John HylandNovember 15, 2014This place is a GEM!!! Perfect for a family with a few children. A fun, creative menu, and they'll adapt it to your needs/choice. We had the brunch menu and it was fantastic!
Sherry JuMay 20, 2016Hearty portion and reasonably priced. Restaurant week is not even needed since their menu is already pretty expansive and well priced. Dessert is a must!
Brook ShelleyJuly 31, 2015The summer deal is amazing - 25 for three courses. I had the salmon tartare, steak milanese, and market berries. Spot on flavor, texture, and service. Also you can sit outside, and enjoy the breeze.
Ina LiFebruary 23, 2015Their chicken thigh pot pie is a must, especially in the brutal New York winter. Also the salmon tartar and lobster soup. The cheesecake lollipops are too sweet but cut to look at.
Macy MillsJuly 30, 2013Request to sit at the garden upstairs. Beautiful when the weather is nice, and much quieter than downstairs. The short rib was phenomenal. The monkey bread was TO DIE FOR. Enough for 4 people!
- @thirstyJuly 8, 2016The Urban Garden at David Burke Kitchen is a hidden treasure - and the Garden Iceberg Sorbet Cocktail, a cube of sorbet topped off with table side poured prosecco, is a must try this summer.
Elizabeth BeasleyJuly 21, 2016The classic vanilla bean crème brûlée gets a seasonal twist from executive pastry chef Tracy Wilk with the addition of summery strawberry rhubarb jam and lemon thyme cookies.
Yelena PerlinDecember 8, 2013Short rib and the pork chop are both great. The duck special and the foie gras potted duck were just okay. Octopus app is very good. The pecan pie with bourbon ice cream and the red velvet cake also👌
Kay LiedlNovember 9, 2014Great selection of starters - make sure to taste them all. Steak quality is superb with a nice cut and well aged. Deserts are amazing - go for the Monkeybread or the Cheescake Lollipops.
Mary Elise ChavezOctober 18, 2013Gluttony has met its match. So indulgent but utterly delicious. Great wait staff, lobster w/ lavender Brussel sprouts is delish. Monkey bread dessert is incredible but large serving - good for 4+.
Steven YSeptember 7, 2013Generous portions but the bread basket and appetizers are the best part of the meal - the pretzel crab cakes, lobster dumpling soup and burrata, asparagus and prosciutto are good; skip the lamb chops- I absolutely love this place. It's great in NY and in Chicago. The 55 day dry aged porterhouse for two is a meat-gasm. Order it medium rare, and it order the beef fat jalapeno fries and asparagus!
- Jenna Odett LaskinAugust 21, 2012restaurant week lunch is a great value. don't miss tuna tartare tacos. softshell crab BLT is impossible to eat without a mess, tasty. strawberry shortcake parfait has layers of confetti birthday cake!
Michael HaaralaAugust 24, 2016High brunch prices are justified by the unique and tasty food. Mini donuts + maple bacon + quail egg = Best breakfast sandwich in the area!
Paul SmithOctober 5, 2014Amazing food for brunch... Ask about any specials! The bread basket is amazing, try one of each of the four selections!
Timothy KimJanuary 17, 2016Great for brunch. Vanilla bean french toast (pictured) and ricotta pancakes were delicious. Also kid friendly.
TiffanyNovember 19, 2015Came for restaurant week and the food was great! Don't miss the monkey bread. It will fill you up with so much buttery and cinnamon goodness.
Christopher PepeAugust 9, 2013It has the same problem that all of David Burke's places have: everything is fantastic and creative except for the entrees. His main courses are just uninspired, so just order more jars!
amNewYorkOctober 3, 2011Order the Sweet Treats plate and you’ll get signature mini doughnuts and three mini ice cream sandwiches. The sandwich flavors change weekly, with combos such as popcorn ice cream and corn shortbread.
Branzino BandiniJune 13, 2012uests watch cooks assemble creative variations such as a black-and-white pancake with vanilla and chocolate fondant ($10), and a savory pastrami-salmon twist that tops three buttermilk discs.
Trae FDecember 11, 2016Fantastic evening here w great wine, food, and service. The salmon was excellent and the drunken donuts are fun and delicious
Alice ChaoAugust 2, 2017Food and service are both very good here! I had salmon which was perfectly prepared.
Dane TaylorApril 29, 2011Preztel Crab cakes, a must. Short Rib Cavetelli, phenomenal. Monkey Bread with Ice Cream outstanding. I'm a fatty the day after, bit I enjoyed my meal. Oh and cap the night w/a shot of absinthe.
Eelain SteketeeMay 31, 2011indoor/outdoor seating, great service, and the food is good. some suggestions: scallops & pork belly, short rib cavatelli, ocean cocktail jar, and pay attention to the daily specials.
Chris OlsonAugust 27, 2013I was thoroughly impressed. Short rib on the mac n cheese is one of the better dishes I have ever had. Biggest surprise? The whipped cream that came with the cake pop tree. Wow. Amazing.
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 14, 2014The Bitches Say: A-. Some of the dishes at David Burke's Kitchen—like the French toast and crab cake pretzel—were remarkable, while others were mediocre. Winner of the 2013 Best Hotel Brunch Award!
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the unconventional ants on a log. Roasted and split marrow bones studded with garlicky Pernod-and-fennel-butter-drenched snails. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Michelle Joni LapidosJanuary 18, 2012Try the Salmon With Pureed Parsnip And Bacon With Brussel Sprouts - RARE in every way - one of the best pieces of salmon I've had in my very salmon-filled life.
Girl Gone TravelOctober 27, 2012A great deal is their "Pancake Social" menu (weekend brunch) offers various pancakes dishes for $5! Their Bloody Mary with Bourbon is worth it.
Sofia PapastamelosSeptember 7, 2015Loved the garden deck! Awesome outdoor view. Eggs Benedict and burger are delicious and affordable options.
Ricky SherrillMarch 21, 2016One of my spots in SoHo for breakfast meetings. Good good, friendly service, quite will meet your needs every time.
J CrowleyOctober 19, 2012Burger and fries are a delicious choice. If you get the burger - flip it over immediately. Otherwise the bottom of the English muffin will get all soggy :(
Monti BrayFebruary 21, 2015Everything here is good but the burger is to die for. Their desserts are also quite tasty.
AmateurConciergeJanuary 18, 2015Great for a spacious soho brunch. Bacon is next level and everything else is up to par
Rhonda LeungAugust 7, 2014Lobster dumpling + Short Rib + Chocolate hazelnut crunch bar = my restaurant week lunch
LukeFebruary 23, 2015The dark horse for an expense account dinner in the hood, but worth it. Can't go wrong with the appetizers
Kris ConcepcionAugust 27, 2014Be sure to come with a group if 4 or more if you want a table with an umbrella on those sunny summer days.
Halstead PropertyNovember 21, 2011As a starter you must order the Pretzel Crab Cake. Layers of fresh crab meat form a delicious crab cake between thin lasagna like pretzel pieces
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014Tons of great menu items to choose from. Short ribs are incredible and always a good choice.
DJPRICEI$RIGHTAugust 9, 2011Talk About Having It All! Great Food, Sexy People, And Great Cocktails! Remember To Get Table Outside, View Is Fantastic! Also They Show Movies.
Love this place. Came here during jury duty lunch break. Highly recommend it.
Teresa WFebruary 9, 2012best restaurant week spot. I'd consider going twice. get the pretzel crab cake and the red velvet cream cheese dessert. phenom!
