    Delicious food for brunch and dinner. If you go for dinner, get their truffled mushroom toast. You will NOT regret it. Bangers and mash were yummy for brunch!

    Had a delicious and quiet dinner at Flat Top. The service was very attentive. I recommend the Bahn Mi sandwich on its own. It’s very filling.

    Fantastic brunch with delicious cocktails. Try the Michelada - Bloody Mary enough for me :). Great lobster roll with Sriracha on the side. Shrimp and grits, eggs hollandaise, and classic granola.

    The coffee is from Blue Bottle, which is great! Try the shrimp ceviche and you'll have a memorable evening! But be careful: only craft beers in the menu.

    Great brunch spot. Cute place with good food and coffee. Can get very crowded, but it's still a nice vibe, although a little tight with neighboring tables.

    Cute and cozy cafe and New American food spot right by Columbia University. Recommend the bibimbap!

    A much more relaxed ambience than Joe to enjoy a coffee and pastry. Great decor, fantastic pastries, and ok coffee; I figure they're still learning the machine.

    During lunch, try the American foods like the burger or the tuna melt. The banh mi and bibimbap are Americanized versions so the construction is different than you'd expect.

    It's all about the PB&J sundae! The chicken with brussel sprouts was amazing too!

    The lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious and they serve Blue Bottle Coffee for a nice Best Coast twist.

    Had to wade through hollandaise to get to my salmon Eggs Benedict. A little much. Great coffee though!

    Let's just say that shrimp and grits were a bad idea -- not because of the grits.

    French inspired food seriously lacks inspiration. Execution is average. Prices are high.

    I really wanted to like this place since it's so close to school, but the service here is horrendously slow.
