Visited because of the long standing hype. That said it was a decent meal. I ordered the chicken schnitzel and enjoyed the cucumber salad portion of the dish the most.

Super good! Shakshuka is nice and their lattes are sooo good. No need to stop by a coffee shop before hand

Mediocre food - worse than a hotel breakfast buffet. The rosewater waffles had no rosewater and no maple syrup. The side salad was literally dry arugula topped with pickled onions. No dressing or even oil or salt. When I specially asking for any dressing, they offered to bring me a vinaigrette, and then they brought me a mayo dressing. A charming setting but the food experience at brunch was just strange all around.

We had a work dinner here (casual) from a recommendation to a colleague. I would call it a brasserie but I'm a Brit, so I think slightly differently to my US colleagues. Light and airy venue. Comfortable and amazingly friendly. Great recommendations from our server. Their seasonal recommendation of fresh water melon juice was spot on! Really good.

Honestly not worth the hype
Plenty of better restaurants in NYC
Food is average and overpriced

You can go to this place with complete confidence, go in a group, as a couple or alone, whatever you want, have a good time, just come with your companion and the money, the good staff with their first-class service takes care of everything else, I went with our work team and it was great, blessings and come everyone.

The place has this simple, relaxed charm that’s perfect for a morning catch-up or solo start to the day.

I tried the beet dip and the fried zucchini, both were absolutely incredible and definitely must-orders. They’re just a little different from your typical breakfast fare.

Service was warm and efficient

I’m here on vacation and my cousin recommended we try this place out. It is amazing! The food is so good and fresh, and the service was fantastic. I got the Mediterranean breakfast with perfectly poached eggs and iced coffee. Their homemade hot sauce was also delicious. My daughter got the egg sandwich with duck bacon and fries. I didn’t try her sandwich but the fries were perfection. We also got fresh watermelon juice (a special) and it was so good we ordered another to go. We will likely be back before we leave town.

Edit/Update: We did actually come back two days later and I got the poached eggs with roasted tomato and haloumi this time. It was also delicious! We got the watermelon juice and an iced coffee again :) Our server was different this time and just as kind and attentive. I'll for sure be back next time I'm in Chelsea!

I don’t usually write reviews but had to this time.

I assumed that the percentage of the tip was decided by the customer and not by the lady who gave the cheque

This is the first time in NY, I have come across that a customers prerogative was taken away by the person who handed over the check. This behavior chose took away the pleasure of good food, service of others and the atmosphere. I would never visit again

I really like that the menu has all day breakfast. The pressed sandwich with prosciutto and egg was very good.
Pleasant atmosphere, good for couples or groups. For dinner we did not need to reserve ahead and got seated quickly.
