Such delicious food and drinks! We got brunch on a Saturday and got to sit in the lovely outdoor seating. Good service and location.

Best eggs Benedict. Fast service. We arrived at 9:15 on a Sunday fifteen minutes after opening and the place was packed ten minutes later so get there early. My husband had the steak and eggs and loved.

So , 3 stars. However , the food itself is about a 4 , drink was a 5.I docked two stars for the service.I came here last month for my birthday brunch after visiting the museum. I was alone , so when I got there , I was immediately greeted by the hostess ( who was super friendly) and sat at a table and that was certainly appreciated because they were busy outside and inside.I waited a bit and the waitress came over asking what I wanted for a drink. I ordered the Bloody Mary. It took them about 10 mins. Another waitress stopped by to check for the drink and it finally came. My food then arrived and the eggs Benedict was delicious. The roasted potatoes that came with were yummy as well.

The service & drinks were top notch. Felt right at home! I had the grits & it was pretty mediocre, nothing to phone home about. Highly recommend the beverage that contributes to abortion services, drinking for a cause!

This is a solid spot for cocktails and appetizers. A little on the pricier side for what it is, but everything we’ve ordered here on the few times we’ve been has been delicious. We’re big fans of the pâté and the fritters. Service was quite good, and it was definitely not busy on a Tuesday night, so no wait. Apparently it’s an awesome brunch spot, TBD on that one. I’d say this is nearer to a 4.5, but since we’ve been here on repeat occasions and they’re consistent they deserve a little bit of a bump.

The French toast was so wet and soggy. It was a stack of pillowy, eggy, wet cloud bread! It just dissolved into itself. Not exactly what I desire in a French toast. Everything else was OK in comparison.. BLT was soaked in aioli which typically is not a bad thing, but it was a bit too much in relation to bread/bacon/tomato/lettuce. A generous pile of arugula accompanied the sammy. The orange juice was really good though.

We were trying to go to a different brunch spot down the street, but they had a 45 minute wait. We stumbled upon this little piece of sunshine and couldn't have been happier. No wait, great outdoor seating, and the food was incredible plus reasonably priced. The biscuits and gravy were ? try them out

The ambiance and space here is amazing! The service was really good. The meal itself (Brussel sprout hash) left much to be desired. That being said, they make a mean Irish coffee.
Fantastic food, friendly staff, and located in a nice neighborhood!

I would like to let anyone who is planning to go to Sunshine to eat to strongly reconsider because there are many other phenomenal dining options on Washington Avenue. Here is the experience that my family and I had. My husband and I both grew up in Brooklyn but came back to visit from out of town. We chose Sunshine because Yelp said it was dog friendly. We opted to leave the dog home and we came out with my parents in law, sister in law, and our 8 month old baby girl. After ordering coffee and mimosas, our waiter opted to serve piping hot coffee right over the stroller where my baby was sitting. My husband was livid! As I turned to caution the waiter about how he was unsafely serving, he literally dropped his entire tray of drinks and coffee right on my baby’s stroller. Glass and ceramic cups were broken, liquid splashed all into my hair and eye, my stroller saturated with liquor and coffee and sharp shards were everywhere. The waiter knew he messed up and briefly apologized. And by brief, I mean he said “I’m sorry” and that was it. There was no acknowledgement or care that hot and alcoholic beverages were all over me, possibly the baby, or the stroller. My party was in complete disbelief but we kept our composure as we ensured that the baby wasn’t burned or injured. She was screaming and crying from the commotion. I had to wipe all that was spilled from my face and clothing. The manager and the waiter cleaned the mess from the floor. Neither of them asked if the baby or I was okay. The manager didn’t say anything to us… she didn’t even introduce herself as the manager. My stroller and cup holders were so saturated that I had to literally request a bucket to empty the liquid from, and a rag to wipe it down myself. The staff seemed completely unbothered, with a lack of empathy or apology that any human would expect to have received if ever in this situation. Because we did not want to loose the day due to time and scheduling constraints, we stayed for the meal. The food was not delicious at all. In fact it was inedible to mid, which added further insult to injury: 1)The French toast came out drowned in syrup and completely soggy. It was inedible. 2)The steak and eggs were ordered medium well and was so chewy that it went uneaten. 3)The shrimp and grits were extremely dry… it was literally 4 seasoned shrimp over a bed of grits…no gravy. 4) Huevos Rancheros was extremely bland. It did not taste like anything was seasoned in this entre. 5)BLT- Bread was toasted extra hard, bacon fried hard, boarder line burned, and overall DRY! At the end, they handed us the bill. I noticed that the drinks were not on it. I asked to speak to the manager and I informed her that it was really disgusting that such a dangerous situation occurred and that she didn’t have the decency to speak to us when the ordeal occurred. She said that she heard the waiter say sorry so she didn’t feel like it was necessary to say anything on the restaurants behalf. I informed her that as a manager, she should have said something in the moment to acknowledge us, and how bad the situation was, and how bad it could have been. My child was put in harms way twice! Let alone, I was drenched in liquid and there was no expression of care, regret, or empathy for the dangerous and embarrassing situation. She said she took the drinks off as the apology, and I let her know that it was not enough. We are more that capable of paying a bill, so her assumption that taking $30 worth of drinks off was a slap in the face. Acknowledgement would have been priceless! I spoke to her calmly and expressed my disappointment with her inaction and she dismissed us by saying “just don’t worry about it” and walked away. Paying the bill was not, or is never an issue… but clearly she did not understand the principal of it all. So I truly in my heart hope that anyone who may want to dine at Sunshine reads this and decides to pass. The lack of friendly and trained service, and the quality of food is not worth anyones time.

Visited this place for a second time and it was still great! Food was delicious, and we had a great time.

Five stars for great staff, pleasant ambiance, and cleanliness. My assessment of a restaurant is based mostly on food, so I went with a four-star review for this spot (i have to be blown away to give an overall five-star!). And since I only had one dish- the BLT with an egg- I don’t have much to go on. It was decent: good quality bacon cooked just right, good garlic aioli, crisp lettuce. The bread was pretty good, at least it wasn’t chewy, and the tomato wasn’t very flavorful, but also not bad. I did enjoy the side salad, a nice surprise. Typically places don’t seem to care about a side salad, but Sunshine’s dressing is very good- nice attention to detail there. Presentation was a little sloppy but I think that’s because it was Easter Sunday and they were super busy. I will try this spot again for sure. Overall, good energy around this place and lovely people working there which to me indicates good leadership !
