This is our favorite go-to place for weekend brunch and after-work meals. It’s slightly pricier but the food is worth it! Very fresh, cooked only upon ordering, delicious like home-cooked. Everyone there is friendly, service is fast! Atmosphere is super pleasant and relaxed. The table by the window are the best seats for two in all of NYC! - Liz Donnelly
