The Corcoran GroupApril 3, 2012A great place to chill out – they have a great bar and pool table downstairs. If you’re hungry, get the Gnocchi Fontina Gratin, Grilled Arctic Char or the plate of the day.
Dan MurphyDecember 4, 2014Large portions; the Mac&Cheese and Fries w/Gravy supercharged was a taste sensation. The wine selection weak (can't all be great). And the manager of the evening 'Johnny on the Spot.' Great place!
Absolutely the best brunch in the city! The Eggs Benedict is forever my favorite and can't be beat. Pair it with a few mimosas and you're all set for a fabulous day!
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJune 10, 2014The Crispy Skate Wing Sandwich is unreal! Consistency like pulled pork, with a spicy slaw and fresh brioche from Eli's Bakery. (On the lunch specials menu)
Annie AlfstadSeptember 28, 2014Great brunch spot. Limited outdoor seating. Service for sure leaves something to be desired - one great waiter, one super dud and manager didn't care- but good for leisurely brunch. Great food
Leslie TAugust 6, 2013Must get almond hash, french fries, and croque madame. I was pleasantly surprised to find Picpoul de Pinet wine here. Order that, it's a lip-smacker! Some dishes are quite large too.
John EJanuary 26, 2016Great atmosphere, good cocktail menu, and tasty French / American dishes. As for recommendations, I have two words: Buffalo cauliflower. Thank me later :)
Jennifer RossMay 13, 2016Perfect brunch spot for our group Mother's Day. Decor is rustic, shabby chic, & restaurant is large and spacious. Food was delicious, GO!
M SJuly 7, 2014Aside from the truffle prosciutto Mac & Cheese, the Braised Short Ribs, Cavatelli, and Roasted Asparagus & Fried Egg salad are winners. Great Bloody Mary's too.
Ms HeleneDecember 29, 2015Chilled 1/2 lobster $18, chestnut risotto and fish & chips. $25 prix fixe lunch incl app, entree & wine/beer
Zayed KhanJune 15, 2014Our server, Adam was friendly and had good timing (present but not overbearing). He also had a fantastically rich California blonde head of hair.
BettyNovember 4, 2016There's a hearty and solid lamb chop that's a Thursday special. Didn't expect it but these guys have solid green sencha tea! Good space for a group of 5.
Best free biscuits at brunch!!! Great entree selection and no wait time on weekends
Trae FMay 4, 2018The cod is amazing. One of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Great spot with a decent happy hour.
Anuj MathurJune 26, 2016grab drinks outdoors in a covered patio on a quiet flatiron block. order the cheese plate.
Cindy lauMarch 3, 2015Their cocktails are pretty interesting. Food is fresh and cooked perfectly. Try the daily specials. Also the escargot is decadent.
Meg RobertsonApril 13, 2014Super nice wait staff and excellent patio for people watching. Great fries. CONS: Most overcooked/dry burger ever, and they forgot my beer twice.
John PerezMay 31, 2015Toffee Cake was delicious! Not too sticky and overpowering. Short Ribs were good. California Kid cocktail was great as well.
Try the Baked alaska - What an amazing dessert, with peanut butter ice cream and meringue
Joey JApril 4, 2015Brussel Sprout Caesar w/ a side of Chicken Sausage. Almond Hash. Classic Bloody Marry. Good is fresh. We'll be back!
Ashley ChanFebruary 19, 2017Spacious place and large portions...get the truffle mac n cheese! The croque madame is very creamy and dense.
Roniel TesslerMay 29, 2015A safe bet in Flatiron. Great food at reasonable prices. Their lunch prix fixe is a great deal!
Michael KimMarch 14, 2013The portion sizes are large; the entrees are on the heavy side; the salads are great. Therefore, if you come with two, split an entree and a salad!
Judy CariMarch 14, 2014We love the Arctic char, Sardines, can't go wrong with the duck, but my fav is the Date cake!- Mike SingletonAugust 12, 2012Fantastic brunch, the home made pastrami was great but super rich, shouldn't finish it all
DensApril 14, 2014Yawn, I wasn't really impressed with anything I had here. Mac & Cheese and Gravy Fries are NOT epic, despite what some 4SQ tips say.
Kate JFebruary 2, 2012Brussels sprout salad and escargot are the bomb. Croquette gratin Lardon is to die for luxurious bar food - outrageously delicious.
Alexa ScordatoJanuary 5, 2019Good for large brunch parties. The place is huge. Almond hash is delish!
Gilt CityOctober 26, 2010With a menu caught somewhere between Paris and Long Island, Almond’s serving up the best of the modern bistro classics. You’ll be dreaming about the roast chick with potatoes for days.
James John (Jay) Cudney IVOctober 27, 2019Good bar service. Nice atmosphere. Mac and cheese and Oysters were tasty.- DavidMarch 12, 2016Amazing service! We had a steak that was slightly over, but still tasty. They took care of it. #wow
Go wild and split the buttermilk waffles with a friend for brunch. The homemade nutella is out of control...they should put it in a jar and sell it!
Ziggy AbdisubhanJuly 30, 2015Eggplant goat cheese ravioli 🍆 was so gooooood. Would've had me lickin the plate had this not been a fine establishment l
Get the flatbread but ask for two eggs sunny side up on top. Used to be on the menu but they've since removed it.
sit at the bar and ask for summer - she'll treat you right (though, all the bartenders are awesome). get the mac and cheese - it's so damn good, you'll want to smack yo' mama.
Amber VittoriaSeptember 22, 2014The small plate of the herbed goat cheese ravioli is perfect for a light dinner.
Andrey CherApril 29, 2014Don't leave some space for dessert. Just get some brandy, get dessert somewhere else, like bakery across the street
Vanessa BrownJuly 21, 2013Delicious mini-biscuits and wonderful food all around! Perfect brunch spot.

"This bistro transports you right to Paris. It's all about their limited availability Au poivre burger, which is in contention for best in the city. The crab beignets and Virgin Mary complete ur brunch"
