Choose salmon with your omelette and sit by the window for some people watching.
Beth McMahonDecember 26, 2015It was expensive and not worth it. Close to Grand Central but convince is the only plus.
Garick GiroirOctober 30, 2011Be ready to order within 2mins of sitting down. They don't fool around here.
call for resevations to get a booth along the windows - breakfast can be a mad house
Darcy FrisinaAugust 12, 2012Worst service ever. Stingy with coffee. Took an hour and a half to get breakfast from the kitchen. They were stingy with coffee and made no effort to correct an order they screwed up miserably.
Marc TerenDecember 9, 2011Watch out for the ice tea refills. They charge you full price on the 2nd on.
Beau GaudronMarch 3, 2014Not the most attentive wait staff kitchen hands were paying more attention than waiters. High prices, mediocre quality food.
The lox here is weird--it has an unpleasant sort of day-old sheen to it and tastes too smoky.
Kevin McKennaJuly 16, 2013Service is self service lots of people standing doing nothing... Host Barbie dolls standing not helping at all
Laurie HansenJune 11, 2013We got poor service. For the price paid food wasn't anything to take note of. I am unlikely to return here.
Jaspreet BakshiMarch 28, 2010Pretty limited menu... No chocolate chip pancakes and just a couple of egg styles.- Romil SharmaMarch 28, 2010Seems like a lot of available tables but they're making us wait at the bar. Barkeeper ignoring us.
Paul ChoApril 10, 2012If you have Melissa as your waitress, tell them to change her unless you like cold coffee and terrible service.
