived about 2 PM on Saturday afternoon, and there were only nine tables seated (ironic or indication of a bad restaurant?) so it was the perfect spot to have a leisurely meal. I'm really surprised this place isn't busier. ATMOSPHERE. Very relaxed place. Lots of room so you can have your pick of location to dine in. The restaurant is spacious and consists of various dining areas. You can dine in the standard dining room or in an atrium/solarium/greenhouse (whatever they want to call it). Each section has its on persona. There is even space to chill out by the bar. The inside is clubby but the seating area and tables are spaced in a way as to not encroach the adjacent tables. This place could be good for families, trendy hipsters and single patrons. There is something for everyone. I love the bathrooms they gave me an old school elementary school affect. DRESS CODE? Casual. Lots of bitches in skinny jeans who aren't skinny enough to work them!! What is it with skinny jeans anyway?? MENU Pretty standard continental brunch menu, nothing innovative or signature. There are kids menus. MY MEAL One friend had the Huevos Rancheros, which smelled and tasted wonderful. The other ordered the Salmon; it was the smallest and most pitiful peace of salmon we saw as other tables got nice pieces. I had two eggs "over easy". When I got them there were over medium. When you mess up eggs, I wonder if the kitchen can complete orders that are more difficult? SERVICE Our waiter was absolutely fabulous! Outstanding. He had to be the happiest and most polite wait staff I've encountered in years or either he is on some fierce "happy pills"! He had to leave at the end of our meal and the young lady who took over our table was just as nice. PRICE Standard. I think it was appropriate for what was on the menu, however, I get the feeling that people come here for the atmosphere not the food. OVERALL / CONCLUSION Not the best meal and far from the worst. I would return for the ambiance or to bring visitors to a peaceful place in Manhattan. Note: Please check website for restaurant hours as they change on various days.
