    Nice and cozy place with friendly and attentive staff. Similar layout to Waverly dinner but smaller. The make it your own omelets were very good made with peppers, sausage, cheese, and mushrooms. Potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I haven't had orange juice in a while and I had two. Definitely a nice place to have a bite to eat and conversation.

    Pancakes and bacon

    Bus stop is walk-in only and worth the wait! Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Service was fine. Definitely would recommend the brunch happy hour deal as it comes with an entree from the list provided and two drinks! Will come back for the food!

    The food was great and the atmosphere is cozy. We enjoyed our breakfast. It was a little slower coming to us than we would have liked but the staff was nice. It's also a bit expensive done most items only come with coffee and a small glass of juice, no toast or potatoes, etc. but it is not too far off for being in New York City.

    Extremely rude customer service! We ordered a mocha latte and got a macchiato instead! Waitress insisted she heard macchiato! A shot with foam instead of a latte! The carrot cake is the only reason for the twp stars! The table outside was broken and shaking the whole time.. Not worth the experience!

    One of my favorite brunch spots... the interior is small, but there is something so charming and cozy about it. We like to sit outside on a nice day, and the hostess has always been so accommodating. The gluten free pancakes are a favorite!! And you can't go wrong with the omelettes, and have like 5 cups of coffee.

    Love the space, the vibe feels incredibly local. Reasonable price, food was amazing. The servers were extremely nice and sensible too. 100% highly recommend. A waitress I asked confirmed Taylor Swift used to dine here.

    "I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though"....maybe inspired by this place? Who knows...but my sister had to get breakfast here during our Taylor Swift NY weekend. This location is absolutely so cute, there are two parks right across the street so we opted to sit outside and enjoy the view. We sat in the covered patio area and it was the move. The servers were so friendly and sat us quickly. For food my sister ordered off the specials menu that comes with coffee and juice and I ordered the jalapeno avocado omelette (which came with potatoes and toast). We both had iced coffee that came out quickly. Very good coffee and they bring out milk which is so clutch cause it's way better than those little creamers. The food came out at a reasonable speed. Portion sizes were large. My eggs were perfectly cheesey and pillowy. I seriously loved this omelette. Crispy little potatoes with onions were the perfect side. Sometimes good diner type breakfast food is what you need. If I lived around here, I would come often because the prices weren't that bad either. Loved this place and would definitely be back if I lived in New York!

    My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

    Woke up at 5:55 AM PST in order to make this reservation... but overall glad I was able to. The…read morepull apart truffle monkey bread was our initial reason for coming, and although the price point was quite steep, I would say it's worth the try. The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting. Although the space was packed, it didn't feel too loud or crowded. We spent about two hours and didn't feel rushed.

    I had such a hard time getting a reservation here! I think they have more availability during…read morelunch, but the dinner reservations are so hard to grab. I went on a Thursday night, and the place was absolutely packed. The front feels more like a bar/casual area, while the dining room is tucked toward the back. My reservation was at 10:15 PM, so I actually had a light dinner beforehand and ordered a little lighter than I normally would. I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

The flavor was great and it was just enough to fill me. The fish and chips were very delicious. The batter was nice and fluffy and the fish was huge.

We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

He took the time to listen to our concerns and invited our group back so we could give their group another chance. While I still stand by how our initial experience made us feel, I also think it's important to acknowledge when a business owner responds with professionalism and genuinely works to rebuild trust. Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.
