As far as Upper East side diners go, this is among the best. Dinners options are good and if you tell them how to make your omelet - they do it. It's a diner, but it's become my go to UES breakfast.
Kelsey✨April 2, 2017The frittata brunch special is big and tasty. Comes with coffee/tea, fruit, potatoes, AND bread pudding. Definitely big enough to split.
Lisa FinnOctober 21, 2014Best diner in the UES. Good portions for a good price- and the food is never greasy. However, I suggest ordering online instead of calling in to ensure a correct order on take out.
Andre MarsdenDecember 20, 2014Nice and cozy. Great for meeting friends before or after a night out. Even good for large groups.
Get the Santa Fe salad with BBQ chicken. Or Greek Salad if you're veggie. Everything here is awesome and fresh and the staff are the friendliest in NYC.
Best quality of diner food on the UES. Best brunch, lunch, dinner, breakfast, snacks, desserts, WHATEVA
Corey WallApril 12, 2012Hectic Sunday brunch: waiting for a table, 27 kids screaming & waiters running into me ended up with a pretty good, affordable meal. Just avoid busy times & calm expectations (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Brooks WoodOctober 10, 2010Brunch menu is pretty dope. $11-14 for a big breakfast, coffee or juice, bloody Mary or mimosa, and dessert... Try shaking a stick at that.
Allison GarrityMarch 23, 2012The food is great! But be sure to tell your server you want to split your tab! Legit got into an argument because my server wouldn't take two cards for one bill.
Three eggs for breakfast is a great deal for your money! 😃
Open all night! Take your friends here after surveying the mediocre bars in the area.
KAMJuly 21, 2011Nice diner with pretty decent food and service. Their Irish breakfast is huge and has authentic sausages and English bacon...yummmm!
Lately my favorite is California chipotle burger. It's spicy California burger with guacamole.

David BarraganApril 1, 2012Steve m is stupid, this place is great and I only go to this diner in all of new York city!
Ruzzie and Victor are awesome! They're the best reason to come at night.
Used to be my go-to diner for weekend eggs and coffee, but I can't say I have plans of going back after continuously finding hair in my food during recent visits...the place has gotten really dirty!
They should start some kind of membership rewards card here
Best weekday breakfast special in the city! Less than $10 for a full breakfast w/coffee+juice.
Vanessa WanderlinghApril 25, 2010Everything here is fantastic! I have Celiac disease and don't get sick when I order here!
Greatest diner on the upper east side! Nothing on the menu is bad... Order anything!- If you want good service, like more coffee or waiting less than 10 minutes for the waiter to first arrive, this is not the place for you.
Sean GallagherAugust 15, 2011Worst food and service I have had in NYC... and I am a Chef and have been everywhere. Will never go back. :/
