    Food and service were wonderful. Great location on Lexington less than 2 blocks from subway station. A great neighborhood restaurant, not touristy.

    It was Christmas Day but there was no lessening of service or food preparation. As usual it was a very happy and relaxed dining experience. We had our typical brunch……eggs done as requested and crispy fries and side salad. Mimosas for the holiday. Waiter couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. Happy holiday all round!!

    Festive atmosphere for a holiday brunch. Food was good…we had French toast, marguez omelette and huevos rancheros. Felt it was overpriced but they do offer a free mimosa or coffee with brunch.

    The staff is very pleasant and helpful, we enjoyed our meals, and the prices were reasonable. It took a while for dinner to arrive, but maybe because the restaurant was really busy. I will be back.

    The kind of neighborhood gem that used to be on every corner but is now rare in Manhattan. Love it.
