In Short – Eatery's design is spare: High white ceilings, a cement floor and green banquettes. A small, well-populated bar sits off to the side. The New American menu is well-suited for snacking. Comfort foods abound, with dishes like baked macaroni and cheese, jerk chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, garlic roast chicken and a chili-rubbed pork chop with polenta. Desserts include cheesecake, warm chocolate cake and an ice cream sandwich with whipped cream.
Great brunch place - could improve server knowledge!

Loved the food, but not the service/reservation system!
We ordered poached eggs and French Toast, and the portions were huge! Prices were reasonable too, especially for a highly-rated, hip New York restaurant.
Made a reservation online wherein I was told 11:30 wasn't available but 11:00 was so we rushed to get there. Funnily, it was half-empty when we got there at 11:15. Not sure what to make of that.
My gripe with the service was the server's knowledge. I had specifically asked for no bananas in my French Toast, and the server said sure. Minutes later, my first bite of chocolate-stuffed French Toast, and there it was - banana! To make it worse, the server now said it was part of the pureed mixture inside so could not be removed. I doubt they came up the recipe since I had placed the order, so shouldn't the server have known that?
- Pros: Good food, decent prices
- Cons: Uninformed server, questionable reservation system
Great food
by winterdaisy
I really liked the food. Everything we ordered was good, from the barbeque flatbread appetizer to Mac & Jac. Food is VERY filling and has lots of cheese, so you might want to order a vegetable side, like sauteed spinach, to balance it out.
- Pros: unique twist on food
- Cons: waited 20 minutes although I had a reservation

"Good times abound" at this "friendly" Hell's Kitchen, New American restaurant, a "cool white" destination for locals digging into a "crowd-pleasing" menu of "affordable" "modern diner" items like its "famous mac 'n' jack" - Zagat.
