My companions loved their French toast (i thought the middle was a little too mushy). I got simple scrambled eggs with potato kugle. The eggs were fluffy. I liked the kugle, but it was more like a flat potato pancake. I expected it to be as thick as the toast. The bacon (2 strips) was crisp the way I like it. The food all came out together which was a plus. But our server didn't refill our coffee, bring butter, etc. We had to request these items more than once. Note: our friends who live nearby said their chicken soup is really good.

They are constantly remaking and refilling your coffee. They use a nice blend. The food was great. I really enjoy a good breakfast sandwich. The kitchen sink was one of the best that I have had. Fluffy eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese and a potato pancake on a brioche bun. It is served with a small salad. My wife had the triple decker grilled cheese which was served with some fresh fruit. It will be well worth returning when visiting.

I believe we had the Brooklyn (?) french toast, which (despite being soaked in the syrup) wasn't overly sweet, so it was the perfect balance with the other savory dishes. I'm not a big lox person so the Leo was alright for me; the overall consensus was that the cream was a little too heavy for us. We did really like the latke that came with it though, reminiscent of a hashbrown. The chilaquiles was absolutely delectable with the acidity of the salsa verde + pickled red onions and avocado. It was a busy Sunday morning, but the service was still pretty good - overall had a great experience, the only downside was my umbrella did get stolen at the front though so be mindful? They also have such a mouthwatering selection of desserts as well, so I'll have to drop by for a slice next time!

The food and drinks were great!!! This is a spot you might find in Brooklyn but SURPRISE!!! Guess what? I TOOK PICTURES!! To start, we ordered the mango mojito and a hibiscus drink. Both were nice. We asked for more sugar cane because we wanted it! (So good) HOWEVER, skip both and order the rum punch!! BABYYYYYYY it was great!!! We ended up ordering it and my cousin had TWO. Trust me, order the Rum Punch. The food was delicious! Be sure to ask for the homemade hot sauce. It is FIRE!! The food: the salt fish and ackee spring rolls were good. We ordered chicken bites and they were delicious with and without the sauce!! It was "child certified" by our little cousin. We ordered fries and asked for the tamarind / ketchup. Loved it! The Trini corn soup was devoured with barely any evidence soup was in the bowl! The jerk chicken comes out on its own as an entree. The sides are al a cart. It did not need sides as the portion was nice! The crab fried rice was delicious as was the curry vegetable fried rice. The beef lo mein was delicious. The beef was tender and not too spicy . Because it was going so well, we ordered cake: a carrot slice, and a coconut slice. The carrot cake we like better than the coconut cake. Both had icing we all loved. The carrot cake was a little different from any I have had, but it was good. The coconut cake was cold and I suspect it was the reason it was on the dry side. It had flavor just not as moist as we would expect. So listen, this is a two restaurant experience. In the morning there is a different menu. We came after 5pm. This review is for the after five "set." I will attach a menu pic. Are we coming back? Yes we will!! Friendly staff that made sure we were happy and had what we needed. Great job and I look forward to my next trip and dining here! GET THE RUM PUNCH!!!

You can tell it's a local favorite, and after dining here, I completely understand why. We started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal. I ordered the Chicken Pepperoni Parmesan, and it was absolutely outstanding. I've had a similar dish at another New York restaurant, but this version was far better. It was made with a real, juicy chicken breast instead of ground chicken, and every bite was delicious. My husband ordered the linguine with clams and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. He's very picky and usually has strong opinions about restaurants, so when he told me this definitely belongs on our list of favorite New York restaurants, I knew it was a winner. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal. If you're looking for a classic New York dining experience with excellent food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Café Fiorello is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back!

The space itself is beautiful and very comfortable, with a cool, welcoming vibe that makes it an easy place to relax and catch up. It feels like a great hangout spot for just about anyone. One thing to keep in mind: they prefer that guests not use laptops, as they don't want people settling in for hours without continuing to order. Also, be sure to check the hours. We almost got caught off guard when it was close to 5 pm and didn't realize they were about to close! Overall, it's a stylish and inviting spot -- just plan accordingly and enjoy the atmosphere. The employees are very helpful as well!

At $10 you can't beat this healthy plate of charred chicken and brown rice (allegedly 750 calories, 80 grams of protein). I was afraid this was going to taste bland but it was quite the opposite. Chicken was nicely cooked and had great flavor. I enjoyed some for lunch and the remaining for dinner. If I lived closer I would likely buy these plates weekly as part of my meal prep plan.

Food was barely ok for NYC, but table service was distracted and slow. Arugula salad with peas and grilled peaches: there were no peas and the salad was just a toss of arugula with some balsamic. Waiter forgot part of my order and then it took what it seemed to be a long time to return with the correct order. Very small portion. A hostile and unwelcoming start; the music was terrible and it competed with a live jazz band playing jazz in the museum next door. Person in charge seemed annoyed when I suggested she turn it off, she only lowered it. Looking back, I should have left right away after this interaction. The best thing was the space. It is very pleasant. High ceilings. But the caned music made it feel I was in a cheap fast food restaurant. What a waste.

I have to say owner Jack Elamrousi stands out from the pack. An Egyptian immigrant who started long ago as a busboy, he runs his diner like a well-oiled machine, always one step ahead of his customers and making them feel like family members they actually like and don't owe them money. Jamie W and I were taking a long walk on Lexington to the Frick Collection and needed to get some breakfast en route. I liked how this place made its demand quite clear..."Eat Here Now!", so we stopped by this nice-looking cafe full of dark woods and vintage touches. It appeared to be a favorite spot for local seniors who insisted on sitting in the window booths. Jack kindly seated us at one when it was freed up, so we felt special already. Jamie ordered the $26 Cobb Salad, a hearty and fresh mix of mixed greens, celery, carrot, baby corn, blue cheese, olives, and hard boiled eggs topped with shards of grilled chicken and avocado slices (Photo 8). I went with the $19 California Salad, a simple plate of romaine leaves covered with cottage cheese, fresh fruit salad, and believe it or not, red Jello (Video). I don't think I've seen Jello on a lunch plate since the cafeteria in middle school. I kinda loved it. I added the $4.90 Pork Link Sausages (Photo 9) because there was no use being THAT healthy in New York City. We ended up nursing our $4 mugs of Coffee for quite some time in our comfy booth. Jack even stopped by and chatted us up. We learned that he opened his diner 36 years ago and shared his pride in surviving. Meanwhile, his staff was laser focused on providing attentive service from start to finish. Eat Here Now? Definitely. Eat Here Later? For sure.
