    Chicken sausage

    So I've been here before but this was my first time going for afternoon tea. It was so divine and delicious. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Fatima was our server and she gave amazing service. The decor of this place is still as beautiful as ever. I'm so happy to see that the quality of service I received a year ago is still the same.

    Eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon
    Bijal R.

    Very pretty restaurant with classic dishes. Decor is stunning. Went with a large group of 10 on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated and served quickly. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon. The potatoes served on the side were crispy and not greasy. The serving size was perfect. Roughly around $20. Will definitely want to go back to try their high tea!

    Came here since I saw such cute photos of their afternoon tea set. Was expecting something good. Got here with my girlfriends and it was a bit disappointing. It was cute decor but food was nothing special.

    Afternoon tea review: No matter how old you are, you always have time to doll up and catch up with the girls over afternoon tea. That's what we did one tarde de domingo when it was still chilly outside. My cleverly named White Wedding was a sip of comfort that would have made Mr. Idol himself smile. Our tasty sandwiches were generously portioned and filled, with my favorites being the Tuna Salad and Smoked Salmon Rillette (complete with marbled bread!). Even the scones were softer, tastier and....butter-ier?....than many I've had elsewhere in the city. The least impressive part of our spread was actually the desserts. We got a couple of commonly flavored macarons, an Italian rainbow cookie and dark chocolate truffle (both identically sized). No creativity--the definition of phoning it in. Methinks they need to hire a real pastry chef. Still, for $48, I'll take it. The cute, floral, antique-y decor and friendly service make up for it. And I need to cut back on my sugar anyway (because of the dreaded diabetus...).

    3.5/5 I had a reservation and thank god I did - the entire place was packed. It's also not that big of a space so you can see every table. I arrived a few minutes early, but was seated shortly. The hostess was not that nice; she just gestured to my table. Unfortunately we were seated right by the door so it was kind of cold. Our server, Santiago, took his time greeting me but apologized for huge delay. He was super nice and gave great recommendations. We got: - rose latte: this is super pretty but unfortunately just tastes like sweet milk/nothing. I would pass - milk oolong tea: presentation is cute. Comes in adorable teapot with a sand timer so we knew when to remove the tea leaves. - bourbon French toast: 10/10 - no notes! This was so yummy. It comes with bacon and berries. It doesn't come with syrup and instead comes with the a vanilla sauce that's perfect for dipping - salmon eggs Benedict: nothing crazy but it was solid. We substituted for fries, which were okay. I wish they were crispier - lobster ravioli: comes with 5-6 big pieces. Super tasty and you need to enjoy the pink champagne sauce! We were charged $2 for water, which is stated on the menu but I didn't realize we weren't given tap water... the same hostess who seated me started clearing our tea and water glasses without asking if we were done.. like no ma'am I am not done yet. So that was annoying. Besides her, Santiago was great and attentive!! He even brought me a blue teacup so it would match my dress!

    Cute brunch place! Came on one of the freezing weekends in NYC and thank goodness we made a reservation. Was seated right by the door so whenever people came in and out, it was definitely chilly! Mocktails: Blueberry mule and Hibiscus Raspberry ($10 each). Both were good and they had fresh fruit on the drinks Brunch: We got two things to share - - French Toast: Bourbon Batter ($24) was topped with a few pieces of berries, caramelized pears and bacon. Toast was soft and tasted good with the vanilla sauce but felt like there was a bit too much bourbon personalluy as I don't drink that often. - Sammies: LH Club Sandwich ($21) served with french fries. Chicken was juicy and tender and the boiled egg was just right. Great sandwich and yummy skinny fries. The bread seemed to be some sort of whole grain or seeded bread that made it seem healthy but still delicious. FYI I didn't notice the veso water for $1 per person on the menu, so when I looked at the bill I was confused on what that charge was. Apparently they do not serve tap water. I inquired our server and told him that we barely drank the water so they removed the cost.

