Sarabeth's nails the holy trinity of brunch: ambiance, great food, and genuinely excellent service -- a combo few spots actually pull off. Cordell was our server, and he was the perfect blend of courteous, professional, and warmly welcoming -- like we were long-lost regulars finally making it back home. Highlights? A Bloody Mary done exactly right (complete with pickled, spiced veggies), a fresh and satisfying power bowl with avocado, and a garden omelette that tasted as good as it looked. Everything arrived beautifully plated, and the menu feels thoughtfully and expertly crafted rather than thrown together for trend's sake. We walked in hungry and walked out happier -- which, if you think about it, is the entire point of brunch. read more

Overcooked salmon which I ordered as medium. When I asked for bread or rolls, the waiter said they didn't have any but instead we could have popovers. I foolishly ordered the popovers which were $12 for 2 people. Not a good choice to accompany lunch. A turkey club sandwich came with some soft cheese added to the bread which was so disgusting, my wife couldn't eat it and had to ask for another dish. read more

I came here for happy hour on a random Wednesday and it was packed! They have a great happy hour menu. Cocktails are $8 and food is $6. Oysters are $2 each. I also love that happy hour ends at 7 pm. Happy hour is available at the bar/lounge and it's a seat yourself situation. We got: - cosmopolitan: pretty strong - margarita - goat cheese croquettes: comes with 4 pieces and these were yummy! - beef sliders: comes with 2, nothing special - oysters: we got 6 pieces. It came with lemon and horseradish read more

Sarabeth's environment is always comfortable enough for a casual meal with friends or a business lunch or happy hour. On my recent visit the host was a bit unwelcoming, but did her job, which wasn't the greatest first impression, but the water server and food server were much more pleasant for weekday lunch during restaurant week. The outdoor seating is currently under scaffolding, which makes it a fairly safe bet in pleasant temperatures even if the weather changes quickly. Inside was a bit too chilly even for a warm summer day. A table next to me outside had their dog with them, so dogs are welcome for outside seating. Ordering from the restaurant week lunch menu introduced me to some new and seasonal menu items not on the regular menu. I went for the tuna lettuce wraps and blackened jumbo shrimp with polenta. The tuna lettuce wraps had a very fresh flavor with most of the savory and salt coming from the truffle chips on top. The blackened jumbo shrimp looked like a small portion at first but in the end was quite filling and very flavorful. 3 good experiences, 2 meh experiences on this visit and previous visits makes this a convenient and decent option when I'm in the area, but rarely makes it my first choice for a dining experience. read more

Went in for Mother's Day brunch. I got a chopped salad with chicken. The chicken was RAW. I understand it's busy, but this is unacceptable and dangerous. I ate at least one piece (and a bulk of the salad) before realizing it was not cooked properly. When we flagged it to the manager all we got was a "sorry", and an offer to comp my salad, how generous! Won't be coming back. read more

Sarabeth's for brunch is a must during the holidays. We started with the muffin basket which includes an assortment of muffins and their jams with butter. I had the fruit bowl which was ripe and a large serving. My son had the breakfast bowls which he loved, the smoked salmon and pickled onions were a delight. Hubby had the farmers omelet which was delicious (snagged a bite) the Gruyère was creamy and flavorful. Great service rounded out our visit and we got the apricot preserves to go. Until next time! read more

This was our first time dining at Sarabeth's, and it was crowded for the weekend brunch. We had a reservation and arrived about 10 minutes early. We checked in with the hostess staffs, and waited. After everyone waiting for their tables have been seated, including the ones who arrived after us, it was just us two waiting... And then one of the staffs came over and asked what our name was for the reservation. I guess we have been forgotten...? So, after waiting 20 minutes patiently, we were finally taken to our table. We ordered Tiramisu Martini to go with our brunch, strong with a punch of espresso to wake you up. For food, we ordered one savory and one sweet dish. The server asked if we wanted any sides like bacon, and we thought "why not?" so we added bacon on the side. To our surprise, the thinly-sliced bacon was whooping $14! Should've checked the menu first... Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes were perfectly griddled, if that's a word. But, I didn't get much of lemon nor ricotta flavor. It tasted more like a regular pancake, with a hint of lemon, which was a bit disappointing. Adult Grilled Cheese came with tomato soup. I was a bit taken aback at the small potion size of the sandwich. Good thing it came with a nice sized soup. The sandwich was loaded with gooey, glorious cheese. The tomato soup provided extra substance to otherwise a small sandwich. It was more filling than it looked, quite tasty, and we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a "ok" brunch. We did get full enough from our cocktails and food. I wouldn't say the food was as good as I wanted them to be, especially the pancakes. The price point felt a bit high too, especially the side of bacon. Most of all, the way front staffs acted, how we were kind of forgotten while they just chatted among themselves, that made us feel not welcomed nor appreciated as customers. read more

