Awesome brunch - unlimited drinks and great food! All first timers should get the lobster mac n cheese for the table. My fav is lobster benedict. Make sure you get the bread...delicious!
Devin P-BAugust 10, 2014Great brunch spot for bottomless dranks. Get the Mac n Cheese or the French toast!
Aubrey ArcangelJune 2, 2013I'm going to go against the crowd here, but the lobster Mac and cheese is a bit soupy. Good flavor though and lobster Benedict is a pleaser.
Sabina B.March 22, 2014Great first stop on an epic date night. Food, dranks, music, & ambiance are all perfecto.
Chris GApril 14, 2013Ok, if you don't come here for brunch, you are an idiot who needs to move to one of the big square states in the middle and spend life making quilts for fat ladies with helmet hairdos.
They have the best weekly and happy hour specials! Wednesday is $15 bottles of wine with dinner and $5 tapas till 8 daily
Simone M.February 17, 2013If you're here for the boozy brunch definitely do the French toast omg! So yum you won't even want syrup!
Justin LukJune 15, 2010The crispy pork belly will take you half way to heaven. The lobster mac & cheese will finish the job. Ask the fun bartenders for recommendations and try something a little weird. It'll be great.
Drew CaseNovember 30, 2013Try to find it on Groupon for the best deals. Well worth it. Lobster Mac is to die for!- Nicolette RomeroNovember 2, 2014Rowdy brunch spot. Come to get boozy and don't forget to order the lobster mac!
MeOn CheeseMarch 6, 2012$4 Beers, $12 Pitchers of Stella, Signature Green St Patricks Day Sangria by the glass or by the pitcher, Corned Beef Empanadas
Seth HoskoJune 27, 2013blah blah blah... The truffle and spinach Mac is ri-diculous. But go ahead and keep eating your lobster Mac :)
Sangria is delicious! Also loved the chicken pallea croquettes and skirt steak!
Yera HaMarch 9, 2015Bottomless brunch for $28 a person. The food is pretty decent and the drinks are STRONG.
Michelle AuMarch 30, 2014The lobster Mac n cheese during brunch seems to have a lot less lobster than when we went for dinner. =/
josh zweigMarch 1, 2010Awesome brunch deal. $22 all you can drink and a main dish. Portions are small but really good. I didn't like the salmon florentine - to fishy. Bloody Maries are excellent.
Drinks on the pricier side for the East Village. Sort of a frat party on the weekends during brunch. Think "Murray hill invades alphabet city". Great people watching!
Matt DohertyJune 19, 2011Pretty much everything has been said about this place. Just come ready to party on Sunday with a good group of people and get real.
Jennifer LogueFebruary 25, 2012their sangria is INCREDIBLE. as is the duck with cauliflower puree. check out this "Best in the City" segment for video :-) Read more
Zach MaierFebruary 20, 2012All you can drink bloody marys with Saturday or Sunday brunch! Spicy and strong, highly recommended.
Jennifer BAugust 13, 2010Lobster Mac by far the best! Chorizo Mac not as good, too dry. Good food and atmosphere all around. Thursday $15 bottle of wines is a keeper!!- Devin P-BDecember 17, 2011I could tell you that the Lobster Mac n Cheese is to die for but you already know. So stop debating and ORDER THAT SHIT!
CarolineSeptember 7, 2015If you want good quality food and drink don't come here. If you're looking to get drunk on cheap pre-made drinks, understandable. You get what you pay for, and the lobster mac n cheese is overhyped.
Curtis KellyAugust 19, 2012You need to try the truffled mushroom omelette. You will go into a food coma!
LizSeptember 25, 2011Fantastic weekend brunch-all you can drink and an entree for less than $30. Go on a Sat to beat the crowds
AbbyDecember 1, 2014Came for brunch-- be sure to make reservations and note that it is CASH ONLY. Food is mediocre. As far as AYCD, stick with the sangrias and mimosas. Came with a party of 6 and we weren't impressed.
Thomas WoodDecember 7, 2013Brunch: Entrée plus 1.5 hour bottomless mimosas, bloody Mary's or sangrias for $26.95
Amazing brunch atmosphere inside but the service is "poco" to none outdoors..
MeganAugust 24, 2013Food was fantastic, server was super nice. BUT our unlimited brunch cups were often empty and the second we reached 90 mins, a manager came over and told us we had to leave immediately. No warning.
Elizabeth ConeApril 8, 2012Great dishes: grilled octopus, brussels sprouts; great drink: blood orange mango mojito.
Henry DannerOctober 2, 2011Had the veggie omlette @ Brunch. Taste Wasn't worth $25 bucks but the AYCD, friendly staff, and atmosphere made the experience worthwhile!
Reece ParkerJanuary 13, 2013Delicious Lobster Mac & Cheese! Also first time check ins get a free Sangria!! :)
Greg DoughertyJune 30, 2014Saved by the Bell trivia was really hard here. Like "what are the names of screech's nerdy friends" hard. I disappointed myself.
Shakeera DatwaniOctober 29, 2012The chorizo and egg sandwich is great! Our server Cody was also hilarious!!
StephJune 25, 2012free glass of sangria with your first check in! $15 bottle of wine with dinner on Thursdays
Alyssa VansickelFebruary 24, 2015The food is okay nothing special. But the atmosphere and unlimited drinks at brunch are worth the wait. Its loud though, so not a relaxing brunch.
