This is the best brunch in the city. Breakfast sandwich with sriracha Brussels sprouts, avocado toast with poached eggs, and country fried bacon with honey and Tabasco. Don't overlook the Bloody Mary.

Avocado toast, brussels sprout, and egg sandwich! Loved the hired non-alcoholic cocktail too. But the most amazing part was the SERVICE. Thank you for the amazing brunch experience

Bloody Mary lover?Make sure to taste booth their Bloody Mary and the Bloody Caesar. The later has more worcestershire sauce and comes with brussel sprouts wrapped in bacon!

Grilled Brook Trout with toasted almonds and asparagus sautéed in brown butter and grilled lemon wedge $28. Side of roasted Brussels sprouts are finely shaved with sriracha $9. Sit at bar.

The staff are extraordinary and friendly, and the food actually is better than what one has come to expect for "brunch." Small, always busy, but worth it. Try to go off hours... Brunch served until 4.

A cozy spot in the heart of the West Village. A beautiful corner restaurant. By day it’s a popular brunch spot to relax and people watch, by night, it’s good for a dimly lit dinner or just a drink.

The menu options include an egg sandwich with manchego on a croissant; a smoked salmon tartine with eggs and caper cream cheese; and a crowd-pleasing avocado toast with eggs. Read more

I was perfectly happy with my steak until I took a bite of my girlfriend's Pork Hock and was swept with an overwhelming wave of food regrets. Luckily I had the Sriracha Brussel Sprouts to comfort me

Get a feast to share. Sriracha Brussels sprouts, avocado toast, and the monkey bread!
Alyssa B.July 8, 2021
Coming back here for the cocktails. And the banoffee pie was a good ending to all! The burger was trendy (in an english muffin) but executed well. Very friendly staff.
Lizzie MartinApril 9, 2017
The wait staff is awesome and make you feel like you've been there a hundred times, and the food is delicious! Highly recommend the salmon and the salted caramel pudding.
Emily WilsonFebruary 15, 2016
If you're here for dinner, caramelized cauliflower and steak tartare are awesome appetizers. The roasted chicken is a delicious main. The service is exceptional, trust your waiter's recommendations.

One of my fave din spots! Super fun ambiance with a good crowd. I love that the place is chill yet good food! Get the sriracha brussel sprouts for a side and salted caramel pudding (incredible)!
Matt BentonNovember 22, 2016
Cozy, good food. Serve Stumptown coffee which is a bonus. Try their hashbrowns, they're really thin strands which gets both crispy on the outside and kinda fluffy on the inside. Super good and unique.
Alexis BendjouiaOctober 11, 2014
Happening brunch spot with great vibes and really nice waiters and host. The avo toast is less exciting than I expected but I would still come back everyday. Expect to wait.
Khaled AOctober 24, 2014
Dine like an 1849er. This incredibly small place makes some of the most incredible food. The egg sandwich is out of the world n so is the benedict. The french press coffee is absolutely amazing.
Ruby AnayaJanuary 1, 2017
The Greens and Eggs 🍳- filling and spicy 🌶. I'd pass on the country fried bacon unless you're with at least three other people who also love bacon 🥓
GayngoodMay 10, 2019
The artichokes and the hanger steak are to die for but everything is is rather meh. This includes the Brussels sprouts everyone raves about, the eggplant which is over cooked mush, + the fritto misto
Scott PenderMarch 28, 2015
Lamb neck confit is amazing - melts in your mouth. Ribs special and pork hock are also fantastic. Not as crazy about the veggie sides, but they do some amazing things with meat!
Paul HanleyDecember 4, 2020
Sandwiches is best. The staff are extraordinary and friendly, and the food is excellent and service is fast. Quality and quantity is superb. Price is affordable. Recommended to friends.
JSeptember 18, 2020
Super delicious food (fairytale eggplant & confit tomato are excellent appetizers) & an epic cocktail list that does a great spin on classic cocktails!
Emily K.February 16, 2015
Hip-hop brunch beats. The Bloody Caesar (with bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts and an oyster) is the only way to start things off.
Hnnssy25March 10, 2013
Brunch menu is so damn good. I had the avocado toast breakfast w/cheddar grits & not one but two TuK TuK's. I drank it all plus the beautiful edible flower. Try the country fried bacon Life changing.
Catherine PayantMarch 18, 2018
Perfect spot for a lazy brunch. Best challah French toast ever. Great mocktails for the non-boozers as well!
ArdvaarkApril 30, 2016
The garlic and pork sausage comes with five big slices. It's worth getting on the side of any order, even if you don't eat it all.

