Fantastic service! We came here for a birthday brunch and were able to chorale 15 people to Regional on Saturday for their brunch special. From the moment we arrived, Jodie made sure we were well taken care of. She welcomed us and greeted us as if we were family. She had the table arranged so that we could get in and out, great people, and so that everyone could socialize. Despite it being fairly busy, she came by several times to socialize, crack jokes, and help us with our drinks. Our glasses were constantly filled, and the make your own Bloody Mary option provided Bloody Mary fans with the chance to build the Bloody Mary to their tastes and spice preference.
As a former Upper West Sider, I have to say this is one of the best deals in the area and maybe even in the city. Entrees were reasonably priced around $13-20 and for just $7 dollars you could get unlimited mimosas with fresh squeezed orange juice or make-your-own Bloody Marys. The fact that we were able to get a large group in without having to RSVP weeks in advance was also appreciated.
The food was decent and you get a lot for what you pay for. The music (80s and 90s) also was great and brought our table back to the days when we could hang better at brunch. The biggest drawback was that there was only one bathroom so as difficult as it may be during a booze brunch, try not to break the seal until after you leave.
Came here for the Monday night $9 pasta special. I asked the waitress between two pasta dishes which one was better. Instead, she recommended another dish entirely. She told us that some pastas are from a box, but the tonnarelli with pecorino cheese and black pepper dish was made with fresh pasta. She said the cheese ravioli with truffle butter was too rich but the tonnarelli is enjoyed by many customers. She basically raved about it. When I got it, it was a nice big portion but it was super rich and super salty! It was so salty it burned my mouth. The flavor was good and I could tell the pasta was fresh, but I did not enjoy eating it because it was a heavy dish. It needed some vegetables to even out the cheese flavor. Would still come back for pasta night, but I would not order that dish again.
I came here for boozy brunch. In summary unlimited drinks (win!)…food (not so much).
The waiters were really great. Our party arrived pretty late and they allowed us to stay at the table, order appetizers and chill while we waited. They made sure our glasses were full and in general were very pleasant. I ordered the steak and eggs and didn't really like it too much. But for the price of everything I can't really complain too much. If I went back I would probably get one of the pastas.
They have some high tables with tall chairs and then regular tables as well. It's a pretty small place but looks like they can have some decent sized parties. It was definitely a decent spot for boozy brunch- Id probably go back and try different food. I guess the service and mimosas won me over.
When we wandered in here around brunch-time last Sunday, the Bertha the very friendly hostess probably didn't know what to make of us. We'd already had breakfast at a diner up the street, and were now trying to hack Sunday liquor laws by getting booze at a restaurant. I'm sure it raised some red flags, but Bertha didn't miss a beat.
Within a couple of minutes we were set up with 2 Bloody Marys and a bucket of DIY ingredients that really hit the spot. I love the idea of making a Bloody to my personal flavor and spice specifications, and everything I needed was in that bucket. Surprisingly, our weird preference to just drink and not get any brunch food (there's a very good unlimited boozy brunch deal on offer) managed to charm the hostess just enough to still offer us the basket of mini-muffins, meant for more traditional brunchers, on the house. The muffins were tasty!
Between the warmth and personal touch of the hostess and those Bloodys, I can't for the life of me understand why it doesn't have a higher rating. It's a great little neighborhood restaurant.
whenever i go to brunch, i am in total hangery mode, so imagine my surprise when i stumbled into this spot recently and was immediately handed a mimosa and a basket of muffins. this place rules. the management and staff are super accommodating and the good vibes/booze are a-flowin'. it's definitely NOT a mistake to go here, unlike the DMV. that place is the WORST.
One of my favorite spots in New York City, especially for brunch. A warm atmosphere with ingredients sourced from all over Italy. Their pastas are to die for. Jodie, the charismatic owner, is so friendly and radiates enthusiasm. They do a bottomless brunch special on weekends, and Jodie circles tables with a pitcher of mimosas, making sure no glass gets lower than half full. Perfect for friends, couples, and families alike. A top destination on the upper west for sure!
Yeah, crappy service. Very disinterested waitress and pretty mediocre food. Not bad, and cool with the many different types of sausages, but ultimately they all tasted the same. Its basically a step up from diner food. BUT their drinks are strong and unlimited. So, for $20 not bad! Honestly though, the food and service was 2 stars, and the unlimited bevvies that you could add your own spices to (for the bloody Mary anyway), was pretty cool!!
I came by here for a reunion for a friend who was revisiting the city. When she told me that brunch was going to be at this place, I was confused because it wasn't one of the typical names that you hear for all-you-can-drink places (i.e. calle ocho, etc). Regardless, I arrived and found my two friends sitting outside and they realized they needed a bigger table. The hostess (manager? waitress?) accommodated us to a larger table to fit our party. Then my friend received a phone call saying that even more people would be joining us, so the restaurant staff helped us move again. It was a bit odd because, yes, we were being ABSOLUTELY annoying to this restaurant by moving not once but TWICE, the waitstaff lady wasn't… I don't know how to put this… helping us in the nicest way? She let a bit of her annoyance show through, but still was attempting to help us out. It was a bit awkward, but whatever, they made it work for us. Enough about that.
When some other friends joined later, she recognized them as I guess locals and greeted them personally, which was nice. Maybe I'll be a recognizable face in the future. The table brunch opened with DELICIOUS little muffins. I swear, I ate like 10 of those little guys. I ordered a pandorato for my meal and skipped the aycd mimosas (I stopped drinking at restaurants when unneccessary). The pandorato meal came with two large French toast looking things that were smeared with strawberry jam on top and squeezed with ricotta cheese inside. VERY large meal, or maybe it felt that way after eating all those muffins. Either way, I was very full after the meal and enjoyed it. I wish, however, that the jam was real fruit instead, because that was the impression that I got when I ordered it.
It was a nice filling meal and we sat around for a long time even after our meal and the staff didn't try to kick us out or hurry us along. It was a fine meal and I'm hoping to check it out again! Maybe for that $9 pasta dinners. Sounds like my kind of dinner haha.