I went here for my birthday breakfast and it was a great and elevated option as opposed to a diner or bagel spot in NY. I've heard great things and wanted to try it myself. I do want to go back maybe for lunch or dinner since the breakfast, super delicious, was pretty basic. Good quality and the service was great, but nothing "impressive" to write about. They did check our coats which I thought was a very upscale thing to offer for breakfast service. It was a huge place too, nice bathrooms, and you can tell they can get very busy. read more

Lemon ricotta pancakes was what I wanted to eat on the first day of my birthday celebrations. Along with bacon, this made for a fine breakfast. Five pancakes came with tiny ramekins of maple syrup and soft spreadable butter and blackberries. Five crisp bacon rashers brought joy. A cup of coffee rounded out this meal. Having eaten buttermilk pancakes countless times when I had lived on the UES, I knew that here on Park Avenue South's location, I would be getting tasty food. Omoriya showed me to my table and Tyree was the affable server. Here one can eat leisurely as this dining room is large. No one hurries you out. I managed three pancakes and struggled with a quarter more. If I had eaten the rest my request would have been a wheelbarrow to trundle me home. Service is excellent and being at Sarabeth's is lovely. read more

It was my first time having a meal at this restaurant and from the time I entered, was greeted and served it was flawless. I was having breakfast, and if their breakfast is that good, can't wait to come back for other meals. My server was beyond attentive and my coffee never went below half full, (wish it was bourbon ). I will be back. read more

I came here for a private work lunch and was served a great 3 course meal! The space was big enough to fit at least 30 of us and it wasn't too cramped. For the meal, I had the tomato soup, classic eggs benedict and the dessert was their assorted cookies. I was pretty happy with my choices and thought the tomato soup was great and I actually wanted more of it. The eggs benedict were solid but I wouldn't say it was anything spectacular. Overall, it was a good brunch menu but I do wish the dessert had been something other than cookies. To me, this place is probably more about the aesthetics and ambience. When looking at the a la carte menu, I don't think the menu is as creative and very typical of a brunch menu. Overall, the food is decent and you will have a solid meal. read more

I love Sarabeth's Park Avenue South! It's my home away from home. Great food and great staff in a comfortable setting.

The food was what I expected for a quaint breakfast spot. The flavors were fine and the service was actually really good. I didn't care for my mushroom egg dish but I was trying something I wouldn't typically try. The sausage was pretty good and I did enjoy the latte. read more

The location is great and easy to get to and the restaurant is right on the corner. When you walk in the restaurant is decorated nicely for the fall with fall foliage and pumpkins. The restaurant was very busy, but of course it's Saturday morning and it was time for brunch. The staff were excellent friendly, engaging and helpful. We were a large party we had a group of nine but we had reservations. They seated us right away at alarge table towards the front of the restaurant near the bar. Our server was one poin he had waters out to us right away and he came immediately and took our drink orders he explained the menu his likes his favorites , and got our service going right away. I love that they have bottomless coffee. We had a carafe of five flower mimosa, which was delicious. It's made of four flower juice, St. Germaine and sparkling wine. A few of us had the brunch special which was the mixed berry compote French toast with whipped cream cheese and Doerfler's organic maple syrup. The French toast was light and fluffy and not soggy, which was just delicious and a mixture of the berries and the syrup was just right. We also ordered applewood bacon they gave you a very large serving, which surprised me and the bacon was some of the best bacon I've had. I have to say.. We also had the deviled eggs but they didn't taste that great they weren't seasoned very well. They were just OK. I wouldn't get those again. Three of us had the smoked salmon omelette, which was perfect. Mine was cooked hard and it was light and fluffy was perfect. It wasn't too eggy and it wasn't too fishy, and it had capers in it as well which really added great flavor. All in all some of the was great and some was so so but the service was outstanding. read more

Brunch at Sarabeth's has the quintessential uppity vibe. The kind of place you see in movies where old money ladies go for a casual brunch. The fresh flowers in strategic places look simple and elegant. Service is top notch. We were celebrating a birthday and everyone greeted my daughter with a "happy birthday". Food was great! Dishes that sound like your standard brunch fare came out deliciously prepared. I had the farm omelette - so good ! The gueyere cheese made it special and unique. I ordered this with the scone - one of the best, most delicious scones I've had. It was moist and buttery and utterly rich. The salad it came with was simple but also very good. I had a taste of the French toast- it had the perfect texture, moist and not at all soggy. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the tomato soup. It was a little too creamy and rich which made it taste greasy. read more

