    Had the Branzino, sweetbreads, and Gazpacho, which were all great. Reasonable for the quality. Really nice staff, too!

    Mediterranean sea bass was good. Small place. Good service and food. One hiccup, reservations trump walk-ins, as in they'll make you feel as if your imposing DURING a meal when a reservation comes in.

    Don't discount the wait, in the winter especially, it's cold. Dress up warm and go get the coffee at blue bottle

    The fried oyster omelette is amazing. It is even better when paired with a Bloody Mary!

    Go with a group of 5 or more and ask for the private room downstairs... Great dining experience. Ah, and for brunch, the fried oyster omelet wins.

    I just don't understand why New Yorkers would want to spend an hour of their weekend queueing on the sidewalk? No from me to these wanky no-reservation spots.

    E - I go here for the bloody mary's more than the food. They're unique and awesome. Worth a try. #bruncheducation

    This tiny restaurant packs them in at all hours. I was especially impressed by the brunch menu, which takes familiar foods and elevates the flavors. -Maria Hines, Top Chef

    "Serious" food that doesn't take itself too seriously is exactly what you'll find at Prune. Indulge in their famous brunch, or dinner - the duck is amazing! Read more

    For brunch, put your name in and wait it out at Bluebird Coffee down the street. Get one of the bloodies, ricotta to share, oh, and the carbonara should be illegal.

    Would have been disappointed even if the bill was half as much. Short rib was kinda chewy, the duck was ok but didn’t like the pairing with the tomato vinaigrette. No carbs unless ordering a side.
