by Loyd Dadamo on Sunday brunch~ $7 bottomless classic mimosa $10 bottomless pomegranate mimosa This place is like a club in the daytime. Loud music. Fun atmosphere. We had an awesome waitress who tolerated our rowdiness and kept the mimosas flowing. But was it worth... 1) 1.5 hour wait for our first 3 tables 2) additional 30-min wait for the last 2 tables 3) 45-min wait for our food ...for mediocre brunch food? Points for appearance and presentation. ( http://www.rateclubs.com/bi...) Minus big points for taste and technique. My biggest gripe had to be the overpoached eggs for our Eggs Benedict and Florentine. I cut into my egg, a light drizzle of yolk came out. *sigh* My friend cut into his egg, nothing came out. Jeeez. ( http://www.rateclubs.com/bi...) Plus the hollandaise sauce was flavorless and the house potatoes were overly salty. I guess they wanted to continue the club theme with the bathrooms. Bottomless mimosas + only 2 unisex stalls = constant long line.
by Marcelino Marshbanks on Friday night, a friend and I found ourselves foraging the Upper West Side for a good place to grab a few drinks. DeeScreenWriter suggested Jake's Dilemma. I had been once before and remembered having a relatively good time. Thus, Jake's Dilemma it was. The divish bar consists of two main areas and a basement nightclub. The front bar has booths, one pool table, and a beer pong table; the back room is reminiscent of an old law school library with couches, books, and tables; and I only passed by the nightclub on my way to the bathroom. The bar was crowded when we arrived at 11, but it emptied out after a few minutes allowing us to score seats in the back. We stuck with pitchers throughout the evening, ranging in price from $13-18. The best part about Jake's Dilemma is the crowd. ComicJoy joined us and what followed was an evening of laughs, cries, over-the-top story telling, and crowd mingling. A group of friends chatted us up because they were so impressed by ComicJoy's enthusiasm. A couple hours later, I had tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. Despite the location and the feeling you might be at a college fraternity party, the atmosphere is unpretentious. Everyone is there to have a good time, throw back a few, and mingle. They also serve food and have a cheap happy hour. I cannot say if I will be back, as I am not in the area often, but I will recommend it to friends looking for a decent place to drink on the Upper West.
