Best Brunch Restaurants in University Heights

On the evening of Thursday, December 26, 2024 we dined at Red Rooster & it was a lovely experience. We are a totally blind couple & the staff could not have been more accommodating. Our waitress, Autumn could not have been nicer and more attentive. Each time she put down an item, she told us where she put the item & what each thing was. She made drink recommendations & they were spot on. The food was delicious & we asked if they could cut up our stakes & they did so, willingly and without any hesitation. It was the best dining experience we have ever had. We were honored that the Chef came out & spoke to us about the food. He re-assured us that each time we were there the service would be at the same standards, top notch. The security guard was so nice to escort us to our cab. We highly recommend the Red Rooster for a fabulous dining experience.

There were 5 of us. Everyone's food was good! I had the chicken and waffles. They let me swap out the spicy chicken for wings since I don't eat spicy food. It was delicious. One friend had salmon and rice, the others had some variation of mac and cheese which they all enjoyed.

Le Monde, a long-time resident of Morningside Heights, was full of festivity and rich, French food on Christmas. The pinot noir was top-notch. My guy had escargot, followed by a duck main course, and I had the salmon over spinach with a sauce I can't remember before we shared a chocolate mousse. We're glad we went early, because a lot of time for digestion was required. Our only criticism was that the guitar-player who sang wonderful tunes, mostly in French, was amplified, and we could barely hear each other. Minus the amplification, this would have been a plus, and I'm sure it was only for the holiday. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and we'd do it again.

I planned a Brunch for my best friends Birthday and Retirement. I became ill and wasn't able to make it. She told me her waitresses were excellent made her feel special . She had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious and she was very Happy and had a great time. Only downfall the DJ she said let switching the music too fast.
