Tash ConcepcionMarch 22, 2014The prix fixe brunch is a really good deal but it's a lot of food. Go HUNGRY. The pretzel crusted crab cake and steak and eggs are two of the best items on the menu.
Halstead PropertyNovember 15, 2012A gourmet 3 course prix fixe fit for a king, with appetizers ranging from lobster and blue hubbard squash bisque to a signature David Burke Pastrami “Salmon” Reuben with a traditional roasted turkey.
Hannah JonesSeptember 9, 2012The braised short ribs with homemade cavatelli with mushrooms was so unbelievably delicious. The ribeye and bone marrow mashed potatoes that my boyfriend had was also mouthwatering.- Christopher TaiSeptember 8, 2012Start with the pastrami salmon appetizer, and order the Prime Dry Aged Ribeye for your entree. This steak is no joke, get it medium rare - it's fatty and juicy! Best meal ever!
- Halstead PropertyNovember 1, 2011This place has its herbal menu items covered; Rosemary bread is a must try, and the Sage ice cream is more than surprisingly delicious (even if you typically arent a fan of these types of ingredients)
Renaissance HotelsOctober 17, 2012The Cheesecake Lollipop Tree, with a raspberry bubble-gum whipped cream dip, is refreshing and light, as well as an example of the chef's humor and playful attitude towards food. Read more
Food NetworkAugust 5, 2011On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Scott Conant is a kid again with the Cheesecake Lollipop Tree, complete with raspberries and bubblegum whipped cream, at David Burke Townhouse. Find more tips at FN Local Read more
Lizz SpanoFebruary 11, 2011DBTH has the best prix fixe lunch around. The food is so creative and delicious, the portions are generous, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. Only $25, everyday!
@palmerlawAugust 26, 2013Wow! Sunday Prix Fixe Menu is a steal at $35 for x3 courses (and at normal menu portions)! Drink deals too!
Alexandra PJanuary 18, 2012Crispy lobster, short rib cavatelli, caramel panna cotta, donut ferris wheel with baileys and salted caramel DIY filling... whimsical perfection
New York HabitatDecember 7, 2011The dishes here are truly unique and provide a very memorable experience. We recommend the pretzel crusted crab cake and the cheesecake lollipop tree. Yes, this is heaven.
Arlene MurphyJanuary 3, 2014Go for lunch. They usually have a price fixed menu that is reasonable. Pretzel crusted crab cake was outstanding!!
TeonaFebruary 15, 2011If you are in the area drop in for their prix fixe lunch menu. Love the vegitable scramble appetizer. It comes in an ostrich egg and is beyond delicious!
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 18, 2012When the food looks as good as it tastes, you know the chef learned from the best. Find out more about where Chef David Burke got his start. Read more
The Corcoran GroupApril 16, 2010Possibly one of the best brunches in the city, the lobster scrambled eggs are an absolute must!
Best brunch in NYC. Try the tuna/salmon tartare duo & the shrimp and grits.
Mariana LOctober 10, 2012The cheesecake lollipop tree looks good in theory, but I have yet to see anyone finish more than one pop. Don't order this unless you have a group of 6 to split it.
Matt MoonOctober 8, 2011No matter what you have as your main course, make sure to start with the parfait of tuna and salmon tartare.
StuDecember 5, 2010Good service; great brunch crab cakes; very cool lollipop cheese cake tree....eggs benedict tough as leather--very hard to cut, wound up tearing it up try to cut. :(
Gilt CityOctober 26, 2010This is experimental cuisine at its finest. Try the sea scallops “benedict” and the sumptuous lobster “steak”—and delight in food that’s pushing all kinds of limits
Steven.LFebruary 8, 2011fairly generous servings. lobster app is half a whole lobster -delish. Wasnt a fan of neither the crabcake nor tuna entree (both too dry). lobster steak was saucy but too salty. Sean was excellent!
BravoNovember 18, 2010Love pretty much everything on the menu…lollipop tree is crazy for dessert! -Dina Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ
Ana SviatschiSeptember 17, 2011Everything is good in this place! be sure to be in restaurant week! menu is very good!

- Mala SanderApril 8, 2010Fabulous for lunch. Popovers to die for. Chefs salad w grilled chicken and shrimp excellent and easy on the calories!
NYU Restaurateur ClubJuly 27, 2011Put on your most Upper East Side outfit, and gorge on the delicious fare!
MayeeMarch 13, 2011Crispy and angry lobster is even better than the raved chili pepper crab in Singapore
DanwenFebruary 3, 2013Their wait staff is pretty aggressive. Not even 5 minutes after we sat down 3 different people had come over and asked to take our drink order. Prix fixe brunch is pretty good though.
Phil AlampiFebruary 14, 2013Called twice for 1 of 5 specific tables and and told yes...request was not fulfilled!
Jessica DerschowitzFebruary 1, 2011The pretzel-crusted crabcake and the cheesecake lollipop tree were both amazing.
ellen resnickNovember 14, 2010Its comfy in the bar area noisy upstairs. The menu is trying too hard. I like but not love the place
Gossip GirlApril 23, 2010How do I know you’re passing off that H&M dress as couture? Because I was sipping an iced tea at this across-the-street café, watching you sneak out of the store.
