Gotta love this place. Old school New York. Dishes are creative and delicious.
Everything was great until the end. When I paid for my food the waitress turned the screen around to see how much I tipped, and when she saw I hadn’t tipped said “Just so you know, typically people tip when they dine in”. I feel like whether or not someone tipped shouldn't even be brought up as you never know what a customer might be going through.
Stumbled upon this little gem in lower Manhatten.
Probably my favorite pancakes in all of nyc. Cute little spot tucked inside the Essex market. No reservations here - you have to stand in line to wait for a table. It’s my go to place for brunch in the winter since their line is indoors. Their menu is insanely long and literally everything is good. While you’re likely waiting in line to be seated you can browse (and be overwhelmed) by their extensive menu. Be prepared for a slower meal as the kitchen is seriously tiny - they bring your food out as it’s ready (one by one). Come with a smaller group to be seated faster, there’s only about 10 tables plus a few bar seats. It’s also not a full service spot. A server takes your order and brings your food, but you help yourself for water and coffee. It’s chill and laid back, just don’t try and bring your to-go iced lattes in here, they really don’t like that.
Very rude; won’t allow you to sit more than 5 and won’t explain why.
Easily the most creative restaurant in nyc. Must watch the documentary!!
Family run place great comfort food a bit pricey but worth it. The Mets vibes are immaculate.
I would give a 0 if I could. Waited in line 30 mins for a table. We had 5 people, planning to sit at two tables and were told the kitchen could not accommodate a party of 5 at all bc the “kitchen cannot handle 5 people”
They don’t serve party of more than 4, understandable, it’s a small place. But they weren’t willing to split our party of 5 to separate tables either. They turned us away instead, makes no sense.