This is our home away from home! We can’t get enough of the Caramelized Cauliflower or the Crispy Braised Pork Hock. And we always wash it down with at least one Magdalena!
Chelsea SolmoDecember 3, 2019
This cozy spot is always a fantastic experience. I recently went for my birthday and had Christina as a waiter. She was exceptional and made the experience very celebratory.
Ruben GuerreroAugust 24, 2013
No reservations but just fantastic food and tiny adorable date spot, great ambiance and great service. They have a chef's pass table for 2 that's awesome if you can snag that seat. $$$

One of my favorite places to brunch-the entire menu is top notch, & there's rarely a long wait. Get the Magdalena to drink-& head across the street to the puppy store for post-brunch cuteness!
Jessica WickhamSeptember 30, 2016
Lovely working lunch, amazing lentil soup and fried chicken sandwich. Cute Bloody Mary with a lager chaser too!
refinery29August 3, 2014
What to Order: Stick to the basic bistro fare here: frisee salad (fried egg, lardons, brioche and red wine vinaigrette) and a slab of country pate. Read more
Andreas SchreiberOctober 2, 2019
Great restaurant with extremely friendly staff. Food is very good. Can recommend the avocado toast.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014
There's a bang-up brandade, decorated with pepper marmalade, and a perfect frisee salad with lardons and egg, deconstructed but still unmistakably French. Read more
Kimberly AginSeptember 5, 2015
I must have been here on an off time. Nothing I got was very good - the Bloody Mary or the sausage/egg/hash brown dish. Everything was way over-cooked - and I like crispy hash browns!
jennifer hanMay 18, 2012
southern style brunch. try the egg sammie, the hash brown nest, and the country style bacon (it's double fried and drizzled in honey and tabasco). your heart may stop but you'll be happy.
KarenFebruary 16, 2017
Adorable space with very well portioned brunch food. I want to live here. Bonus: The tiny bathroom is well stocked with whatever you may need.

Service is great, the food is just fantastic, and the atmosphere is cozy. I had a bit of the burger and the chicken sandwich they were both 👌🏼
Helen LewisMarch 27, 2015
8/10. The lamb neck was amazingly tender. I normally hate Brussels sprouts but if my mum had made them like this I would have eaten them everyday. Service was fun.
CharlottesMay 24, 2015
A new favourite! The best brunch I've had for a while. Bloody Mary, egg sandwich with the lot and fried bacon side. Absolutely delicious, thanks Joseph!
Aidan BrewsterJanuary 13, 2015
Dinner was fabulous, servers were incredibly personally attentive and went out of their way to help me make some nice arrangements for myself and my date. Could not recommend more highly.
Andrew WoolfJanuary 26, 2014
Vegetable dishes rock. Try the pumpkin, cauliflower, Mac and cheese. Special fish and fritters were great too. Ask for a table in the back if possible.
MNovember 7, 2016
Everyone is super friendly. I highly recommend getting brunch at the bar. The monkey bread is amazing.
Michael CassisFebruary 17, 2020
Cozy place with great bloody marry and egg sandwich! Saucisson and white fish toast were great too
Myra WalkerJanuary 27, 2021
Best place in town. Good quality food with great quantity. Taste is yummy and delicious. Price is affordable. Recommended to friends and family.
Julia ColosimoDecember 27, 2017
You must have the brussels! Had a very enjoyable brunch here with my fiancé. Mimosas, garlic sausage, and people watching. 👓
Tohm SansaniJanuary 10, 2015
Coffee was way overpriced ($5 for a basic cup), but food was great. Get seats in the back overlooking the kitchen where you can choose your entree based on what looks best. Burger was delicious.
Vanessa GatlinJanuary 30, 2014
Harper's Bazaar says, "One of the coziest restaurants in the city, you feel like you're hidden from the world, especially if you get a table in the back corner."
Jenn AndrewsMarch 4, 2013
Must. Absolutely must get the butter lettuce salad with chicken, radish, goat cheese, and toasted almonds. Avocado toast (with chili flakes) is also a winner.
Reagan BarbosaMay 27, 2017
Absolutely loved the twice baked jelly roll. Must get that every time. Brussel sprouts and country fried bacon were also excellent.
emily chenAugust 15, 2016
Cutesy joint but the food has gone downhill and now a C rating! 😱 But if that doesn't deter you - bacon wrapped brussel oyster garnish bloody mary and fried chicken sandwich.
