Jennifer OngJune 9, 2013Ditch the pancakes and go for the oyster omelette. You won't regret it! Also, go after 230 pm to avoid the line
Try the spicy chickpeas with crumbed eggs. Delicious, and one if the most interesting things on the menu.
Lucia OrlandiJanuary 7, 2015Amazing food, I'll come back to give it another try. But maybe avoid a group of 3, they placed us on the tiniest table for 2 and it was annoyingly cramped.
Of a KindJuly 7, 2011This restaurant comes highly recommended, both by us (have the lamb!) and by Mandy Coon, who loves their bloody mary and the bone marrow. Read more of Mandy's New York recommendations at ofakind.com.
Nicole FormicaMarch 2, 2018Amazing selection of bloody Mary’s. Eggs benny comes with potatoes rossi = A+
Willem Van LanckerAugust 24, 2015Tiny brunch restaurant with great omelettes and a (very) creative Bloody Mary menu.
Mascarpone Ice Cream with salted caramel brioche croutons. Just the right balance of sweet and salty.
- Duck Breast with soupy green rice and peas. Crispy fatty skin and cooked just right.
amanda berkowitzJune 28, 2019Bacon and marmalade sandwich on the Food Network’s Best Thing I Ever Ate, Although their German pancakes are famous to me.
Katie HollenbachApril 7, 2017Best bloodys! And my new favorite thing to order is the oyster omelette - the remoulade sauce is amazing.
Navneet AlangAugust 12, 2016You can't go wrong with any appetiser here that includes blue cheese. I know that sounds dumb but trust me.
Chelsea RenaudAugust 30, 2015Great for brunch but a hit at dinner, too. Spaghetti carbonara; black rice with duck; blistered squid; whole grilled fish.
Polina WeitzOctober 30, 2017Good brunch dishes, and an elaborate Bloody Mary menu. They don't take reservations for brunch, so be preparedto wait...
FantabuousMay 8, 2011Expect to wait a while if you don't have a reservation on Sundays. Had the pancake w/ pear toppings on it. Absolutely mouth-watering and gargantuan! Crisp on the outside layer which is a plus!
Julie WaldMay 22, 2012Insane wait time for weekend brunch, so go next door for a drink while you wait. When you finally get in, order a bloody Mary and the huevos rancheros!
Angelina ZeppieriSeptember 24, 2015very creative and tasty American food. super small, makes reservations hard to get. worth the wait.
CharlottesOctober 15, 2016Possibly the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. Brekkie not to shabby either!
Everything is fantastic at this cozy spot - order a Ghost of Mary and get to ordering every dish on the menu
Fabiano CouraOctober 11, 2014Great brunch! Awesome classic Benedict. Get before 9h45 to get a table.
richard singhOctober 27, 2010Mediterranean sea bass was good. Small place. Good service and food. One hiccup, reservations trump walk-ins, as in they'll make you feel as if your imposing DURING a meal when a reservation comes in.
J StandeferAugust 25, 2015Chanterelles on toast, special burger, beef ribs -- all SO good. End it with the sweet peach desert.
Shrutika SachdevJuly 21, 2012Worth the wait! The Dutch Pancakes are a MUST! Oyster omelette and huevos rancheros are good too. Steak and eggs a bit too oily...
Jonathan TroutmanAugust 7, 2012Their play on the lobster roll is fun and inventive, but the mussels are where it's really at. Reasonable corkage for the wine geeks out there.
Maya 🐟August 16, 2014You want a Monte Cristo sandwich and a bloody bullshot. Olives cost extra and are unnecessary.
Hannah YangJune 15, 2010fried oyster omelette w/remoulade (hot) sauce n a sprinkle of powdered sugar. SO DELICIOUS, albeit a bit on the small side. along w/possibly the best (meaty!) bloody mary in the city - worth the wait!
Gregory FisherMay 13, 2019Duck and veal are great; chicken and fish are meh. All vegetable dishes are great!
Serena WDecember 17, 2012Regretted getting the "Eggs En Cocotte" brunch item. Consisted of a small ramiken filled with a few chunks of chicken and a poached egg. They compensated the small dish with 4 pieces of toast. SKIP.
amNewYorkOctober 24, 2011Few restaurants in this town do this quintessential brunch cocktail better than Prune. Bloody Mary newbies should start with either a classic or the Chicago match.
Colin BrittonSeptember 30, 2016Great seasonal menu. Amazing burnt orange brulé. Fried oysters. Whole fish.
Chris CarellaJuly 7, 2012This is an awesome place to grab breakfast or brunch. Get there 20 minutes before they open to avoid a 30-60 minute wait.
Don't discount the wait, in the winter especially, it's cold. Dress up warm and go get the coffee at blue bottle
Chris KonecnyFebruary 17, 2018"Quaint and romantic. Excellent hand crafted cocktails. In season foods" - JC
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010Brunch is the highlight for this East Village classic, but don't expect an omelet - robust dishes like grilled merguez with oysters and nine kinds of Bloody Marys are de rigueur here!
Denis SosnovtsevFebruary 18, 2015Aggressively average brunch food for New York. At my table, the steak and eggs turned out to be the best choice by far.
Benjamin PalmerSeptember 12, 2013This is one of the best places to eat in nyc. Get whatever sounds fun it's always great
Angie LeeAugust 6, 2013The fried oyster omelette is amazing. It is even better when paired with a Bloody Mary!
Diego RufoApril 4, 2011"Serious" food that doesn't take itself too seriously is exactly what you'll find at Prune. Indulge in their famous brunch, or dinner - the duck is amazing! Read more
pinsuda sagooleimJune 1, 2012E - I go here for the bloody mary's more than the food. They're unique and awesome. Worth a try. #bruncheducation- Elle F.October 10, 2016Try the Monte Cristo with Red Currant Jelly, and the Oyster Omelette with Remoulade.
Erin Schulte CollierNovember 23, 2014This is the platonic ideal of a restaurant. Hard to recommend just one thing..it undersells and over delivers in every way

Sebastian Mawira - 8.0
"Beautiful and intriguing building! Start on the top floor with nice views over Soho. But more important get inspired by the contemporary art placed in the huge rooms with crazy high ceilings."
