Copper Kettle Kitchen

“The whipped ricotta appetizer was also delicious– the ricotta was so fresh and creamy and served with truffle oil.”

“If you are to order from the "Comfort" section on the menu, which is separate from the appetizer section and is the majority of the menu, you should order as you would order tapas.”

“Really cute ambiance that's a welcome addition to the UES.”

  1. Not bad but nothing all that ground breaking.

    Went here for brunch with my boyfriend and ordered the eggs Benedict and the eggs. The plates were small – even for UES standards. The potatoes tasted like they were cooked in truffle oil which probably constituted the price. Decent cocktails, and an extremely large beer list.

    Wouldn't go back here for food, maybe for craft beer. Service and staff were nice, but over all the price just didn't match up with the portions or price.

  2. This spot was jam packed today for brunch! I've been eyeing it and meaning to go but they don't open until 12pm compared to some other 11am brunch spots. We managed to get a table luckily as a walk-in due to a no-shows reservation (lucky us).

    Inside has quite the charm, looked like a spot out of the Great Gatsby movie 🙂 I loved it. The attendant, waiters, and servers were awesome and very attentive and friendly.

    The menu is decent – looks like they might update it seasonally. We had the eggs Benedict and I asked for the pancakes as a replacement to the fresh toast with walnuts and bananas. My dish was quite fulfilling. They come in very small plates and I do believe they are a smaller portion than most other establishments. The berry mimosa was okay, I don't think it was fresh berries they soaked in it though 🙁 The eggs Benedict were definitely a small portion than the typical english egg muffins, the hollandaise sauce was very good and creamy.

    Overall for a party of two, with tax and tip it was about $50. Decent but we'll probably visit only seasonally for when they change up the items on the menu a bit. Definitely worth a try! It might be your new go-to brunch spot!

  3. We went for brunch. The menu is small but they allow you to order off the regular menu too. The brunch portions are small for the price. The pork over biscuits was tasty but I needed a side of fries to be satisfied. And for $14 I think you should feel satiated with a brunch dish. The table next to us ordered the pancakes and the dish came out with only 2 pancakes. I think they need to adjust their portion size or their prices.

  4. Came here on a date not too long ago. It's extremely close to my apartment so I've been hoping to actually come here for awhile.The atmosphere is intimate, with comfortable mood lighting and good space. The staff was friendly (although a manager said we could only be seated if we were finished by a certain time in order to accommodate people with reservations, which I get, but you're either able to serve us or not man come on) and the food was delicious.

    Like the other reviews I've seen posted here, the plates (think southern comfort food-themed tapas) were a bit pricey given their portions and content, but it was all still good. I also suspect one of the servers may have been high, which is fine, just funny. He complimented me on the length of my name.

    Go here.

  5. I went here last night for dinner with my wife. I always love trying new spots on the upper east side and this one does not disappoint. Our waiter, Martin, was excellent. When we told him how much we liked the eggplant meatballs and asked what was in them (other than eggplant) because we wanted to try to make them ourselves, he was kind enough to go into the kitchen and ask the chef step by step how they are made. Sorry, I'm not giving out this semi secret recipe. So back to those eggplant meatballs, the texture was pretty similar to meat rather than eggplant. They had lots of flavor and would have been even better if they came with more sauce, but a great dish nonetheless. The gnocchi was fantastic, nice fluffy pillow shaped goodness. If you don't love nuts, you can easily eat around them and the dish will still rate high in your book. We also had the pirogies. I think those were our favorite. Nice, fresh, moist and hot, but not burn your mouth off hot, and topped with some caramelized onions. The plates are small but most dishes are savory enough to fill you up. Get 1.5 to 2 plates per person and you will be happy. Come on in and give it a try people.

  6. We were here last Sunday for brunch. It's an alright space with a very plain interior. I ordered the $18.00 pork chops, got 3-small pork medallions drowned with a sweet sticky sauce. Julie got a microscopic  "entree salad". My food was average at best, Julie's wasn't worth it and was poor.
    My main problem was with the server both slow, forgetful and gross. He kept saying he would be back with bread, he never did and we didn't ever get any. He kept saying he would be back with the rest of our food, I pointed out on more than one occasion that we hadn't been served any of of our food. I don't really think he got it. The main problem was he was perspiring big time and kept wiping his face and brow with his hand and then serving customers food. We just couldn't get over it. We will, for sure, never be back.
