Came with friends for lunch and ordered a chicken avocado sandwich, which I liked a lot. Everyone else opted for croque monsieurs, which came with fries that I snagged (nicely crisp). I'd definitely come back to try other things on the menu! They have nice outdoor seating but keep in mind if you're a large party that seating is not very plentiful indoors. read more

English Breakfast to me is very personal. Having half of my family being from the great country of England, I come to really critique any English (or Irish) Breakfast. This place has got it right! I went for breakfast around 9:30am because I don't do brunch. I'm not sorry for that because I do like 3 square meals a day. Go to Oscar's for breakfast! For $17 it is a bargain and it's totally delicious. Ask for the Irish bacon instead of regular American bacon! Everything was cooked perfectly and service was great. The atmosphere is a lot of fun and is definitely a nice hole in the wall! Sit outside on a nice sunny day and gossip while drinking a nice real cup of tea or coffee. I'll be coming back for the fish and chips. I cannot wait! read more

Love this little English breakfast spot on a cute, quiet corner of the West Village. Snag a table outside (the wait isn't usually too bad) in warmer weather - they're happy to let you bring a pup with you at these tables, too. I love the baked Eggs Cocotte with a La Colombe coffee, or the French onion soup if they have it on special. Great place for a quick, delicious, sit-down breakfast or lunch :) read more

I would have LOVED to give Oscar's 5 stars but I can't. It was a slow Thursday late lunch. We were one of 3 tables there. We had a good meal. Some nice conversation with the owner. Paid our bill and left..... Our bill was $137 with the tip. ($114 + $22 & change tip) On Sunday we get a courtesy call from our credit card company asking if we meant to leave a $137 tip on a $137 bill. Wait - what? Of course not! - obviously an error on the part of Oscar's right? So with the credit card company we call Oscar's. Explain the situation to the owner - and he asks for proof. He wants a copy of our receipt. (which we no longer have) Wait - what? I've been a bartender, restaurant manager & waitress - If I were a server and I received $159 tip on a $114 bill, not only would I be grinning from ear to ear and doing a happy dance all over , but the entire restaurant would know about it INCLUDING my boss who would have recognized the hefty payout at the end of the shift. He doesn't remember it? He basically tells us to go F ourselves and do a chargeback - tying up our $274 for the next few weeks. Obviously someone needs that extra $137 in their account for a few weeks. Really not very cool. read more

Walked in on a lark to find this unassuming, charming little restaurant that sounds like a tea place but looks like your local diner inside. I couldn't nail down one particular identity for this joint, but no matter. GF and I ordered the beef stew and Myers Mini Steak & Kidney Pie, respectively. Both were tasty and filling, and I endorse them with zero reservations. It was quite perfect for a quiet dinner on a Sunday night. read more

NOT YOUR TYPICAL BRUNCH/DINER. THIS BELGIUM GEM JUST RAISED THE BAR, LIKE REALLY HIGH I cannot express how much Joy this place gave me. If Jennifer Lawrence came here, it may have been a better movie... This place gives you jam-packed flavor inside simple items. We came around 2pm. One of my friends wanted french toast but they only had their lunch menu. The kind man offered to extend his breakfast menu and made sure we got French toast. He was extremely friendly the entire time and made us feel at ease, it was a pure delight and he really added to our great experience there COFFEE - The La Colombe Coffee is absolutely heavenly, strong & smoothly balanced but rich & deep. It was amazing AND.. it's FREE w/ yelp check-in ARUNDEL Omelette - Mushroom spinach bacon omelette, let me say, it was up there in the best omelettes I ever had. Besides the fresh vegetables, the eggs were so fluffy and light, the cooks carefully cooked it not to char or burn on any sides. Again, so Simple but meticulously executed, it was delicious PURIST WAFFLES - Waffles w/ Maple Syrup. My friend gave me a piece and I thought I ate a cloud. I had no idea a waffle could be so pillowy and delicate. BERRY FRENCH TOAST - This is where I would give 6 stars if I could. Look at the picture. Then imagining it taste 100x better. Then, realize, that it tastes MUCH better in person. IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT DELICIOUS THICK BRIOCHE SOAKED IN MILK EGG HONEY CINNAMON WITH A MEDLEY OF BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE Recommended: I can't imagine anything bad here read more

