Boulton & Watt
“Brunch is delish in nice quietish surroundings, NEW YEAR's WAS LOUD AND FUN and everything you'd hope a party could be.”
“For cocktails we had the Mexican Revolver (tequila, agave, jalapeno and champagne), which seems to be a favorite, and an Apple Martini.”
“I really liked the setting here – warehouse chic with the exposed brick, wooden tables and iron stool seats.”

My friend and I came here last Friday night after leaving the Nuyorican Poets Cafe Friday Poetry Slam.
Points for being one of the only spots in the area that the kitchen is open after 11pm! Our tummies thank you. The Guac is solid. I'm a fan. This was my dinner and it was spicy and tasty!
I heard the cocktails are good.
The environment is good. Mostly young professionals who are out for a nice chill night out. You wont have to worries about sticky floors or trying to find toilet paper in the bathroom in this place…… def not a divey type of bar. I say this even though I had an economic dynamic profitability argument with some drunk dude that worked for Unicef. Apparently he didn't think Banks are needed. I guess he wants to be paid in chickens. NOT A SLAM ON UNICEF BY ANY MEANS. Just funny argument to have at 1am at a bar. #1st world adult problems
Please look up at the bar. The fans are memorizing
Good service, nice venue inside and out. Been for after work drinks and brunch and both are good. There's a few outdoor tables for brunch which we snagged and was great. Veggie burger was delicious. Drinks specials from 10-4. Would recommend this place for both brunch and after work drinks!
Boulton and Watt is that type of laid back, unpretentious restaurant that you can go to for a casual nights out with your girl/guy friends for drinks and filling affordable food. The dress code here ranged from really casual to ready-for-clubbing. The music was loud and lively, and everyone shared communal tables. If you're in a big enough of a group with a reservation beforehand, then you can be guaranteed your own table.
The food here leaned towards Southern, so lots of cheese and lots of deep-fried things with pretty decent sized servings. Personally, I'm not a huge Southern food person as I find it far too heavy, but I was able to appreciate the flavors here.
We started with the artichoke fondue, pineapple pickle jar, and asparagus with bacon and sunny-side up egg to share. The artichoke fondue tasted like artichoke dip, so it was quite tasty, but I was not a fan of the really hard bread that came with it. The pickle pineapple was really refreshing and had a nice kick to it. A few of my friends thought this was spicy, but I really couldn't taste any spice. The asparagus was cooked to the perfect level of crunchiness and thus by far my favorite dish and probably the only healthy option of the night (ignore the part about the bacon).
For my entree, I had the shrimp pappardelle, an all around really flavorful pasta. There was nothing super spectacular about it, but if you're looking for something hearty, it will definitely do the trick There was so much in it – shrimp, asparagus, tomatoes, cheese, etc. – that my tiny self couldn't finish everything.
Since it was my friend's birthday, the restaurant kindly put a big candle on her cookie cake dessert. The cookie cake comes with a huge jug of whole milk on the side – a really cute idea!
This is a really nice bar that I've visited for Happy Hour a few times with friends. Good atmosphere and friendly service.
The seating situation is very nice! You can sit on the sidewalk in good weather or you can have a drink inside at a table or the bar. They open the windows completely so it feels very "open air".
Happy hour prices are good- $5 beer and wine (I think) and $8 cocktails. I had "Out of the Office" cocktail and it was delicious and coconutty. The food is good, too. I've had the guac and chips and they were nice and fresh!
Tip: Go downstairs and pee before you get drunk. Stairs and alcohol don't mix!!
There was a hair in my friend's water glass, a hair in her food, and a hair IN MY STRAW that I sipped up (barf). Waitress was so cold and actually rolled her eyes at us today just because we said we were still waiting for a friend. Food was decent but served cold. Got one of the Benedicts and the egg did not run, it was overcooked. Sangria was flavorless. Bathroom was dirty (no paper towels and the soap was watered down which made me weary). Only thing I really liked was that it wasn't too crowded so we could hang out there for a while (although is emptiness a telling sign?)
Makes me uncomfortable to write this review because the service was very friendly. But the food was just very A-OK!
I had ordered the burger and fries. For ~$15 bucks I really hope for something better. My point of reference is shake shack. (Because that $10 shack burger HITS EVERY CRAVING, and satisfies every HUMAN NEED that exists)
So if you need a bar, that has decent food and good service, this could be your place!
Came here to celebrate my birthday with a large group (15) friends over brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The group was seated in an L shape in the front corner of the restaurant. The arrangement seemed odd at first, but turned out to be good since it was easy to move around to talk with people, especially at the junction of the L. The tables were a good size since all of the food and drinks fit on it and there was still plenty of space. The atmosphere of the place is industrial, but laid back. The fan contraption was interesting to watch.
Service was good considering the place was packed. Brunch cocktails cost $6 and were on the strong side in terms of alcohol. The mimosa was light and fruity. The sangria was sweet, smooth and came with a mix of blackberries and raspberries mixed in. The Mac and cheese with mushrooms was delicious. The mushrooms incorporated into the Mac and cheese and did not water it down so the richness of the cheese and mushroom flavor could be savored in each bite. The pasta was just the right texture and shape to hold on to the cheese. The short rib Benedict was amazing. It seems that the short rib meat was mixed with bone marrow to make it extra rich. The roasted potatoes that came on the side were delicious as well and had a good level of spice. French toast was above average. The custard to bread ratio was spot on and had the right amount of sweetness with a little bit of syrup and fruit. The portion size for each dish was just right as I was full, but not overly stuffed. The milk and cookie dessert was also tasty. Definitely eat the cookie and milk together as the cookie was too dry alone.
The Quick: Phenomenal brunch experience where a group of nine fit comfortably and everyone loved their dish. Must get one of the pickle jars, I recommend the pineapple – sweet and spicy.
The Details: This restaurant is very open, big wood tables, metal bar stools, and southern flair, overall a great vibe. The menu is more exotic than your typical brunch. There's something for everyone. Definitely recommend for a group or a casual start to a Sunday Funday.
Although I absolutely loved the food, service, and vibe, the girls bathrooms downstairs was horrible. Apparently there is a bathroom on the first floor that's much cleaner/nicer.
The Damage: Group of 9 with a few drinks came to about $200 before tip. Very reasonable will return!
