Monica CullenSeptember 22, 2016Pink panther cocktail to start, truffle goat cheese croquettes to follow and finally the pan seared Branzino. All delicious! The Branzino is a generous portion--come hungry.
Katherine BrownDecember 29, 2014I really like the tuna tartare. I've had it a few times. Lunch or brunch with friends is great here. It's also great for a dinner date, very romantic in the evening.
Talk to the bartenders - they're awesome. Fresh ingredients lead to heavenly drinks - personal favorite the watermelon. The people who work there are incredibly friendly, so stay and enjoy company.
David PalmiereJuly 27, 2016Very nice place we happened on during a downpour. Oysters, beer, and bouillabaisse was mighty fine!
Mahammatt BabaMay 16, 2016The Duck ragout is very good. The duck is slow cooked and has good flavor. The sauce is light and creamy. Good option if you like duck.
Pete WebbJuly 20, 2017My favorite cafe for midday meetings or brunch dates ... Excellent service & cuisine - Ask for Dan!
Delicious meal of scallops and octopus - slight wait for entree so they gave us amazing chocolate cake gratis. Lovely!
Matthew SpectorJune 17, 2015A special bar-only oyster happy hour is a great deal - this place brings the cool and old school to the Upper West.- Mahammatt BabaMay 16, 2016The salmon is cooked to perfection with tons of great flavored. The mustard completely goes with the salmon.
Paige CJanuary 24, 2018Came here for brunch and they were very accommodating and friendly. Delicious burger and awesome appetizers!- Mahammatt BabaMay 16, 2016The Apple Tartin is very sweet, but has that strong apple flavor. Definitely a go to if you're into that.
Herm BelcherOctober 1, 2013Borderline stupid prices for their cocktails, everything else is on point. Good service. Great atmosphere.
Marinka YMay 21, 2014Steak tartar is delish! Great selection of wine and whiskey! Awesome service! Love that place!
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 21, 2016Reflect your inner self in a cocktail mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Ask the bartender of Cafe Tallelulah to make a Tequila Sunrise for you.
I've had my share of good cocktails here but today I had a pretty decent brunch too.
Yaz MusFebruary 27, 2015Can't go wrong with the food or the cocktails, highly recommend this neighborhood gem.- Drinks are the bomb. Bartenders are the bomb. This place is the bomb.
Giselle ValdezOctober 26, 2014We had the tuna tartare, salmon, and branzino for dinner. All spectacular! Apple crisp was just ok.
Carolyn ZentgrafFebruary 9, 2013Amazing cocktails served by a gorgeous female bartender from TX! What a relief to have a downtown style place uptown!
- Alyssa BereznakFebruary 8, 2015great classic cocktails, yummy steak. sorta expensive but very solid.
DaveFebruary 7, 2015Dollar oysters until 8 PM every night. They go down easy with a $16 house cocktail…
Lily NathansonNovember 27, 2013Great oyster happy hour. $1 a piece for good quality Montauk Pearl oysters!
FarrahFeroshAugust 4, 2013The vanilla bean French Toast with a side of applewood bacon is the definition of heaven.
ellen resnickNovember 26, 2013A drop dufficult menu. Nit great to customize to you specifics. Pretty place French influence
Andrew CApril 23, 2016Cute little french/American brunch place.... But service was unreasonably slow for an empty-ish restaurant and the omelette was bleeh, nothing special - overall NOT worth $60 for food and 2 drinks
The tarte flambé is amazing. Great for sharing at the bar!
The house salad and the Maximilian cocktail are amazing!
The old fashioned, made with Rittenhouse 100 proof rye. And for your friend a Sailor Jerry.- Paige CDecember 28, 2016They close at 2am yet they were turning the music off and trying to clear the place by midnight. Their loss because we were going to order more drinks.
Try the truffle fries. The bartender did magic tricks. Fun place for drinks.
Good food and great service, the French onion soup is a must!!!
Chicken liver mousse is outstanding as is the mushroom ravioli.
Katie Smith-AdairApril 29, 2013Oysters are $1 Monday-Thursday, 5-7 p.m. and Friday-Sunday from 4-7 p.m
Heather HMay 2, 2015The food was good the service not so much they screwed up my drink...twice! My Eggs Benedict was overcooked and had to ask them to re-do them. Will give it one more try.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaApril 1, 2016Close with a flourish this spring break and enjoy a refreshing Pueblo Viejo Cocktail here at Cafe Tallulah.
Doug ParkerJanuary 19, 2013Make sure you check what they don't have on the menu before you decide. Didn't have 1/3 of menu tonight. Servings are crazy small, prices very high, and service very slow. Not sure I'll be back.