45 minutes? For a salad? To be picked up? At lunch? The Kale Aux Lardon Salad (Lunch) $12.25 (Poached egg, bacon and red wine vinegar) was ruined by an over-poached egg, uncertainty over the meat (lardons != bacon exactly, but OK), the lack of a mention of onions, and going WAY too heavy on the red wine vinegar. Three slices of Amy's Bread (one white-ish, one brown-ish) turned out to be most of the weight of the heavy-for-a-salad bag they handed me. Skipped the Yelp checkin special for a PG Tips Tea or La Colombe coffee. Skipped the $18 bangers & Mash and the $19 fish & chips because it's THAT part of the West Village (i.e., not Greenwich Ave where it's better & cheaper). read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. I used to work in the neighborhood, so I've been coming here for years and have never been let down by it. Even after moving to Brooklyn, I still come into Manhattan just for Oscar's. I've had nearly everything on the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, and nothing has ever disappointed; the highlights for me are the English breakfast, the beef stew, bangers and mash, and of course the fish and chips (my favorite that I've had in the city). The service is excellent, and the owner Neil is always fun to have a chat with. If you want to splurge on a lavish meal, there are plenty of great places in the West Village to do that, but this is hands-down the best no-frills neighborhood spot that you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

Came here on last Saturday after walking past the week before an eyeing up some ones full English . The place is small , actually make that tiny , but if you sit outside its a good place to people watch . Now to the food , all 4 of us ordered the full English so I cant tell you how the other food is . The sausages are good , not great and you can get far better in the city, the bacon was lame if you are going to do a full English its all about the bacon . It should be thick back bacon not skinny streaky American stuff . Toast on the side was pretty good . All in all its not bad but not the best. As for he service , well if you don't mind chasing the staff inside for condiments , HP sauce and butter and having the waffles forgotten then its ok . Wanted to love it unfortunately just an ok !

"Stoke me a kipper, I'll be home for breakfast; Smeg!" This is a perfect low-key place for brunch (maybe dinner, idk), and where you should take your gf/bf in the morning. It doesn't rage with a DJ and unlikely you will run into anyone you know, so you can quietly and discreetly enjoy your brekkie. At the former home of Petite Albeile, they lost their 1/2 Belgian origins and went 100% Brit. I've been here twice and had to Classic English Breakfast and the Big Ben...both were stellar and well prepared. I also sampled the chips and veggie Croque. Just not a place to be missed. What's lovely: * Food is awesome. * Service is attentive and personable. * Prices are low for the West Village * Good sized outdoor seating area * Well situated in a sea of decidedly ubiquitous brunch spots What's pants: 1) Decor won't be featured in the New Yorker 2) This isn't the boozy brunch place you were hoping to find 3) Not good for a gaggle of giggly girls our for brunch (actually this is a plus+++++) read more

Went here with a friend to grab an early dinner on a Saturday. We were one of two tables in the place, so we were seated right away. After perusing the menu, we decided to split the fish and chips and a burger. The burger was very standard--not a lot of seasoning for the meat and pretty average--the fries were good though. The fish and chips were better, though it still didn't hit the high marks I was expecting based on the reviews. Also, the tartar sauce lacked a little flavor. Overall, this is a cozy spot that serves up homey food. The service was friendly and attentive, but it did take a while for the food to come out even though we were the only ones ordering food. read more

I rarely write reviews after only one experience but everything about this place was great. I got there after noon so I was too late for breakfast but the owner was very agreeable and offered to prepare a "Traditional English Breakfast" for me. I had never had exactly that so I said o.k.. Seated outside I enjoyed a very good cup of coffee and toasted bread with butter while waiting. I was served two perfectly fried over medium eggs topped with bacon, a side of sausage, baked beans that were done perfectly, not too sweet, sauteed mushrooms and two thick slices of grilled tomatoes. Every aspect of the breakfast seemed to compliment the others. Excellent! read more

