My boyfriend and I stopped in here for a late breakfast on a weekday afternoon. The diner is super tiny and as such was super crowded. The tables are so packed together that you literally have to squeeze by the person sitting at the table next to you to get to your seat.
I ordered the huevos racheros – my usual go-to brunch selection. It was tasty. I especially liked that they used salsa verde rather than your typical tomato salsa. My boyfriend ordered french toast and he said it was the best he's ever had.
The service was ok. Our server picked up the tip and counted it right in front of us as we sat there finishing up our coffee. Seriously?
A cosy and affordable diner near the MET. Nice and homely. The food is average but good. I really liked the omelet I had here. A good place to grab a quick bite.
Pro: Great spot near the MET to grab a nice strong cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
Vibe: Nectar is a small cozy space that has an old-school diner charm that's going missing from the city pretty quickly.
Service: Fast, efficient and didn't try to rush us out and free coffee refills.
A good local diner, busy busy busy But we liked it!. We spent the good part of the day at Central Park and were walking back to our hotel when we turned the corner and saw the place was full, a plate what looked like baked chicken ( it was!) and we were hungry – so we went in. Funny, when I checked in I saw it has less stars than the 4 star breakfast place I just rated a "1". So with a little trepidation we ordered. What a great waitress we had. Clearly, the are busy here but she took the time to answer our questions and we made two good choices.
The baked chicken had a wait time, which if we had the time we would have done, so we opted for a tuckey sandwich, served thick with turkey roasted there and sliced and a hot open faced pastrami reuben sandwich that was sooooo good.
Go the the Met at 80th street and walk straight past all the food trucks one block down and turn right and in the door! Like most places in upper east side- pricey but we thought it was a good NY experience.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is a relatively cheap diner near the MET. Good place to stop for a quick bite of food.
That being said, the menu prices here are HILARIOUS. Some things are cheap and others are ridiculously pricy. For example, the sausage and egg breakfast I ordered was like $10, whereas a lox bagel was over $20??
The sausages and eggs were good. Kinda salty, but exactly what you would expect from a diner. Drop by if you're looking for a place to eat by the MET.
Decent breakfast near the Met. Neither amazing nor awful. Service was good enough and the food was reasonably good. It won't inspire you but it will do the trick on the way to the Met.
First time I've been back in thirteen years and they still make the best brunch in town!
So a girl walks into a restaurant and orders a burger…(no this isn't a joke, but er. maybe it is. A bad one. That leaves a bad and incomplete–read on–taste in my mouth.)
Said cheeseburger arrives. With no lettuce, no tomatoes. Basically just a slab of beef between two buns. I mean, I get that this is a casual place. But I didn't realize we were rationing the basic burger add-ons like they were all fancy or something. I don't think I've ever ordered a burger at a restaurant and been given the bare minimum of beef and bread. It's borderline insulting. And just plain weird and cheap on the restaurant's behalf, really.
Walked away having paid for a $20 piece of ground beef and white bread. Grossly unimpressed. For $20, I expect to be thrown at least a piece of rabbit food, for Lettuce sakes.
Sure, this is the Upper East Side and it's expectedly $$, but for $$, I expect a halfway swanky burger. Or at least one that has enough self respect to dress itself with the basics.
