I just had to write a review. This place BLEW OUR MINDS. Service and flavor 10/10. Let’s start with the service; phenomenal; Sonia took care of us and was very kind. Now the food/flavor INCREDIBLE.
We ordered PORK CARNITAS BENEDICT & FRENCH TOAST COMBO. 😮‍💨😮‍💨❤️‍🔥
I can’t begin to explain how good those French toast were ; Benedict’s KILLED IT delicious .
Will definitely be coming back

Delivery driver took terrible care of the food and silently left it in a mess with a broken bag and food everywhere.

The food itself after cleaned up was pretty terrible. Chicken parm in vodka sauce was served with some rubbery noodles, the breading falling off and dry chicken. The second dish's pasta tasted gummy.

I can't speak for in the restaurant itself as this was delivery, but some of the worst food I have had delivered in years. Wouldn't recommend.

We wanted to stay close to our Apt. after walking all over NYC all day! Found the Franklin less than an 8 min walk away, cold and rainy, we just wanted something warm and comforting! To start with the soups ( Chicken noodle, and a Lentil soup) were amazing. I won’t lie and say I wasn’t disappointed that there was no French Onion available that night! 5 of us all got different entree’s from short rib ravioli to seared scallops, chicken parmigiana and Grilled hanger steak(cooked perfectly), but wait, you must save some room for deserts! When in town, we’ll be back. FYI, it is a byob establishment.

Usually great. Crab cake had no meat. Did not offer any recompense. $17 + tax for breadcrumbs.

I am sick ever since I dined here. Have not been able to get up and puked around 9-10 times since.
Maybe the chicken in the wrap was stale or undercooked or both

Came here for birthday brunch. Everything was mid to meh. Donuts were good but chicken nugget from kids menu was gross like Macdonalds. You child tell it was frozen. And fries were nasty too. Hueavo ranchero had no sauce. Literally fired tortillas with eggs over and two three slice of avocado. Home fries were tasteful but oily as hell. Wanted to try local. Not coming back anytime soon. Staff were ok

I ordered the beef bolognese with gnocchi and honestly, it was really disappointing. The sauce tasted bland and watery. For the price, I expected something way better. Definitely not worth it, and I won’t be ordering it again.

We came on a weekday for breakfast. We got the braised rib breakfast burrito and the chilaquiles verdes. The chilaquiles alone were enough to make us go a second time during our trip.

The only downside was the service. The first time we went, we were the only people there and the server was sitting down on his phone the whole time. He never really came to check up on us. The second time we went it was on a Saturday so it was a lot busier.

Excellent value! The grilled octopus and the burger are stand-outs, and those donuts had me wanting more days later.

Just remember that it's BYOB.