We introduced Classic British Food and kept the Belgian favorites. Our beef Stew is now cooked in dark Scottish Stout with brussel sprouts, carrots and prunes with a portion of chips. The creamy Chicken Stew is in a puff pastry with pearl onions, smoked bacon and mushrooms and comes with fries and the ever popular Moules Frites- 2lbs of mussels in a white wine sauce, creamy beer or ratatouille. Beer battered fish with tartare sauce and chips doused in malt vinegar was a first on our menu. A mini Steak and Kidney Pie made by our friends at Meyer's of Keswich, served with homemade baked beans and seasonal mixed greens. They also make the sausage for our Bangers and mash, three pork sausages with our mash of the day. Our Classic English Breakfast- 2 fried eggs, Meyer's breakfast sausage, smoked bacon, fried mushrooms and tomato and homemade baked beans. Call For Daily Specials!

Established in 2013.

After 17 years working with the Belgian Restaurant chain Petite Abeille, former partner Neil Smith and chef Crespen Huero, who spent nearly two decades in their kitchens, took over the West Village location evolving into Oscar's Place in November, 2013. Chef Crespen takes pride in his perfected recipes, especially the two soups he makes daily, which has made regulars out of the locals. His Black Forest ham, Mac and Cheese gets gobbled down like his signature Banana Bread Pudding.

We waited 25 minuets for our second round of drinks and ultimately had to cancel them as we had our show to attend.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with champagne, which immediately set the tone for a special evening. Our server, Daniel, was beyond amazing. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our anniversary meaningful. It never felt forced just thoughtful, polished hospitality. The team went above and beyond when we brought our wedding cake (which had been frozen for a year). Not only did they accommodate it without hesitation, they helped decorate and present it beautifully you would have thought it had been baked that same day. It was such a touching moment for us, and they handled it with care and enthusiasm. As for the food: incredible. The steak tartare was perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. The tuna was fresh and vibrant. And the Beef Wellington... honestly one of the best I've had in New York City. Perfectly cooked, rich, elegant, and absolutely worthy of a celebration dinner. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: romantic, warm, refined but relaxed. It felt special without being stiff. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, this is it. We will absolutely return.

Our server didn't check up on us, and seemed to want us to leave quickly after dropping off the check. We would have been happy to pay the $65 each for afternoon tea, but it wasn't worth it and frankly, I was agitated by the whole ordeal by the time I left. We were also disappointed by the food items (as they were lacking) and nothing about this was like other experiences we had with other afternoon teas. I can't in good faith recommend this place, nor do I see myself coming back after the atrocious service we experienced.

Tea & Sympathy

I hadn't been here in a while, but after a cold and drizzly spring morning of hiking in the park, I…read morewas looking for a good, hearty, stick to your ribs kind of meal. The breakfast I had at tea and sympathy was just the thing! As usual it was extremely crowded. I think the only reason I was able to snag a table without a reservation was because I was by myself. I was seated at a tiny table in front of the door and enjoyed a delicious steaming pot of their house earl grey tea, which came with refills! Then I ordered "the full Monty," which was a yummy and filling breakfast platter, where every single element was perfectly done. The toast was bone dry and a perfect vessel for the piping hot stewed tomato, mushrooms, beans, and silky scrambled eggs. The back bacon and sausage link were very juicy and flavorful, and the star of the meal was the black pudding! I don't normally like it, but this was rich and savory without any sort of gamey offal flavor. I didn't think I'd finish it but I gobbled everything right up. For dessert I thought why not try sticky toffee pudding, which to my surprise was a slice of sweet and squidgy cake studded with chopped dates and topped with a hot vanilla custard. Of course it went perfectly with more tea and the cold dreary weather. The bill wasn't ludicrous but definitely more of a meal for when you want to treat yourself! I love this place and am glad it's still just as busy as ever.