I stopped by for lunch on a weekday as a walk-in and had no issues with wait time since it wasn't too busy. The atmosphere was lively but not overcrowded, making for a really enjoyable dining experience--though I suspect the timing played a big part in that. Service was quick and efficient, with my waiter being both attentive and friendly. I opted for the lunch prix fixe and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. Everything I ordered was delicious, with the steak cooked exactly how I liked it. The calamari was great too, glad they didn't remove the tentacles cuz those are my favorite part of the calamari. The lavender lemonade was the perfect refreshing drink for a warm spring day--both flavorful and thirst-quenching. The bathrooms were spotless and had a whimsical, thoughtfully designed vibe, which I really appreciated. A clean and spacious restroom is always a plus! Overall, though expensive, but a really great experience, and I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is an alright brunch spot. It was a clean restaurant that felt like it was connected to a hotel lobby with diner food quality. Service was decent, no complaints there. The waitress suggested an interesting mimosa with tropical fruit juices that included banana in it. Unfortunately it wasn't great, but I appreciated the creativity. My pancakes looked great but they were on the dry side. The side of bacon is pretty big and shareable of about 8 pieces. The house potatoes were just ok at best. read more

Came here for happy hour after work and was pleasantly surprised. There is a decent list of cocktails for $8 which I thought was great considering the part of town it is in. I got the Kir Royal which was delicious. For food, my friend and I shared the short rib tater tots, chicken confit tacos, goat cheese croquettes and the pizza. Everything was super yummy and came out quickly. Service was friendly and frequent and the place had such a nice ambiance. Would absolutely return. read more

Took myself on a solo breakfast date at Sarabeth's Park Ave S. Amazing service and food. I ordered the spinach and feta omelette with toasted buttered corn muffin. It comes with a small side salad which was lovely and I added a side of bacon and a cup of caramel cappuccino with oat milk. Wonderful. My waiter was kind and accommodating. The ambiance was lackluster. They can use a refresh. But it's a classic staple and worth the visit. read more

We came to Sarabeth's on Father's Day. Immediately when I walked in the spot was kind of giving hotel breakfast vibes, not necessarily in a good way.

Three-ish stars. Sarabeth's is an upscale American restaurant that serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. They are perhaps best known for their brunch service, but I came here for dinner. The prices are slightly higher, but they do offer a prix fixe menu for $45. Although the Prix fixe menu choices are limited, I believe it was a good deal. Overall, the service was pleasant and quick. I thought the food was only okay. I might come back and try their brunch. read more

We had a large group here for brunch. They sat us near the front window on a high table, which was actually good, as we could all hear each other & it wasn't too loud. The popovers were fine, kind of tough and hollow. Their French toast special was the right size and very good. The lemon pancakes presented well and looked good. They don't rush you out of there once your meal is over. The whole place has that upper crust vibe, with a legion of living Amercian girl doll kids coming in for brunch. Overall, a great meal. read more

My summer brunch marathon continues, and this week I found myself at Sarabeth's. This spot was brought to my attention by my dad and one of my friends who have had a few lunches here; they both had good things to say, and since their brunch menu looked good I thought it was a great place to do a little brunching. There are actually four Sarabeth's locations, and since the Park Ave S spot was the one most familiar with my dad we chose that one. The restaurant is quite spacious - walking in you're greeted by the host stand and some shelves that contain jars of their marmalades for sale. There are multiple sections to sit, including an outdoor area. The decor was somewhat modern - lots of bright colors and large windows that provided an abundance of natural light. The color scheme was mostly creams mixed with medium earth tones. We were there at 11am, which gave us access to their brunch *and* lunch menus. Before food though, we got drinks - I went with their Bloody Mary which was just fine. I would liked to have tasted a little more depth - it lacked a little something for me. We decided to start with the basket of muffins, scones, and "legendary" (their words) marmalades. I was impressed - they had at least 3 to 4 different muffins and one scone, plus butter and a few different marmalades for spreading. The carbs were good - I hesitate to call the marmalades legendary, but they were quite good. For my main I got the spinach and goat cheese omelette. I really enjoyed this - the omelette was fluffy, generously sized, and came with a side of greens to cut through the relative richness of the goat cheese. I had my choice of side toast (I got sourdough) which came with butter and preserves for spreading. The dish as a whole really worked. Service was good, they were on top of everything and made sure we were taken care of. Overall, I enjoyed brunch at Sarabeth's - while the reviews seem to be mixed here on Yelp, I thought they gave a solid offering in a bustling yet relaxed environment. I wouldn't hesitate to return here if given the opportunity. read more
