Probably one of my favorite dining experiences in the city was here. Get to know the staff and they will treat you like kings and queens.
Jenn AndrewsMarch 4, 2013
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.

Harper's Bazaar says, "One of the coziest restaurants in the city, you feel like you're hidden from the world, especially if you get a table in the back corner."

If you can't get into this brunch hotspot cross the street to Jefferson's (their sister restaurant) and grab a bloody mary while you wait for them to seat you across the street :)

The fried bacon is amazing! The brunch here is delicious and worth the wait.

Best entrée we've tasted there so far is artic char seared in brown butter, or, for lighter diners, a mushroom omelet. Read more

Wash down the egg sandwich with a Bloody Mary. Both are so good! Don't forget to add bacon and avocado to the sandwich!
Tom M.August 25, 2013
Seems you can't go wrong with any selections here, especially the avocado toast with scrambled eggs that I had

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

Steak tartar, spring onions, brussel sprouts, chicken escabeche (day special) were all amazing...very friendly staff, definitely enhanced our experience!

Still in its youth, Joseph Leonard is already essential to the neighborhood. Gabe Stulman's tiny neighborhood spot puts out a great vibe and even better food. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Amazing spot - brunch was outrageous! Bloody Caesar was perfect! Worth the wait too - this place has a great vibe and puts you in a great mood
Peter BoyceAugust 12, 2012
Easily one of the best brunches in the city. Get the egg sandwich & a side of the country fried bacon. The siracha brussels sprouts won't disappoint.

Best Bloody Mary in the city. Get a side of Brussels with whatever. Brunch fried chicken sandwich. Dinner: pork hock.

Great place for brunch. cauliflower (app) and Siracha brussel sprouts (side) are wonderful.
Alyssa B.June 7, 2022
What’s up with the avocado toast? Disappointing. I had a great dinner/drinks experience, but I think their brunch is skippable.

Get the sunchokes - they just put them on the menu & they're amazing! The chicken is perfectly cooked & the serves is top notch! Ask for Molly
JenMarieJune 28, 2013
This is now top on my NYC list! Delicious. Avocado toast, roasted cauliflower, peach panzanella salad, and interesting, fresh cocktails.
Mike ThompsonJuly 23, 2014
One of the best small dinner spots in the city. No reservations, so go at 6pm on the dot or be prepared to wait.

I would consider myself someone who knows brussels sprouts. But I have never known brussels sprouts such as these. Make sure you know them also.
CharlottesMay 24, 2015
A new favourite! The best brunch I've had for a while. Bloody Mary, egg sandwich with the lot and fried bacon side. Absolutely delicious, thanks Joseph!
Vee BeeSeptember 11, 2013
Great neighborhood gem. There's no AC though, so on a hot humid day it's no cool haven. Fabulous food and friendly employees.

Bloody Caesar and Michelada are amazing. Staff is the coolest. If you like salmon, get the Benedict.
Eloise EatonJune 29, 2017
Very friendly place. Toast over cooked. Soft boiled eggs overdone but after sent back they were perfect. Poached eggs were very good too.
KateMarch 23, 2014

Place is a bit small, wait time is long, BUT it's worth it.. The food was great, their french toast was delicious.

Where to begin? Everything I've had here is amazing but the artic char remains clearly in my mind/taste buds
Sumeet ShahNovember 23, 2017
Makers of arguably the best Bloody Mary you'll ever have. Get the Bloody Caesar.

If you can, sit at the "Chef Counter" and be right next to the action
Ben K.November 25, 2012
Fantastic brunch, the Shrimp & Grits and Croque Mademoiselle are great. The Sriracha Brussels Sprouts are a must!

The fried chicken over sauteed brussels sprouts and potato puree is killer! Chicken is crispy/savory outside, tender inside and its topped with a tangy balsamic/mustard gravy...
İclal KireçNovember 14, 2017
I really loved that cozy place. Food were amazing.
MoRizaDecember 20, 2012
Try the Cubanos Sandwich - Toasted bread, yeah that is the secret. Love this place, specially sitting by the windows.
Lili BazAugust 24, 2019
Good service , good food, good beer selection! Recommend the chicken sandwich
Baby VMay 6, 2013
The chefs table is the best seat in the house. Request the table and you will have a very unique dinning experience.
Michelle KramerFebruary 16, 2012
Best meal I've had in a while. Order the rock shrimp app, escargot toast, steak, scallops, and stuffing. And the service is amazing.
Carlie LawrenceNovember 10, 2013
Mmmmmm absolutely divinely delicious. Pumpkin and cauliflower appetizers are stand-out. Great celeb spotting too.
Pat McGowanJuly 24, 2014
Special margaritas, the gnocchi, the chicken, no rez so arrive @6:45 for perfect timing for 2
Tracy KimMay 26, 2010
Hash brown, pork, and escarole with sriracha-- and the only thing you'll regret is that you'll need to double your workout tmrw to work it off. But it'll be worth it and you'll be happy you did.