I have been a patron of Tea & Sympathy for years, but have only recently become a regular due to…read moredealing with ongoing medical miseries coupled with the death of my 92-year-old mother after years of her suffering with lung cancer, and the comfort provided by this eatery cannot be measured in words. Yes, the place is small and the available seating space is limited and sometimes cramped, but that is rendered irrelevant by the quality if the meals and the service. (Word to the wise: Do not simply drop in, as the place is usually packed with customers who made reservations beforehand, so make sure to book your table online.) The food is always superb, just the kind of comfort food that I gravitate to whenever I visit England, and the cozy, intimate vibe of the place reminds me of what it feels like to be human after enduring ongoing dialysis three times per week for the past six years. The staff is always courteous and friendly -- special shout-out to the most excellent Molly -- and the restaurant's proprietor is quite a character who clearly gives a damn about the quality of the restaurant's every aspect. I have tried many of the items on the menu, but my go-to repasts include the Full Monty (the full English breakfast ), sausage rolls , and the bangers (sausages), bacon, and beans plate with an excellent multigrain toast. And though I am not really a dessert guy (I favor savory flavors) , I have great appreciation for their deliciously tart rhubarb crumble with hot custard. And don't get me started on their comprehensive roster of fresh teas served out of individual pots at your table. (I favor the blackcurrant tea with milk.) In short, Tea and Sympathy is a singular oasis in a mad city that becomes ever more of a nauseating tourist trap with each passing day. An eatery of its singular excellence is as rare as hen's teeth and is to be held most dear. It is rare for me to find zero flaws in a restaurant, and I say that as someone who anchored the kitchen at an award-winning barbecue joint, so take that for what it's worth.

I made a reservation for a Monday evening around 8pm. Even at this time, reservations were scarce. It's not a very large restaurant so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. I ordered the Sourdough Bread & Butter, and the Squid & Scallion Skewers to start. The bread was crispy and tasty; a solid sourdough, but wasn't anything overly unique. The skewers were herbaceous and light. The green sauce was super flavorful - especially when dipped into by that sourdough. For my main I ordered the Fish & Chips (of course). Were they extremely good? YES. Were they the best Fish & Chips I've ever eaten? No, however this accolade belongs to an actual Chippy I ate at in the UK. As far as 'restaurant' Fish & Chips go however - these are the probably the best I've eaten. The fish was expertly fried and super crispy. The chips were thick cut and well-salted. My only complaint is there wasn't more of them. An extra handful of chips and you wouldn't see the bottom of the plate in photos - just sayin! For dessert I got the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Now this WAS the best Sticky Toffee Pudding I've ever had. Extremely flavorful. Extremely sweet. Would be perfect for two to share. As a solo diner, it was pushing my sweet tooth to eat the entire thing. But naturally, I did. The service was great. Super personable and attentive. I was seated at the counter overlooking the kitchen. Watching the chefs prepare every dish was fascinating and entertaining to watch. Definitely recommend this place!

The resto itself is pretty tiny - probably why reservations are so hard to come by. As for the food, lots of seafood options. 1. The oysters were good albeit very rich 2. Sourdough was actually great especially with their cultured butter 3. Squid skewers were probably my fave. Perfectly cooked. That green sauce is herby springy and zingy. 4. Cucumber salad was pretty good. I liked the smoked mussels 5. Tuna was also good not much to say about it 6. Kedgeree was... just alright. I could have skipped this tbh. The rice had a bit of bite to it which I actually kinda liked. My friends thought it felt undercooked. It's basically just like rice soaked in a light curry 7. Sticky toffee / date pudding: I was excited for this since I've heard all about how Dame makes a banging one but this kinda fell short for me. The vanilla bean (sour) cream didn't really do it. Sour cream with a sweet dessert? I suppose it was to cut the sweetness but hmm... I've had much better sticky dates elsewhere Service was good. Overall a good restaurant especially if you love seafood. Probably not worth all the effort to get a res. But good nonetheless, would come back if it was a lot easier.
