- Caroline ChungMay 18, 2014Weekend Brunch: Get here early (opens at 10am) by 11am there are lots of couples and groups waiting outside.
Robert LangerFebruary 12, 2018Long wait for brunch. The latkes are amazing. The lox spread is pretty good too.
Mullica ZudsiriFebruary 21, 2017The wait was long but worth it. We got the Anne platter and it was more than enough for four of us.
Curtis ShoungDecember 22, 2015Platter for the table and try a few types of smoked fish deliciousness.
- MarmyMarch 3, 2018Brunch was okay and every rooms was full of people. Waiting for seats is perhaps 10 minutes for group contains 4 people. Service is very professional.
Ms HeleneMay 10, 2016Smoked salmon platter can be shared. Crispy potato latkes with apple sauce. Sadly dry chocolate babka French toast.
James FosterSeptember 7, 2020Their blintzes must have 😋😋. Open for pick-up and have a small seating area outside. A little costly.
Edna ChuaSeptember 23, 2016The coffee culture in US leaves much to be desired when I was served water when I ordered a flat white... that said, the food was great! Note to self: always check drinks menu first
NinaJune 14, 2014If you need to convince someone to convert to Judaism, just take them here. Babka french toast. Latke Lower Sunny Side.
Lily FNovember 10, 2015Whitefish salad, latkas with roe, specialty drinks. Can't go wrong here. Also has a beautiful interior!
The new-catch Holland herring served in a hot-dog bun is the best thing you will ever try here. Unfortunately it's an early summer treat only.
- Bartender Dimitri and hostess Zoe are wonderful and great at their job. Get to hot/cold smoked salmon and the super heeb
Simon YiAugust 22, 2014Get the Halva ice cream. Not too sweet, and the perfect way to balance your palate after having fish.- Tom MooreMay 30, 2018Latkes with roe, chicken liver and of course the smoked salmon were all just incredible.
Dave RaxworthyOctober 30, 2017The Bloody Mary with dill infused vodka is a must have. Along with any of the egg dishes
Roniel TesslerSeptember 19, 2015The only downside to this place is the wait time. Get there early or be forced to walk around for an hour and half until they call you.
The soft scramble eggs with caviar is the best 60$ you'll spend. New favorite breakfast place!- Katie AtwellMay 18, 2015Cutest atmosphere and the egg avo bagel sandwich is to die for. Love the cashew cheese on it
Maweł PazurkiewiczMay 12, 2017Amazing food. Great herrings! Lot's of crowd, be prepared for at least 30 mins wait.
bApril 14, 2015get the latkes with the salmon roe and creme fraiche. a nice play on lox and creme cheese
Jon SteinbackJune 19, 2015a bit pricier than the shop, but great options (including egg dishes) and a _beautiful_ design.
Sam GilApril 14, 2017Better spot if alone. I had no wait, often free bar stool. Lox is awesome. Bagel is solid but better around.
SunainaFebruary 12, 2015Went for the classic - smoked salmon, capers and cream cheese on toast. It was perfect.
Andrew LitvakJanuary 13, 2015The portions are delicious, but on the small side (especially for what you pay). Order a couple of things if you're actually hungry.- Jean TranSeptember 8, 2016Yum kippered, latkes, super heebster and MUST try Babka ice cream sandwich
Sandra RubinchikDecember 26, 2014If you're tryna be cute and take someone out on a nice dinner date here, make sure they're in the mood for breakfast.
Courtney TightMay 8, 2014The Halvah Ice Cream for dessert is a must. Sweet, a little nutty, and a total delight.
Hano AOctober 31, 2016Literally everything here is amazing. The halvah ice cream is out of this world.
Ingrid HartmanJuly 17, 2015Latkes were incredible! Also the herring trio was very light and delicious.
Kate GerasimovaJuly 10, 2016Absolutely delicious food and Bloody Mary, definitely coming back to try blini!
Alicia DDecember 6, 2015the classic board with everything bagel, matzo ball soup, and noodle kugel 👌🏼
Albert AlwangDecember 28, 2018I got a lot of pickled herring with a lot of interesting flavors. Bagels were delish.
