Why did it take me so long?
Marlow & Sons is a favorite amongst almost everyone I care about in New York. Given most people make decisions based off of recommendations alone, it's strange I've ignored them thus far. I'm sorry, everyone.
The beauty is in the simplicity. Breakfast offerings are limited, but they're all done so well. The coffee drinks are perfect, their variety of breakfast biscuits are delicious (don't miss the bacon, egg, and cheese option), and the soft boiled eggs with sprouted rye bread makes for a delicious start to the day. Arguably these are three items anyone with a pulse could make at home, but I promise you they taste better here. Suck it, arm chair sous chefs. Go back to watching The Chew.
Now that I'm a breakfast pro, lunch and dinner have to happen immediately. Gotta make up for lost time and all…
We arrived on a rainy Sunday for brunch around 1pm. We were seated right away, which is a rarity for NYC Sunday brunch spots. The waitress wasn't overly friendly, but she answered our questions very thoroughly. We split a scone, which had hints of cinnamon. The rhubarb jam was really delicious!
For main, I got the Poached Eggs dish, which is poached eggs on top of toasted baguette. The eggs were cooked very well. I wish that there was more on the menu, or more items I could've ordered on the side because I wasn't fully satisfied. I think I need to come back for the sticky bun though. It looked amazing!
Their bartender is a sweet-haht. Reall funny, and real strong drinks. This establishment gave me exactly what I needed… two strong gin martini's before heading off to their sister restaurant Diner next door.
Really nice space, kind of a cool entrance through a store… nice long bar. Fresh seafood / oyster bar. Loved what I saw, will be back for more.
Went for lunch at Frieze where they only had a limited menu. I got grilled ramps over morel and polenta and it was the most uninspired dish ever. Combination of ingredients did not make sense and flavors seriously clashed with each other. Morel was dry and overcooked. Polenta was too soupy. Why would you throw parsley leaves on top of all that?
Very bad way for me to drop $36.
On coffee alone this is a 5. I had two cups. It tasted really nice. Got some fruit hints and a well done roast. On scone rating I'd give it a 5 again. Super good. And the blonde baker bringing them out was cute. One the sausage, egg, and cheese. I'll give it a 5 as well. The sausage was a good flavor and was a lil spicy. (Imagine like black pepper spiced) the biscuit flaked off in your mouth. I like the outdoor seating. I was here Sunday at 8am. No wait, no line. Good place and Arnold Shorts (sic) said, "I'LL BE BACK"
Delicious! Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. I was worried the wait would be long but luckily we were seated right away. I think they're more of a brunch destination.
If you haven't been here, do it!! The vibe is really cute. Wooden interiors, bar or communal seating and shelves full of merchandise that they sell (I saw sea salt hair spray and leather goods – there was a note on their shelf that said they sell bags made from leather from the animals they serve in the kitchen).
Food tastes fresh and is savory without the heavy. We ordered the oysters, soup, kale salad, pizza, beef tartare and pâté. Would recommend all of the above! All their oysters are from the east coast so they were brine-y to my liking (though on the pricey side for oysters), soup and kale salad were flavorful and flight, pizza came with delightful fluffy foccacia like bread, beef tartare was paired with juicy asparagus and pate was delish. We heard portions were pretty big so we basically only ordered appetizers (everything but the burrata) and wanted to leave room for the chocolate caramel tarte (yum!).
In summary, great meal! Will come back sometime to try their brunch menu.
Timeout best of list review…
Very cute spot with outdoor seating.
Unfortunately they were out of bagels by 12:30p which was a bummer since that is what we came for – bagel with whitefish salad. Instead we are having it on rye and the rye bread was fantastic!
We loved the dish and would have it again.
Baked eggs with broccoli was amazing! It was crunchy deliciousness. It went well with the rye and whitefish.
We loved the atmosphere for brunch. The food was incredible! Every dishes were unique and full of flavors. Lots of tasty vegetarian options also. I definitely recommend to go there!
