Natalie VJuly 11, 2016Charming atmosphere and good food. A little pricey, but portions are generous. Definitely start with the artichoke dip!
Zack KinslowMarch 17, 2016Awesome place for a special date. Try the devils on horseback to start. Filet mignon is also great.- wisdom ebukaSeptember 20, 2016It a Great Spot, Drinks Is on Point, And The Food Is Great, It a Nice place For Romance and Great Sex too.
Cole KennedyMarch 9, 2017Even if the food wasn't good, it'd still be worth it for the cozy vibe. Luckily, the food is delightful, the drinks eclectic, and the staff friendly.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Hidden NYC gem. Awesome speakeasy type of location on the edge of SoHo. Great option for brunch, too.
SparkieJanuary 16, 2013Tucked away at the end of Freemans Alley behind the club The Box. The interior has a very rustic feel with low candles and the walls encased with bookshelves.
Jon PressmanSeptember 23, 2019Beautiful decor; great food; amazing cocktails. Try cocktail bar upstairs for a real treat
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 22, 2011Walk down Freeman’s Alley and settle in for a fantastic brunch. We’d go with the Roast Pork Sandwich, The Raised Waffle or the Freemans Piedmontese Cheeseburger.
Jordan MancusoFebruary 20, 2017"The Daddy" is so freakin tasty and nice to sip on. Pair it with the cheese plate and you've done it right.
Gail HSeptember 12, 2012Artichoke dip is a MUST ORDER. So different and yummy. Also, arctic char was a fabulous entree! Great atmosphere all around at this place!
Alison Byrne FieldsApril 23, 2017Unremarkable brunch, but the poached eggs with cheese grits and asparagus is yummy, as are the cocktails.
Jay SantiagoFebruary 25, 2023Get the French toast. It’s amazing. Very filling. The syrup was perfect as well.
Michael MuseSeptember 10, 2014Coolest ambiance, great for groups - they have a killer private room. Don't miss the Devils on Horseback.
Adrienne SMarch 23, 2012It's all about the artichoke dip!!! Sooo good. Also solid brunch dishes cocktails and dinner. Kind of hipster but worth it. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Laura ChinMarch 13, 2013Sit upstairs for a sunny seat. Also, artichoke dip is a must for every table.
Artichoke Dip is pretty killer, as is the egg, cheese, and bacon skillet. Take a look at the brunch cocktail menu, too—you can't go wrong with any of it.
Lau BonoraDecember 31, 2014Great ambient and location! Perfect to drink on the bar or have some dinner. Vintage deco, good attention !
Get a lattè with your granola to start. Both very good. Then take one Skillet eggs & add a Freeman's Cocktail: rye, lemon juice, pomegranate & bitters.
BenFebruary 9, 2015Great date spot or for special occasions. Perfectly cooked American food, good selection of cocktails and wines.
The epic artichoke dip came from the old Loring Cafe in Minneapolis, and believe me, it was worth bringing it across the country. Go for that, any entree, and the Freeman's Cocktail.
Paul GallagherNovember 2, 2016I only had their namesake cocktail, which was delicious. I'll be back to try the food and for great service.
Jane DongAugust 11, 2014So cute. Love the artichoke dip - service is also super friendly and attentive.
Humberto BastosNovember 7, 2019Good for dates! Very cozy with friendly staff. We got there at 10:30pm and had a great time.
RobynJanuary 23, 2014You may not think to order the grilled cheese at brunch, but it's one of the best I've ever had! And it comes with homemade chips.- This place tucked down an amazing alley (there are alleys in Manhattan?) straight up rules. Order a a Freeman's Cocktail, the artichoke dip, and a steak, you can't beat that.
Igor LevitNovember 26, 2014Incredibly unique location, funky decor and excellent food. Loved this place.
Come for cocktails, creative and knowledgeable bartenders. Can't go wrong with the Freeman's Cocktail.
Katie SchlossJuly 27, 2012At this tucked away, gem of a restaurant, you must order the artichoke dip, deviled eggs on horseback, and the mac & cheese! #YouAreWelcome- Kevin VOctober 31, 2016Love love the artichoke dip. Solid and consistent restaurant. Able to cycle thru the seasons without a hiccup.
Catalina LaverdeOctober 4, 2014For appetizers order the Artichoke and The Devils on Horseback. Those two are the best ones of the house!
Leanne ZDecember 17, 2015Biscuits! Slightly cramped for a table of too but super cute decor and location.
Kathryn FleegelNovember 14, 2010If youre having brunch, get the seasonal fall hash- potatoes, squash, and roasted Brussels sprouts- with fried eggs! Delicious. Don't forget a side of French bread toast, it's not included
Amanda AvneryJanuary 10, 2017Cute as hell. Oh and so is my girl syd :) omelette was delicious. Great vibes.- Roman TemkinFebruary 12, 2016Always love poached eggs, especially here. The service is very good and the waitstaff are very friendly.
