Winson WongFebruary 2, 2015Really nice atmosphere, very European style. Love the outdoor space during the summer, dog friendly. Favorite thing is the fried chicken sandwich for lunch. Great service and pleasant place to go.
Eunice KimMarch 26, 2016The duck confit Cubano was good. Had it w/ the side salad but you can opt for fries! More than the food, I loved the service and friendly staff members! Also, the interior was adorable. Worth a visit
Kerry FrumApril 26, 2015Love everything about Monument Lane. Great place to meet friends or a date! Great food and cocktails, everything is changing seasonally based on Greenmarket availability. Excellent regional beer list
Ru LuOctober 23, 2014Very impressed by the service (they don't rush you to get the check), the food was perfect portioned for dates or for friends to share. Most importantly, the pumpkin cheesecake is to die for.- Brad LApril 24, 2016Unassuming. Friendly, attentive service. Excellent chilaquiles & French toast. Wish there were more places like this in the 'hood.
$15 Grass Fed Burger and a beer/wine special on Monday nights at the bar!
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 16, 2015The Bitches say: B-. Charming both inside and out, with great service. Farm-to-table food offerings are fresh, though they don’t necessarily stand out from others in the city. Read more
Every Monday it's $15 for a burger and glass of wine (or craft beer) at the bar. Great burger, and booze selection is top-notch.
Margot GDecember 19, 2015The decor is beautiful and cozy. The bathroom is large & decorated fantastically & has wonderful hardware fixtures. The service was great- as was the food.
Ebee DMarch 7, 2015Seared Elk was delicious, brisket so satisfying. Tuna tartar was reallllly salty, I would have skipped that dish. Have the off the menu Gin drink- Fun fact: In 1762, a monument honoring General James Wolfe, who died in the pre-Revolutionary Battle of Quebec, was erected in the vicinity; thereafter, the street was referred to as Monument Lane.
Jared BrodskySeptember 7, 2013Hands down one of the best brunches I've had in NY. The Farmers scramble was wonderfully fresh. Love the old New York decor.
Anne ConnerJanuary 3, 2016A damn good pancake. Perfect location, chill atmosphere. Brunch recommendation!
The Corcoran GroupJuly 22, 2011Step off the busy streets and into a laid back atmosphere. Within seconds you’ll be seated and devouring a whole-wheat pretzel with melted Gouda – it’s delicious.
Nicole DesmondJanuary 26, 2013Try the butcher board and the butter poached Maine lobster. The lobster dish is small but delicious! Butcher board is really large ;-)
Kirsten AlanaFebruary 3, 2014If you're into peanut butter + chocolate, order their "Peanut Butter Cup." Might be the best iteration of that flavor combination that I've ever had.
SebMay 6, 2015Nice terrace in a lovely street. After an incident with a rude waiter, Elisa, the manager, elegantly took it over and treated us very kindly.
ChelseaNovember 10, 2014Brunch was delicious. Their version of a Croque Madame on grilled bread was out of this world!
Jess SAugust 31, 2011Adorable setting. Love the service here. The Lobster roll is great. Crunchy bun, nice texture. Harvest Salad comes a close second for health on a plate
Rosalind PlutaJanuary 15, 2015Squid app, kale salad, brussels sprouts, and peanut butter cup for dessert. My Wednesday night is complete
Ashley MallinsonMarch 1, 2012Discovered my new favorite neighborhood resto last night- Monument Lane. Shrimp stuffed mushrooms will Melt in your mouth. The lamb app is fall apart tender and good!
Ms HeleneOctober 12, 2014Smoked bluefish sandwich without bread $16. Good bar seating and corner location.
katy conradDecember 24, 2013Everything here is flavorful and delicious! Definitely worth stopping in. Had sirloin steak tonight... YUM
Denise MastJanuary 1, 2013Baked eggs with grits and broccoli rave is perfect brunch. And don't forget to order the biscuits!
veronica pragerJune 15, 2013Great service. Oysters were fresh & delicious. Cheese plate was amazing. Well made cocktails.
ᴡ ElliotApril 12, 2015The pastries, French toast, and ham hash are the way to go. The Benedict was just okay; skip the citrus revival
Look out for the map of old New York on the wall...If you look closely, you'll see how the place got its name.
CharlottesMarch 15, 2015Cute place w friendly service and good food. Not overly memorable but enjoyable. No complaints.
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014The brunch bread basket. Oh my goodness the bread basket. Just get it. And sit outside.
AndreaOctober 7, 2012We tried a variety of dishes and all were amazing! Try the shrimp and grits and chicken
- Denise MastSeptember 17, 2014Good food. Biscuits are awesome. But they need to remove rabbit from the menu. Ew.
Kristin MaverickAugust 22, 2011Grab a seat by the window at brunch. The chive egg scramble with pulled pork and baked beans was unbelievable.
Gabbie ChamorroJanuary 19, 2014Really wonderful service and they go out of your way to make one's birthday special
You pretty much can't go wrong here. Open til 1 or 2. Imperial IPA. Hot buttered radishes!!
