Great food and attentive staff. Second visit and it won't be the last. Great mixologist too.
The crispy eggs Benedict is a treat for the morning - the preparation is a bit of an improvement of the poached egg on this classic style Benedict.
The French toast perfectly done with a thin outer crisp and fluffy inside.
Great way to start the day!

The Reading Room is a charming restaurant located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. With friendly service staff and delicious food, it remains a popular choice for both breakfast and special occasions like birthday celebrations. Guests can enjoy a simple breakfast menu that includes options like the Crispy Eggs Benedict, which offers a novel take on a brunch classic, and strong coffee made from excellent quality beans. The cozy atmosphere invites guests to linger with a book, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal in the Big Apple. Diners have appreciated the friendly staff and the easy access to the restaurant. The ambiance is cozy, making it a great place to grab drinks and a bite while being able to talk comfortably. However, some diners have noted that the interior can feel dimly lit, which may suit dinner service better than brunch. While the food has received positive remarks, some details like the seasoning of accompanying dishes could be improved. Overall, The Reading Room is an intimate space, ideal for quick bites, family gatherings, or business meetings, with a genuinely exceptional experience highlighted by remarkable customer care.
