MélinaAugust 8, 2013Cozy space with quick service. Always busy but worth the wait. The smoked salmon/cream cheese scrambled eggs were the definition of perfection, and iced Belgian chocolate was to die for! Cash only.
Roxanna FloresJanuary 25, 2014Ver y small and intimate space hence the name. Mushroom cigars, tuna tar tar and pierogi apps were very good. Entrees were large and also very good. Apple pie a la mode is a must so save space.
Lee HoffmanSeptember 29, 2012Wow, food is phenomenal. Tuscan chicken and poached pear salad are unbelievable. Three heads ups: its cash only, byob and make sure to make a reservation or you won't get a table.
Sean RobertsonAugust 10, 2013Very good and cheap. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own wine or beer. We had the egg scramble and made our own mimosas with their fresh squeezed orange juice. $50 total inc champaign.
Pam LairdApril 11, 2015Spicy sausage scramble with mashed potatoes and red onions and greens greens dressed with a touch of sweetness. Intimate, personal spot.
John AJuly 25, 2015Small location with handful of tables with some good Polish food. Recommend: potato pancakes with tomatoes and sausage, cheese & potato pierogis. Cash only.
Jack PatersonSeptember 29, 2013Great food although the wait was longer than they said. And service pretty slow. And no earl gray tea despite it being on the menu. Still, delicious fries and excellent croque Monsieur.
Aliya BJanuary 20, 2013Try the vegetable quiche. It's badass, even for a meat lover like me. The Eggs Florentine with Ham is amazing too. Really tiny place though, not good for more than 4.- H IOctober 15, 2012Potato pancakes with sour cream and smoked salmon + capers was really really good. Huge portions, too. Might wanna consider splitting with someone. They only take cash!
New York HabitatNovember 18, 2011The name is fitting because this place is small but we just love it. Best part? BYOB. Get the tuscan chicken with the amazing rosemary fries and chow down!
Nicholas RDecember 8, 2012Tiny nook of a place. Make a reservation!! And then enjoy some of the best food in Hell's Kitchen. And don't forget to BYOB.
This is the best weekend brunch spot in Hells Kitchen. There's a small line brewing around noon, so come early, or come late and order any of their egg scrambles - they're straight baller.
Jennifer BarbosaDecember 27, 2012Reminds me of Prague. The menu is small but the dishes are top notch. Try the tuna tartare.
Kira RoytburgNovember 14, 2012Mushroom rolls are really good. Desserts and espresso drinks are amazing as well. Try to leave some room for that desert. BYOB.
Catherine ParkJuly 11, 2015Super tiny (hence the name); come right when they open to beat the lines. Eggs florentine is amazing
n gDecember 30, 2012The nook scrambler for brunch is fantastic and worth the wait. They don't keep a waiting list so monitor your position to prevent queue jumpers!
william ringJuly 5, 2013One of the best meals I've had in New York. The owners are hands on and make it the place what it is!
Kristin S.March 26, 2013Small little gem. BYOB and cash only. Tuscan chicken and sashimi avocado salad are both delightful choices
Alissa PeckSeptember 22, 2012Order the tuna tartare terrine with avocado glaze. Suggest no stilettos as walking through the active kitchen required to use the washroom / WC. BYO.
Monica ThomsonAugust 6, 2013Amazing that it's BYO. Def get the mushroom cigars! The salmon and tuna entrees are also deeeelish!!
Fanny ChanFebruary 15, 2014Amazing red onion mashed potatoes with most entrees. Definitely get one of the egg scrambles.
EmmaJanuary 5, 2013Best brunch spot in all of NYC. BYOB and the total for 3 people was $31. You can't beat it.
Elizabeth MitchellMarch 17, 2012Amazing tiny brunch spot. Perfect start to the day. Eggs Benedict and latte before the st. Patrick's day parade.
Teeny tiny. Salmon from same spot as the Waldorf from what I hear. Sure tastes good enough. Best I've had in NY.
Brent McCaslinDecember 19, 2010Tight space, and a limited menu selection. but if you make Nook your choice, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to try!! FANTASTIC!!
Viveka von RosenNovember 12, 2011Sooo good. Very small but the food and service was excellent (if hurried). Don't miss Nook in NYC
Teresa WFebruary 9, 2012byob with no corkage fee but note that it's cash only. everything's tasty, but be sure to order the mushroom cigars.
Amber SchreinerOctober 11, 2013Zagat rated it a 23, I would rate it a 19. Preparation and atmosphere was sub par but the service was excellent. Vegetarian options were too limited to make this a repeat but I don't regret it either
Amy B.January 26, 2013The filet is fantastic! Huge portions and only $25!!! Will definitely be back!!!
JessicaFebruary 20, 2010BYO with zero corkage fee!Amazing teeny-tiny restaurant...make a reservation a little ahead of time to make sure you can squeeze in. Trust them to whip up a proper rare steak. :)
Erin GalvinSeptember 21, 2010very tiny spot but the food is delicious. The mushroom cigars are an amazing appetizer, the salmon is a great entrée
Abby MOctober 20, 2011Tomato soup -- need recipe! Great lunch special w/half sandwich, soup and salad or rosemary fries.
Chelsea BalkanMarch 3, 2012The mushrooms are amazing. Also enjoyed the rack of lamb but only comes with 3 pieces
WinnieJanuary 13, 2015Eggs Benedict was okay. Service was fast. Restaurant is very small. If there's no space, you can't wait inside the restaurant.
Jenny PiersonJune 9, 2013Delicous quiche. And I left my jacket there and they had it for me. Thanks, Ramon!
Kim KMarch 24, 2013BYOB but you have to spend $15 per person. Unfortunately, none of the brunch items are more than $12 so it makes it a bit difficult....
Incredible brunch and dinner here. Can't recommend the scrambles here enough.
Gabbie ChamorroJuly 5, 2011The tuna sashimi is awesome and healthy. My bf got the kebab, also delicious.
Jamie FMarch 29, 2014Weirdest seating policy for brunch. They more or less make up wait times and give tables to people they want to.