    Very picturesque spot with the wisteria from the store front to the floral and vintage themed interior decor. My friends and I dressed up for this brunch. Drinks were good. Selections of the food items were not different from regular brunch. Would come back to try their high tea sets. We reserved for the 3pm time slot and came about 10 minutes early and still have to wait 20-30 minutes for the table to be ready. While waiting, there was table already set up but the staff did not call any customers to the table, we saw that guests from another table go to that clean table and staff did not say anything. We saw there was a big party outside waiting already.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 10 Value: 5 Overall: 7 I rarely, if ever, give a perfect score for decor. However, it is the most attractive thing about this restaurant that brings in the customers, and I can see why. It is simply gorgeous! The beautiful wisteria on the outside of this brunch spot opens up into an opulent looking interior. You will feel like you're eating inside of a palace or fancy mansion. As for the food, it was decent, but I really wish it was better for the heavy price tags. I haven't tried much, so I'm willing to try come back for more of the menu. Here are my thoughts on the items I did try. Dirty Lavender w/ Espresso (8/10) - Very aromatic, rich tasting and quite delicious. Rose Tea Latte w/ Espresso (7.5/10) - If you like the smell and taste of rose, then this is a great beverage. Truffle Omelet (6/10) - For such a high price, I really wish the egg was cooked fluffier and not as dense. Otherwise, the truffle and Parmesan cheese paired well. Btw, you can get half a stuffed hash brown instead of the fries. Do it! Scones Basket & Clotted Cream (8.5/10) - These hot and toasty scones were the star of our meal. I prefer the thicker clotted cream and strawberry jam at Tea & Sympathy better, but not bad. Overall, a wonderful product that I will return for. Rose Petal Pancakes (6/10) - I am not a pancake fan in general, but I have had airy and fluffy versions before. This was not one of them. Rose syrup does give you the flavor it promised. Stuffed Hash Brown (8/10) - Slightly salty, but the two different cheeses they stuffed into the potato crust made the hash brown quite unique and yummy. Pork Sausage (8/10) - Not the largest portion, but nicely cooked and savory. I put a heavier value on the two entrees for the cuisine score because I don't think the restaurant should be mostly judged on its appetizers and side dishes. However, those items will likely be the reason I return.

    Little Hen is the cutest brunch/afternoon tea spot! The decor inside is beautiful. People often go dressed up as if they are going to a tea party and have afternoon tea. My friend and I just had brunch, but everything was still delicious. We had a few of their signature cocktails and some of them come with a small presentation. The food was good. The rose petal pancakes are pretty to look at, but I didn't love them taste wise. My friend got the steak and she thought it was good. I highly recommend checking this place out. The service was great as well. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and welcoming.

    I went to the Little Hen for a friend's 30th birthday party & we all had a great time. First & foremost, a special shout out to our waitress Roberta who was easily one of the best waitresses I've had. She was clearly really busy as it was a Saturday & Little Hen is popular but she still made time for us & was very kind without being overbearing. She also helped us with our one too many questions about the menu haha. Here's what we ordered- Chilaquiles- really good & it really did remind me of the ones I've had in Mexico City (which is where our waitress is from & recommended). I also loved both the green & the red sauces equally- typically I tend to favor the red sauce haha. Chicken & waffles- honestly I've had better but these weren't bad. Eggs Benedict- a classic & Little Hen definitely did a great job with it as well, love that hollandaise sauce! Rose pancakes- yes they are very aesthetically pleasing but they are also quite tasty & unique, a must order for the table to share versus have as your own entree is my two cents. We also had a couple of drinks which were good but nothing special tbh. All in all, Little Hen & Roberta did a great job making my friends 30th birthday really special for her :).

    Ham and Gruyère Omelette
    Ingrid C.

