“I would say it's a nice place to go to when you want to chill around Herald Square and you're not really feeling Korean food.”
“If you love seafood try their Lobster ravioli or Lobster Mac &a cheese it's really good!”
“The location is wonderful for visitors who use the Amtrak or Greyhound because it's an easy walk to Penn Station.”

Pretty good spot for brunch. I had chilaquiles and wife had eggs with short ribs. Both dishes were well prepared and the flavors were on point. I wish the portions were bigger, but the prices were reasonable especially for Midtown NYC. The space is pretty tight. Our server mixed up the check with the table next to us, but the bills were exactly the same to the penny!
Stopped by on Easter Sunday for quick brunch bite before my sister had to catch a train at Penn Station. After seeing that most places in the area weren't open yet or were swamped, this seemed like a good choice.
We were able to grab a seat at the bar quickly and amazingly each downed a bloody mary and a brunch entree in less than 40 minutes from when we walked in, which was great since we were in a rush. The food seemed consistent, good, and decently priced. The other people at the bar were extremely nice and the staff were enjoyable to be around.
Overall, they're not pushing the boundaries with their food at all but it's a reliable spot to grab a bite or drink when in Herald Square for me now.
Gotta love the super convenient and central location! Can be hit or miss, but their good dishes are REALLY good.
Came here for brunch a couple times. The first time I got the lobster benedict and was disappointed because the lobster was cold, like right-out-of-the-fridge cold. I actually asked the waiter if it was supposed to be like that, and they said yes so I sucked it up and ate it.
The second time I shared the eggs on short rib hash and the challah French toast with bananas and hazelnut butter. These were SO much better. My absolute favorite is definitely the short rib – it was rich, flavorful, unique, and pretty much perfection. Would order again. French toast was soft and fluffy, super satisfying for anyone with a sweet tooth.
I could see myself coming back just because it's so convenient, and there's a ton of seating so there's rarely a wait even for weekend brunch. That short rib dish is worth it enough to come back!
Don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside this place looks great. Decent menu, prices, good location, cute atmosphere etc. but I've never had a more awkward eating experience than I did when my mom and I decided to eat here before we left the city. Our waitress was incredibly awkward with absolutely no manners or etiquette. The food was bland. My mom got the mussels and I got the chilled lobster. When my mom received her mussels she wanted to ask the waitress for a different bowl so all the sauce wasn't sinking to the bottom before she could finish the waitress took her mussels and had the kitchen make her a new bowl which is not what she wanted. I have no reason to ever return.
It's a classic brunch place. I come because it's convenient, although I wish the pricing wasn't that high. Sitting by the window at this restaurant is really nice (you can take really awesome food pics). But once you're put away from the window, it seems a bit…dim, which makes me super gloomy and tired because the lights they use are yellow. No thanks!
Food is not amazing, but it's decent. I got the avocado swiss wrap the first time, and it was yummy! But the second time I went, for some reason, the wrap was MUCH smaller than what it used to be, which obviously made me like = =;
The staff is nice, but not as attending as I hope they would be. Also when they refilled my water, they spilled like all over my glass and some on my food. My wrap became soggy? Another = =; moment.
Came for a late dinner – the food was really tasty – great when you find a place that knows how to cook a burger. The menu was extensive and reasonable considering the area. The service was top notch – we sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and nice!
My review is for the brunch only.
The blood mary was bleh, but the wild mushroom omelet here is solid. Got seated here fairly quickly during prime brunch hours. However that being said, it got full pretty quickly soon after being seated.
Nice location…near ktown, penn station, manhattan mall, etc…
Not the greatest food but not the worst. Just okay.
Excellent brunch on Easter. Grapefruit mimosas and eggs with beef short ribs. Ample portion for only $16. I wasn't expecting toast and salad to come with it. Very prompt and attentive service at the bar.
