    This is the best brunch in the city. Breakfast sandwich with sriracha Brussels sprouts, avocado toast with poached eggs, and country fried bacon with honey and Tabasco. Don't overlook the Bloody Mary.

    Avocado toast, brussels sprout, and egg sandwich! Loved the hired non-alcoholic cocktail too. But the most amazing part was the SERVICE. Thank you for the amazing brunch experience

    Bloody Mary lover?Make sure to taste booth their Bloody Mary and the Bloody Caesar. The later has more worcestershire sauce and comes with brussel sprouts wrapped in bacon!

    Grilled Brook Trout with toasted almonds and asparagus sautéed in brown butter and grilled lemon wedge $28. Side of roasted Brussels sprouts are finely shaved with sriracha $9. Sit at bar.

    The staff are extraordinary and friendly, and the food actually is better than what one has come to expect for "brunch." Small, always busy, but worth it. Try to go off hours... Brunch served until 4.

    A cozy spot in the heart of the West Village. A beautiful corner restaurant. By day it’s a popular brunch spot to relax and people watch, by night, it’s good for a dimly lit dinner or just a drink.

    The menu options include an egg sandwich with manchego on a croissant; a smoked salmon tartine with eggs and caper cream cheese; and a crowd-pleasing avocado toast with eggs. Read more

    I was perfectly happy with my steak until I took a bite of my girlfriend's Pork Hock and was swept with an overwhelming wave of food regrets. Luckily I had the Sriracha Brussel Sprouts to comfort me

    Coming back here for the cocktails. And the banoffee pie was a good ending to all! The burger was trendy (in an english muffin) but executed well. Very friendly staff.

    If you're here for dinner, caramelized cauliflower and steak tartare are awesome appetizers. The roasted chicken is a delicious main. The service is exceptional, trust your waiter's recommendations.

    One of my fave din spots! Super fun ambiance with a good crowd. I love that the place is chill yet good food! Get the sriracha brussel sprouts for a side and salted caramel pudding (incredible)!

    Cozy, good food. Serve Stumptown coffee which is a bonus. Try their hashbrowns, they're really thin strands which gets both crispy on the outside and kinda fluffy on the inside. Super good and unique.

    Happening brunch spot with great vibes and really nice waiters and host. The avo toast is less exciting than I expected but I would still come back everyday. Expect to wait.

    Dine like an 1849er. This incredibly small place makes some of the most incredible food. The egg sandwich is out of the world n so is the benedict. The french press coffee is absolutely amazing.

    The Greens and Eggs 🍳- filling and spicy 🌶. I'd pass on the country fried bacon unless you're with at least three other people who also love bacon 🥓

    The artichokes and the hanger steak are to die for but everything is is rather meh. This includes the Brussels sprouts everyone raves about, the eggplant which is over cooked mush, + the fritto misto

    Lamb neck confit is amazing - melts in your mouth. Ribs special and pork hock are also fantastic. Not as crazy about the veggie sides, but they do some amazing things with meat!

    Super delicious food (fairytale eggplant & confit tomato are excellent appetizers) & an epic cocktail list that does a great spin on classic cocktails!

    Hip-hop brunch beats. The Bloody Caesar (with bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts and an oyster) is the only way to start things off.

    Brunch menu is so damn good. I had the avocado toast breakfast w/cheddar grits & not one but two TuK TuK's. I drank it all plus the beautiful edible flower. Try the country fried bacon Life changing.

    Perfect spot for a lazy brunch. Best challah French toast ever. Great mocktails for the non-boozers as well!

    The garlic and pork sausage comes with five big slices. It's worth getting on the side of any order, even if you don't eat it all.

    This is our home away from home! We can’t get enough of the Caramelized Cauliflower or the Crispy Braised Pork Hock. And we always wash it down with at least one Magdalena!

    No reservations but just fantastic food and tiny adorable date spot, great ambiance and great service. They have a chef's pass table for 2 that's awesome if you can snag that seat. $$$

    One of my favorite places to brunch-the entire menu is top notch, & there's rarely a long wait. Get the Magdalena to drink-& head across the street to the puppy store for post-brunch cuteness!

    I must have been here on an off time. Nothing I got was very good - the Bloody Mary or the sausage/egg/hash brown dish. Everything was way over-cooked - and I like crispy hash browns!

    There's a bang-up brandade, decorated with pepper marmalade, and a perfect frisee salad with lardons and egg, deconstructed but still unmistakably French. Read more

    southern style brunch. try the egg sammie, the hash brown nest, and the country style bacon (it's double fried and drizzled in honey and tabasco). your heart may stop but you'll be happy.

    8/10. The lamb neck was amazingly tender. I normally hate Brussels sprouts but if my mum had made them like this I would have eaten them everyday. Service was fun.

    Vegetable dishes rock. Try the pumpkin, cauliflower, Mac and cheese. Special fish and fritters were great too. Ask for a table in the back if possible.

    Coffee was way overpriced ($5 for a basic cup), but food was great. Get seats in the back overlooking the kitchen where you can choose your entree based on what looks best. Burger was delicious.

    Must. Absolutely must get the butter lettuce salad with chicken, radish, goat cheese, and toasted almonds. Avocado toast (with chili flakes) is also a winner.

    chicken sandwich is delicious, lunch appears to be not as good as breakfast. Definitely get here earlier for breakfast.
