Absolutely BEST sneakiest, lowkey place in the city. So slept on. Cutest outdoor patio in the back and so many tables open. Brunch was standard and does the trick. Nothing too fancy or unique

Indoor is cute too and there’s a coffee shop in the front with couches. Great place to go and count on seating!

I popped in to scope out the cozy lobby area to work from. The F&B director, Keith, approached me and asked how he could help. He offered to give me a tour of the area and was incredibly nice and helpful. He kindly let me know that they prioritize those staying at the hotel for seating (which is completely understandable) and that they just ask those working at the hotel to be accommodating, kind to the staff, and order food/drinks.The space itself was intimate & cozy - definitely a place I’d like to spend hours drinking coffee and reading a good book.I didn’t get a chance to try any of their food or drinks but I definitely will be back to do so. Shoutout to Keith for turning me into a customer!

You'll notice that many of the reviews here comment on the lack of service. There's a reason for that.

Ordered coffee. They don't have cream. You'd think a flossy, upscale place like this would have cream, but ... no.

Okay. Coffee isn't great and not that hot, but it is what it is.

The waiter disappears. Never saw him again. Literally. An hour passes?

I ask the hostess for a waiter. Nothing.

I ask the busboy for the manager.

A different waiter finally appears. Nice fellow. Takes our order. The manager wanders over, and everything about him exemplifies "I don't care." So I finally understand why the original waiter was so lackluster: It's the leadership. It usually is.

This is a great venue and would be terrific place to if they could find a manager who could, I dunno; manage.

A wonderful winter space with dark wood, couches and a fireplace. One of the few bars in NYC to enjoy good mulled wine. The crowd is decent and cool despite the old school elegant vibe of this place. Not sure why the description says closing at 6, it is definitely open as a lobby bar way after 6pm. It was weird though that they don't serve tea after 6pm.

Asked for my burger cheese only and medium. Came out rare and with pickles and a bunch of stuff on it. I set it at the edge of the table assuming the waitress would say something and she didn’t care. Waitress who was working today was snobby and not good.Terrible experience

Wonderful place to get away from the noise and bustle of the city. I got a tea and sandwich which was delicious. I saw someone else on here complain about the time it took to get served, that was not my experience. I barely waiter five minutes for my order to arrive! Will be coming back very soon.

A hidden gem in the city to hide out in with a good book on a cold and rainy day.

I thought I had a great location between the East and West Village. And a block from Washington Square. But when I went out for coffee at 730 on Sunday morning I was overwhelmed with not just homeless people (who I'm incredibly sympathetic to) but to obvious tranq and/or fentanyl users. I counted 30 in three blocks. Acting in a threatening way. Rooms are small but fine. Newspapers and coffee available at 7am. But the construction site next door is a non-starter unless you will be out all day. Room vibrates and noise is so much you can't clearly talk.

Dark and dingey. Feels like a student hostel with every seat in lobby taken up all day by students studying or hanging around. One lift, had to wait literally 10 minutes to get down one time. Dangerous balustrade where you wait for lift. Only about 3ft high with drop down to the basement, definitely not safe for children.
