What People Are Saying About Deborah Restaurant
The Editor

The Scene – The blocky red and black decor here begets a surprisingly homey air. Casual dates sip wine at dinnertime; brunches attract an equally mellow crowd. Service is personable and adequate, but courses can overlap or take a bit too long, and wine glasses are occasionally left parched. – – The Food – The specialty here is comforting home-style cooking. Salads, especially the beets with blue cheese, walnuts and baby spinach, are a great bet and generous enough to share. Other starters, such as the grilled pizza and the cod cakes, can be hit or miss.

Great lunch menu - totally worth taking your full lunch hour
by biggmakk64
I've passed by Deborah for years. Never paid attention to it. A friended insisted on having lunch there. I'm glad he did. Cozy, comfortable with great service. I had the Veggie Burger - the best I've ever had. Served on foccacia it was not the usual mashed-soy-grain-bomb that I usually end up getting. Totally original; not sure exactly what it was made from. Anyway, delicious with the chipotle mayo. Bass Ale on tap. Window seat. Perfect way to spend a weekday lunch. The prices aren't low but the portions are mighty. I cannot comment on the other things on the lunch menu but I'm sure they're pretty good.
- Pros: Food, service, decor
- Cons: small, not cheap

Don't Listen to the Haters. Go To Deborahs. You'll Love It.

I am surprised and a bit offended by the recent bad reviews for this, my favorite restaurant in the city. I guess the bright side is that it will keep some people away and keep Deborah the best kept secret in Manhattan. I have been there for Bruch, Lunch, and Dinner, and every time was fantastic. Brunch is a bit hurried, but that happens at all small brunch places worth eating at in NYC. This ain't IHOP or Denny's and they don't have tons of tables. The Mac and Cheese bests any other, and the Huevos Rancheros cannot be beat (or even found for that matter) anywhere else in the universe. BEST RESTAURANT EVER!
- Pros: Tasty, unique food.
- Cons: Busy at times

Great Chef! Best Personal Service!
by hammernet
Wonderful atmosphere, red, lush and warm feeling. Has an imaginative menu with lots to offer in the area of tasty flavor and all the breakfast/brunch dishes we were served came out looking so artistic, the presentation was unexpectedly well thoughtout. Healthy portions and healthy ingredients accompany an all-together satisifying dinning experience. Great place to take that special someone on a date!!
- Pros: Romantic, inventive menu, healthy ingredients & poritions! Memorable staff!
- Cons: on the smallish side, long narrow dining space (this could be a PRO too, very initimate feeling)