    Amazingly cute and vibey brunch spot - the decorations are gorgeous and PERFECT for an afternoon tea setting. I didn't get to try the afternoon tea, but the food is your standard brunch choices. I got the cheese and ham omelette. It was a little bit on the drier side and pricey, but still pretty good. I would say the dirty rose chai was unique, and super fragrant. If you're into fun brunch drinks, then this is a good spot to visit. Ty for reading :^)

    This spot is so cute !! I met a friend here for afternoon tea. There's a lot of floral decorations, including fresh flowers on every table. We made a reservation, so we expected to be seated when we arrived, but we had to wait over half an hour longer to even get an update about a table. Not sure why it took so long to be seated despite having a reservation... what's the point of making a reservation then? The afternoon tea service comes with a pot of tea per person, and a shared tea tower with finger sandwiches, scones, and dessert. The tea was okay. I didn't like any of the desserts - they all just tasted like pure sugar (no flavor, just sugar) and had weird artificial after tastes. The scones were good but the clotted cream they provided wasn't really clotted cream: it was more like whipped cream. The lemon curd and strawberry sauce were both too sweet. The sandwiches were hit or miss. The fillings were good, but some of the bread tasted stale. Even though this spot is super cute, I don't know if I'll be back due to the lack of respect for reservation times and the low quality of most of the food. At least the pot of tea was good! I had the wedding tea and that was great.

    DELIGHTFUL NYC BRUNCH SPOT!!! Looking to have a more "shabby chic" kind of brunch in NYC, yelp search brought us a number of options, but the daintiness of Little Hen sure attracted Wifey for a "just you & me" experience. Reservation on their website was easy to make and apparently fills up fast, as there were no alternative options when we checked a few days later. Easy to get to Greenwich Village via subway and a short walk to eatery. The outer decorations of the eatery surely adds a lot of character to the local dreariness of the surrounding buildings. Looks like the "Smart Chic Dress Code" has been upgraded to "Glamorous Dress Code" for weekend brunch? Took a few minutes to acknowledge us... were they assessing if we passed the "smart chic" code?!?! LOL! I brought fancy shoes to NYC just for this, I better pass! Mostly ladies in the house and all were definitely rocking the "Smart Chic" and "Glamorous" look. Us dudes though, the few that were there, I was overdressed compared to them... DOH! The servers do not even have a hint of the "NYC 'tude" here! Elyse took care of us today... joyful smile, kind, answers questions happily, attentive, helpful... Wifey loved it! Ok, let's eat!!! BOURBON BATTER FRENCH TOAST: OMG! BEST French Toast I've ever had! It's was that good! And we weren't even considering it until, our server Elyse, said it was on her hit list. Visually pleasing when it arrived, but more importantly, the taste was fabulous! That vanilla sauce at the bottom of the serving plate?!?! HOLEY MOLEY! That was straight up BOUGIE! Didn't even need maple syrup with that sauce in effect. French Toast pieces were flavored and cooked to perfection. Bacon pieces were crisp and the pear complimented the dish well. BOMB! AVO SALMON TOAST: Smoked salmon on Avocado Toast?!? What a concept! Never have seen that on The Left Coast so far! Wifey definitely locked in to that. She enjoyed it. Ample serving of salmon. Loved the chunkiness of the avocado. Not for me on a cold morning lol TRUFFLE OMELET: This was something I've never seen before, and completely piqued my interest. Is it truffle flavoring or actual truffle??? Oooo... Actual Truffle shavings! Let's do it! When it landed on our table, the truffle aroma was delightful! The size of the omelet was something you'd expect at this kind of eatery, and not the kind of monstrosity you'd devour at a Black Bear Diner. The egg was perfectly fluffy, and there were enough truffle shavings that you had one with every bite. The Parmesan was actually shavings, not crisps, which I actually prefer. The mushrooms inside were not so overwhelming that it took away from the truffle flavor. Solid omelet! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom NOM level Is high! Would recommend getting reservations if you plan on sampling the yummies here, as multiple parties were turned away while we were there. Props to our server, Elyse. She was on point! Definitely something we will return to, whenever the chance arises! Enjoy! :)

Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

I can add mustard to every bite instead of all over the sandwich. My son and I split a pastrami and the beef brisket together to be able to sample at least two types of meats. My wife ordered the half corned beef sandwich with a bowl of French onion soup, so we got to sample a bite of each of those as well. Surprisingly we finished everything and still had room for a home made strawberry cheesecake which was amazing. If I'm being honest, I liked it better than juniors and you can read more of my review of Junior's cheesecakes on their Yelp page.
